Your menstrual health is one of the clearest signs of how you’re doing overall. Your cycle reflects what happens in your body, your mind, your relationships and your inner life, at every stage from your first period to perimenopause and menopause. When we look at it as a whole, we can understand it better and take better care of ourselves.

This course is for women who want to understand their menstrual health and take an active role in their health in all its dimensions. Step by step, one theme per week, we look at body, mind, heart and soul.

Each session starts with a clear input of about 30 minutes, followed by practical impulses and time for your questions and exchange in a small group. You’ll come away informed, with concrete ideas for your everyday life and the experience that you’re not alone in this.

The course is in English, for women living in Germany and anywhere else who want clear, grounded information in a language they’re comfortable with.

 The six sessions 

Body

  1. Understanding your cycle and the transition: what happens in your body from menstrual health to perimenopause and menopause, and why experiences vary so much
  2. Caring for your body: nutrition and movement as the foundations for feeling well

Mind
3. Rest, stress and mental health: why rest and sleep matter so much, mood changes, brain fog and concentration, building resilience, managing your energy and time, and staying well at work

Heart
4. Relationships and sexuality: intimacy, desire, communication with your partner and family, and asking for what you need

Soul
5. Identity, meaning and community: who you are becoming, self-compassion, and building the support around you

Your path forward
6. Your options and your next steps: an overview of support from lifestyle and herbal approaches to hormone therapy, how to prepare for conversations with your doctor, and your personal plan for the months ahead.
