Rooted in ancestral wisdom, Menstrual Cycle Awareness (MCA) is the simple yet life-changing practice of honouring the four phases of the menstrual cycle:
Menstrual
Follicular
Ovulatory
Luteal
It’s recognition that, as women our energy levels, moods, motivation, and more ebb and flow with our reproductive hormones. And that our menstrual cycles are about so much more than fertility and bleeding.
Working with this innate rhythm by aligning your self-care, diet, exercise, and productivity for each phase can bring a sense of ease and reduce stress.
