From “I’m interested in cycles” to “I do this work”
I'm currently reading Lena Dunham's memoir Famesick. I think it is the most honest memoir on pelvic pain, endometriosis and chronic illness that I have ever read.
Have you noticed this, more stories and conversations being had in the public sphere on women's health?
Perhaps you've noticed yourself becoming more interested in conversations on the female body lately. Maybe there's a growing excitement to learn more about hormones, perimenopause, fertility, female pleasure or conditions like the freshly renamed PMOS.
Maybe clients have started bringing questions around these topics into your sessions or you're the friend that everyone goes to to discuss their period.
And maybe, there's a part of you thinking...
“I think I’d actually love doing this work.”
or
"I'd love to be able to go deeper on these conversations with my clients."
This is so often how it starts. Well, it certainly did for me and many of the trainees we've had come through Cycle Coach School!
I studied visual arts and business at university, and certainly never expected to be a global women's coach and a published author on the topic of periods, but what do they say? I didn't choose the cyclic life, the cyclic life chose me :wink:
One thing we discuss often inside Cycle Coach School is that knowing about the menstrual cycle isn’t quite the same thing as knowing how to support women through the actual realities of their lives.
It's one thing to know about the four inner seasons of the menstrual cycle for example, but women rarely arrive with textbook situations. They arrive with burnout, grief, relationship challenges, identity shifts, health confusion, life transitions and very real questions about their bodies and lives.
And many practitioners are realising they want deeper tools, language and frameworks to meet women with more confidence and care.
And so for some, this training becomes an entirely new career path. For others, it is something they weave into the work they’re already doing, adding credibility and cyclical intelligence to existing offerings.
If you have noticed yourself feeling increasingly drawn to this work lately or those conversations about women's health leave you lit up and bursting for more, I’d love to invite you explore our curriculum.
June is a fantastic time to join us, because it gives you time to move through the curriculum before our next live certification round begins in September.
Big love,
