Helping women in their 30s take charge of their hormones. Because you run your life, not your period. Join my 90-Day Period Makeover Solution now!

If the only thing helping your period cramps is ibuprofen or a heating pad…
that’s relief — not resolution.

And while short-term tools matter (we’ve all been there)
they don’t explain why your body is in pain every month.

Here’s what most women aren’t told:
cramps are closely tied to inflammation — and inflammation is often driven by mineral depletion, under-fueling, and chronic stress.

When we focus on:
• replenishing minerals
• eating enough to support blood sugar
• reducing inflammatory stress
• understanding your unique cycle patterns

periods often become less intense, more predictable, and sometimes barely noticeable.

That’s not wishful thinking — it’s physiology.

If you’re wondering whether your level of pain is something your body is asking for help with…

👉 Take the Period Report Card Quiz

It’ll help you understand what your cramps may be signaling
and what support could actually make a difference long-term.

You deserve a period that doesn’t run your life.

Your period is one of the clearest feedback systems your body has — especially when you pay attention to how often it shows up.

If your cycles are shorter than expected, longer than expected, or unpredictable month to month, it’s not your body being “difficult.”

It’s your body communicating.

Most women I work with are already doing a lot to support their health.
What they’re missing isn’t effort — it’s context.

Cycle length is influenced by things like:
• mineral status
• nourishment and metabolism
• stress and recovery
• postpartum or birth control history

When those foundations are supported, cycles often become more regular, ovulation more predictable, and hormones easier to work with instead of against.

If you’ve ever wondered,
“Is this normal… or is my body asking for something?”

👉 Take the Period Report Card Quiz

It’ll help you connect the dots between your cycle patterns and what your hormones may need to feel more supported.

Your cycle isn’t the problem — it’s the messenger.

If your period shows up every month with cramps, heavy bleeding, or PMS that feels impossible to ignore, this matters.

Most of the women I work with aren’t doing anything “wrong.”
They’re already trying to eat better, take supplements, and stay consistent.

What they don’t realize is that years on birth control, pregnancy, and chronic stress can quietly drain the minerals your hormones depend on — and your period is often one of the first places that imbalance shows up.

That’s why managing symptoms alone rarely works.

When we understand what your body is missing and support it properly, periods don’t have to feel like a monthly battle.

* calmer PMS
* lighter, more manageable flow
* fewer cramps
* more energy across your cycle

If you’re ready to understand your cycle instead of guessing:

It’ll help you connect the dots between your symptoms and what your body actually needs.

You deserve a period that fits into your life — not one that runs it.

Your period isn’t just a nuisance to manage.
It’s a monthly report card from your body—and when your hormones are supported, your cycle can actually feel good.

Imagine this:
-Predictable periods
-Calm, confident PMS weeks
-Energy that stays steady from ovulation to your flow

This is the kind of balance I help my clients achieve in the Period Makeover Solution—with personalized hormone + mineral testing and a plan tailored to your body.

If you’ve been chasing symptom relief with one-size-fits-all advice, it’s time for something different.

💌 DM me PERIOD and I’ll share how we can work together to restore balance💜

If your current plan for “hormone balance” includes cutting carbs, pushing through burnout workouts, or staying on the pill…
…it’s time for a better approach.

Your body doesn’t want to be micromanaged or punished into balance. It wants to be supported.

Inside the Period Makeover Solution, I’ll help you:
🩸 Understand your personal hormone + mineral patterns
🩸 Heal the root of your PMS, heavy periods, or cramps
🩸 Feel GOOD in your body again—without extreme fixes

💌 DM me PERIOD if you’re ready for a plan that actually works with your body—not against it.

Come sit with me for a minute.
Take a breath.
You don’t have to be strong right now.

What you’ve been carrying each month…
it’s a lot.

More than anyone sees.
More than you ever say out loud.

And you’ve done your best to keep moving,
even when your body makes everything feel heavier than it should.

It’s not just the symptoms
it’s the silence around them.

The planning.
The bracing.
The guilt.

The “I hope this won’t be one of the hard weeks.”

The way you hold your breath waiting to see
which version of you your cycle will bring.

You’re not broken for struggling.
You’re human.

And you deserve a month that feels steadier, softer, kinder.
One where your body isn’t working against you,
and you don’t have to rearrange your life to survive your symptoms.

If you saw yourself in these slides,
it’s not a sign something’s wrong with you
it’s a sign your body is ready for support.

DM me “PERIOD” and I’ll show you what that can look like.

You know that week where everything feels harder?

Where you’re hungrier, more irritable, and suddenly wondering why your favorite jeans feel tight?

That’s not “just PMS.”

That’s your luteal phase, the part of your cycle no one really teaches you about, but every woman deserves to understand 👀

Because here’s the truth:

🧠 Your brain chemistry is shifting.
🧬 Your hormones are preparing for pregnancy.
🛑 And your nervous system is working overtime to keep up with it all.

It’s not all in your head.
It’s not just stress.

And you’re not too sensitive for feeling like things hit different right before your period 🫶

When you finally connect the dots between your cycle and your symptoms, it changes everything.

💜 You stop blaming yourself.
💜 You start giving your body grace.
💜 You start to understand what’s a normal luteal phase symptom, and what’s a bit outside the norm that needs some extra attention.

Most of us learned our period was something to hide, dread, or just deal with 🫠

No one explained that our menstrual cycle is actually an ongoing conversation between our brain and our body.

And when we don’t understand what our hormones are doing, we’re left guessing:
➡️ Why am I so tired this week?
➡️ Why do I feel so social one week… and then never want to leave the house the next week?
➡️ Why can’t I just be consistent?

Here’s the thing: you ARE consistent.

Your body just runs on a rhythm no one taught you to recognize 🔄

That rhythm holds the key to everything from your mood, to your energy, to your mental load as a mom.

When you know what’s happening in each phase, everything starts to click:

💡 The week you feel magnetic? That’s not random.
💡 The week you need more rest? You’re not being lazy.
💡 That emotional wave right before your period? It has a name—and a cause.

Your cycle isn’t the problem. The problem is no one ever handed you the manual.

But that ends here.

This is your starting line for deeper self-awareness, hormone balance, and feeling grounded in your body again.

🩸 Save this post for when you need a reminder that your body knows exactly what it’s doing.

And stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll talk about what’s normal (and not) in the second half of your cycle.

I went on birth control at 17 because my periods were “irregular” and I had acne.

I trusted that it would fix my symptoms… but all it really did was hit pause.

Fast forward to my mid-20s, and I decided to go off.

I was having breakthrough bleeding, migraines that kept me in bed, and anxiety that never seemed to lift.

But instead of feeling better, I lost my period for 9 months.

My body felt disconnected and off-balance.

But that was my turning point.

I learned how my brain and ovaries are supposed to communicate.

I learned how to nourish my hormones instead of shutting them off.

I learned how birth control didn’t fix my symptoms—it just temporarily silenced them.

And when I finally supported my body the right way...everything changed.

💜 Migraines gone
💜 Regular cycles
💜 Balanced moods
💜 No more “mystery” symptoms

I’ll never go back to birth control.

And now I’m here, on a mission, to help other women take back control of their hormones & cycles, too.

I’ve got a few spots open for 1:1 coaching.

DM me READY if you want real answers—not bandaids.

Healthy holidays aren’t about perfection—they’re about intentionality.

In this week’s episode of Hormone Health Class, I’m breaking down the 5 simple guidelines that help you enjoy the holidays WITHOUT:
❌ starting over in January
❌ feeling guilty for eating your favorite foods
❌ giving up all your routines
❌ feeling bloated, exhausted, or “off”

Here’s a quick sneak peak:
1️⃣ Get honest about your calendar
2️⃣ Anchor your day with a balanced breakfast
3️⃣ Enjoy the special foods — guilt-free
4️⃣ Hydrate before/after big meals
5️⃣ Move your body in simple, doable ways

And remember — what you do today impacts your cycle 90–100 days from now. Future-you will be so grateful you stayed grounded this season.

Ever been told your hormones are “normal”...
…but you still feel exhausted, moody, anxious, and not like yourself? All the while dealing with painful cramps, heavy bleeding, & PMS symptoms month after month.

Same.

That’s why I stopped guessing and started running DUTCH hormone tests—for myself and now for all my clients.

The DUTCH test doesn’t just tell you how much hormone you have...
…it tells you how your body is using, metabolizing, and detoxing those hormones—critical details your doctor likely isn’t testing for.

And best of all? It’s done at home, no needles required 🙌

If you’ve ever wondered:
❓ Why do I feel like I’m in hormone chaos but labs say I’m fine?
❓ How do I know if my estrogen is high, or if I’m not detoxing it properly?
❓ What’s the difference between low progesterone and poor cortisol patterns?

This is the test that answers it all.

Start where I recommend every mama starts:
DM me GUIDE and I’ll send you my Minerals for Mamas Guide—your foundational step toward real hormonal balance.

Tired, moody, bloated… but your labs say you’re “fine”?

Girl, I was the same. And that’s exactly why I started using HTMA testing in my practice.

Most women I work with are eating clean, taking supplements, and doing “everything right”—but still feel off. The missing piece? MINERALS.

HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) shows what your blood work can’t:
→ How well your body’s actually using nutrients
→ What your stress response is doing to your hormones
→ Why your metabolism might be crawling

If you’re burnt out, constantly craving carbs or salt, and wondering why your cycle symptoms never fully go away—HTMA is the test I run first.

If you want to dive deeper into minerals, DM me GUIDE and I’ll send you my free breakdown. It’s packed with info I wish every mama knew.
