Sync Your Self-Care

Cycle Syncing is a practice of aligning a mama's self-care - nutrition, exercise, lifestyle - with the different phases of her menstrual cycle each month. This approach can help to maximize her energy, balance her hormones natually, and regain power over her entire well-being.

Mama -
You're not failing at caring for yourself because you aren't strong enough; you're failing because you aren't aligning your
self-care like a woman!

Maintaining a self-care routine is difficult - it requires you to put yourself first, everyday. But what about those days when everyone else is taking from you, and you fail to show up for yourself? Often, one day leads to two days... and then a week... and then a month.

When you Sync Your Self-Care to your cycle, each day is a fresh start. Each day is a new opportunity to fill your cup the way your mind, body, + energy needs based on which day of your cycle you're on.

No longer will you "fall off the wagon" because the wagon is a beautiful, predictable cycle - every single month!

Moon Cycle Flow

Have you ever realized that the feminine cycle + the moon cycle align almost perfectly each month? Not only do we both flow in an average of 28 days, the energy of each phase of our cycles shifts and allows us to deepen our own awareness of the natural energy we experience each month. By structuring your self-care routine around the flow of your cycle, you will find it easier to show up + follow through because you're matching the energy appropriately.

Here's a quick breakdown:

Each phase of our cycle has specific
self-care that can elevate our experience, allowing us to shine our authentic light!

Self-Care For Each Phase

Using the energy of each phase (mostly based on the hormones that are currently flowing), you can set up your self-care routine to optimize your holistic wellness.

Self-Care is an individual process - what works for my self-care will not work for your self-care.

When we work together to Sync Your Self-Care, we will customize your activities to fit into your life so they nourish you and are achievable to maintain.

Here's an example of how you can adjust your self-care based on where you are in your cycle:

Days 1-6

New Moon - Menstruation

Physical - gentle stretching, 30 minute walk, fasting 13-72 hours, warmer ketobiotic foods

Full Moon - Ovulation

Days 7-12

Waxing Moon - Follicular
