Menstrual Cycle Awareness & Cyclical Living
Menstrual Cycle Awareness is an empowering practice that helps you reconnect with the natural rhythm of your body and live in alignment with your inner seasons.
At The Ruth Smith Place, I offer a supportive space to explore your cycle not as a problem to be solved, but as a source of wisdom, creativity, and grounding. Whether you're navigating PMS, painful periods, perimenopause, or simply curious about your cycle’s deeper meaning, this work invites you to listen inward and live with intention.
Our work may include education, journaling practices, seasonal mapping, ritual, and reflective conversation—always held with care, confidentiality, and deep respect.
Whether you're just starting your journey with cycle awareness, reconnecting after years of disconnect, or preparing for transitions like perimenopause, this work honours where you are.
With The Ruth Smith Place, Menstrual Cycle Awareness becomes a path to power, softness, and self-knowing—one that supports your entire life, not just your body.
