Teens & Preteens
During puberty and the teenage years, a girl goes from a completely anovulatory state to a state of regular ovulation and periods—a challenging transition. And her periods reflect that transition by being a little all over the place. In the first five to seven years after a girl’s initial period, as her reproductive system adjusts to its new role, she will likely experience occasional anovulatory cycles, slower follicle development, and a smaller dominant follicle than adult women. During this early stage of you or your child's menstrual life cycle, many things can be confusing and intimidating but this is the perfect time to get started by working with one of our coaches to get help navigating this exciting time!
Specialty
PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE
As perimenopause gets underway, women tend to experience earlier ovulation and shorter menstrual cycles, along with increased anovulatory cycles and decreased progesterone, which leads to heavy periods, or flooding. As menopause gets closer, things begin to shift. Estrogen starts to drop, along with progesterone, which leads to longer and longer menstrual cycles and fewer periods each year. If you're in or approaching perimenopause or menopause and want to understand what's going on with your body, work with one of our incredible coaches who specialize in this stage of your menstrual lifecycle.

Endometriosis & Adenomyosis
Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease in which tissue that is similar to the kind that lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. No matter where it is in the body, this issue builds up and attempts to shed with each menstrual cycle, often causing excruciating pain and other symptoms. Adenomyosis is a condition in which tissue similar to that of the uterine lining grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing the uterine walls to thicken and become enlarged. Similar to endometriosis, adenomyosis causes the affected tissue to thicken and shed in accordance with hormone fluctuations, which leads to extremely heavy bleeding and cramping. If you have been diagnosed with endometriosis or adenomyosis, work with one of our coaches below to help with hormonal imblance and mitigating symptoms.
Specialty
PCOS
PCOS affects over 100 hundred million women worldwide, making it the most common endocrine-metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age and the leading cause of ovulatory infertility. This inflammatory endocrine disorder prevents the ovarian follicles from reaching the ovulation stage, causing significant delays in ovulation (or even preventing it), which then causes irregular or nonexistent periods. If you have been diagnosed with PCOS and are looking for solutions, work with one of our coaches below!
Specialty
PMS & PMDD
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), or Premenstrual Tension (PMT) refers to a collection of physical and psychological symptoms that arise in a cyclical pattern, and coincide with the second half of the menstrual cycle (the luteal phase). The symptoms often show up around 2 to 10 days before your period begins, and usually resolve when menstruation starts. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), is considered a severe mood disorder and is characterized by significant emotional and physical symptoms that occur in the luteal phase. PMS and PMDD symptoms can range in severity because they are highly influenced by nutrient deficiencies, excess physiological stress, genetic factors, gut health issues, and blood sugar abnormalities that drive estrogen to become dominant over progesterone. This is also why there is such an assortment of PMS and PMDD symptoms. If you are experiencing symptoms of PMS or PMDD our coaches below are ready to help you!

Fibroids
Fibroids are common, non-cancerous growths that can develop in or around the uterus. Many people have fibroids without ever knowing it, while others may notice changes in their menstrual cycle or experience symptoms that affect day-to-day life. Fibroids are influenced by hormones and inflammation, and their impact can vary widely depending on factors like size, location, and overall hormonal balance. For some, fibroids may be associated with heavier or more uncomfortable periods, pelvic pressure, or reproductive challenges but experiences differ greatly from person to person. If you have been diagnosed with fibroids, or are navigating symptoms that haven’t yet been explained, working with one of our coaches below can help support hormonal balance and overall menstrual health!
