My Story

Welcome, Sweet Love. My name is Caro, founder and facilitator of this feminine healing space. Cycle healer, yoga teacher and women's mentor specializing in all things hormone health, cyclical living, sensual aliveness and feminine embodiment.

I started this feminine healing space because of my own journey with my cycle, sensuality and womanhood. Ever since I was little I was an incredibly sensitive being, full of imagination and creativity, big emotions and the ability to empathize a little too deeply with the world around me (or so I was told). Growing up, I often felt out of place - as if I were different from the people around me. As if I took things too seriously, and I felt things too deeply. As if my dreams and desires were too big for my tiny body to hold. I felt things too deeply and was suffering because of it.

As a teenage girl I developed an eating disorder as a way of coping with my capacity to feel things ever so deeply, exchanging what I now know to be my superpower for not having to feel at all. With it I lost my spark, my creativity, my aliveness and ability to be in my body. Another thing I lost was my menstrual cycle, which only returned 4 years later - towards the end of my recovery. The return of my blood was the first time I did not take my womanhood for granted.

With the return of my cycle returned the ebbs and flows of my emotions, inviting me to start learning how to hold them. It came with the invitation to start learning how to be in my body without escaping - a journey that would continue for years and years to come. Unaware of how it would pause my natural cycle, I started birth control but went off it pretty soon. It took me a little over a year to learn how, without my natural cycle and the ebbs and flows of womanhood, life has become pretty grey. Once I stopped taking birth control, it was as if a cloud had been lifted - and color returned to my skin.

I became more and more fascinated by and in tune with the cyclical nature of my body - and with the return of my natural cycle, my creativity, aliveness and sensuality began to blossom once again. It was only years later I would discover what it was like to live with a cycle that was painful and communicating all the things that weren't working in my life.

At the age of 25 I went on the copper coil as an alternative to the birth control pill, which affected my cycle tremendously. It was a time in my life when I was under a lot of stress, and slowly but surely my cycle started to change for the worse. My body started communicating very loudly, and it felt like everything traumatic that had ever happened to me was now reflected back to me through my cycle and symptoms. I developed PMDD, breast pain, terrible acne, long and painful cycles and was diagnosed with PCOS.

Even though the doctors told me my copper coil was innocent in all of this, my womb was screaming for it to be removed - and so I did. Since I was in a committed relationship at the time, I went looking for alternative (or rather natural) forms of birth control; leading me to learning the language of my body, also known as "the fertility awareness method". I started reading as much as I could, determined to learn everything I could about tracking my cycle. I bought a bunch of books and - being the nerd that I am - became so much more fascinated by this monthly process than I ever thought I would. Not only did I become fluent in the language of my cycle, I discovered there was so much more to all of this than simply preventing pregnancy.

Throughout the years I discovered more and more about the many different layers of cyclical and sensual living. I fell in love with womanhood in a way I had never experienced before, and began developing a relationship with my body that I never thought was possible. Even though I was told over and over birth control was the only way for me to heal my hormones and navigate my fertility, I reached a point in my journey when my cycle did not just return to "normal", it became my compass, my muse, my way of being in deeper intimacy with myself and all of life. Through learning the many different layers of this work and how they are all related, I had healed my cycle and all of my symptoms.

I became so very passionate (and even more curious) about this work and way of living that I decided to educate myself even further, exploring different courses and coaching programs that would allow me to supported other women in this way. To not only help women balance their hormones but to fall in love with being cyclical; to experience their cycle as a mirror, an invitation, a doorway deeper into themselves. A process that gifts us with clarity, aliveness, creativity, sensuality, renewal and so much more.

Over time I have come to explore so many different parts of this bodily process; from blood sugar to female pleasure to inflammation to inner seasons to nervous system and more - and I believe this to be the essence and very root of my approach: to honor the interconnectedness of all of these parts. To learn, over and over, how our menstrual cycle is a crossroads where all of these different layers intersect. A mirror for our truth and aliveness, health and vitality, and the way we relate to ourselves the world around us.

Sweet love, if there is anything you take away from my story, let it be that your cycle is a gift to be treasured rather than a curse to be endured. With the right support and guidance, I believe this to be possible for all women - which is exactly why I founded this space; because if it possible for me, it is possible for you too. And you deserve to fall so madly in love with being a woman.

With love,

Caro
