It took me 17 years of battling an undiagnosed and misdiagnosed hormonal mood disorder (PMDD) to find relief from my symptoms like mood swings, fatigue, paranoia, & rage.
My story is probably just like yours.
I was deep in self-sabotage mode for 2 weeks out of every month, and despite trying to find answers through allopathic medicine, I would leave each doctor appointment feeling more hopeless than the last.
I had to find answers nearly loosing my life to severe PMDD symptoms and feeling like a victim in my own body for as long as I could remember.
I realized I had no idea how my body actually worked, so I took finding relief from symptoms into my own hands. I made the decision to no longer spend every month curled up in bed with my heating pad beside me.
Not only were my symptoms leaving me stuck in bed, they were affecting every area of my life.
I’d scare away any and every support system I had and pretend it’s what I wanted. I had intense urges like…breaking up with my partners, getting back together with past lovers, quitting my job, and feeling like I needed to run away to another country to escape.
All because I had no clue how to find symptom relief.
Now I help others find PMDD relief without the confusion and overwhelm I went through for 17 years.
I developed, honed, and mastered a carousel of skills and tools to navigate my way towards hormone harmony and away from monthly debilitating “hell weeks”.
I can’t wait to help you change your relationship with your body so you can get your life back.

It shouldn’t be an act of feminism to know how your body works. It shouldnt be an act of feminism to ask for help when you’re suffering

I say it a lot, and i’ll say it again. Period symptoms, while common, are NOT NORMAL. If you’re period is a problem this is your body sounding the alarm that something is amiss and requires attention + action by you.
