Menstrual cycle coach
Angharad james
Have you been feeling disconnected from your body, pushing through life or just not feeling like yourself? Imagine if you could get to know yourself on a deeper level, connect with your body’s true desires and feel more ease, pleasure and joy in your life? Cycle Seasons is a 6-week online course that will strengthen your understanding of your menstrual cycle and allow you to build a nurturing relationship with yourself.
You’ll master the art of Menstrual Cycle Awareness by learning how to chart your cycle, meet the four phases of your cycle and understand their purpose using the seasons as a guide. You’ll explore the joys and learn to navigate the shadows of each season and feel empowered to show up in the world as a woman or person who bleeds in all areas of your life. Sounds good, yes? I'm here to show you how it's done.
Learning how to optimise your cycle can light the way to make time for joy, pleasure and creativity in your day to day life. It’s can also serve as your permission slip to truly prioritise rest and replenishment to build up inner strength and reserves to support your health and wellbeing.
Now I want to teach other women and people who bleed the how to use the simple practice of daily charting and learning about the seasons of the cycle to re-connect with their true authentic selves, find sovereignty in their bodies, seek pleasure and cultivate more ease, joy and creativity in their lives.
When you take this course with me, you’ll learn that there’s so much more to your menstrual cycle than just the week of your period. A common misconception is that you have the week when you're bleeding and the rest of the time is pretty much all the same. Well friends, let me tell you a little secret…if you have a natural menstrual cycle then you’ll actually be in one of four phases or ‘seasons’ on any given day of your cycle and each season has its own gifts to unwrap and reveals another piece of the menstrual cycle awareness puzzle.
What I can’t wait to share with you is that it’s possible to put these pieces together in a way to get your menstrual cycle working for you instead of having to push against it and working with your body’s natural rhythm to optimise all areas of your life. This power is already inside of you, so together, let’s begin to unlock it!
I believe that practicing Menstrual Cycle Awareness is an invitation to rebalance the masculine and feminine energies within our bodies and our world to allow us to sustain ourselves as well as our planet at this point in history. It’s a tool to show the society that we live in, which is linear and values productivity, that there is a softer, connection-rich way to live our lives.
*We’ll spend week 1 preparing and setting intentions for the course ahead. Weeks 2-5 will see the seasons content drop at the same time in week 2 so you can start with the season you’re in at that time if you’d like to. Finally in week 6 we’ll be wrapping things up and of course celebrating your course harvests!
It’s been my experience that getting to know the seasons of my menstrual cycle has been a big fat permission slip to get to know myself, hold sovereignty over my body, cultivate self-confidence as well as live with more purpose, ease and joy with integrity and passion.
How many hours per week will I need to engage with the course content?
You'll need approximately 2 hours per week to complete the lessons, practices & rituals, workbook exercises and fill in your cycle chart.
What do I need to access the course content in terms of materials, software & technology?
You'll need an email address to enrol in the course and receive the course materials and a device to listen to the audio lessons. You'll need access to a printer if you want to print a copy of the cycle chart & course workbook. I'll be sharing a list of materials you may choose to use to make your experience of the course practices and rituals extra special!
How is the course delivered?
Lessons will be delivered on Thursdays via email in week 1, week 2 and week 6. Weeks 2-5 of the course cover the four phases/seasons of the menstrual cycle focusing on one season per lesson. These lessons will drop at the same time in week 2 so you can start with the lesson of the season you're in at that time if you'd like. This will give you an opportunity to tune in to where you are in your own cycle and hopefully help to engage with the content of each lesson on a deeper level. E.g. If you've identified you're in your Summer phase then you may decide to work through the Summer phase lesson and content first and move through the rest of the course content in flow with your own cycle.
Can I take this course if I don’t have a natural menstrual cycle? (e.g. taking contraceptive pill, pregnant, breastfeeding, post menopausal or experiencing amenorrhea?)
Yes, of course! I am currently developing my understanding of how I can be more inclusive to others in this work. This course is suitable for anyone who has or has previously had a period and identifies as a woman or gender non-binary. There is a focus on a natural cycle e.g. menstruation and ovulation in this course, this means an experience of a menstrual cycle, whether past or present will help with integrating this work. However, I am able to teach those who do not have a natural cycle an alternative framework to use alongside the seasons to chart their 'cycle', so that they can also feel the benefits of connecting with themselves on a deeper level.
My cycle isn't 28 days long. Does it matter if I have a longer, shorter or irregular cycle?
That's totally ok! As you get to know your cycle better you'll learn that everyone's cycle is different and feel empowered knowing what works best for you and your cycle.
Do you offer a refund if I feel the course is not right for me?
No, there will be no refunds issued. I believe you will follow your instincts and purchase this course intentionally if you feel it's a good fit for you. Feel into it and if it's not a full body 'YES' then it's a no.
Will you be teaching this course on a regular basis?
From Autumn 2023 this will be an evergreen self-study course so you can take this course at any time of year over a period that suits you. There are no plans for any live rounds of this course for the forseable future.
Will you be teaching fertility awareness/contraception methods in this course?
No. This course is not intended to teach or provide information on fertility awareness or natural contraception/contraception.
Can I pay using a different currency to what you're charging in?
Yes, of course. I use PayPal to collect payment which will convert currency automatically!
I have a question about the course, can I contact you directly?
No problem at all, you can contact me by using the contact form on my website.
