Hey there

I'm Isobel...

 

As a former professional dancer I’m deeply passionate about empowering active women, to take charge of their health and fertility naturally. Through Fertility Awareness education and holistic hormone health coaching, I guide women and menstruators on a journey to optimise their well-being and achieve harmony in their vibrant lives.

MY STORY

Since the age of 5, I immersed myself in harnessing the power of my body through increasingly intense dance training. But around the time I was graduating with a degree in Contemporary Dance at LCDS  I felt overcome with a sense of profound disembodiment and disempowerment, despite my physical fitness and high achievement.

Reliant on hormonal birth control since 16, I initially felt empowered but soon experienced bouts of intense anxiety, depression, pelvic pain, and ultimately despair over what felt like extremely limited options for women. Realising the source of my pain was a disconnection from my body because of my cycle suppression, I took the scary step in liberating myself from hormonal birth control.

Navigating uncertainty, I discovered the Fertility Awareness Method, which empowered me to manage contraception while honouring my health. I’m now proud to say I’ve been navigating natural contraception successfully throughout my entire 20s! 

My hormones were out of whack though, which manifested as severe PMS every cycle – sending me into spirals of depression that would floor me for days and sometimes weeks. I stopped pursuing a PMDD diagnosis when I found support which took into consideration my entire self – I felt I didn’t require the label in order to manage this challenge.

Training with Womben Wellness, Red School, acquiring a Bodywork Diploma and Yoga Nidra teacher qualification, and delving into nutrition and holistic hormonal balance, I uncovered the intricate links between the nervous system, mind-body connection, lifestyle factors and optimal hormone health. I healed my own cycle; regular, balanced and no more suffering!

I started working with women and groups of dancers exploring the cycle as a creative and spiritual path and this work inspired me to gain further training in order to help people avoid pregnancy or conceive naturally and monitor their health and fertility to make tangible positive shifts in their experience of their cycles. The Fertility Awareness educational piece has always been the thing that I saw create most lasting change in these women’s lives. So I got certified as an educator in 2020 by the NFPTA and am currently being mentored by  Lisa Hendrickson Jack.

I specialise in Fertility Awareness and menstrual cycle issues because I have experienced first hand, through my own journey and the inspiring stories of my clients, how the menstrual cycle is key to our ability to thrive and relate to our bodies way beyond just managing, coping, controlling and merely surviving. My journey fuels my passion to empower women who live and work and play through, because of and sometimes in spite of their bodies – to reclaim their health and cycles, guiding them toward holistic well-being and self-awareness. 

Because a world where we bleed with harmony, ease and self ownership, is a better world for us all. 

Why work with me?

01

my training and experience

I am a fully qualified NFPTA fertility awareness instructor, FAMM™ Certified Practitioner in training and Sarovara Yoga Transformational Sleep Yoga Nidra facilitator, making me perfectly placed to help you reach your goal of managing your fertility from a heart centred place. I have helped women who have similar experiences to my own, and those who are dealing with challenges completely unfamiliar to mine – I never imagine that what worked for me will work for you. Instead, I delve deep into your experience and together we uncover the best methods and strategies for you.

02

my honesty

I’m right there in the weeds with you – the very method and strategies I teach, I have been in practice with since 2019. I can’t imagine my life without my deep connection to my cycle – because of and in spite of the fact that my cycle has not always been easy. All the experience I have in these methods is real life, and so I can support you to overcome challenges quickly.

03

my commitment

I am completely obsessed with finding out all the latest and new information about FAM, menstrual cycle health and fertility. I read scientific journals and studies, I go deep into the spirituality and feminist philosophy around the menstrual cycle, and I am constantly learning so that I can best help you have the empowered, joyful or even neutral experience of your cycle that you deserve. I live and breathe cycle awareness, because this is my calling.

04

my belief

I deeply believe that by tuning into listen to your menstrual cycle, you are doing your part in providing a healing balm for the effects of our patriarchal world. If you are suffering right now, and find it hard to believe that your period could be the source of your power, I hear you, and I want you to know – your symptoms are meaningful. We are all suffering from the effects of a culture of menstrual denial and shame, and denial of our nature – but the fact that you are experiencing this so viscerally through the manifestation of period pain, endometriosis, PCOS, HA, irregular cycles and/or PMS or PMDD, and you are here looking for answers, means that you are uniquely placed to heal not only yourself, but the earth herself. And if that seems like too grand a responsibility, don’t worry – you also just get to learn an effective method of birth control that you can use to enjoy intimacy with your partner on a whole new level – for life!

I am the earth and the earth heals through me.
