I get a lot of emails in my inbox with questions from women around all things menstrual cycle and living from your Inner Woman. And PMS is a topic that frequently pops up, both in my inbox and private sessions. One of those emails was from ‘T’, a woman I met when I lived in Thailand years ago.
She wrote: I feel betrayed by my cycle
Self Breast Massage is amazing. Your breasts are energy centers, chakras of your feminine body, of feelings, emotions, love, orgasmic energy, and deep nourishment. Because breasts are such key energy centers of the female body, breast massage is an important women’s vitality practice for your physical and emotional well-being. Continue Reading
For most women perimenopause & menopause is not something you prepare for, it is something that happens. A season of life that comes to claim you.
If we lived in a world where women’s wisdom was intact, and we lived in harmony with our bodies and the earth, we would enter perimenopause & menopause with all the inner wisdom that is acquired when we’ve lived for decades in a relationship with the cyclic wisdom within our womanly bodies.

Last night ‘D’ popped into my inbox with a Q: Does Yoni Steaming help post menopausal women, and if so, how? I was just about to simply email my answer to ‘D’, but then I remembered that I’ve received this question many times now. So for all the women wondering if Yoni Steaming can do anything for you on the other side of menopause, the answer is yes! Here are the benefits.
My hands arrive on my body. Warm hands resting on my soft belly. We meet each other, my feminine body and me. Her untamed breath rising and widening to greet me. And my inner eyes, blinking open in the dark, as we fall into each other.
Today I want to share with you one of the practices I use to sustain my connection to my Inner Woman™ on the daily. My yoga mat has been my pilgrimage place since my early teens. Although my yoga practice and teaching has evolved and transformed, it has always been my place for coming home to myself. Continue Reading
PMS, painful cramps, sore breasts, mood swings arrive as a reminder that something is out of balance physically, emotionally, or energetically. They are messages calling you home.
Recently during the full moon I received this question: “Every full moon I become very, very… well… sensitive, and on the point of a super low. I’ve read you mention a few times the part of being extra sweet and kind to yourself during these days but somehow I manage to go the wrong way every time. What can I do?” Continue Reading

I gently pour a droplet of oil into my palm, and let my hand guide the oil into my body, slowly discovering the landscape of my feminine body on this day, in this moment. Discovering the Inner Woman™ that is alive in me today, and the stories my body is whispering.
I use self-massage a lot – it awakens my sensual instincts, nourishes my body and is one of the easiest ways I know for getting in touch with my Inner Woman™ and shifting any stagnant emotions in my body. Self-massage creates the space I need for being with everything that is our world today. And for staying connected to my Inner Woman™ in both the brightest and darkest moments.
A Yoni Steam, also known as vaginal steam, is the ancient practice of sitting or squatting over steaming pot of water infused with herbs. It’s a powerful ally for women’s vitality in nourishing the uterus, regulating irregular cycles, reducing menstrual pain + imbalances and supporting fertility and reproductive health. It also supports spiritual and emotional cleansing and healing by reconnecting a woman with her feminine center. Continue Reading
I think of my menstrual cycle as my muse. I was always really fascinated with periods, but before I started working deeply with my cycle I had a kind of neutral relationship to it. That was until my menstrual cycle changed my life. Continue Reading
The Inner Woman Mini-Retreat is a virtual gathering for like-hearted women and a dedicated space to awaken your Inner Woman. It’s the kind of sacred space we all need to retreat to from time to time, where we arrive fully in our feminine bodies. Connect with our inner world and deepest truth, so we can source our lives from our inner wisdom and build a bridge from our soulful Inner Woman to everyday life. Continue Reading
My daily habits and rhythms are the pillars for awakening my Inner Woman™ and living life from the inside-out. After all life is build by all these daily doings. And habits shape who we are and how we live. These five daily habits are a mix of inner beliefs and daily practices that nourish and fertilize a strong connection with my Inner Woman through the many flavors of life.
On Valentines day of 2015, I was in a major solo-car-crash with my husband in the drivers seat. Although I had ‘seen’ it coming in the month prior to it happening and knew exactly where it would take place, nothing fully prepared me for the scariest, moment of my life. It’s an experience that left me with a very long healing journey ahead, but also heightened my respect for what my work with my womanly body, cycle, and Inner Woman™ can truly hold me through.

In the dark hour, I always come back to tending to my feminine body. That is my pilgrimage place of returning home. Home to my Inner Woman™. Home to that which is timeless. Home to the knowing that I am already home, already whole.
As you may know, I’ve been tinkering away at this website for quite a while (with amazing help from my husband!). It’s been a slow, deliberate and intention-filled labor of love, discomfort and determination. There were many voices trying to make it go faster at times, including my own – but I knew I had to provide the sacred time needed to inhabit the parts of my Inner Woman™ that was holding the vision for my work.
But today, I’m so happy to finally welcome you to what for me is so much more than a website, because to me it’s the opening of a virtual temple for women. A space created with you in heart.
I created this website as a virtual home dedicated to supporting women to awaken their unique Inner Woman™ inside. As a community for women longing to live life feeling free, whole and at home in their feminine bodies.
This is my personal practice and I know both from teaching and living it that it transforms women when they rediscover their inner resources and tools for being the woman they want to be.
And before you go, I have a gift for you!
No celebration without gifts in my world. And as a token to my passion for feminine nourishment, I’ve put together a free Virtual Inner Woman Mini-Retreat to share with you on Jan 21st – 2015. It will be gentle and nourishing at-home mini-retreat for you to connect with your feminine body and connect with your Inner Woman™ to plant some potent seeds on the first new moon of 2015.
This is an online event, I’ll bring the Inner Woman Temple to you! All you need is a computer or phone with internet access, a yoga mat and a notebook + pen. There will also be a recording for you to listen to in your own time.
Now I’d love if you’d celebrate my new website with me by leaving me a comment down below and share with me what you’d love to read, learn or be inspired by here? What is your Inner Woman™ craving?
