Your period is your COMPASS

Not your SHACKLE

Do these sound familiar?

✦ Have your cycles been erratic ever since you’ve gone off birth control?

✦ Does your period “go missing” and you’re never really sure when it’ll come back?

✦ Struggling to find what could be causing the cystic acne along your jaw or cheeks? 

✦ Tried anything and everything from detox teas to a daily handful of supplements and nothing seems to help?

✦ You feel like you want to balance your hormones naturally but don't know how or where to start?

If one or more of the statements above sounds familiar, I want you to know that I understand where you’re coming from. Many of these I struggled with myself.

In fact, many of us struggle with menstrual cycle issues because we weren’t given the knowledge of how to best care for our body. Our society is structured around a 24 hour cycle, while we have a monthly cycle. 

Which means that we are left to figure out what can disrupt our cycles on our own. But that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.

My philosophy is that our period is our compass, not our shackle. That we can heal our cycles naturally through how we live our daily lives. What we eat on a regular basis, how often and how we move our body, and what we get exposed to all have a huge impact on our cycle health. 

Having body literacy is key to healing our cycles naturally along with some additional support from herbs. This is how I healed my cycle and how I help others do the same. 

Let me introduce myself first

Hi, my name is Denise!

My cycle issues began when I went on birth control in my early 20s. Like many, I wasn’t taught about birth control or hormonal health in general. So when it was time to choose a type, I just focused on the ones with the highest efficacy.

Those being the Depo shot and then later on the Nexplanon implant. Shortly after getting on birth control, I started gaining weight and experiencing pretty severe cystic acne. It took me 4 years to realize that these were common side effects of birth control!

After that realization and getting off birth control, I thought that it would start to get better. But man was I wrong! No matter what products or treatments I tried, my cystic acne wouldn’t go away. And no matter how much I worked out or tried different diets, I was still left feeling bloated and lethargic. My periods were erratic and I struggled with PMS for half my cycle.

Sound familiar?

My own goal of healing my hormones naturally was how I stumbled upon herbalism and plant medicine. I became fascinated with how versatile and potent plants can be. Especially when it comes to supporting the body as a whole. From digestion, sleep, immune to everything in between. Which all need to be addressed for our hormonal health. Which is why I became a clinical herbalist.

Along the way I learned about nutrition and how amazing your body is at healing itself given the right resources. Little by little I started to feel like myself again. I had the energy to be more active, I felt less bloated and my cystic acne that had overtaken my thoughts on a daily basis had finally started to go away.

That’s why I know you can heal your cycle naturally and why I’m so passionate about sharing this knowledge with others!

What would your life be like if:

✦ You had the energy to have a consistent workout routine. Being able to work on mobility and endurance. Which is so important for our bone and joint health!

✦ You knew how to track and understand your cycle:

  • Knowing for certain when your next bleed will be

    • If it will be late and why (hint: many things can delay ovulation leading to late periods)

  • You could see firsthand when you’re starting to get an imbalance, so you can course correct sooner rather than later

✦ You’re able to rest during your periods. Not because of any pain, but because you’re supporting what your body needs.

✦ You knew more about your body as a whole and how to best support it. Learning about anatomy, breast health, hormone disruptors, menstrual products, and so much more!

Imagine what it could be like to not be in the dark about your own body

Here’s what past clients have said

  • PCOS management

    After 8 weeks, I am feeling less bloated, more energetic, and almost completely pain free despite medical conditions that affect my hormones (PCOS). Denise is a great coach who helped me stay on track and work towards the goals I've had set for myself.

    Catherine Dougherty

  • Painful periods

    My skin is better, I’m sleeping better, my anxiety is still present but it’s much better than it was. My periods are lighter and not as heavy and painful. And I now have a much more varied diet. For her help/advice, I will forever be grateful. THANK YOU

    Georgia Hussey

  • Prolonged bleeds

    I had been bleeding for over 2yrs straight before coming across the Hormone Balancing Program. If you told me 3 months ago my prolonged bleeding would be over with and I’d be back to a normal cycle, ovulating ON MY OWN, and stressing way less I’d think you were lying. I can’t even begin to explain how great it feels to feel normal again. Within my time with Denise my cortisol levels, progesterone levels, estrogen levels, androgen levels, and thyroid levels all improved! I cannot recommend this program enough.

    Jordan Zabrocki

  • Spotting

    I was desperate for my periods to go back to normal. I suffered a miscarriage which ended up affecting me for months. It caused 2-3 week long periods. Thanks to Denises' expertise, she helped me implement healthier habits into my lifestyle. Most importantly, my period is now back to normal! Thank you Denise!!

    Jade Johnson

  • Heavy bleeding and painful periods

    Denise has helped me in ways I did not think were for me. I was in a dark place in which I was experiencing a lot of physical pain aside from the normal psycho-emotional stuff. Denise helped me find a sort of bodily balance that neutralized the physical pain. Thankfully the program also tackled my psyche and helped me find a way to relax with her tonic which I have honestly never felt. So many new things were introduced and I feel almost childlike again in the sense that I feel some sort of peace. I learned so much and am so glad I enrolled in the program.

  • Transitioning off birth control

    After I turned 40, my period started coming all the time. Doctors were no help to me; their only advice was to go on birth control. After being on birth control, I started getting awful migraines lasting for days. I met Denise, and she changed my life. She helped me transition off the pill using herbs, diet, and other lifestyle changes. My migraines went away, and my overall health improved. Thank you, Denise, for your knowledge, kindness, and compassion.

I know what you can be feeling…

  • Unsure because you’ve already tried so many different things.

  • You don’t know what plant medicine is or if it’ll even work.

  • Maybe you’re starting to think that you’ll never get better.

But I’m here to tell you that you can’t give up!

I know firsthand how defeating it can be to feel like your body has turned against you. But it hasn’t! Your body has its own unique ways of communicating with you.

You just have to learn its language

So let me tell you a little bit more about what I do

I’m a clinical herbalist that focuses on menstrual cycle health. I work with plant medicine to bring balance to the body holistically. I do this by supporting the body using herbal supplements, nutrition, and lifestyle changes.

My philosophy is that your period is your compass, not your shackle

Understanding our bodies language is how we are able to truly support our health. This takes an individual approach, looking about what kinds of foods, supplements, herbs will best support you in your unique body and unique situation. That’s what holistic, natural healing is all about.

To find real balance you need to see the body as it really is, interconnected

Refund policy and other questions

What if it’s not a good fit?:

If working together isn’t a good fit, no hard feelings! You get a refund for the sessions that we haven’t already covered no questions asked. All I ask is for some feedback.

Hesitant about using herbs?:

Working with herbs can be overwhelming and a little intimidating. That’s why I ended up becoming a herbalist myself to figure out just how to best take them. So if you’re a little hesitant that’s perfectly normal.

Once I formulate the herbal blend we will walk through it together and I’ll go over each one and what it will be doing. Then once you get it we will start with a small dose to make sure it’s not going to cause any reactions or upset tummies.

If you’re new to herbs then I would suggest checking out this video on plant medicine (coming soon).

Still not sure? Here’s what I would recommend:

Take a day to think about it. If you have questions or aren’t sure how this can help you specifically schedule a meet and greet here. That way we can chat about it with no obligations.
