Your are not alone in this
Change can be scary & breaking (generational) patterns can have you second guessing your journey. Here are 4 common challenges that we, as menstruating women(x), often come up against, and why staying stuck here is not an option.
-
Choosing to reconnect to a part of yourself that has been shamed and denied for centuries can feel radical AF. Heck, most people don’t even say the word “period” out loud and here you are ready to reclaim your cycle (go YOU!).
This program will help you to break outdated stories, create coherence and embody an unshakable confidence when it comes to connecting to, and talking about, your menstrual cycle.
-
Part of Cyclical Living will require you to slow waaaay down. I get it- you’ve been conditioned to link your worth to being busy and taught that if you slow down, relax or prioritise rest; you’re lazy and unproductive.
But here’s the thing - the majority of menstrual challenges and symptoms (painful periods, heavy or missing bleeds, insomnia, bloating, unpredictable mood swings…) are linked to living against your cyclical nature.
How much longer do you want to live like this?
Blood Magic will teach you how to live in alignment with your cycle, so you know when to be in “go” mode and when to chill. You’ll be taught somatic practices to help regulate your nervous system, so that slowing down feels safe and accessible. The amazing thing? You’ll do less, and achieve more.
-
I was in my mid-thirties when I realised that my painful tender breasts and bloated stomach were *not* normal signs that I was about to get my period. This was my body telling me that my hormones were out of whack and I needed to make some changes.
Whatever menstrual symptom(s) you’re struggling with - know that your body is communicating with you. In this program, you’ll learn the language of your body and womb so you know how to support and honour your needs.
-
Shifting how we live our lives is an inherent part of shifting how we experience our cycle. Most of us sabotage our cycle health by eating processed foods, not getting enough sleep or living in chronic stress.
Blood Magic introduces ways to support your cycle and hormonal needs in a titrated way. This means cycle wisdom will be shared gradually, so you’ll have time to integrate your learnings easefully without feeling overwhelmed.

WELCOME, GORGEOUS!
I’m thrilled to have you here.
I’m a multi-passionate human who’s been intrigued by the wisdom of the human body and holistic ways of living ever since I was a child. I remember thinking that sunshine, fruit and running barefoot on grass was the secret to happiness (and I still kinda do!).
Today, that barefoot explorer is a Menstrual Cycle Coach & Somatic Erotic Educator. I guide women(x) to reclaim their cycles and remember their divine feminine power.
Before I was radically shifting how women(x) connect to themselves - I worked in academia and the health sector for many years. My main focus was implementing accessible care for a variety of underserved populations. I worked with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia, with people living with HIV/AIDS and women(x) accessing prenatal care in Canada.
Although I loved my work, something was missing. I felt a deep disconnection to myself and the feminine. A series of events brought me to do my yoga teacher training - and today, with a cumulation of over 1000+h training - I realise this was just the beginning of my journey back to my authentic, free and cyclical self.

Somatic erotic educator training deepend my connection to self and provided me with the most profound way to listen to and understand my cyclical body. Somatic experiencing offers a sensation based approach to self-exploration and transformation.
Blood magic is the result of over 15+ years of personal and professional exploration that merges science and the sacred.

It is my utmost pleasure to guide women(x) to reconnect to, and remember, who they truly are. Witnessing women(x) reclaim their sacred, powerful and divine selves is my heart and womb’s mission.

RECLAIM YOUR CYCLE AND FEMININE POWER
‘‘This program is a game changer for any female bodied person desiring more knowledge & connection with their body, its rhythm, its needs and basic function to be able to better show up for it.
If you are having extreme symptoms within your cycle or don't feel at home in your body, this is a great program and practice for you.
My relationship with my cycle was one of longing, confusion, resentment and frustration.
Now it is one of listening, nurturing, having reverence for and honouring. ’’

“There is no place safer to reconnect to the feminine and to menstrual cycle than with Stella. How beautiful it is to collectively break free of the taboos and shame that surround the feminine and the magic of one's monthly bleed. I cannot urge you enough to connect with Stella and her teachings as medicine to heal the collective. Invite your mamas and sisters too, heck yell it off the rooftops because the world needs this kind of healing and reconnection. Truly the greatest gift of all.”

reclaiming your cycle and feminine power is sacred work.
Is blood magic for you?
Blood Magic is a deep and immersive 4-month coaching program dedicated to cycle wisdom, embodiment and reclamation of your feminine power.
There are a limited number of spots available for this program to ensure a high-quality and intimate experience among participants. For this reason, I will be hand selecting those who join me on this journey.
This program is for women(x) who are open-minded, curious and committed to breaking old patterns and reprogramming new ways of living around their cycle, body and feminine essence.
* Next cohort runs from May - August 2023.
Blood magic is an invitation to women who have a holistic mindset when it comes to their cycle and health. They believe that the body functions as a whole and all is interconnected - body, mind, nervous system, intuition and spirit, and that our inner & outer ecosystems matter.
It is encouraged that you have done some level of self-discovery, or spiritual work.
when you join blood magic:
↠ You’re reclaiming parts of yourself (and your ancestors) that were intentionally severed.
↠ you’re reconnecting to and integrating to your whole, beautiful, powerful self.

◇ You are looking for a “quick fix” to your period problems and/or PMS symptoms.
◇ You only want to live cyclically from “time to time”
◇ You don’t want to make any changes to how you’re currently living, but expect your cycle to improve.
◇ You’re not open to trusting your body’s intelligence and listening to its messages.
◇ You’d rather sacrifice your cycle health over slowing down, listening and honour your body’s needs.
◇ You don’t respect other women(x) journeys and are intolerant to different experiences other than your own.

why blood magic?
This program has been uniquely designed to combine the science behind our hormones with the sacredness of our cyclical nature; supported through trauma informed, feminine-led coaching and somatic experiencing.

This is not your average “love and light” spiritual program, nor is it a dry, scientific symposium. Blood magic is the culmination of over 15+ years of my personal and professional exploration, merging science and the sacred. Drawing from my experiences in research and academia, yoga and self-discovery, facing the shadow side of the feminine, nervous system regulation, embodiment and an unwavering desire to help women(x) connect to who they truly are.
You’re likely the first woman(x) in your lineage who has the opportunity to reclaim their cycle and embody an easeful, pleasure-filled cyclical life.
After generations of this sacred wisdom being intentionally severed and denied, Blood Magic is your key to reclaiming what has always been yours (and your ancestors) birthright:
↠ YOUR right to live a cycle-centred, balanced, embodied and pleasure-filled life.

what called you here
↠ You want to feel empowered
you want to cultivate cycle literacy, so you can better understand how your cycle works, how to balance your hormones, and how to live in harmony (not against) with your cyclical nature.
↠ You know you deserve an easeful cycle
you’re tired of struggling every single month. You know, deep down, that it doesn’t have to be this way. You’re ready to experience less period pain and PMS symptoms, have a regular cycle and embody a pleasure-filled cyclical life.
↠ You desire a deeper connection to your womb
you know your cycle is a sacred source of power and now you’re ready to FEEL it. You want to embody an intimate relationship with yourself and connect to ease daily.

RECLAIM YOUR CYCLE AND FEMININE POWER
RECLAIM YOUR CYCLE AND FEMININE POWER
Blood magic is your invitation to do something today that your future self will thank you for.
Section Styles full-width
Here is the thing:
we are cyclical beings living in a non-cyclical world.
We live in a patriarchal culture that does not value the natural, beautiful, and powerful infradian rhythm that exists among women(x) who bleed.
Just because our culture doesn’t value or acknowledge this part of us - doesn’t mean we stop being cyclical. It’s part of our biology and our spirit.
And the longer you continue to live against your natural rhythm the longer you will continue to struggle with imbalanced hormones, painful bleeds, erratic PMS and a feeling of disconnection.
Your choice to reclaim your cycle is a profound act of reclaiming a part yourself that was intentionally severed. It’s your personal (and powerful) revolution that breaks ancestral patterns and invites you to create a life that you desire and deserve.
Joining Blood Magic will not only have a positive ripple effect on the rest of your cyclical life, but it will also affect those around you (ex. how you show up in your intimate relationship, at work, with family and friends). You will also notice a strong desire to share cycle wisdom with the other women(x) in your world.
What’s more, the women(x) I work with not only experience more easeful periods, less PMS and a deep reverence for the body and womb. They also quit unfulfilling jobs, start their own business, have increased self-confidence, prioritise rest, have unwavering boundaries, experience a deeper level of self-love & feel turned on by life, daily.
Take a moment to close your eyes and reflect on:
How does your future self want to feel each month?
How will that impact how you live your life?

“Stella’s program has been absolutely groundbreaking in the way I hold space and compassion for myself as a cyclical being. I’m now able to recognize my own emotions, sensations and feelings and situate them within the larger context of my cycle. I have never felt more connected to Mother Earth and more at home in my body, welcoming the entirety of my human experience. Thank you Stella for reminding us to tune in, and to find the utmost compassion for ourselves. To hold ourselves precious, to love our cycle, to cherish ourselves as womxn and the womxn around us, to come together, to bleed!’’

My relationship to my cycle was inexistent before Blood Magic. I used to think having a period simply meant bleeding one week out of the month. I thought my period was nasty and gross, and something shameful that needed to be hidden.
I now see my bleed as something sacred, powerful, and pure.
I now celebrate my bleed and am continuing the journey of cultivating a loving relationship with my womb.

''The way I have connected to my cyclical rhythm, honoured my body, and constantly listened to it has radically changed for the better. I feel tuned inwards and outwards towards nature.

‘‘Understanding my hormones and embodying the role of each cycle phase has changed my life and my vision on being a woman.
I used to struggle with my period and it was a terrible time for me. Now it's a celebration, where I get to rest, reconnect to myself and my needs, honour my body.
I feel so much more at ease and confident about my feminine nature and my power as a woman.
