Menstruality

Events
Menstruality
Menstruality encompasses the whole arc from first bleed (menarche) to menopause. Get to know your own unique rhythm and pace by learning to track your cycle - way beyond what you can get from using an app. Working with me, you’ll have access to the powerful teachings of Red School and my own years of living cyclically. Get to know your ‘hot spots’ and vulnerabilities throughout the month, and in turn, consciously prepare for menopause. Let’s deep dive together and I promise you will find treasure and never look back! I offer 1:1 coaching which includes mentoring and experience of the menstruality medicine circle - a powerful somatic, guided visualisation to access your intuition and unique cycle wisdom.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a practice of horizontal deep meditative rest. It is where healing takes place, creativity emerges, and most of all, it’s one of the sweetest, most loving thing you can do for yourself in this busy and wild world we live in. All that is required is for you to lie down, get super comfortable, and absolutely nothing else.
I am a certified Daring to Rest facilitator and am inspired and influenced by the teachings and practices of Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and Total Yoga Nidra. I offer Yoga Nidra in groups and 1:1.
Events
I love sharing the wisdom of the menstrual cycle and know the power of sitting in circle. My workshops range from a ‘toe-dip’ into the menstrual cycle to a deeper dive below the surface teachings. All are a rich mix of learning and sharing, weaving in visualisations and embodiment practices. People leave these sessions feeling seen, heard, inspired and motivated to continue to connect with their cycles and live their own sweet rhythms. My Rest Circles are an opportunity to drop into deep rest as well as being an invitation to connect with others on a chosen shared theme. Creating and holding a soft, cosy and safe space is one of my best life skills and I look forward to sharing it with you. Keep an eye on my Instagram for news of upcoming events.
HELLO.
I am a passionate, tenacious, playful and highly sensitive empath. Aside from my professional training and qualifications, my work is influenced and shaped by my personal experience of recovery. I am drawn to the liminal spaces and the transitions; I feel deeply rooted in cycles and spirals and my work is profoundly motivated by these experiences. I am inspired by somatics, embodiment, restorative yoga, energy work, sharing circles, deep listening, creativity, rest and decades of co-creating with people in their daily lives as an occupational therapist.
Whether 1:1 or in a group, my approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-informed, humorous, gentle, nurturing, spacious and rooted in curiosity and care. I love conversations which go deep and I hold supportive space for transformations, revelations and realisations about your beautiful cyclical self.
My in-person workshops and circles take place in Bath, Leeds and the surrounding areas, and my 1:1 sessions take place online.
TESTIMONIALS.
“Annie is a rare soul, with whom I feel able to be really honest. I know it sounds like a cliche, but I do feel really able to 'show myself' with Annie, and that I won't be judged. Her integrity and knowledge is also second to none, and she is deeply passionate. So it is always utterly wonderful to be in her company. I couldn't recommend Annie to anyone more.”
— Gillian, Yoga Teacher
“The workshop was absolutely gorgeous. I thoroughly recommend it for anyone who didn’t make it this time. Beautiful, life-changing work. So many synchronicities on the day, which is testament to the energy healing power in the room. Thank you Annie. And I got the advice I needed!”
— Lourdes, ‘Explore Your Cycle’ workshop participant
“I felt very empowered and eager to learn more after you made me notice how much of my day to day is affected by a period even without bleeding! I’m now conscious of my cycle and am trying to recognise patterns.”
— Anonymous
‘Annie is a beautiful and elegant speaker. We warmed to her instantly and the pace and content chosen was utterly perfect. There were multiple a-ha moments for all of us, huge engagement throughout and amazing gratitude by the end. We all felt like we’d been given a gift that should have been ours a long time ago.”
— Jessica, NLP Master Trainer, Breakthrough Coach & Motivational Speaker
