Fix Your Menstrual Cycle

menstrual cycle

No more stubborn acne that makes you want to hide from the world each month.

No more wondering when or if you’ll menstruate this time.

No more bleeding so much you have to change your plans…and your pants.

No more taking sick days or popping liver-damaging meds because your period cramps are unbearable.

No more dealing with countless side effects after coming off the pill, and feeling confused navigating the natural birth control methods.

No more weighing fatigue that makes you just want to give up.

No more hormone imbalance leaving you feeling so depressed before your period that all you can do is cry in bed.

No more crazy mood swings each month – furious at everyone about everything one minute, and sobbing at cute animal reels the next.

Sounds great, right ?

We're nothing like a visit to the doctor

The overload of information out there can leave you feeling more confused than ever! And let’s not forget the frustration when nothing seems to work or when those issues keep coming back, making you wonder if you’ll ever feel better.

And when you try to get help, the medical system doesn’t even listen, leaving you feeling even more stressed and alone.

It’s enough to make anyone feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and just over it all.

What coaching method do you use?

Your coach, Arya, was trained in Naturopathy in France. She uses the coaching method taught in European Naturopathy schools.

What does that mean? Well, we’re not anything like a doctor’s visit; we’re here to listen, learn, and respect that you know your body better than anyone.

Naturopathic coaching is holistic – it views the body as a whole instead of viewing each organ as separate from the rest; it works on all physical, psychological, emotional, and environmental levels.

This means we do not simply provide a band-aide to cover up symptoms; we are trained to ask the right questions to guide you to the cause of the symptom. If we only help the symptom and not the cause, the health problem will reappear in different ways until its cause is resolved.

What if I have questions between sessions?

You don’t have to wait for a scheduled call for questions! Our coaching package includes 2 email responses to address any questions or concerns. 

* The 2 email limit does not apply to scheduling-related questions.

** If your question is too complicated to answer via email or if you want help with a new symptom, your coach will recommend booking a separate video session to safely and fully address your concerns. 

What will my health plan look like?

This isn’t your average health plan. We spend hours making your health plan which will be your roadmap to wellness. We tailor it to your personality and lifestyle because, let’s face it, no two people are alike.

In practice, four key pillars are applied: nutrition, physical movement, mindset, and environment. A detailed client chart is put together based on these pillars, with the aim of removing the cause/s of the your health concern.

You get three holistic action steps that are personalized to help you resolve the cycle symptoms that you’re struggling with. The steps include exactly what to change and tips for successfully implementing the changes in a way that makes sense for YOU and your life.

How It Works

1. Mini-Consultation

We’ll start with a FREE mini-consultation, a video call about 10-15 minutes long, to see if we’re a good fit. We will go over your menstrual cycle concern/s and your coach will let you know if it is something we are equipped to help with. Your coach will also go over what is involved from you.

2. Intake Session

Next up is a video call, about 90 minutes long (yes, you can show up in PJs!), where you can share all your menstrual cycle & health concerns. There is a full intake with the purpose of collecting information on your recent past and present on the naturopathic pillars of nutrition, movement, mindset, and environment.

3. Health Plan Review

After the call, your coach will write a personalized health plan based on your goals, lifestyle, and preferences. The health plan will be based on the pillars of Naturopathy: food, movement, and emotions.

Later that same week, there’ll be a quick video call, around 10-15 minutes, to review the plan together and make sure you’re feeling good about it.

4. Follow-up Session

Then, about 1-2 months later, there’ll be a third, 1 hour video call for a follow-up chat to discuss how your menstrual cycle has improved and what might need changing for long-term success.

What Results Can I Expect?

The overload of information out there can leave you feeling more confused than ever! And let’s not forget the frustration when nothing seems to work or when those issues keep coming back, making you wonder if you’ll ever feel better.

And when you try to get help, the medical system doesn’t even listen, leaving you feeling even more stressed and alone.

It’s enough to make anyone feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and just over it all.

Manageable

Clients who work with us find that we explain things in a way that’s easy to understand, so they know exactly why we’re making certain changes and how it’ll benefit them.

Before creating your health plan, we make sure we understand how much time & energy you have to make changes. We also tailor the plan to the type of person you are: do you need smaller changes over time to ensure they stick, or are you someone who goes all in and can handle big changes in a short time?

Personalized

Again, nothing like a medical visit here. You won’t get the same print out that’s given to every patient. You won’t be told to take ibuprofen and “deal with it”. You won’t be told that it’s all in your head. 

Coaching sessions Downstairs Alchemy are 100% tailored to your symptoms, your personality, and your lifestyle. 

If we have 5 clients that all come to us with period cramps, each one of their Health Plans will look totally different from the others. This is because they all have different root causes of their cramps. One might have a high inflammatory diet. Another might have endometriosis. The third might have a hormonal imbalance. Different root causes = personalized Health Plans. 

Alleviation of symptoms

Our favorite part is that our clients see improvements not only in their menstrual cycle issues but also in their overall health.

Think glowing skin, stable & positive mood, and take-on-the-world energy levels.

Clients have reported “side effects” of healthier digestive systems, better sleep, increased productivity, & so much more! 

What will your “side effects” be ? wink

“Arya is extremely knowledgeable and shares helpful information in a digestible way. During our initial consultation, she took the time to understand my mental, physical, and emotional state. I felt open to sharing with her to become more in-tune with my body as a woman–it was a very welcoming space. Following our conversation, she developed a personal plan based on everything we had discussed, including recommendations on how to balance my hormones through slight diet and lifestyle modifications as well as a few supplements. The changes seem simple to implement, but I’m positive they can make a big impact on my life and my health. I’m excited to try them out and learn how to truly understand my cycle over the next few months!”

I had trouble with my energy levels regularly going down and feeling like I was not able to getting in shape despite regularly exercising. I had a session with Arya and after carefully listening to me and asking a series of questions about my habits, she adviced on a few simple dietary changes and recommended some supplements. A few months after making the dietary changes that she suggested, I have much higher energy levels and I can finally see the result of my exercise. She is the best coach that I’ve ever met!
