Overview
Honouring the cycle – a fusion of science, Ayurveda & lunar wisdom
This Menstrual Health Teacher Training is for those who would like to work holistically with women's health, combining ancient wisdom, modern science and groundbreaking methodologies for a deeply empowering and healing experience.
Over three days at the Shala, Charli Van Ness and Olivia Fallon guide you through the four phases of the cycle – Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulatory and Luteal – viewed through the lenses of elements, lunar cycles and root energetics. You'll explore Ayurvedic doshas and their relationship to PMS and irregularities, and study holistic approaches to Endometriosis, PCOS and PMDD that move beyond symptom relief to address the root.
The training closes with the art of designing personalised wellness programmes, which draw draw on prakruti and vikruti, lunar and seasonal living, yoga, meditation, nutrition and lifestyle, so you can support others on their own healing journey with confidence and depth.
