Something happens when one woman sees another woman in her power, in her radiance, in her joy…

It activates something in her. ⚡️

That part that says “I want that.”

it’s infectious.

In shadow, it’s jealousy, but in conscious awareness, it’s inspiration.

Thank you to every woman who unapologetically embodied joy in front of me when I was at my lowest. I needed to see it. I needed to believe it was possible for me, even if I didn’t realize it at the time.

“What one woman can do, all women can do.” - Sister Morningstar. 🌟

This is why we need to gather as women.

✨To remember our cycle as a foundational blueprint for health, happiness, and spirituality.

✨To collectively reflect back to each other our immense power to create the life of our dreams and to hold each other in each moment we forget we are worthy of that.

✨To laugh from the belly and remember that life is richer in community.

And these? They are all the intentions of the Nourished and Thriving Women’s Retreat. It’s what we do in the workshops to understand cervical fluid and feel for each others ovaries. It’s in the nighttime cuddle sessions that turn into dream life masterminds. It’s about the girl talk over each nourishing meal or around the fire at night.

Of course you don’t need a retreat to create community. But we sure do have a lot of fun - and go really, really deep in a way that only being in a foreign country living with 10+ other women for 8 days provides.

And if you don’t…

Hi, I’m Natalie. 👋🏼🌹

I help everyday women heal their hormones and remember the magic of their menstrual cycle.

And yeah, ease their painful periods, get pregnant, and utilize their cycle as a blueprint for designing the life of their dreams. 🩸✨

Why?

Because after my own energy crash and existential crisis, this stuff saved my life - for real. My curiosity became insatiable and eventually it’s all I could talk about (ask anyone). 😂💖

Over time, with mentorship and self-study, I launched my podcast and began seeing 1:1 clients. It’s my greatest mission on this Earth to support as many women as possible to know their bodies and heal from the roots.

So if you’re looking for down to earth meets wise woman support, reach out. I’m here for you. 🙏😘

When Laura and I were sitting at a cafe and a chance encounter with a more experienced retreat leader led us into an impromptu creative brainstorming session in which we birthed the Embodied Woman, I had EVERY excuse in the book of why it wasn’t going to work for us/me.

“Well, I already take 1:1 clients so this won’t work. How will I distinguish it?”

“Who will we even sell this to? Do we have a wide enough reach?”

“What if it doesn’t work?”

Whew!!! ALL of my limiting beliefs came to the surface like an erupting volcano.

And if I had been on my own?

Well, I wouldn’t have just hopped off the call with the first woman who joined the Embodied Woman.

(It was beautiful , by the way. We are working on healing her body to prepare for conception - from sciatica and to prevent HG this time and a few more pieces).

Anyways, Laura wouldn’t allow it. 😅

For every single reason I came up with about why it would never work, Laura met me with a solution and way forward on why it could.

And while it initially pi**ed me off (having our limited beliefs challenged usually does), eventually I realized something -

Laura saw my genius and my potential even when I couldn’t. She believed in me even when I doubted myself and was not going to let me stay small. 🥹

We all deserve somebody like that in our corner.

When you join The Embodied Woman, you also get Laura in your corner. You get to have someone who will 100% believe in you and your dreams, challenge you limiting beliefs and guide you into the next level, even when you don’t think you’re ready for it.

So, if you DON’T want to be pushed out of your safe but not fulfilling zone, you might not want to join us for this 6 month transformation. 🤪

However, if this sounds like exactly the hand-holding meets gently pushing off the cliff that your soul is craving, I invite you to take your seat. We begin July 9, but 1:1 sessions start the moment you say yes. Comment “matriarch” to book a free clarity call ✨👇🏼

In case you needed a reminder from your cycle sista, your period was never meant to be something you dread. It does not have to be painful, and yes, it actually can be pleasurable! 🩸✨

When you know how to tend to yourself, your bleed becomes your own personal retreat - a time for reflection, rest, ritual, and often, immense potential for crystal clear clarity on life decisions and big purpose.

Why aren’t we taught THAT?! 🤯

If you’re curious to learn more and how you can set yourself up for this kind of experience…

🌹The Embodied Woman is my 6 month mentorship (in partnership with ) including 1:1 sessions, group ceremonial activations, access to all my digital products/programs and more for the woman ready to truly take her health and purpose to the next level. Comment “matriarch” 👇🏼

“She’s a WITCH!!!”

Lol, maybe. That word doesn’t trigger me like it does for some, but that’s not what this is about.

The main point I want to make here is that interacting with my blood is 100% not about anyone else, or about making a statement. It isn’t a crazy weird thing to do.

It is pure. 🩸

It is a return to the innocence of the little girl who was so excited to bleed but had nobody to model it for her (listen to my podcast for 40+ first period stories if you want to be reminded that nearly all of us feel this)

Creating a relationship with our blood heals the little girl within us and all the future little girls to come. When we did the Menarche Reclamation Ceremony (re-imprinting your first Blood with love and reverence), one of the women said it was “Psyche transforming.” 🦋

And YES. It is. Because what kind of world do we live in if we believe that the very Blood that GIVES life rather than takes it is dirty?

After the first ever Nourished and Thriving Retreat, we were amazed at how deeply each woman had transformed…

🌹One woman had her first regular ovulation in years
🦋Two are already planning trips to visit each other, having deeply connected with a new sister
🌸Three had revelations about their purpose and career and are already taking steps to actualize them

Together, Laura and I bring together where cyclical living/women’s health meets purpose and life direction - the intersection of building the life of your dreams, not at the expense of your hormonal health but in deep support of it.

It is the path we have both walked through our relationships, nourishment, purpose, health and vitality, business, motherhood and more. ⚡️

We were so lit up after the retreat to keep this momentum going that we went straight into creation mode and birthed The Embodied Woman!

This is the highest level of support and hand-holding either of us have ever offered and likely will ever offer. If you are looking to optimize your health, know yourself, discover and actualize your purpose in this world and be held accountable by us and other women walking a similar path to you…. we begin ✨July 9. ✨

Your womb won’t let you lead a mediocre life.

This doesn’t mean that every moment has to be sensational, but it does mean that things need to be in alignment with who you are - who you *actually* are.

There’s a reason why women break up with their boyfriends, leave their draining jobs, and generally change things up when they get off hormonal contraceptives -

it’s because your womb has a voice. 🌹

She speaks in many ways.

🩸Some may feel it as physical pain during menstruation.

🩸For others, it may show up as the nagging voice of your Inner Critic, “mood swings” in the premenstrual phase.

Most dismiss these as “normal,” or in the holistic health world, we consider them a problem to solve with purely practical means such as diet changes and supplementation.

And while, yes, I do 100% believe those things help, it is only half of the solution.

Your womb speaks in sensation and criticism not because your body hates you, but because she LOVES you. 💖

When we live out of alignment with our female bodies needs (like working a job that drains us and depletes our hormones, like being partnered to someone who isn’t actually right for you, like suppressing your dreams because you don’t think you’re capable of actualizing them), the body will speak to us.

Living in accordance to your cycle requires devotion to your Womb. It is not always easy, but it’s absolutely worth it.

I can tell you that the peace of sitting in my Luteal phase without the constant voice in my head that something about my life is off is 100% worth it.

It was not always this way.

But when I realized my life was a dream I could design and my womb was the path to actualizing it.... everything changed.

I promise you that if I can do it, so can you. ❤️

and I are hosting a free class on Tuesday where I will share some of the practical ways I did it. Comment “matriarch” to join us 🦋

5/31/25 ~ Pisac, Peru ~ cycle day 22

Where is the space for Grief?

because if it’s too much will I be left alone?
and if it’s too loud will I scare the children?

Will the neighbors come banging on my door?
not to support my process but to halt it?

Why must the Grief always be halted?
stuck in the body with a shrug of the shoulders and an “it’s okay”

when I know in my bones we were meant to shriek and wail and yell -
all while being lovingly and unconditionally held 🌹

—
pt. 2 of my poetry on Grief inspired by the passing of my sweet husky Leo and how it has opened my heart and given me permission to feel so deeply.

photo taken by up in the mountains here in Peru. I feel Leo’s spirit so strongly here. 🐺

I’m so grateful to the mountains and the rivers that have held me so lovingly. And the words that just pour out of me. It’s extremely vulnerable to share these parts of myself here and at the same time it feels really good to just…. be myself.

And to remind anyone who needs to hear it, whether you are moving through Grief or not, that you are not alone. ❤️

5/19/25 ~ Urubamba, Perú ~ first day of the Nourished and Thriving Retreat

🌹

I understand now how water carries emotion
I feel it in the way it comes in waves
The sea will be calm, still, quiet
And then out of (seemingly) nowhere
A wave crashes violently against the shore

The wave is the Grief
The shore is Me
And all that I can do is Surrender to it

My friend once taught me how to safely exit the Ocean when it is like this -
“You must ride the waves to the shore until there is a break long enough to stand.”

And so I stand.
And sometimes a wave still knocks me over.
Grief is like that, like the Ocean.
Steady yet wildly unpredictable.
Not always graceful yet never lacking in depth

When I look at it long enough, I see God.
The Ocean + Grief -
The knowing either one will lead me to a place I cannot yet see.

And for now, all I can do is honor the waves
neither resisting nor willing them to appear.
Because you cannot control the Ocean,
only respect Her.

It’s easy to look at someone full of love, who easily falls in love, who romanticizes life, and see naivety.

To roll your eyes and assume life will humble them.

Yes, life humbles us all but…

It is one thing to be naive and a hopeless romantic, to keep the heart open without boundaries and as a form of spiritual bypassing.

But it is an entirely other reality to be well seasoned by life’s trials and to still choose to live in this way.

I choose every day to open my heart. Every day I surrender it at the altar of Love.

Not because life hasn’t been hard for me but because it HAS.

God, it’s brutal but it’s also so beautiful and I couldn’t imagine living any other way.

Yes, I know that the people, places and experiences that I open my heart to could break it.

But I’d much rather it break open rather than remain closed.

“Better to have loved and lost than have never loved at all.”

Isn’t it cute how as we get older, all the cliches start to make sense?

Every single woman has her own personal Mythos. 🩸🌹🐍

This is something I have come to know to be true from being the host of a podcast where women share their stories.

Their Rites-of-Passage stories.

I often say to people that this podcast is making me fall more deeply in love with women (as if that were even possible) ❣️

But it’s true.

Every time I get off an interview, I have the thought “oh my god, she’s amazing.” 😱

And I do have AMAZING women on my podcast.

And yet, what I have realized is that we all have this precious life tale to tell that is mythic, poetic, and absolutely uniquely ours. 🦋

Everything that has led you to this moment is your own personal Myth. And that means none of it could ever be wrong. And all of it has to be sacred.

In case nobody has told you lately, I am proud of you. And I think the fires you have walked through and the mundane stories of your past are incredibly inspiring.
