'Exuberance is beautiful' ~ William Blake

I'm so glad you're visiting my website and are interested in learning how to slow down, breathe and simplify.  I believe that life is meant to be full of joy and laughter.  I believe in listening to your body and eating great food.  I believe the menstrual cycle holds the key to women's health and happiness and that all women deserve to be PMS free and to live beautiful, sexy, vivacious lives. Now you can find everything you need to make this happen right here.
 
At the heart of all my teaching (and my own continuing journey) is learning how to make your menstrual cycle a positive part of your life and discovering how to work with your own natural rhythms in order to live a truly beautiful life.

12 years ago I would have laughed at anyone who suggested periods could be positve and should be celebrated.  I suffered with terrible PMS, heavy periods and debilitating stomach cramps (along with panic attacks, anaemia and a general lack of energy).  Frankly, I was unimpressed with the whole concept of periods!  Fast forward a few years, and a lot of work, and I now enjoy a pain free, regular cycle.  

Learning how to work with my menstrual cycle (and stop trying to control it) and embrace my natural rhythm, combined with other self-development techniques such as learning to slow down, breathe and simplify, has improved my life in an unbelievable number of ways.  (You can read more about me here).  

I want to share what I have learnt with you, and what I am still learning, and help all women, and girls, have a positive period experience and live their best life. 

             'Learning to work with my menstrual cycle 
                         has improved my life 
           and strengthened my relationship with myself,
                    my husband and my children.  
        Now I want to pass on what I've learnt to you...'

                   Everything you and your daughter need
                   to embrace her journey to womanhood

In 2011 I set up The Red Box Company in order to help parents celebrate their daughter's first period (menarche) and enable girls to see their periods as a positive experience.  Through The Red Box Company I have met some amazing women and girls and am passionate about continuing my work with both parents and young girls and supporting them as they embark on this important journey to womanhood.  A girl's first period is a rite-of-passage and a landmark event in her young life.  As parents we can help make it a moment to remember for all the right reasons and deepen our relationship with our daughter at a time when many girls begin to distance themselves. Visit my Menarche page to discover lots of top tips for parents and info for girls.  My Red Box Company page has products for sale, including beautiful gift boxes, to help celebrate your daughter's first period and on my Freebies page you can find lots of Free ebooks, posters etc.   
  
           'The Red Box Company is such a great idea! It makes the whole  experience of starting periods a positive one and creates the opportunity for  a deepening relationship between mothers and daughters. I only wish it 
                      was available when my girls were that age!'
