from no period for 15+ years to recovering my cycle and GETTING pregnant naturallY.


I felt so guilty for making my body feel so unsafe for so long. I felt so dumb for not knowing anything about how female biology and hormones worked. I felt so crazy for being so out of touch with my body and what it needed to thrive. 

i realized that so many of my “healthy” habits actually weren’t so healthy. I was exercising too much, eating too little, and just generally moving WAY too fast through life. 

After getting off birth control, I realized I had no period and that I had been missing it for 15+ years. I was scared and alarmed. I dove deep into the research and science on missing cycles and learned I had something called hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) - a neurological issue that forms as a defense mechanism when the body is under too much stress and in a low energy availability state chronically. It works by shutting down communication between the brain and the ovaries - turning off reproductive functioning - so no ovulation and no period. 

Rediscovering My Body

Unveiling My Health Journey

I knew I needed to make a change for me. And so I did. I did everything I could do to heal - to make my body feel safe and restore energy availability. I cut out all exercise outside of a bit of walking and ate A LOT. I finally let my body rest and recover and gain weight after so many years of abuse. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done - I felt like I was losing my identity and giving up all control. But, it was so incredibly worthwhile and liberating. I got my period back and got pregnant naturally on my first ovulation - after being told by multiple doctors, who asked nothing about my lifestyle, that IVF and hormone replacement therapy would be my only options.

My Journey to Healing and Fertility

I also knew I needed to make a change for other women and so through my healing journey, I became a period expert - doing thousands of hours of research and studying everything there is to learn on the menstrual cycle. I also worked towards getting my hypothalamic amenorrhea practitioner certification from the first and only program dedicated to this topic. I’ve never felt more passionate about raising awareness on something. An estimated 30%+ of women have irregular or missing cycles and that number jumps to 40-60%+ for active women. It's alarming. It’s not talked about. And it needs to be.
