I help you translate the language of your cyclical body.
Hi, I'm Carmen.
A Menstrual Educator & Coach blending science, intuition, and compassion to help you understand your rhythm and trust your body again.
I didn't always love my cycle. In fact, for a long time, I fought it.
Like many, I grew up thinking of my period as an inconvenience, messy, painful, and something to just "deal with."
In my 20s, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). The medical solution was quick and dismissive: I was put on hormonal birth control as the "only treatment" and sent on my way. I took it for years without asking questions.
But eight years later, my body started rejecting the pill. That physical rejection sparked a deeper curiosity: If I'm not on the pill, how do I actually take care of this condition? And why did nobody teach me how my body works?
The more I learned, the more my frustration turned into purpose. I realized I wasn't alone in feeling disconnected, uneducated, and unsupported in my own journey.
I decided to become the guide I wish I had back then.
A bridge between biology and wisdom.
I noticed early on that the menstrual health world is often divided: it's either hyper-clinical or purely spiritual. I believe we need both.
My approach is grounded in a blend of evidence-based training and intuitive practice:
The Wisdom
(Intuition)
I trained in the UK as a Menstruality Mentor with Red School. This gave me the language of the "Inner Seasons" and the tools to help you connect with the emotional and creative power of your rhythm.
The Science
(Evidence)
I became a certified Fertility Awareness Educator with FEMM. This qualified me to teach you the physiology of your hormones and how to chart biomarkers for health, contraception, or conception.
The Coaching
(Integration)
I am currently in advanced training to certify as a Cycle Coach (expected 2026), constantly deepening my skills to support your transformation.
What I believe:
You are not broken.
Whether you are navigating PCOS, irregularity, or just confusion, your body is not an enemy to be conquered. It is a system trying to communicate with you.
There is no "perfect" cycle.
I don't impose rigid rules or aim for a textbook standard. We celebrate the diversity of your unique experience.
Self-compassion is non-negotiable.
We question what we were taught, unlearn the shame, and honor our bodies with softness.
Agency is everything.
My goal is not to be your guru, but to help you become your own best advocate, armed with the knowledge to make informed decisions for your health.
How I became a Menstrual Educator & Coach
Conscious Entrepreneurs Festival, March 2023 at Helsinki City Hall.
When I'm not talking about periods…
I am a human first, living and loving in Helsinki. Here is what lights me up outside of my work:
The forest is my happy place
I am convinced I moved to Finland specifically to connect with the forest. Whether I'm hiking, camping, or literally hugging trees (yes, I talk to them too!), nature is where I ground myself. My partner and I have visited 19 of Finland's 41 National Parks and our goal is to see them all.
The wisdom of motherhood
Becoming a mother gave me a profound new lens on cyclical living. Watching my pregnancy unfold was a beautiful opportunity to witness how the cycle mirrors the seasons of life.
Gentle rhythms
I love a good matcha latte and discovering cute coffee shops, sometimes with company, sometimes just in the company of my own thoughts.
Cyclical Business
I am genuinely passionate about entrepreneurship, specifically, exploring how we can build businesses in a gentle, feminine way that thrives without burning out in a masculine-driven world.
