Bring MenstrualEquity to your
Trauma-informed trainings that integrate menstrual health education, cycle awareness, and stigma reduction to strengthen well-being, retention, and workplace culture.
Shift the narrative: menstrual health is not private—it’s core to workplace equity. With cycle awareness, people regain autonomy, mental health strengthens, and menstruators can do their best work. Make it a shared standard—embedded in policy, training, and everyday culture—not a private burden.
Is this your organization?
You’re committed to women’s mental health and equity, but you’re not sure how menstrual education fits into your workplace and programs.
You work with women and already provide free menstrual products — but not the education that should go with them.
You want to support employees who menstruate by improving the work environment, but don’t yet have clear policies in place.
You’d like to create a more inclusive workplace for menstruators, but aren’t sure what their specific needs are.
You would back a workplace initiative to raise awareness about menstruation, but don’t know what that could look like.
You want your staff — or the women you serve — to feel comfortable discussing menstrual health at work.
If you deeply care about women’s mental health, menstrual education is the missing piece.
Why Menstrual Equity Still Falls Through the Cracks
Menstrual and sexual health are foundational to bodily autonomy, dignity, and trauma recovery. Yet most workplaces weren’t designed with hormonal cycles in mind, which pushes people to override their natural rhythm—with real consequences for mental health.
Cyclical changes (menstruation, perimenopause, menopause) shape how people think, feel, and behave—while systems often expect everyone to function the same every day.
Pushing against the cycle fuels dysregulation, fatigue, pain, burnout, and hormonal imbalances.
The deeper issue is the lack of menstrual and sexual health education, so organizations don’t recognize the impact—or how to respond.
Ignoring menstrual health means missing a critical lever for holistic well-being—especially for women, girls, and gender-diverse people healing from violence. Bringing it into the open is not a “nice to have”; it’s essential to trauma-informed care and equity at work.
A Trauma-Informed, Cycle-Aware Approach That Works
We combine menstrual health education with trauma-informed practice so your teams can support cyclical bodies with clarity, safety, and confidence. Our Menstrual Equity Framework is rooted in:
Education & Body Literacy
Compelling, evidence-based sessions that build shared language around the menstrual cycle, pain management and agency—without shame or stigma. Outcomes: menstruators know t’s normal, what needs support, and how to talk about it.
Awareness & Healing
Trauma-aware communication, boundaries, and somatic practices —so staff and menstruators can learn emotional regulation, build safety in their bodies and build a deeper sense of self. Outcomes: safer conversations, better decisions, and strong sense of autonomy.
Environment & Policy
Simple, practical changes to space, schedules, and supplies—plus templates for inclusive policies that actually get used. Outcomes: clear guidelines, predictable support, and fewer awkward “one-off” requests.
This isn’t extra work —it’s the missing piece that makes your existing DEI and mental-health efforts land.
How it works?
How It Works (in 3 Steps)
- Assess: brief intake to understand your organization’s needs, and goals.
- Deliver: tailored workshop(s) +impactful resources.
- Embed: policy templates + follow-up check-in to keep momentum.
3 core workshops
- Menstrual Cycle Awareness (MCA) — a clear, practical introduction to the four phases and hormones.
- Periods Speak Loud: Your Cycle, Your Voice, Your Power — for women & menstruators.
- Periods Speak Loud: Listen to Your Body, Learn Your Rhythm — for youth & teens.
Workshops & Trainings
Trauma-informed sessions that blend Menstrual Health Education, Cycle Awareness, and stigma reduction—so your teams and programs support every cyclical body.
Outcomes & Impact
We focus on outcomes you can actually see—in people’s experience, policy uptake, and day-to-day practice. Within the first 60–90 days, teams move from ad-hoc “one-offs” to predictable, trauma-informed support that improves wellbeing, trust, and retention.
What changes?
How It Works (in 3 Steps)
- Reduced stigma & clearer language so conversations about cycles feel safe—not awkward.
- Predictable accommodations (heat packs, flexible breaks, supplies) instead of case-by-case exceptions.
- Confident managers who know scripts, boundaries, and next steps.
- Policies that get used , not shelved—simple, visible, and easy to follow.
By the Numbers
What We’re Hearing Across Teams
Unsure which symptoms warrant support or accommodations.
Managers lack clear guidance for cycle-related requests.
Say stigma/shame makes them less likely to disclose needs.
Avoid workplace menstrual supplies (hard to find / not stocked).
Before You Book
Quick answers to the most common questions. We keep this work practical, respectful, and easy to implement.
Who are the sessions for?
Designed for all-staff, managers/HR, and youth-serving teams. We tailor language and examples to your context.
Do participants have to share personal or medical details?
No. Sessions don’t require personal disclosures. Any sharing is voluntary and we model privacy-respectful practices.
Is this only about periods?
We cover the menstrual cycle alongside perimenopause/menopause and pain management basics—always in plain, inclusive language.
How long are the sessions and what formats do you offer?
60–90-minute primers, manager clinics, or half-day sprints. Live online or on-site.
Will this create more work for managers?
Quite the opposite. We provide ready-to-use scripts, decision trees, and policy templates so support becomes predictable, not ad-hoc.
How do you measure impact?
Pre/post pulse (3–5 questions), a short manager scenario check, and simple policy-uptake tracking. We’ll set baselines with you.
Can this be adapted for schools or community programs?
Yes. We offer youth-appropriate content, guardian guidance, and educator FAQs.
Is it gender-inclusive and trauma-informed?
Yes. We use gender-inclusive language and trauma-aware facilitation, with clear boundaries and referral pathways.
We measure what matters
Policies only work when people use them. These partners did—and it shows.
“If you’re a woman on the path of self-discovery, this is a fundamental topic you’ll want to explore.”
If it weren’t for Eileen, I would have never thought to include this in my journey. Until then, I focused on my strengths, my weaknesses, what I liked and disliked — but learning about my body, my physical “container,” had never crossed my mind. I didn’t think my cycle could affect how I felt or thought. I absolutely recommend this workshop. There’s so much we don’t know that we should know. Knowledge is power!.
I’m deeply grateful for this light shining on such an important subject. There’s a reason we are women — and we are different!
“Thanks to this new knowledge, my leadership today is no longer at any cost.”
The first time I heard Eileen speak about cyclical bodies was during a live session — and she shared so much I had never known.
I discovered that I am not meant to be productive all month long — something I only learned at 37. I realized how much ignorance and indifference there is around something so essential. It was mind-blowing. I even felt a little sad for not having known it earlier — wondering, how did I find out so late?
But thanks to this new awareness, today my leadership is not at any cost. My work is now deeply connected to this understanding—first knowing who I am and what I need.
“Before meeting Eileen, I had no idea how special my body truly was. Now, thanks to her, I do.”
We talked about the complexity of our female bodies — and how that very complexity is what makes them so beautiful. I’m deeply grateful to Eileen for the knowledge she’s shared and for her kindness along the way.
She’s a unique teacher who walks beside you as you rediscover your body. I know this is just the beginning.
Thank you, Eileen. I feel so much more empowered now!
