Know How You Cycle
the blog
Everybody cycles in her own way. In this blog I share inspiration, more detailed information and parts of my own journey of living in a female body and embodying the feminine. To help you create more awareness on how you move through your seasons.
The Pains and Powers of baby loss 30 November 2021 When I was asked to write something for the fertility clinic in Cape Town about losing our baby Jade I felt an instant yes, and also an insecurity and vulnerability rising up.
