Painful and complicated periods have been so normalized that we’ve forgotten it’s not supposed to happen this way…
You’re right to suspect there is more to it.
My Story & The Birth Of Spotless Girl
When I was 13 years old, I had such intense bleeding, cramping, fainting spells, and low energy, that I was put on the pill. There was nobody back then to explain what was happening to me, and how I could handle it. I was stuck. I was drained. And honestly? I was a scared little girl in a big adult world.
6 years later, I learned about the adverse effects of the pill (it took them 6 years to tell me what the medicine I was taking really was…) and I got terrified. I could see and feel the side-effects impacting my body, and I could feel myself feeling less and less like…well… myself.
I secretly got off the pill.
This started my journey of trying to figure out what was happening to my body, why it reacted like that, and if that was just the curse of womanhood or if there was something to do about it.
I discovered that what I had thought about my body and cycle wasn’t true and that my life was meant to feel healthy and radiant. My whole health took a U-turn.
I became an Integrative Health Coach with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, an EFT practitioner with the Priority Academy, and a herbal practitioner for women with Aviva Romm (and many other teachers such as Marie-Christine Vallières, Sajah Popham, Kami McBride, Erika Galentin, Evan Sylliaasen, Camille Freeman, and Dr Libby Weaver).
I learned to use somatic therapy, nutrition, regulation of the nervous system, herbalism, and many other methods to transform my body, and relationship to my body, in ways that made sense with who I knew I was inside.
Now I have the ability to share the tools to balance hormones without the pill, to explain the natural design of the cycle and other hormonal flows, and to give women the opportunity to reconnect with their bodies as a whole miracle rather than a series of disassembled pieces that need fixing.
Spotless Girl exists to help women gain their power back, using their feminine biology as their biggest ally in a world that tells them to wage war against it. I encourage women to be empowered in their womanhood, to tap into a power that is so feminine that it literally shows up in their bodies, and to create the lifestyle they truly desire with it.
This is about rejecting the easy fixes that actually dim the light of our cycle because, in the end, we are complex and wonderfully made creatures that deserve exquisite attention and care. We hold the map for radiance within, we just need to relearn to read it.
Our Menstruation Cycle Is Struggling - My Take On What’s Happening
If you’re having an uncomfortable period, it doesn’t mean that you’re broken. It also doesn’t mean you’re supposed to “suck it up buttercup” and learn to live with it as it is. Because that’s not what your period is supposed to feel like.
A “normal” period (meaning, the way your body naturally wants to and is programmed to experience a period) is symptom-free:
What is not normal, but common
Pain before and during your period
Mood swings, or feeling ungrounded in your emotions
Feeling exhausted
Waking up in the middle of the night
Bloating and constipation that makes you feel really uncomfortable
Feeling out of yourself, over-sensitive, confused about your thoughts and feelings
Or any symptom you are noticing only comes with your period, that makes you feel like a different person and feels uncomfotable
What is normal
At the same time every cycle, you wake up and start bleeding
You’re not feeling uncomfortable
The flow of your bleed is manageable with a few (3 to 4) pads/tampons/menstrual underwear a day
Your bleed is cranberry red throughout the entire week, and lets lighter at the end of it
Your menstrual week lasts from 4 to 7 days, but it doesn’t stop your life in its tracks. You can still live normally, feeling good about yourself
So Why Can’t We Experience a Normal Period???
Our period is our fifth vital sign. It tells us how our health has been in the past month(s), how our hormonal balance is reflecting other systems in our body (like our immune system, fertility, etc), and where things have been more difficult for our body. When something is off, our period lets us know.
An uncomfortable period is a way our body is trying to communicate with us. This means that a period that talks is a functioning period. We just need to learn what to do with that information.
Because for most women… something is, indeed, off.
Most of us are malnourished. The foods we eat contain less and less nutrients, and our bodies are having a harder and harder time to absorb them.
Most of us are stressed constantly. Our nervous system is stuck on the sympathetic response and creates waves of dysregulation in our body.
Most of us are disconnected. We’ve never been taught to read our symptoms, to understand our cycle, or to inhabit our own body. We do not speak the language of our body.
Most of us are isolated. By not knowing our bodies, we depend on other’s choices about it. We go on living a day to day life in a world that isn’t always very woman-friendly, without knowing how to ask for what our biology needs. Our trust is broken, and we don’t know where to turn, especially towards other women.
What Does That Mean For Us?
Our bodies are out of balance, and we are suffering through many symptoms as a result of it. Our period responds to all of it, and starts to feel like a curse.
There is a global hormonal dysregulation epidemic.
When we don’t address it, a couple of things can happen:
We need to rely on hormonal medicine (the pill, hormone replacement therapy, etc) for longer than what these types of medicines were meant to be taken
Symptoms start to shift places, impact different aspects of our health, and start popping up in more and more places (insomnia, weight gain, hair loss, digestive troubles, etc), sometimes disrupting our life completely
Perimenopause can come earlier, and be heavier, sometimes leading to a complicated menopause
Fertility gets more complicated
We have no tools and language to teach the next generations of girls about their body and period
But I Trust It Can Change
Reconnecting, renourishing, and relearning about our cycle and menstrual wellness is the gateway to radiance - the state of health where we feel strong and confident in our skin.
It gives us the peace of mind that comes from knowing that our next menstruation won’t disrupt our life, and that we’ll know what to do with the information our body will give us.
It gives the next generation a better chance in their life and wellbeing.
It makes our perimenopausal transition smoother.
It changes our relationship to our body and health.
And so on.
“The menstrual cycle is... our inner guidance system, initiating us into and anointing us with ever deepening revelation and wisdom,”
My Method - What I Believe is Needed
So what do we do about it? We return to our inner radiance blueprint.
Your cycle isn’t the problem — it’s the map to your radiance. It’s your way back to that blueprint where your period is symptom-free.
Disclaimer: I don’t fix hormones for women. I help women understand their cycle so they know what to do about it. And in that process, their period becomes lighter and their symptoms disappear. My work is for women who want agency over their health, not another expert to outsource it to. Who are willing to speak with and for their body, in full authority. I do not represent a brand or product.
My method to return to our healthy period blueprint is centered around 4 pillars, that I believe make our map of radiance. They are the answers to what I believe pushed our cycle out of balance in the first place.
-
We believe in keeping things simple, smart, and human. Every project starts with listening and ends with something we're proud to share.
-
Integrity, creativity, and empathy shape the way we work. These aren't just words—they’re the foundation of everything we build.
-
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
Spotless Girl Pillars and Values
The menstrual cycle as a map - as our tool to guide ourselves back to radiance rather than a curse or at best an inconvenience.
Root cause healing over symptom suppression - rejecting the quick fixes that silence our bodies and instead choosing actions that have both short and long-term impact.
Reconnecting to the body’s natural intelligence - healing as a reconnection to the body’s innate wisdom rather than an external modification forced on it.
Stress and nervous system regulation as a foundation in health - understanding the impact stress has on the body and using body-based regulation techniques to shift into long-term relief.
Interconnected approach to health - everything is connected in the body. Emotions, thoughts, food, past experiences, etc, are all an important part of our wellbeing. We choose to approach ourselves as a whole, rather than a fractioned piece of puzzle.
Addition over restriction - shifting from the idea of controlling and reducing our unhealthy patterns to giving and nourishing ourselves physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Respect and reverence for nature - understanding that healing is a reconnection to nature and a symbiosis between the living (nature, plants, animals, others) and the living (ourselves).
Personalized healing over one-size-fits-all solutions - Listening and following your unique constitutions and rhythms over blindly following trendy ideas.
Honoring the body’s wisdom and expression - trusting that the body is our most honest storyteller and learning to surf with its wisdom rather than against it.
Redefining womanhood and the menstrual cycle - changing the narrative around menstruation so we can offer our daughters a better experience, where their cycle is their power, not a curse.
We Are a Good Fit If You:
Are not interested in following someone’s strict regimen without understanding how it applies to you and your situation. You want to feel free and empowered in your choices, not limited
Want to learn how your body works so you don’t fall for the trendy wellness ideas that are pushed by uneducated influencers
Crave leaning into your womanhood and reconnect with the parts of you that have been silenced before
Understand that everything is connected, and that your hormones are not just off because of a lack of nutrients, but also because of your emotional state, your stress, your relationship to yourself and to others, and you want to address the wholeness of who you are when it comes to your wellbeing
Are curious about somatic approaches - meaning using tools that are based on the body rather than just the mind and brain
Want to go the natural route - meaning using the miracle of nature, of your body, and of food as your main resources for health and wellness
Are aware that something is fundamentally wrong with the way women are taught to relate to their bodies and health and want to step into a paradigm where your body is not a broken piece that needs fixing, but a partner that needs connection
Are someone that craves authentic sisterhood and connection, where women lift each other up and help transform each other’s lives in love and deep friendship
Feel attracted to a slower and more sustainable pace of life
You can break the barriers!
If you are having a hard time managing your hormones and your cycle, feel like it’s preventing you from living your life to the fullest, and want to take your health into your hands without using too much medicine, then you are in the right place. This is where you start your journey.
