Welcome! I'm Soraya.
I'm a Women's Coach and Menstrual Mentor, and I advocate that a healthy menstrual cycle is the foundation of a woman’s physical, psychological and spiritual well-being. I teach women how their body’s natural, cyclical rhythm can empower them to make informed decisions about their health and well-being, and how it serves as a portal to heightened states of consciousness. I love being the 'witness' of remembrance in women because there is no greater gift than a woman return to herself.
My Menstrual Journey
At 18, I started taking hormonal contraception, unaware of how it could affect my health and well-being. For 14 years, I battled with digestive issues, cervical dysplasia, mental health issues, suicidal feelings, and a range of other ailments, feeling like a stranger in my own body. When my marriage ended in 2017, I hit rock bottom, grasping for a lifeline to rediscover myself.
That lifeline came in the form of leaving the UK to explore alternative healthcare. Three years of soul-searching, meditation, and yoga followed, but still, I dealt with erratic mood swings that felt like a rollercoaster ride to nowhere. At times, because the highs and lows felt so extreme, I questioned if I might be suffering with a condition like Bipolar Disorder.
Then, I found Menstrual Cycle Awareness. Tracking my cycle unveiled a hidden rhythm to my emotions, aligning perfectly with the ebb and flow of hormonal energy. With this newfound insight, I embraced daily self-care rituals, nurturing a deeper connection with my body, mind, and spirit.
Within a year, the intense highs and lows melted into a serene equilibrium, and I found sustained peace within myself. It was as if Cycle Awareness had breathed new life into my existence, a revelation that extended beyond my own healing. I would often say to my Menstrual Mentor that I felt like Cycle Awareness had given me my life back.
I find that my menstrual cycle serves as a portal to heightened states of consciousness, particularly during my bleed. It symbolises creation and renewal, bridging the gap between the spiritual and material worlds. As a result, women are inherently equipped with a unique spiritual journey that I engage with on a daily basis.
As I delved deeper, I unearthed the truth about hormonal contraception and its impact on female health. My past struggles, I realised, were not inherent flaws but the consequences of taking synthetic hormones and external toxicity that I was allowing into my temple. With this understanding, I became an advocate for Women's Health and Cycle Awareness.
