Hi, I'm Soraya
I'm a Soul Guide, Menstrual Coach and Women's Mentor with a twenty-year immersion in personal development, holistic health, spirituality and menstruality. I guide women in transforming their relationship with their menstrual cycle and introducing them to the empowering gift it is. Through my own journey, I discovered something profound: your cycle isn't just a biological function—it's a pathway to deep healing, self-understanding and remembrance of your unique and beautiful spirit.
The Seeds of Disconnection
At 18, I began taking the contraceptive pill, unaware of its far-reaching impact. Over the next 14 years, I faced mounting health challenges—heart palpitations, digestive problems, loss of libido, depression, and recurring abnormal cervical cells requiring surgery. Like many women, I trusted the medical system, never questioning whether the Pill might be contributing to these issues. No healthcare professional ever suggested this connection. More on this in my article "Hidden Dangers of Hormonal Contraception."
The Breaking Point & Awakening
2017 marked my crossroads: my mental health had plummeted, my physical wellbeing was at its lowest, and my marriage had ended. I made what felt like an impossible decision: to come off the Pill and leave the UK, seeking answers. This choice—to reclaim my natural rhythm—would prove transformative.
The Turning Point: Discovering Menstrual Cycle Awareness
Despite exploring various healing modalities, and having a dedicated meditation and yoga practice, I continued wrestling with extreme mood swings that led me to seriously consider whether I had Bipolar Disorder. Then came the revelation that changed everything: Menstrual Cycle Awareness. Through tracking my cycle, I discovered these emotional highs and lows weren't random—they followed the natural rhythm of my hormones. I wasn't broken—I was cyclical. Within a year of embracing this practice, those intense fluctuations transformed into a balanced flow. The days that once left me in a heap on the floor now passed with ease. Menstrual Cycle Awareness didn't just improve my symptoms—it gave me my life back.
The Deepening
This journey revealed that our menstrual cycles offer a monthly map for optimal living. Each phase brings its own wisdom, from the dynamic energy of ovulation to the sacred power of our bleed. The menstrual phase, in particular, became my greatest teacher—a portal to heightened consciousness and deep knowing. During these days of inner winter, when we naturally turn inward, profound insights and creative visions emerge in the quiet darkness. Through five years of deep practice, I've witnessed how our cycles connect us to something greater than ourselves. The monthly descent into our inner world during menstruation offers a unique opportunity for spiritual communion—a time when the veil between worlds feels thinnest and our intuitive wisdom speaks most clearly. This isn't mystical theory; it's a practical reality I've experienced firsthand and witnessed in countless women who embrace their cyclical nature.
A Greater Purpose
Today's world faces an epidemic of chronic illness, mental health challenges and a disconnection from spirit among women. Through my training with Red School and my own healing and spiritual journey, I've discovered that cycle awareness isn't just about personal wellbeing—it's about reclaiming vital knowledge that has been systematically overlooked by modern healthcare and society.
A Wider Vision
The disconnect from our bodies and natural rhythms has led to much of the exhaustion and fragmentation we see today. What I've discovered aren't mystical secrets—they're practical tools for reconnecting with our innate wisdom and strength. By reconnecting with our bodies' inner wisdom, we not only heal ourselves but also contribute to the healing of our wider communities.
An Invitation
If you're struggling with your cycle, navigating hormonal health challenges, or sensing there must be more to understand about your body's wisdom, know that transformation is possible. I've walked this path from medical confusion to deep understanding, and now I guide other women in discovering their cycle's innate intelligence. Whether your cycle feels like a burden or you're already glimpsing its wisdom, I welcome you here.

The Work of my Heart is the Divine
There are countless experiences that have shaped who I am today, but perhaps the most profound has been my connection to a Universal Energy that exists beyond our understanding. I've been on a decade-long journey seeking my true essence beneath years of societal conditioning and through a series of awakenings, I discovered what Mystics and Sages have long known: that we're all connected to something ineffable, whether we name it God, Great Spirit, Hidden Essence, Buddha Nature, Consciousness or the Divine.
In my FABx Talk, I share my personal path of awakening and remembrance. Our Divine nature is simply the birthright of every sentient being, accessible through awareness and dedicated practice. My own lived experience of this has called me to guide women back to their own deep wisdom and to help them remember who they truly are. When one woman remembers, she creates ripples of awakening that touch families, communities, and ultimately, the collective consciousness of our world.
