Description

Welcome to Oh My Menses: A digital space dedicated to menstruality, periods, hormones + cycle-informed living. Join me, Karinda (BHSc Naturopath, Fertility Educator + Owner of Karinda Wholistix), as we explore these sacred feminine mysteries & nature's wisdom. From stories of menarche, birth control, and common period problems to menstrual shame, sex, fertility and the moon. If it's about the human female experience, I'll probably talk about it. This is a place of sharing, remembering, learning; unlearning; where we come together and reclaim our cyclical power.
