What if we were taught.. Understanding the Menstrual Cycle with Paige Waters – A Holistic Breakdown of the Four Phases

Together, we explore the four distinct phases of the cycle through both a physiological and emotional lens, helping you understand what’s really going on in your body, mind, and spirit each month.
