Endometriosis is really what started my journey
I always find myself saying on my podcast, clients, friends, new people etc., that my journey started 3 years ago, but that simply is not true. Our journey starts from the day we are born, but I REALLY start to become conscious due to my Endometriosis.
From my first ever period, I always had extreme pain. With this monthly pain would come nausea, headaches, fainting, losing feeling in my legs, not just for the first day but for a few of them.
I remember being sent home every month while in school, it was always really embarrassing, especially when you would go to the doctors and they tell you “pop two nurofen (or Feminax), it is normal to have pain”, so eventually, I started to supress what I was feeling and just “got on with it”….
Things only got worse with time, I ended up on the pill at 18 when away at university, along with 2 nurofen & 2 paracetamol every 2 to 4 hours just to be able to make it to class- this was at ANY time during my cycle not just when I had my period. It was awful.
Eventually, I had a laparoscopy, where they couldn’t remove the Endo due to my inflammation being too bad. I was informed that the only way to “cure “me was either a hysterectomy or getting pregnant- I was 23!
Needless to say, I told the medical system where they could shove that idea.
From that day onwards, my journey start, I began researching endometriosis from a Holistic approach, I began looking after my nutrition (albeit to an extreme- that is another blog in itself), exercising, came away from hormonal contraception and reading EVERYTHING I could on women’s bodies, contraception & sexuality- I highly recommend ‘Untrue’ by Wednesday Martin.
It wouldn’t be for another few years before I realised why I was so drawn to all these books, podcasts and papers etc.
Through working with my womb space, menstrual cycle, nutrition, energetic, trauma & movement, I have been able to fully free myself of the “burden” I felt on a monthly basis.
I stopped resenting my cycle and now I LOVE getting my period!! It makes me so happy when it begins because I honour & revere it now. My relationship with my body & womb has changed so drastically that I wish I could just bottle it up and send it to EVERY woman on the planet.
It can be so disheartening when I heard a beautiful goddess say “Ugh, my period arrived today”
I want to help us change that as a collective, I want women to befriend their Womb Space & menstrual cycle.
In my Human Design (again- another blog to come), I realised that the purpose I had felt was truly engrained within me. I am here to be a Leader.
What am I going to Lead?
I want to help lead the collective back home to our bodies, to love ourselves FULLY.
How am I going to “do” this?
By leading through my own example, by living my life through love, connection, joy and truth.
One part of this, will be leading beautiful women back home to their womb space, their desire, sexuality, sensuality & portal of creation. Through this building a gorgeous community where we can hold, witness, hear and love one another unconditionally.
So why not join me?
All of my offerings include cycle syncing, community, joy & guidance.
Sending you all my love
Niamh
