The menstrual-ovulatory cycle is a “Fifth Vital Sign” for anyone who is cycling.

Throughout the cycle, hormonal fluctuations affect everything from energy levels and sleep patterns to pain sensitivity and emotional well-being.

The cycle can also tell us about a person’s local ecosystem, such as how they are processing endocrine disruptors and stress.

It’s an important window into understanding clients holistically - and a healthy cycle is a marker for your client’s overall vitality, whether or not you want to conceive.

This class is NCCAOM®-approved for 16 CEUs and provides licensed acupuncturists with continuing education credit.

We were in the same place before we started our cycle literacy education! Menstrual health is widely seen as taboo, and we hope that this course gives you the confidence and clarity to normalize cycle conversations.

We’ll practice some of these conversation in this course. We offer sample scripts and other ideas to start.

Cycle literacy is a lifelong practice, but you can start with small steps today!

While live attendance is strongly encouraged, classes will be recorded and sent to registered participants. Recordings will be available for 30 days after the class date.

You will not learn how to track your own cycle in this course.

However, this class will provide some a informational overview of the benefits that cycle charting offers you and your clients.

If you’re interested in learning to track your own cycle to go deeper in this work, check out our CycleSense course.
