Testimonials

After spending a year creating a podcast about period cramps, I thought I knew all there was to know about my own cycle. But this class completely blew my mind - there was so much I didn't know, or had incomplete information on. This class changed my relationship to my body fundamentally - instead of being frustrated by changes in my cycle or symptoms, I now understand what my body is trying to tell me, what it needs for support, and why these changes might be happening. Kate's approach to teaching this method of cycle tracking is thorough, empathetic, and wholistic. I highly recommend it!

Highly recommend this course for anyone looking to deepen their relationship to their menstrual cycles. It's empowering to tune in to your own rhythms without the use of predictive apps or gadgets and get in touch with patterns on lunar time. Kate is such a passionate and generous teacher who perfectly imparts her wisdom in a digestible way. Truly the fairy godmother we all needed at menarche.

Working with Kate to understand and map my cycle gave me an education I didn't know I was missing.  The four-class Zoom course went broad and deep with its information.  I felt supported by Kate's warmth, patience, knowledge, and enthusiasm, as well as by the other people in the course.  Questions were encouraged, and it felt powerful to collectively come to a greater understanding of our cycles.  Following the course, the one on one sessions with Kate truly brought the practice of cycle charting home for me.  Kate prompted intentionality with each session, encouraged me through my doubts and questions, and celebrated my deepening understanding of my body.  I loved that she sent an email summary of what we'd discussed, complete with links and information, after each session, and checked in periodically between our meetings.  I felt such care and attention from her, and as a result I have a solid practice of cycle charting that I can continue on my own, through the coming stages of my life.   I spent 17 years on the birth control pill, largely ignorant of my natural cycle.  Observing my body's patterns through cycle charting has felt like uncovering the magic that's been happening this whole time.  It's been thrilling!

Kate’s course gifted me with immense confidence in tracking my cycle. She is incredibly knowledgeable on all things FAM and always made sure we circled back to my intentions. As a non-binary person, it was deeply affirming to be in a course that uses gender neutral language for anatomy and menstration processes. I highly recommend working with Kate for anyone wanting to get more intimate with their cycle."

I cannot recommend Earth Body School's cycle tracking course more highly! This program was one of the most illuminating, life-changing experiences of my adult life, and I cannot believe I went most of my life without understanding the basic tenets of my hormonal and reproductive cycles. Kate is a generous, attentive, and patient teacher; providing multiple 1:1s sessions with students over many months, so students get the chance to analyze their charts with Kate in real time. I feel much more confident, empowered, and informed thanks to this Earth Body Course— it has truly revolutionized my relationship to my body and my cycles. Thank you Earth Body School!

Working with Kate on my cycle tracking practice was a wonderful experience. I appreciate the space she held for me to grow and learn, through her wisdom and compassion I felt more motivated to deepen into my practice and simplify my life so that I can listen and respect the wisdom of my body.

Thanks to the intimacy of my one-on-one sessions with Kate I was able to have supported and informative time to dedicate to think about and center my unique cycle, something that I have not been able to do on my own time, thank you Kate!

I know this is a practice that will always be with me through the stages of my life. Kate is in incredibly patient, insinuative, and dedicated facilitator/guider/educator. Her passion for this subject drove me to dedicate even more to the practice…I have a learning disability and I felt that the way material was offered and shared that I could really learn and grow. it wasn't overstimulating. there was no information that didn't matter and all lessons were driven by passion and compassion
