I’m considered one of Australia’s trusted guides for cyclical education. My pioneering courses are the world’s first to offer accredited menstrual cycle and natural fertility educator certifications to set a new benchmark for professional education in this field.
From corporate boardrooms to intimate podcast studios, I bring the same depth and authenticity to meet audiences with practical guidance wrapped in ancient knowledge. Through corporate wellness coaching, speaking and training, I help businesses and individuals reimagine how workplaces acknowledge and benefit from the cyclical nature of human energy.

Corporate & Workplace FAQs
What is menstrual-cycle education, and why does it belong at work?
It’s evidence-based training that explains hormonal phases, common cycle symptoms, and cycle-aware productivity strategies. Because up to 90% of menstruating staff report cycle-related symptoms affecting work, education reduces absenteeism, presenteeism and supports greater inclusion.
How does understanding the menstrual cycle improve productivity, wellbeing, and culture?
Employees learn to align high-focus tasks with follicular/ovulatory peaks, schedule recovery during luteal phases (when the brain is more creative, solution-focussed and highly attuned to complete tasks) and access symptom-management resources, reducing presenteeism and boosting morale. Studies show cycle-friendly policies increase retention and psychological safety, not to mention an all round better working environment.
What topics are covered in corporate sessions?
Core modules include: cycle physiology 101, debunking PMS myths, menstruation-positive language, symptom ergonomics, natural vs hormonal contraception cycles, and policy templates.
We want to be inclusive, how do you address gender diversity and colleagues who don’t menstruate?
All sessions use gender-neutral language (“people who menstruate”), explain why inclusion matters, and offer parallel content on hormonal health for non-menstruators. Some small-group programs are physiology-specific and clearly labelled. On request, I can also design custom programs for small groups based on your specific needs and requirements.
Is this relevant only to female-focused industries?
No. Any organisation with menstruating staff, from manufacturing and tech to finance, gains productivity and wellbeing benefits.
Can the material be tailored for leadership, HR, or DEI teams?
Yes. We offer executive briefings, HR policy workshops, and DEI roundtables, details on the Corporate page.
Do you provide one-off workshops, ongoing programs, or consulting?
All three: 90-minute keynotes, multi-week learning sprints, workshop staff professional development days and policy consulting. See “Work With Me – Speaking & Training” for formats.

Schools and Tertiary Institutions menstruation education
More than menstruation education, it’s empowerment to last a lifetime.
Period-related issues affect more than 90% of young women under 25 and have a measurable impact on attendance, concentration, and participation in school or university
In Australia, students miss an average of six days of school per year due to their period, with First Nations students missing up to ten days.
Young people deserve accurate, shame-free education about menstrual cycles that goes beyond basic biology.
When schools embrace cyclical education, students develop healthy relationships with their bodies from the start.
This work creates confident young menstruators who understand their natural rhythms, reduced absenteeism during periods, and a generation equipped to make informed decisions about their reproductive health throughout their lives.
In practice this looks like:
Parent information sessions to align home and school messaging around periods
Staff wellbeing sessions recognising that educators also benefit from understanding their own cycles.
Curriculum development support to embed cyclical health into broader wellbeing programs
Student workshops that combine menstrual health education with body autonomy and cyclical awareness
Teacher training sessions to build confidence in discussing periods openly and supportively
Whole-school approaches that create menstrual-friendly policies and environments
Jema is full of life and vibrancy and immediately puts yourself and the students at ease about normalising a topic which some find quite uncomfortable. She frames the discussion in such a way you can’t help but leave the session feeling positive and empowered. The time of the month certainly has a new spin on it from our perspective.
