moon map testimonials

I thought I just had “irregular” periods. It turns out, they are actually regular, and come like clockwork, I just have a longer than average (45 day) cycle!  Learning this has helped me heal so much shame and frustration with my cycle and learn how to plan ahead + prepare with compassion and self care during my challenging phases. - Kate W.

I used to have extremely emotional, heavy and painful periods. I’ve learned the more rest I am able to give myself 4 days before my period and the more permission I give myself to feel into the emotional instability I experience during that time, the less intense my periods are. Learning how to observe and honor this wisdom has changed my life. - Cecile R.

Within 3 months of tracking, I saw clear and tangible patterns that were creating disruptions in my life every month. Patterns like fights with my partner, self sabotage and lack of motivation. The Moon Map has helped me communicate with my husband better, learn when I need alone time to process my monthly emotions (hello irritability and rage) and give my body permission to take a break from the hot yoga I that love. - Diane P.

It’s been one of the most transformational tools I’ve found not only to embrace my cycle, but to my surprise, my seasonal depression. It’s taught me to approach my complexity with kindness and curiosity and celebrate my womanhood. - Ali D.

Tracking my cycle has drastically improved my relationship with my creativity, my self worth and my work.  As a Branding Specialist, I deal with a lot of deadlines and I never understood why I was so “ON” sometimes not others. Now I can anticipate my most creative times of the month as well as plan deadlines around my period! - Star K.

By learning how to track my cycle and discovering how much the moon phases affect me, The Moon Map really helped me discover that I’m not actually crazy, I’m just a woman! So often because of my psychic and energetic sensitivities I have felt that there was something wrong with me. I now know that my intuition and sensitivities are amplified during each New Moon and Menstrual Phase and I am learning how to work with these feminine gifts instead of suppressing them. - Alyssa K.

The Moon Map helped me realize my life is not a Tampax Ad! Tracking my moon has helped me stop punishing myself for my needs for self care, rest and alone time. - Marissa M.

Tracking my cycle helped me understand how much sleep I need during my PreMenstrual Phase, and how much that affects not only the quality of my life but also the intensity of my period!  Hands down, if I don’t get enough sleep (9 hours!) my period is more painful. It took me 6 sold moths of tracking to identify this pattern, but once I realized it, it literally changed my life!! - Lara C.

I had no idea that numbing out from my cycle was also numbing me out from my sensuality and sexuality! Healing my relationship with my womb has helped me HEAL AND EXPRESS my feminine embodiment! Thank you for creating The Moon Map and putting all this wisdom in one place! - Ashley T.

Working with my cycle has given me the permission I’ve struggled with to give myself self care.  As a mother, I always guilty for needing to ask for help or treating myself, even when I felt depleted. Learning how to track my phases has improved my relationship (and communication!) with my partner and my ability to give to my kids, because I now know how to give to myself first. - Heather T.

Tracking my cycle gave me the tools to heal sexual abuse and the resulting shame I’ve carried since I was a little girl.  I never realized that certain feelings arose each month to be witnessed or released. Since discovering this awareness and working with healing it, the debilitating pain and intensity of blood flow I used to experience have both decreased significantly. - Anna A.

I started tracking right before I found out I was pregnant. I kept tracking out of curiosity and it was actually really revelatory.  I learned how much my mood and energy was affected by the moon and I was able to ritualize each trimester by working with the moon. My daughter was born 3 months ago and I actually named her Luna! I am still tracking into breastfeeding as it gives me time for self reflection and cues me into what I might need for self care during this new time. - Leah K.

As a professional athlete I felt like I always had to show up and perform at 100% month long. Tracking my cycle and actually listening to my body gave me the courage to stop using tampons and give myself permission to take a break from training during parts of my cycle. Since giving myself self care and rest, the length and severity of my symptoms have drastically decreased improving my strength and stats across the board! - Anonymous

Tracking my cycle helped me heal from my eating disorder and learn how to care for (instead of punish myself for) the changes in my body and mood each month. - Alysse V.

Learning how to work with my cycle has DRASTICALLY improved my sex life and increased intimacy with my partner! Learning about my body has helped me learn how to receive care and nourishment throughout my cycle - as well as not feel angry or shameful for not wanting to have sex during parts of my Premenstrual or Menstrual Phases. - Louisa A.

I can’t take birth control, and this information has really helped me reclaim my body by learning that I can’t get pregnant all month long (why weren’t we ever taught that)?! I feel more confident sexually and don’t worry like I used to! - Lila B.

I’m a body builder, so I don’t bleed, and I don’t want to. But I was drawn to The Moon Map because I wanted to learn how to come home to my femininity and work with the moon. Even though I don’t bleed, working with the moon phases has shown me that my body does follow monthly and seasonal patterns, and I have more energy to lift on the Full Moon as opposed to the New Moon (when I’m generally more tired and experience muscle fatigue more easily). - Christine K.

My wife and I both track our cycles (yes you heard that right).  Learning about each others cycles and our unique needs for nourishment has improved our relationship (and sex life!) exponentially. We couldn’t be more thankful! - Tracee R.

I’m sure this isn’t really the testimonial you imagined you’d get for this guide: but I actually bought this for my wife. She has Bi-Polar Disorder and I was curious about how her changing hormones affected her moods and manic episodes. She has a licensed support team in place, but doesn’t want to take medication (and I don’t blame her), so as an experiment, we started tracking her cycle together, so she could observe herself, and I could also observe and support her. At first she was annoyed, but after the first month, she noticed how beneficial the self awareness was - and I noticed immediate ways I was able to support her more fully. This obviously isn’t a disclaimer, I can’t say if this will help anyone else with mental illness or a behavioral disorder in the same way: but it has drastically helped my wife feel more sane in a world that constantly tells her she is not. So deeply, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you from the both of us. - Matt J.
