I am Toyah Coogan, Menstruality Mentor.
I completed Red Schools Menstruality Leadership Programme in 2021 and am now unleashed in the world to help support you with you own menstruality journey.
Menstruality? What is it and why it's important:
Simply put, menstruality is the process of noticing yourself, and how you respond to the happenings within your own cycles in your life, and noticing how you and your energy shift and change throughout your menstrual month, this is also called 'menstrual cycle awareness'.
I offer mentoring, using the tools and wisdom I learnt at Red School, to gently help guide you into your own menstrual awareness, to encourage a sense of clarity and deeper understanding of yourself at the different phases of your menstrual cycle. I have been tracking my own menstrual cycle and gaining personal awareness since 2019 and cycle day tracking for over a decade.
I am passionate about periods and all things menstrual in our beautiful world of cycles and spirals. Once I began noticing my own cycles, I saw how they linked in with how the earth Herself cycles and moves through phases. I felt the connection.
I believe that menstruality wisdom is our birthright, and we all deserve to know it and have access to it. Iām passionate about sharing this wisdom, well actually, supporting you to remember it for yourself. I know its in there.
I co-facilitate a Red Tent Circle for women in my community, where we come together in acknowledgment and reverence of our natural monthly cycles. Within this circle of women, we explore not only our menstrual cycles and monthly changes, but so many aspects of being a woman and encourage the expression of all of it.
I'm here to guide you to know yourself on a deeper level though your own menstruality and unique cycle.
