Sabiduría cíclica
About me
I like to listen and to accompany. I've done it for years through social work, and along the way I found that I too needed to learn to listen to myself.
That search led me to art therapy and the Gestalt approach, which taught me to trust what I feel and give it shape. Yoga and meditation are with me every day: they help me stop, breathe and come back to my body.
Now I'm training in menstrual education. The more I learn, the more I'm moved by everything our cycle knows and tells us, and the more I want to share it with you.
That's how this corner was born: a simple, close place to get to know your cycle, care for yourself with plants and movement, and meet other women who are also learning to listen to themselves.
Thank you for being here. Come whenever you like and stay as long as you need.

Talks about a humane, feminist gynaecology. If you only watch one, make it this one.
Dra. Laia Sánchez (in Spanish)
A calm conversation about a more humane, integrative gynaecology: one that listens to you, explains things and looks at your whole body. It's the talk that has helped us most.
Every cycle you get a letter: the date of the next circle, a seasonal recipe or infusion and an idea to go with your cycle. The letters are written in Spanish.
Sharing generously is one of our values: it is what makes us sisters.
