Tamra MerciecaPodcastLeave a Comment

We all have mixed relationships and feelings about menstruation. But what if we treated our monthly flow as a time where we got to retreat from the world, so we can rest, restore and replenish?

Nothing works for me! Ever thought this thought, or said these words out loud? If there’s one thing that people say to me it’s this: I’ve done stacks of self-development, but nothing works for me.

Dissolve your fibroids, naturally.

Tamra MerciecaUncategorizedLeave a Comment

If there’s one health complaint I hear from women regularly, it’s that they’ve been diagnosed as having fibroids. Some women might only have one or two, while others might have literally dozens of them.

Journalling vs. Tuning In: What’s the difference?

Tamra MerciecaMental HealthLeave a Comment

Journalling is a beautiful, and ridiculously cheap way of processing challenges and traumas and simply making sense of life. I consider journalling like emptying out the mind-trash that drains our energy, keeps us in an anxious state and stops us from being able to sleep at night. Because that’s essentially what it is. You get a pen and blank journal … Read More

The spiritual power of menstruation

Tamra MerciecaSexual Health10 Comments

Let me start by saying… Menstruation is not a curse. Menstruation is not a royal pain in the backside, or an inconvenient interruption to our life. Menstruation is our wise-time.

What tampons are doing to your womb

Tamra MerciecaSexual Health4 Comments

Tampons. They’re convenient. But are they healthy? No. Even the natural ones are doing harm to your uterus.
