You will need a computer with speakers, microphone and webcam, a printer and a good broadband connection. We will use a very easy-to-use program called Whereby, which does not require any download or registration. Most convenient, the link never changes! You just click on the link we send you at the agreed time, put in your name when prompted (just as you would say your name when we answer the door) and knock.

Tickets already bought cannot be reimbursed. This is because the organizer based the feasibility of holding the event on the number of pre-sales. You can transfer your ticket to a friend though, please send us an email with the name and contact details of your friend, in case we need to send out updates or emergency communication.

Despite minor differences, men and women share most cycles, and most of their cycles are identical. Cycles that men and women share are sleep, circadian rhythm, breath, digestion, and many more. Therefore, our content is highly relevant across sex and age.

Our founder Anna is based in Berlin (Germany) and travels internationally. Please note that the following rates only apply to private citizens.

If the location is not in the same town as the nearest landing airport, and the location cannot be reached by public transport, the host should arrange for safe private transport, including the return trip.
• License for printing the workbook (printing is a responsibility of the host). The licensing cost ranges start at €3 per participant, depending on the topic and length of the workshop. Our licence only gives the host the right to print the exact number of workbooks, one per participant, for the agreed event, until the day of the event. No other rights are granted.

In addition to the above, the following services are not included in the price because private citizens often organize workshops for their circle of friends only. As such the event is private and not advertised.

• Creation of the flyer to promote the event.
• Dissemination and promotion of the event on Studio Medulla’s social media, website and newsletter.

No contraceptive method is perfect. Finding the right type of contraception is a highly individual business, and much depends on bio-individuality, lifestyles, expectations, relationships, body literacy, willingness to participate or delegate, etc.

We are for informed choice. Free choice does not exist unless it is informed. Freedom follows awareness.

We question the assumption that synthetic hormones regulate periods, or treat menstrual problems, or that they work to the substantial benefit of women’s health and society; we are concerned that the effects on the female brain and personality have been neglected so far; however, we recognize the importance to have a varied choice in terms of contraception and the “pill” is part of that variety.

If you suffered from menstrual pain or disorders, and you were given the “pill” to solve them, you need to know that the pill does not cure or treat anything. It suppresses the symptoms and leaves the pre-existing imbalance untouched, in the best-case scenario, or free to get worse, in the worst-case scenario.

You can read “How the pill changes everything” by Dr. Sarah Hill or watch her Tedx Talk to learn more about the effects of the pill on your brain and personality, and the potential impact it has on society.

We cannot interpret temperature values which have not been measured with symptothermal rules.

If you do use these rules, and you need interpreting, you can purchase one-hour consultation here and send us the chart via email prior to our session (please send them at least two working days before the session).
If you do not use symptothermal rules, we regret we cannot interpret your charts. This is because we work with a precise scientific method when it comes to charting biomarkers. Differences in method may result in invalid data, and we cannot interpret it.

In our shop you can buy our e-book on how to take your basal body temperature according to symptothermal rules, so we are on the same page! We can then help you make the most from your data via 1:1 sessions.

Infertility is usually defined as the inability to get pregnant after six months of well-timed sexual intercourse during peak fertility days (until the age of 35) or after twelve months for those over the age of 35. If you do not know your peak fertility days, you can buy our e-book from our online shop on cervical mucus, it is very easy to understand and implement!

If you do know your fertile window, but you still cannot get pregnant and your partner’s semen is healthy, we consider and address unexplained infertility as a possible combination of three factors:

• Lack of proper body and mind literacy
• Internal and external stressors
• Hormonal imbalances

We address these factors in our programme “Help me restore my wellbeing” or the Sensiplan® training.

It really depends on what topic you are interested in. One comprehensive book does not exist, yet. Our research includes over two thousand articles, books and essays, and most are not specific to the menstrual cycle.
