From Painful Periods to Power with Lisa de Jong

How are painful periods linked to our traumas? Lisa de Jong is my guest on Wild Flow Podcast, reveals the wisdom of our bodies, and the tools she used to holistically heal chronic pain and tend to our nervous systems in her trauma-informed approach to menstrual cycle coaching. 

As a health coach and educator Lisa works 1:1 with women and leads the globally accredited Professional Training Menstrual Cycle coaching and Facilitation Professional Training, bringing a gentle yet powerful approach to her clients and group, supporting them in the understanding of their body, their nervous system and in relationship to agency and better decision making for recovery. 

Lisa's focus on pain through a really trauma informed approach means that she's really considering what pain is, what it's manifesting from, and what these deeper inner conflicts might be, so she doesn't just help people find relief from their pain, but to do that inner work as well to transform pain into power. 

In this week's episode of Wild Flow Lisa and I had a big beautiful chat about cycle coaching business, pain, trauma and nervous system healing approaches. We chat about:

Lisa's journey from corporate to discovering menstrual cycle awareness and growing a really successful and thriving professional business in the menstrual cycle space and what that was like for her. Her menstrual cycle experiences and her pain, and how she found relief. What pain is, where it originates, how we inherit perceptions that periods are going to be painful. Why Lisa takes a trauma informed approach to her menstrual cycle work and how trauma can be involved in our experience of the menstrual cycle and any challenges and pain that can be coming up. Her top tips for quickly relieving pain, and how to start with the deeper inner dive to transform pain to power long-term. 

This is a really beautiful conversation and it was really lovely to chat to Lisa, and I'm sure that you're going to get so much out of this, whether you live with pain in your cycle or whether you're a coach or a practitioner or a mentor in the menstrual cycle world. Let us know in the comments your experience with pain, what's worked for you, and any questions you have for Lisa! We would love to hear from you.
