influence of the cycle
Where you are in your cycle influences how you are showing up each day. Period Reality believes that embracing your cycle can empower you to show up feeling your best self.
The FouR phases
Each of the four phases of the menstrual cycle, represents a unique blend of physical, emotional and spiritual experiences, needs and preferences. The power of understanding the four phases unlock the potential you have within.
“Gender equity is not creating space for 50% of the population to fit into a men’s mould. It is changing the way society operates, creating space for all genders to reach their full potential.”
By partnering with Period Reality, universities can demonstrate a commitment to holistic well-being, gender equity and inclusivity. This collaboration not only benefits the individual members of the university community but also contributes to the institution’s reputation as a forward-thinking and socially responsible educational institution.
