Natalie Clarke

I'm a certified health coach (ACC, ICF) and a menstruality mentor with the Red School (2022/25). I also work as a Hawaiian bodyworker, health promoter, spiritual and care companion for the elderly, and occasional photographer.

During the 42 years so far, I've discovered I'm highly-sensitive, an empath, an INTJ, Enneagram 1 sx-sp-so, a Triple Scorpio and have an obsession with flowers and the colour red!​

​

I first came across menstrual cycle awareness (MCA) in 2016 when I became cycle tracking obsessed (or let's say, possessed!). As a private person, whether I wanted it or not, MCA was the catalyst for turning my life inside out.

​

I talk about being in maintenance mode with PMDD.

I believe I have lived with PMDD since my menarche in 1992 aged 11, but given the diagnosis didn't exist until I was in my mid 30s, my journey has mostly been about studying personal development, transforming depression, accepting my high-sensitivity, unmasking neurodiversity and practicing MCA.

Upon learning about PMDD in 2016, I self-diagnosed and now advocate for a strengths based, solution focused and cycle enabling narrative to this health condition. I believe PMDD as a disability exists at the societal level because it is the androcentric world which we have to live in which often creates the personal dysphoria experienced by women.

​

When I'm not religiously mapping my cycle, I enjoy staying active with dance, tennis, cycling, swimming and being a home-maker cooking, baking and crafting.​​
