About Me
Menstrual Educator and Wellbeing Practitioner working at the intersection of health, equity and systems change
Hello, I’m Paige
I’m passionate about making menstrual health and cycles more understood, more accessible and more affirming.
I’m a Qualified Menstrual Coach and Certified Menstrual Practitioner (IICT), hold an MSc specialising in the environmental psychology of wellbeing, and have professional training in polyvagal trauma recovery, personal training, meditation facilitation and holistic practice.
I have over 13 years of experience across the charity, health and education sectors working with organisations such as TLC: Talk, Listen, Change, NHS, The University of Leeds, One Manchester, MS Society, Black Equity Organisation and Versus Arthritis.
In 2024, I Co-Founded The Alternative – Manchester’s LGBTQ+ run wellbeing studio for women and the wider LGBTQ+ community and we proudly work with organisations such as the LGBT Foundation, Not A Phase and Misfits.
I help people understand their cycles and reconnect with their natural rhythms, support organisations to approach menstrual health with greater awareness and confidence, and hold space in communities for education, connection and embodied practice.
I don’t see menstrual health as a niche issue.
I see it as an essential part of wellbeing, inclusion and sustainable participation.
Why this work matters
Menstrual health is relevant to at least 51% of the population.
Roughly 13 million people are currently going through perimenopause or menopause, Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and 69% of people say that menstruation symptoms negatively affect them at work.
Diagnosis for menstrual conditions can be up to 9 years, and often more.
So many people are living with symptoms - but without answers, or support. At the same time, most people are still never properly taught how the menstrual cycle works, what is normal, or how hormones, pain, stress and the nervous system can interact.
People deserve better information, better support, and a more compassionate way of understanding themselves.
Why it matters to me
I spent years doing everything “right”, but behind the scenes my body was struggling.
After a significant health scare, I was eventually diagnosed with Stage 4 Infiltrative Endometriosis.
I decided to learn about my body in a different way, align with my natural rhythms and heal my symptoms.
Now I help others to the same.
My Approach
My work is grounded in affirmative, inclusive and trauma-informed practice.
I care deeply about creating spaces that feel safe, respectful and accessible, particularly for those who have been overlooked, dismissed or expected to fit into one-size-fits-all models of health and wellbeing.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and someone who has worked across diverse, community-led spaces for many years, I bring an approach that is rooted in equity and compassion.
Health is shaped not just by the body, but by stress, trauma, identity, environment and the wider systems we live within.
How can I help?
I support both individuals and organisations, which includes corporates, charities and smaller community groups.
