Stasha Washburn

Hi there! I’m Stasha. I spent the first 20 years of my menstruating life HATING my period.

It was so painful that I threw up for days from the pain. I would break out in a cold sweat, shaking so badly I couldn’t stand. I often passed out right before my period, imagine explaining that in high school…

As for PMS… The mood swings were in control not me. It was horrific.

I was on Birth Control and Narcotics in high-school. That’s how bad it was. No more.

I’m on this planet to End The TABOO. So no girl has to be embarrassed and lie about getting her period. So no woman needs to buy an ‘easy to conceal’ anything. So a woman can walk down the street and say ‘hey, I’m in my luteal phase, can I bum some chocolate?’ and the women around her will say ‘goddess, yes!!! I’ve got two kinds!’.

There is POWER IN YOUR PERIOD!

Steena teaches women how to TURN ON their inner High Priestess to shift their lives out of victimhood and reign in their feminine glory.

Steena’s journey from good-little girl to embodied High Priestess required her to release shame, perfectionism, and self-sabotage to deeply own her power and voice.

Through healing her spirituality, sexuality, and letting her true identity shine Steena has learned the art of living (and working) in alignment with her sacred, sexy soul and holding a playful, irreverent reverence for all things holy.

Kimberley Schroder

Kimberley went from being surprised and somewhat exasperated to get her period every month, to accurately predicting its start with joy and excitement, as well as knowing when she’s in each of the 4 stages of her cycle and planning accordingly to aid in living a life she loves. Starting Natural Flow, her sustainable menstrual practices & coaching business, has been quite the journey. Coming from her traditional environmental activist background, Kimberley majored in Sustainable Development at Cornell University and started to connect gender and reproductive rights/health to environmental issues like toxic home products, disproportionate climate change effects, & the wide-ranging benefits of girls’ education and women’s empowerment for the whole community. From bringing youth reproductive rights/health advocates to UN Climate Change Conferences, to living in a nonviolence immersion program where she focused on reproductive justice, Kimberley circumnavigated the world as well as dove inward in search of her authentic contribution. One day, in a community conversation, it clicked: the sustainable menstrual practices she’d been talking about for years as an interesting side-tangent, could be the focus of her own business! Having never previously thought she’d be an entrepreneur, Kimberley knew she’d need systems, tools, and a community of support to go past the inevitable challenges that would arise as she jumped off the small business cliff, so she attended the Thriving Changemaker Intensive (which along with Vipassana meditation and studying in Senegal has been one of the seminal and long-term-impact experiences of her life) and started working with a coach from the program. Just last year, she realized that her passion business and this ‘coaching world’ that had been supporting her professionally and personally for years could be combined together (it really is all connected!) and Kimberley is now training to be an ICF-certified coach, specializing in coaching around our relationship to our body and menstrual cycle. Kimberley’s personal health journey includes chronic pain in her hands/wrists/arms and pelvic pain, as well as generally being disconnected from her body related to past and ancestral trauma. Reconnecting to and listening to her body and its wisdom (and discovering her authentic adult self) is one of the great wonders of her life, and she is thrilled and humbled get to support others on their path of self-discovery and fulfilment.
