I Have Trust Issues With Period Pain Tips - You Probably Do Too

If you’re anything like me, you already Googled “What is a Period Doula?” and found zero information about it. A while ago, I spent some time looking for a Period Doula Course that I could take and wasn’t surprised that it didn’t exist. After I realized it wasn’t a thing, I put the work in and created something I could have used as a teen – more on that here. Fearless Periods began so women of all ages can experience support during menstruation in a natural and effective way full of trust and connection.

“You want me to trust that this thing you made up works?” 🙈Yeah, kinda.

Doctors told me that if I took birth control and painkillers it would fix the issues I had… it only made it worse. I’ve heard all kinds of things from people who genuinely thought they knew best, and I tried those things in desperation for relief but was met with disappointment. So I get it, trusting anyone who tells you anything about periods is scary. 

Let’s start slow, don’t commit to jumping in and getting your hair wet unless you’re ready – because restarting your hair routine for no reason is a pain 💁🏼‍♀️. Close your eyes and imagine this… KIDDING! Keep those eyes open 👀 and keep reading! Imagine you’ve done an educational session with your Period Doula, you’ve got all the info needed to have a Fearless Period and your Doula knows your period is coming because you messaged her about it the other day - she’s ready to help at any moment. Your period starts and the pain begins, it interrupts your thoughts and your activities, you need some help – you don’t want to be alone. You reach out to your Period Doula for help, and she comes to you and provides In-Person Support that enables you to relax your body and enter a state of rest through breathing techniques, massage, natural pain relief products and other methods that reduce your pain levels without the use of medication. She stays as long as you want her to. You trust her, she’s a friend and she knows your pain…

She’s me. Hi, I’m Briona, creator of Fearless Periods, a natural pain relief method designed for women who experience period pain - designed for women like me and you.

Did you know that 1 in 8 women experience period pain? Did you also know that 1 in 10 women have endometriosis? YIKES, THAT’S A LOT! And yet, we aren’t given many options for pain relief except for painkillers and birth control (which usually do more harm to our bodies than good). I would have signed up for Period Support if it was a thing when I was young and suffering alone. I actually use these methods that I teach every time I have a period whether it’s mild or crippling pain. Just last year I began successfully managing my period pain using natural methods of pain relief. It still amazes me that I can have a period without taking medication.

Take this easy (and affordable) first step toward experiencing supported periods: attend a Fearless Periods Group Session.

I require that my clients attend a Fearless Period Class before Virtual or In-Person Support is provided. You’ll learn exactly what causes period pain and how to interrupt it. You’ll also learn many tips and tricks that will relieve pain before you even call for help. Taking the class is like sitting at the edge of the pool with your legs in the water, you still have time to decide if you want to jump in and get your hair wet (or commit to In-Person and Virtual Support), in the meantime, it’s refreshing to learn about supporting your body – like putting your feet in cool water on a hot day! Great, now we’re all dreaming of summertime! ☀️🏝

You can take a Fearless Periods Session in the following ways: 1) Book a one-on-one class with me. 2) Book a family session where you and your household can learn about Period Support and how they can help to support you through your pain. This is a great option if more than one person in your family experiences period pain. 3) Come to a group event (this is the most inexpensive way to attend a session). 4) Gather a group of friends together and do a private group session with your girlfriends… and boy friends too – you choose who comes!
