EVIDENCE-BASED. CYCLE-AWARE.
How your autonomic nervous system and infradian (monthly) cycle shape your focus, energy, and emotions—week to week.
Move out of the luteal vulnerability window, widen your Window of Tolerance, and build stress resilience that holds all month long.
Evidence-based, body-first practices to restore vagal tone, lift your HRV, and sustain your natural energy—no caffeine crutch required.
Plan your days, weeks, and months around your real energy—not a linear, always-on model built for someone else's body.
Cultivate embodied self-compassion through depletion, stress, and transition—so calm becomes your baseline, not a rare exception.
Trade stimulants and distractions for sustainable energy—and the self-awareness to catch burnout before it catches you.

My third burnout didn't whisper. It arrived as anxiety, insomnia, shingles, and intestinal bleeding—my body forcing the conversation I'd spent years avoiding.
I'd been practicing mindfulness and somatics since I was 19. But for a decade, I poured everything into my startup career—bigger roles, higher stakes, more pressure. On paper, life looked enviable: senior remote leadership, financial success, living abroad. Inside, I was exhausted, anxious, and disconnected from myself.
That third cycle was the turning point. I'd been ignoring everything I knew. So I rebuilt—restoring my nervous system and, for the first time, syncing my life with my cycle instead of fighting it. Everything changed.
Over the past 20 years, I've studied and refined these practices across mindfulness, somatics, yoga, and coaching—and trained as an ICF Professional Certified Coach—helping hundreds of women reclaim their calm, energy, and alignment.
Nervous System Mastery for Women is everything I've learned, distilled into an evidence-based, cycle-aware framework. I created it for the woman I used to be—and I'd be honored to guide you through it.

"The community has been so supportive, so many amazing women from all over the globe! I've learned so much about nervous system and emotional regulation, and how it relates to the female hormonal cycle. The tools I've been provided with are so helpful. During acute stress and overstimulation, I've been able to better down-regulate. I've also had more regulated and more productive days overall, because I'm less frazzled. I'm so glad I took part in the program and can absolutely recommend it!"

"I'm really enjoying NSMfW and getting so much out of it. The level of information is perfect...lots of content but not too much. I love the emphasis on the practices... again with the level of simplicity and clarity making it all doable and sustainable. I'm finding the CALM practice in the morning invaluable."

"I had some previous knowledge about nervous system theory, but the program helped me put all of the different pieces together in one holistic framework for how to understand and work with my body and its evolving needs. The most helpful takeaway has been the daily regulation practices that are curated to different states and phases. It is embedded as an essential part of my toolkit for self-regulation, while ultimately improving my relationship to myself and the trust I feel that I can return to embodied safety, time and time again."

you've got questions
This is the only nervous system program of its kind. Why, you ask?
Other programs are male physiology first. Ours focuses on female physiology. Our bodies and nervous systems function differently. They need to align with our infradian rhythm.
Most programs focus on top-down practices (cognitive reframes, mindfulness, etc.). Ours focuses on body-first practices, complemented by top-down and outside-in practices.
This program is largely experiential—don't worry, we'll still geek out on the science! We focus on experimenting, iterating, and finding what works best for your nervous system and menstrual cycle (= infradian rhythm).
No! Wherever you are in your menstrual cycle is perfect. While the program focuses on the menstrual cycle, you could be on birth control, have started (peri)menopause, or be pregnant (or in post-partum).
What's most important is understanding how female physiology impacts your nervous system differently, so you can meet your body—and hormones—where they're at.
Welcome! This program is an excellent resource for burnout recovery. You'll learn the tools to help heal your nervous system and burnout symptoms. In fact, this is where Rachel started post-burnout, and it has helped hundreds of professionals since.
Please note: If you are in current crisis, this program may not be right for you. We recommend working with a licensed mental health professional first.
Carve out time and energy for weekly materials. To make the most of your experience, plan:
30-45 minutes for theory
30-45 minutes for practice
60 minutes on specific Wednesdays for specialist deep dives
60 minutes on Fridays for cohort live sessions
Want to go deeper? We've curated top picks for reading, watching, and listening related to the curriculum.
While it's not 100% necessary, we highly recommend investing in one before the program. Why? Heart-rate variability (HRV) is the key metric nervous system resilience.
Rachel's favorite wearable is the Oura ring, which tracks your menstrual cycle phases (and pregnancy data), sleep quality, and overall stress resilience. Use this link for a 10% discount.
Each week, we include a blend of geek-out time (theory) and practice (application of theory). The goal is to give you enough context to understand the why behind the practices.
Our cohort live sessions are mainly experiential—no boring lectures here!
Yes! You'll get lifetime access to all course materials and live recordings.
We're still confirming guests, and all deep dives will focus on female-first physiology. We'll cover topics like:
sleep
nutrition
cycle syncing
exercise
female life stages' impact on the nervous system (pregnancy, post-partum, perimenopause, menopause)
Really looking forward to one or want to see other topics? Request it in your application :)
We've created the community because many women have shared feeling alone in this journey. No more! We're stronger together 💗
The online community is the place to ask questions, share experiences, and get the support you need between the live sessions.
Plan for 2-3 hours per week over the 6-week course. This includes:
30-45 minutes for course materials—theory and workbook exercises
30-45 minutes for experimenting with practices
60-minute cohort live sessions on Fridays
If you have additional time, join Wednesday's specialist deep dives for 60 minutes.
Rachel leads the live weekly sessions on Tuesdays at 9am PST. These sessions are optional and recorded, in case you'd like to watch them in your own time.
Yes, of course! Before launching this program, Rachel's 1:1 clients regularly used their company's learning and development budget to pay for it.
Here's a template you can share with your manager or the People team.
Yes, of course! Personalize your experience with private coaching sessions with Rachel. Limited to 5 spots.
What it includes:
6 (six) 1-hour sessions over 3 months
Priority guidance for NS Mastery for Women
Boldly Unbounded signature path on-demand course
A special discount for in-person retreats with Rachel
If you're unable to join the program, you can request a full refund prior to the start date.
After the program begins, we're unable to offer refunds.
an invitation to reclaim cycle-aligned calm
We feel it everywhere—in cultural conditioning, invisible emotional labor, the productivity paradigm, programmed perfectionism, and, yes, even our wellness tools.
But our nervous systems move differently. Sense differently. Shift differently. They're cyclical—not just daily, but monthly.
Yet the gaps persist. Gaps in research. Gaps in vocabulary. Gaps in the tools we've been handed. Why are we still being offered cycle-blind solutions built for male physiology?
My mission is to give you what you've been missing: a way to understand how your nervous system and female rhythms shape your focus, your emotions, your energy—and the tools designed for your body, your emotions, your cycles.
To help you own your energy, your emotions, and your connection with yourself and others.
Because when we do that, we don't just change our own lives. We redesign the world for more equity, connection, and healing. We shift the paradigm.
You can't design a life you love while your nervous system is stuck in overdrive. So let's start there. Regulate your nervous system, and a life you love becomes possible—from the inside out.
I'd love for you to join me on this adventure of becoming who you're meant to be.
