explore the layers of your flesh, feminine nature, and the elemental landscapes
Nicole Pineau
I believe the root of liberated womanhood is body literacy. I support women to harmonize with and integrate their natural cycle. Using the tools of de-conditioning, original health modalities and herbalism, and cyclic alignment, I offer mentorship and somatic rites of passage so you and your daughters can live informed by your cyclic and elemental nature. My training in somatic experiencing, Ayurveda, folk herbalism, The Vedas, TCM, yoga and yoga nidra inform my approach.
BODY - SOMA
The feminine cycle is not just a physical phenomena. It is a helix of shifting potential. The body is matter, consciousness formed. The body is a multi-dimensional system and a container of subtle energy. The body communicates through "symptoms" or "sensations". Female Body Literacy is a felt relationship that is your responsibility. Being in relationship with your cycle and living in harmony with its flow is ecological well being work.
THE FEMININE
Women - the functions of our systems are a series of potential. This is the elemental core of my work.
How the woman’s life cycle is a spiral. From girlhood, to menarche, through menstruation, birthing/creating, lactating/feeding, post-partum, perimenopause, menopause, and crone-hood. Each day is also amidst a spiral of energetic access in measurement of the internal tidal cycle — which is in communication and thus influence with the lunar.
Time is a living field and for women measured by a repetition of cycles (a helix, a spiral). Each circulation akin to the prior and the coming.
​
The female cycle is an expression of oracle (however you interpret that). Let your inner currents serve as guide.
ELEMENTAL LANDSCAPE
We are kin to the landscape around us.
Your inner currents are of those from the elemental rhythms external of you.
My approach to female body literacy is woven worlds. The textures of within are a reflection of the without. A Rite of Passage is never without the landscape, the earth, the elements.
Blood isn’t without water. Digestion isn’t without fire. Breath isn’t without air. Bone isn’t without earth.
This female body literacy is elemental substance.

My work is devoted to the innate perceptivity within all that lives and the alignment to the nature world’s currents that we feed and are fed by.
