Health Counseling

Women’s


Holistic Women’s Health Counseling

Looks at your health and well being through the lens of a woman’s body, life view, and unique emotional and mental experience. It is designed to give you more confidence in yourself and in your ability to shift your health & well-being.

This is done through medically accurate body education, accessible daily wellness practices, and tools for emotional awareness and healing.

How you feel about your cycle is just as important as what you eat throughout the month.

We are not taught as women to be in our bodies. We are not taught to love them or interact with them in a neutral, or positive, or pleasurable way. We are not taught how to truly care for them on all levels.

I see that most women are struggling with symptoms and conditions that stem from a combination of a lack of connection to their bodies and emotions, a lack of understanding about what is physiologically happening in the menstrual cycle and connecting systems, and a lack of education and knowledge about how to care for themselves and their hormones.

I believe we can be in relationship and experience with ourselves that is balanced, celebratory, and truthful. We can have a reciprocal experience of love and care with our bodies and cycles.

There is nothing wrong, shameful, or gross about the menstrual cycle or the female body.

Based in Holistic Nutrition, Ayurveda, Herbal Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, and Energy Healing and Emotional Mindfulness, Women’s Health Counseling is one on one individualized holistic care for reproductive, menstrual, and women’s health.

Because the systems of the body are a web, we touch on many systems of the body that contribute to hormone health and well-being such as endocrine and liver health, blood sugar & digestion, daily routine, and emotional and mental well-being and selfcare.

Women’s Health Counseling is designed to address the many levels of holistic health that women experience, face, and struggle with.

No two people are the same, and no two menstrual cycles are the same. This work reflects the unique constitution and picture we all bring to our health and healing journey.

If the days before you start your period are an emotional roller coaster or you feel wiped out for days after you stop bleeding, there are things for us to talk about.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

  • “Zara is an absolute fountain of knowledge when it comes to women's reproductive health. I truly believe every woman should have the opportunity to work with Zara so they can more closely understand and attune to their own bodies and cycles.”

    KELSEY MECH, CERTIFIED COUNSELOR

  • "All in all, Zara helped me be a more mindful person, in every aspect of my life. I'm so grateful to Zara for her teachings, her care and thoughtfulness, and her friendship.”

    ARIANA SANTANA

  • “Zara understands that small steps make for big wins and lasting changes. Her nutritional guidance, emotional support and suggestions for physical activities have helped me so much. I went from thinking I was a night owl, incapable of keeping any routine and zero desire to move my body, to someone who gets to bed earlier, takes vitamins daily, and checks in with herself.

    ARIANA SANTANA

  • “Zara applies a talented blend of knowledge, intuition, and insight in her counsel and support in working with women to deepen their awareness of their cycles and healthcare practices.  Her approach is holistic and integrative. 

    HEATHER LUTZ

  • "Learning how to assess, understand, and work with my cycle has been both empowering and grounding me into a deeper connection with my body.  Through this work with Zara, I've been able to cultivate an appreciation of how my body is connected to the cycles of nature and Her exquisite intelligent design to which I naturally belong."
