WOMEN’S HEALTH COUNSELING

One on One Women’s Health Counseling that is spiritually grounded and body centered.

Our physical health, emotional well being, and spiritual connection are not separate entities with nothing in common. Together these things make up the harmony of our holistic health and wellness.

In our 1:1 sessions we work with:

  • herbal medicine

  • nutrition and relationship with food

  • sleep hygiene

  • menstrual cycle support and hormone health

  • emotional & spiritual well-being

  • lifestyle considerations & realities

WORK WITH ZARA

Women’s Health Counseling is highly individualized holistic care for women’s spiritual and physiological health at all phases of life.

There is no one size fits all when it comes to spirituality, emotional well-being, or physical health as a woman.

All of these are connected and contribute to your lived experience. This can be beliefs about ourself, the food we eat, the time we make for our spiritual connection, the space we give ourselves to rest, and the medicine we take to support our system.

HOW IT WORKS

The initial intake session is where I ask you a lot of questions about the various aspects of your experience:

  • including your health history

  • your present day issues or concerns

  • your habits with food and eating, with sleep, exercise, self-care & media

  • with the menstrual cycle (or wherever you are in that life cycle of the reproductive system)

  • your beliefs about yourself as a woman

  • how your relationship to yourself is going

  • we’ll talk about what is bringing you to this work, what your wishes and goals are, and what is going smoothly and what is challenging in that process

Follow up sessions are where we:

  • lay out your individual program going forward

  • check in about how you are, how the steps and practices of the process are going

  • trouble shoot. fine tune and deepen the process

  • go deeper into all the aspects you are working on

After each follow up session you’ll receive a detailed pdf by email that will include:

  • herbal remedies & supplement recommendations, nutritional recommendations, meal ideas, shopping lists, recommendations for self-care, lifestyle, and emotional & spiritual healing practices.

In between contact:

  • we can email in between sessions. This is based on what is best for you and your process and is an element we will create together.

  • this is for any questions, challenges and successes that come up in between sessions.

  • business hours apply.

Being embodied is more than just a concept. This is not about being trendy. It’s about being in-tune.

I see that most women’s emotional and physical symptoms could benefit from:

  • more connection to their bodies.

  • more space to be with their emotional experience.

  • more space or attention to nurturing their spiritual self.

  • more understanding about what is physiologically happening in the reproductive system at their present phase of life and how it connects to and affects other systems of the body.

  • more education and knowledge about how to care for themselves and their hormones with things like nutrition, exercise, herbs, daily practices and rest.

  • unwinding cultural conditioning telling us there is something inherently wrong with our body, which causes us to vacate, ignore, or punish it.

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."

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Anyone who has a uterus and menstruates, as well as cis-gendered women who want to heal and balance their menstrual cycles, hormone health, overall health, and relationship to themselves. This is also for women who struggle with cycle issues such as PCOS, endometriosis, PMDD, PMS, irregular periods as well as women wanting to conceive in the next 2 -3years. This is also for women wanting to transition off of hormonal birth control and reestablish their cycle.

  • We will work on whatever presents itself as the underlying causes or contributors to what you are experiencing. This can be nutritional deficiencies, blood sugar issues, changing eating habits, adrenal health & sleep practices, emotional components, family reproductive history, your relationship to yourself as well as the messages we have internalized from society and culture.

  • Our first session is an hour and a half is where we get to know each other more. We will go over things in your intake form that stand out, I will ask lots of questions to understand your history ( what you choose to share), and where you are now in this moment. We will talk about your goals and I will give you my proposal for how I’d recommend we get there. Please read the above section for more details.

  • Please email me if you want to discuss a payment plan.

  • Yes. Everything we talk about is confidential between us. I am not a mandatory reporter but personally, if it is shared with me that you are in physical danger or an abusive situation I feel it is my responsibility to offer support to find a way out of that. I would never do something to endanger a client and I hope we could together find a way to notify authorities in a safe way.

  • Yes and yes. I have been working in and facilitating healing workshops with plant medicine for the last decade, working with many participants across the spectrum of trauma and healing who have experienced different types of trauma and are coming for healing. I study transformational energy healing, and somatic trauma therapy, and anything you have been through or experienced in something we can talk about and hold a space for.
