A MANIFESTO ~
I seek a world in which the Feminine is upheld & valued as an equal source of wisdom, guidance and power.
We live in a culture that often rewards linear productivity, constant output, and pushing through—while our bodies and the natural world move in rhythms, cycles, and seasons.
We are taught to produce, strive, work hard, and push through. We place others' needs before our own and take on a never-ending list of tasks and responsibilities. Our culture is pushing us to endlessly DO and produce, causing us to ignore the inherent ebbs and flows of our cyclical being.
Signs abound that this grind is unsustainable; it disconnects us from natural cycles and keeps us separate from ourselves, our bodies’ needs, and our precious planet. Living in such a way sends our systems into constant ‘fight or flight’ mode and is a recipe for burnout, malaise, disconnection, and ailments of all kinds.
This is why I am so passionate about helping women reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies, the rhythms of nature, and the practices that support greater ease, aliveness, and self-trust.
I envision a world in which women are connected deeply to the power within their female bodies.
I stand for a culture in which women are taught the ways their cycles affect their lives and in which women give themselves permission to honor the needs of their body, mind, and spirit.
I believe all women have the profound potential to listen deep within and use their body as a source of internal guidance. From this place, may all women live more vibrant, easeful and empowered lives.
ABOUT EBB
Hello, beautiful. I am Emma, creator of Ebb & Flow. My initials, quite perfectly, happen to be EBB, and I am committed to living in accordance with the inherent ebbs and flows of life.
I’m an herbalist, somatic guide, women’s wellness educator, teacher, dancer, and facilitator.
My work is shaped by professional training in education, women’s health, herbalism, mindfulness, and somatic practice, alongside years of lived exploration of menstrual cycle awareness, ritual, movement, nervous system nourishment, and cyclical living.
I bring these threads together to help women reconnect with their bodies, deepen their self-trust, and cultivate more nourishing ways of living in relationship with themselves and the natural world.
I teach women to listen more deeply to their bodies, rhythms, and changing needs.
I share herbal and embodied practices that support nourishment, awareness, and everyday connection with the natural world.
I support women in cultivating greater self-trust, boundaries, rest, sensuality, and emotional resilience.
I create spaces for women to gather through ritual, movement, reflection, and community.
I help women reconnect with cyclical ways of living—through the menstrual cycle, the seasons, the moon, and the natural ebbs and flows of life.
My life’s passion is to connect women with the power within their own bodies. Will you join me?
My Vision for Women
I want you to live a joyful, vibrant, and aligned life.
I want you to feel a loving connection with your body and to understand her unique rhythms and needs.
I want you to prioritize yourself, in order to live with less stress and more ease.
I want you to release body shame and replace it with radical self-love.
I want you to feel supported and in connection with other women and your own feminine radiance.
I want you to feel connected to the living world—to plants, seasons, cycles, and the forms of nourishment that remind you that you belong to Nature too.
More about EBB
Life has been my greatest teacher and my personal lived experience informs all that I do.
As a professional, trauma-informed teacher, once-farmer, and lifelong dancer, I combine a comprehensive understanding of how the brain learns, with an Earth-centered and embodied approach to personal transformation and women’s health.
I radically transformed my own life after a dark night of the soul, in which I woke up to the fact that I had been in the wrong relationship for way too many years. Suffering from gaslighting and emotional abuse, my self-worth was rock bottom.
This is why I’m so passionate about empowering women to listen deep within~ to understand their bodies, their needs and their desires, and to live from a place of deep self-love and self-awareness. In doing so, you gain access to your deepest source of power and discover what is most right for you.
I have also experienced episodes of burnout, which ultimately served as red flags that brought me back to a place of deeper alignment in my body and life. I naturally healed a decade-long struggle with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and irregular cycles.
I studied with leaders in the field of women’s health and spirituality at Red School, am a certified herbalist, and the years of experience I have teaching mindfulness and social emotional learning, provided me with a vast array of trauma-informed practices and deeply-empathic facilitation skills.
I’m a ritualist at heart, and have a deep passion for bringing ritual back into modern life and community. I am passionate about creating safe and sacred space for women to be vulnerable, tap into their intuitive nature, and heal.
I believe that holistic health and wellness requires a multi-faceted approach, taking into account one’s emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual well being.
I embody this approach in my own daily life, and my daily experiences as a yogini, dancer, herbalist, writer, meditation practitioner, lover of ritual and beauty, facilitator, and Highly Sensitive Person have shaped the body of work I now passionately share with others.
Ebb & Flow, my women’s mentoring practice, honors the wisdom of the moon and the tides to remind us of life's inherent ups and downs. Through my work, I aspire to teach women the power of connecting with a more grounded, rested, cyclical way of being in the world, which is the perfect medicine for modern times.
Testimonials
“I can’t say enough about how supportive and informative these coaching sessions were. I didn’t entirely know what to expect, but I knew I felt disconnected from and uninformed about my own menstrual cycle and wanted to change that. I’m coming out of these sessions with an entirely new awareness and appreciation for the cyclical nature of my body and mind. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion for this subject!”

Ebb & Flow’s Values
Live Cyclically
Living a lifestyle that embraces the natural ebb and flow of life's rhythms, seasons, and cycles. This involves aligning one's activities, habits, and mindset with the cyclical patterns inherent in nature, the female body, and the environment. This can include acknowledging and honoring the cycles of the seasons, lunar phases, the menstrual cycle, circadian rhythms, and other natural patterns.
Feminine Empowerment
Embodying a Feminine way of knowing, being, listening and relating to others, and upholding this as an equal source of wisdom and power to more traditionally-valued Masculine power structures. Enabling women to realize their full potential, to have control over their lives, and to pursue their aspirations freely and in alignment with their deepest values, desires and needs.
Embodied Mentoring
Modelling and fully living in alignment with the practices, routines, and ways of being that Ebb & Flow shares with clients. In essence, walking the walk and talking the talk, in order to facilitate trust and confidence in the tools and processes for lasting growth and transformation.
