Menstrual health coach, womb wisdom guide, vocal activator, author and multidisciplinary artist. Founder of Embracing Cycles LLC.
“Hi there! I'm Alycia, the mama of Embracing Cycles. I am a fiery but gentle, outspoken soul with a mission to help others tap into their power. I am a New York born Puerto Rican reclaiming my indigenous Arawak Taino lineage. Colonization will never wipe out the wisdom passed down through generations, we are here.
I am here to initiate using my voice and empowered education as one of my major tools — to bring you into a deeper connection to yourself, your womb, and your cyclical nature.
Embracing Cycles means honoring that our entire existence is made up of many phases and cyclical patterns. We must learn how to live in alignment with them instead of against them. This space is intended to bridge menstrual cycle awareness, spiritual development and holistic hormone wellness.”
Alycia was born in New York to a second-generation Puerto Rican family, and had been living with painful periods since her early teens.
At 21 she went through an abortion, and afterwards found her partner offered no support — a moment she has spoken about publicly as the turning point. She spent roughly the following year numbing herself.
At 22, she recognised she needed to reconnect with herself. She began connecting with her womb, working through the emotional layer, and using natural remedies to restore hormonal balance.
At 23 she enrolled in nutrition school to become a health coach. Embracing Cycles grew from there — a practice founded on indigenous wisdom, built to bring greater representation of women of colour into wellness, and guided by a belief that simplicity is medicine.
Every one of these is listed on her professional profile, with the awarding body and the year it was earned.
Alycia writes on hormone health and spiritual development. Published pieces include “How to Have a Better Period” and “The Importance Of Ovulation — Even If You Never Plan On Having Kids”.
