Tēnā koutou
Ko Tenemāka, ko Tiamana, ko Airani me Ingarangi te whakapaparanga mai
Engari
Ko Taranaki te maunga nānā au i whakaruruhau
I tipu ake au I te taha o ngā awa o Te Ana-a-Wai me Ōpihi
Ko Waitaha ki te Tonga te whenua tupu
Ko te pāmu o Glenfield te kāinga
Nō Pleasant Point au
Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tatou katoa.

“I am passionate and dedicated to availing new or forgotten knowledge of connecting with and helping our Cycling bodies as well as its inner wisdom to help mental health and well being. It has immensely helped me in my journey and I couldn’t believe I was in my 40s when I truly saw the impact patriarchy, colonization ,capitalism and the industrial revolution has had on how I relate to my body. We must be able to see that Truth to make better decisions for our bodies and those we care for.”

Keitha Theodore is a VCE Environmental Science & Biology teacher who has delved deeply into Menstrual Education following her personal journey with Natural Fertility, Menstrual Cycle Awareness and Perimenopause.
When the young girls in her care appeared to be disconnected from their menstrual cycles and struggling with period pain, shame, and lack of body autonomy, and when an Environmental Science class watched the documentary film 2040, Keitha’s found her passions converged. She could no longer ignore the connections between Menstrual Cycle Awareness Education, Climate Change and Global Warming – ‘we need to educate our young girls to understand their own bodies in order for them to help heal Mother Earth.
As a licensed Celebration Day for Girls facilitator Keitha regularly facilitates Mother / Daughter workshops, where she helps to break down the stigma of the menstrual cycle and help empower mothers and their daughters to prepare for menarche (first period) characterised by awareness, connection, and pride.
Through WorkCycle Keitha finds the combination of offering menstrual education and practical tips and solutions for workplaces, especially in places of education, leads to deeply satisfying ripple-effect cultural change across organisations.
