The 4 Women I See in Practice (And the Patterns They Don’t Realize Are Hormonal)
May 23, 2025
Women don’t just show up in my sessions with symptoms.
They show up with stories.
Not just “I’m bloated” or “my period disappeared”—but deeper patterns shaped by the nervous system, their upbringing, and what their body has had to hold.
Over time, I began noticing recurring types.
Different lives. Different timelines. But the same terrain.
There are four archetypes I see again and again.
And behind each one is a hidden hormonal root: inflammation, dysregulation, depletion, or shutdown.
These aren’t just personality quirks.
They’re patterns your body has absorbed—often for decades.
And they show up in everything from cycle issues to chronic fatigue, skin flares, and gut symptoms.
If you recognize yourself in one of these, I want you to know:
This isn’t about labeling you.
It’s about decoding your health story—so you can finally lead it.
1. The Sponge (Hypermobile Empath)
She’s sensitive. Hyper-attuned. Nervous system always on.
She reads a room in five seconds and absorbs everyone else’s emotions like a sponge—her mother’s grief, her partner’s anger, her friend’s sadness. Her body doesn’t know where she ends and others begin.
Her fascia is soft. Her joints are mobile. Her gut is leaky. Her hormones? Chaotic from chronic over-extension.
She’s not just “burnt out.” She’s boundary-less.
The sponge stores every invasion as inflammation. She gets praised for being flexible—physically and emotionally—but inside, she’s holding more than her own weight. Her liver is sluggish. Her estrogen is high. Her nervous system is trained in performance, not peace.
What she needs isn’t another supplement.
She needs containment.
A blueprint that teaches her how to hold herself first.
2. The Ice Queen (Boss Babe Who’s Melting Inside)
She hasn’t cried in years. She hasn’t bled in months. She hasn’t let herself soften… maybe ever.
She’s high-functioning. High-achieving. Driven by caffeine, spreadsheets, and a need to control what life never taught her to trust.
She’s praised for her poise, her power, her put-togetherness.
But her gut is inflamed. Her libido is gone. Her sleep is fractured. Her face puffy. Her womb? Whispering louder each month.
Underneath the curated calendar and designer mask—she’s falling apart.
She doesn’t need another productivity tool.
She needs to feel safe enough to rest.
Her cortisol is high. Her blood sugar is unstable. Her nervous system is wired to brace for failure before softness ever enters the room.
What she needs is to be held by something that doesn’t require her to perform.
3. The Try-Hard Who’s Always Behind
She tries. She crashes. She ghosts.
She reads every post. She saves every story. She whispers “this is me” in secret… and then disappears from her own healing.
Not because she doesn’t care. But because follow-through feels like danger. She’s been burnt by protocols that didn’t work, coaches who didn’t hold her, and her own tendency to quit before she begins.
Her fatigue is real.
Her gut issues are real.
Her shame? Also real.
But she doesn’t need to be “fixed.”
She needs a rhythm her body can actually keep.
Inside my 1:1 work, we rebuild her foundation—not just her food plan. We anchor her in safety so she doesn’t have to ghost herself to survive.
4. The Natural Health Girl Who Doesn’t Feel Better
She’s read the blogs. She’s bought the castor oil packs. She knows what mucilaginous means.
And still—she’s bloated. Her skin breaks out. Her cycle is unpredictable. Her body just won’t respond the way it’s “supposed to.”
She’s not lazy. She’s overloaded. She’s been piecing together tips from Instagram for years, trying to make sense of why nothing sticks.
The root issue?
No structure. No signal of safety.
Her nervous system is overloaded. Her gut is confused. Her hormones are swinging from depletion to overdrive.
She doesn’t need more wellness hacks.
She needs someone to hold the full picture—and guide her back to coherence.
Here’s what I want you to know:
You are not your symptoms.
You are not your cycle issues or your cravings or your chronic fatigue.
You are a woman walking through an emotional season.
And when we decode your archetype, we uncover what your body is really trying to say.
This is the work I do in my 1:1 consultations.
We don’t chase symptoms. We map your story.
We build rhythms your body can trust.
We rewire your nervous system, restore your hormones, and rebuild you—at the pace your body actually wants to heal.
If you saw yourself in one of these archetypes… it’s time.
