The 7 Feminine Archetypes and How They Shape Your Health

You’re not just a woman with symptoms.

You’re a body carrying codes.

Bloating, fatigue, skin breakouts, low libido, painful periods—on the surface, they seem like separate issues. But in my work with hundreds of hormonally depleted women, I’ve seen a deeper pattern: their symptoms are rarely random.

They’re archetypal.

Behind every hormonal flare or gut collapse is a story—an emotional signature that’s been running the show in the background. And while most women chase the surface (the protocol, the supplement, the diagnosis), the real shift happens when we decode the archetype.

The 7 Feminine Archetypes (and Why They Matter)

Every woman carries these seven codes:

• The Maiden

• The Mother

• The Queen

• The Lover

• The Huntress

• The Mystic

• The Sage

At any given time, one archetype is usually dominant. And one—usually the one you’re suppressing—is hiding in the shadow. Together, they drive the hormonal and emotional terrain of your body.

This post isn’t about labelling.
It’s about liberating.
Because once you meet the archetype you’re walking with… you stop fighting your body. And you start leading it.

The Maiden

Curiosity. Softness. Avoidance.

Shadow: People-pleasing, emotional immaturity, hormonal chaos
TV Examples: Daphne Bridgerton, Rachel Green, Carrie Bradshaw

Health patterns:

• Irregular cycles

• Skin flares from underprocessed emotion

• Gut instability from fantasy-mode living

• Hormonal dysregulation from overgiving and low self-containment

The Maiden is dreamy, soft, and feminine—but when she’s unanchored, she drifts into emotional avoidance and body disconnect. Her symptoms come not from weakness, but from missing structure.

The Mother

Devotion. Nurturing. Overgiving.

Shadow: Martyrdom, chronic depletion, self-abandonment
TV Examples: Monica Geller, Mary Poppins, Claire Fraser

Health patterns:

• Burnout masked as productivity

• Low libido, low progesterone

• Painful, heavy cycles

• Emotional heaviness in the womb

The Mother gives and gives—until her body can’t give anymore. Her generosity turns into overfunctioning. Her depletion masquerades as loyalty. But her nervous system is screaming for her to receive.

The Queen

Power. Loyalty. Control.

Shadow: Over-responsibility, jealousy, fear of softness
TV Examples: Miranda Priestly, Daenerys Targaryen, Olivia Pope

Health patterns:

• Breast tenderness, irritability, bloating

• PMS from unprocessed pressure

• High cortisol disguised as “being strong”

• Hormonal buildup from trying to hold it all together

The Queen is a leader, but when she forgets softness, her kingdom becomes a battlefield. Her body becomes rigid. Her womb tightens. And her hormones revolt under the crown she wears too tightly.

The Lover

Sensuality. Magnetism. Chaos.

Shadow: Emotional volatility, identity loss in love
TV Examples: Marilyn Monroe, Samantha Jones, Serena van der Woodsen

Health patterns:

• Hormonal crashes after sex

• Energy swings from unmet desire

• Breakouts and bloating tied to emotional spirals

• Progesterone depletion from romantic over-identification

The Lover teaches pleasure, but when disconnected from grounding, her body burns out from chasing intensity. Her symptoms are rooted in heartbreak—not just with lovers, but with herself.

The Huntress

Focus. Freedom. Isolation.

Shadow: Emotional disconnection, hyper-independence
TV Examples: Katniss Everdeen, Kate Sharma, Arya Stark

Health patterns:

• Amenorrhea or irregular ovulation

• Adrenal fatigue

• Hair loss, thyroid issues

• Hypervigilance and muscle tension

The Huntress is fierce, productive, sharp. But in survival mode, she forgets softness. Her symptoms come from never letting the arrow rest. She doesn’t need to push harder—she needs to feel safe enough to slow down.

The Mystic

Depth. Intuition. Retreat.

Shadow: Dissociation, spiritual bypass, isolation
TV Examples: Luna Lovegood, Phoebe Buffay, Grandma Tala

Health patterns:

• Constipation, brain fog, yeast overgrowth

• Nervous system overstimulation

• Disembodiment from the physical world

• Difficulty integrating rest and structure

The Mystic holds cosmic wisdom, but when ungrounded, she floats too far. Her symptoms come from forgetting the body’s anchoring role in the spiritual path. Her healing? Earth, rhythm, and integration.

The Sage

Wisdom. Strategy. Loneliness.

Shadow: Overthinking, detachment from emotions, body neglect
TV Examples: Hermione Granger, Athena, Spencer Reid

Health patterns:

• Anxiety, tension, rigid digestion

• Estrogen dominance from overcontrol

• Difficulty with play, touch, intimacy

• High-functioning burnout from brain-first living

The Sage leads with logic—but often at the cost of her womb. Her symptoms arise from forgetting the body in pursuit of intellect. Her path home is through emotion, rhythm, and surrender.

You don’t need to “balance your hormones” in a vacuum.

You need to meet the archetype shaping your rhythms.

In my 1:1 work, this is where we begin.
Not with a diet. Not with another supplement.
But with a mirror. A map. A recalibration of the story your body is holding.

Because your archetype lives in your fascia.
Your digestion. Your bloat. Your cycle. Your burnout.

When you meet her—you begin to lead yourself.
