Hi, I’m Samantha, aka The Period Princess. I am a Menstrual Education Coach, Inclusion Specialist, and proud Autistic ADHDer.
🩸 I’m here to change the conversation around being in a body that bleeds!
Diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at 43, I finally understood why I’d been fiercely advocating for better menstrual wellness education (plus, social justice is kinda my thing).
Hormones rule everything… especially how we think, act and feel.
When I discovered this in 2020, I was obsessed!
I dove headfirst down the cyclical living rabbit hole. What started as a personal mission quickly turned into a passion to help others master their energy and emotions through cyclical living.
Before embracing cyclical living, I was stuck on a rollercoaster of what I thought were panic attacks and depression (actually autistic burnout and meltdowns).
Cyclical living became my anchor, my first and most impactful coping strategy. Post-diagnosis, everything clicked into place, and the pieces made sense.
I stopped second-guessing myself and started trusting my inner wisdom.
Now, I’m here to share what I’ve learned.
"Samantha's sessions have really helped our people in the Alzheimer’s Society to understand more about our own awareness & how our hormones can affect our menstrual health and neurodiversity." Shirley Grey, Alzheimer's Society
Whether it’s delving into menstrual wellness or its powerful intersection with neurodivergence, I tailor my talks to fit your event or organisation.
Why more people need to hear this...
Menstrual health affects every body - Menstrual health isn’t just a personal issue; it’s a societal one. My workshops break the silence, challenge the stigma, and spark open conversations around menstrual wellness.
Hormones influence neurodivergent traits - The connection between neurodivergence and menstrual cycles is underexplored but vital. I decode this intersection, providing practical strategies to navigate the complexities of both.
Take a peek at one of my talks...
Speaking Topics
I speak about menstrual cycles, neurodivergent experiences, and how we can stop pretending these things don't show up in everyday life, because they do. Especially at work.
Here are some of the most popular sessions I deliver...
➡️ Being Bloody Marvellous
Cycle awareness, charting, and real-life strategies for energy mapping and well-being.
Perfect for individuals, groups or teams who want to understand how cyclical patterns affect mood, focus, and capacity, and how to work with them, not against them.
➡️ Bloody Brilliant Brains
Neurodivergence meets hormones: ADHD, autism, sensory overload and menstrual health.
We explore how hormonal shifts affect executive function, sensory processing, and emotional regulation, and what practical support can actually look like.
➡️ Managing Peri-Peri-Menopause
Late diagnosis, hormonal chaos, and surviving perimenopause as a spicy-brained human.
This session explores the double whammy of neurodivergence and midlife hormones, and why so many don’t realise what’s going on until they are already in the midst of it.
➡️ Menstrual Ease at Work
Language, inclusion, and what meaningful menstrual support looks like in real workplaces.
From everyday conversations to formal accommodations, this talk shows how organisations can support people who menstruate... without the awkwardness!
➡️ Late Diagnosed and a Little Bit Sweaty
My story of masking, missed diagnosis, perimenopause, and learning to live unmasked.
A personal, funny, and honest reflection on growing up undiagnosed, getting answers late, and figuring out how to be yourself in a world not built for spicy bodies or brains.
