Education

What is YBK?

Founded by Rhiannon Patterson, Your Body Knows is changing the way young people are educated on the menstrual cycle.


As a qualified health teacher and student naturopath with her own 16 year PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) journey, Rhiannon has a huge passion for educating everyone on menstrual cycles.

The fact is that menstrual cycles impact almost everyone in some way, whether that is because you directly experience one or you are in relationship/friendship with someone who does. Understanding what is happening on a monthly basis helps those with periods work with their body and their partners and friends to understand and empathise. 

Let's get body literate!

Before meeting Rhiannon, I had a very western view on health due to my experience. However, Rhiannon opened my eyes up to a very holistic perspective on women’s health and hormones, especially around my cycle. This has fully changed my perspective, and I am so relieved I was able to meet Rhiannon and adopt the knowledge she has given me to my own overall well-being. It has blown my mind, the gaps in my own knowledge regarding the things that are happening to my body every single month. The guidance by Rhiannon has been absolutely essential in my health outcomes, she has been so supportive and has a great energy that makes you feel comfortable and understood. I wish I had this information when I was younger, instead of only just finding out about such fundamental principles about my own body only in my 20s.

I have suffered from a hormonal imbalance since my early teens. I have seen countless doctors and specialists who have all told me the same thing. I have struggled to find someone to solve my issues rather than masking them. 
Rhiannon completely changed my mindset and has educated my with information that makes sense. She is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her to any women struggling with similar issues. I am so grateful to Rhiannon for her practical advice and support that has improved my health and mindset.

I wish I had been given this information when I was younger! There is a massive gap in the education system around women’s health that Rhiannon has done an absolutely brilliant job at filling. From my own personal journey of losing my period after getting off the pill, she helped me not only get my period back, but helped me understand how to track my natural cycle, how to regulate the “not normal” pains around menstruation and has transformed my mindset around women’s health and our bleed. We are really not educated growing up as girls about our menstrual cycle and when we need guidance, end up choosing options that are band aid approaches that don’t fix the root issue. Rhiannon was that person who cared enough to actually do something about it. Thank you doesn’t do her justice
