I shared my personal experience with coming off hormonal birth control (aka #ThePill I did not know the effect it was having on me until I stopped it, and I think most people are unaware of what it can do to their bodies (literally shrinking the clitoris!).

Finally living with, and understanding, the natural hormones that make up my #MenstrualCycle has transformed my life. I finally have clearer thoughts, more energy, more creativity, way better sex and generally am the happiest I have ever been!

Hello there. I'm Lene.

I'm on a mission to empower people with periods through information and high quality products. 🩸

Fighting for #womenshealth, #menstrualhealth and to leave a sustainable legacy.

I love nature, and I'm as active as I can in the Norwegian Green party.

I dream of a slow, connected existence, and one day I'll be self sufficient in my own little happy spot on earth.
