I came to my first Aviva Method workshop with a great deal of scepticism, frustration and confusion, because all the doctors and therapists I had consulted about my persistent absence of menstruation had conflicting opinions – they only agreed on one thing: they had no solution for me.

I found the workshop and the method itself quite nice, especially the good body feeling afterwards, but definitely too simple and not intensive enough (only 30 minutes of exercise twice a week...?) to actually be effective.

Nevertheless, more out of a lack of alternatives than enthusiasm, I continued the exercise series at home. I was very surprised when, after two months, I suddenly had a period – my first in 18 years!

I had no idea that this would be my only period for the time being, because one cycle later I was already pregnant!

Today (many cycles later), I am the mother of two children – and yet I still experience it as a small miracle every time my period starts.
