In this episode of Blush and Bloom, Gigi Kenneth speaks with Katherine Maree Pace, founder of The School of Her and an 11-time award-winning health-tech innovator, about building women's health products with integrity and helping women live in rhythm with their bodies.

Diagnosed with endometriosis at 16, Katherine spent years pushing through severe symptoms before a near-fatal wake-up call led her to rebuild her health. She shares how she learned to understand her body, question what she had accepted as normal, and approach healing through lived experience, research, and experimentation.

Katherine explains the foundations behind The School of Her, the four phases of the menstrual cycle, and how cycle awareness can help women better understand their energy, health, and daily lives. She and Gigi discuss bioaligning, living in alignment with circadian and infradian rhythms, and why women's physiology deserves approaches designed around women's bodies.

They also explore why common does not always mean normal, the importance of women's stories alongside clinical research, and how workplaces can better support women by recognising monthly rhythms rather than expecting the same output every day.

Katherine reflects on intuition, the menstrual phase, treating the body as a masterpiece worth listening to, and what is next for The School of Her, including her three-month programme supporting women with endometriosis symptoms and helping women live and work in alignment with their cycles.

This episode is for women navigating endometriosis and hormone health, FemTech founders, product leaders, clinicians, and anyone interested in cycle syncing, women's health innovation, and building health products that truly serve women.
