practical tools AND exercises DESIGNED TO HELP YOU CREATE REALISTIC LIFESTYLE SHIFTS

A transformative time to restore your confidence and motivation in caring for your PCOS!

Facilitated and Led by Rachel Ruha, PCOS Health and Wellness Coach

Hi! I’m Rachel, your PCOS Health and Wellness Coach and facilitator of Empowered Living with PCOS

I created this virtual workshop to bring you what I wish I had when I was diagnosed with PCOS. When I was scared and didn’t know how to take care of myself. I tried a million supplements, bought into platforms that only perpetuated my disordered eating habits from the past, and felt isolated. It took me YEARS to figure out what to do, and I want to help you learn from my mistakes through this workshop.

I researched like crazy, and then learned that even knowing what you want to change is still not enough…
In the frenzy of research, and in my practice as a Health Coach, I realized that knowing what to do wasn’t enough. Changing your behavior is HARD. Especially when you’re living with a ‘mystery’ chronic condition and can’t predict your good or bad days.

How this workshop helps…
I’ve created this workshop based on what will help you restore your confidence and motivation to change. We’ll fill knowledge gaps while teaching you how to create sustainable, lasting change that doesn’t make you feel punished or isolated. 

My promise to you if you participate
I can’t promise you that your life will suddenly change forever. If I could do the work for you, I would in a heartbeat. But what I can promise you is that if you show up, commit to self-discovery, and do the work that’s practical for you, transformation will come.

I’m so excited to bring this to you, and I hope you’ll join me for it!

Empowered Living with PCOS

What is this workshop exactly?

This isn't your typical PCOS course. It's an immersive workshop designed to empower you to build the PCOS lifestyle that works for you. We created this workshop alongside experts, drawing on lived experience, client testimonials, and research-backed principles of change. 

This workshop is designed to be done asynchronously or via live sessions.

This workshop meets you where you are, creating an environment for you to identify what's right for you in this moment. We'll walk you through actionable frameworks to help you explore what works for your body, resources and priorities.

Here’s how…

Workshop Breakdown

  • PCOS CRASH COURSE

    Day 1

    Asynchronous

    Trying to learn about your PCOS through social media is exhausting and confusing. We'll boil down what you should have been told when you were diagnosed, dispel common myths, and help you see that you have more power than you think you do.

  • Addressing Blockers to Sustainable Change

    Day 2

    Live or Access Recording

    Today we let go of the shame. Living with a chronic condition means goal setting will look different. We'll teach you how to overcome common motivation blockers and focus on the right next step in front of you.

  • Reconnect with Your Body

    Day 3

    Live or Access Recording

    You don’t have to outsource knowing what's right for you to strangers. We'll teach you how to restore trust and connection with your body so you can honor its intuition, knowing what foods love you back, and what kind of movement feels good.

  • Caring for Your Mental Health with PCOS

    Day 4

    Live or Access Recording

    We eat, sleep and breathe the impact PCOS has on our mental health every day. We'll take you through tactical exercises that will teach you to build stress resilience, a healthy relationship with yourself, and a strong support system.

  • Sustainable Nutrition for PCOS

    Day 5

    Live or Access Recording

    Check your self-blame at the door. There are valid reasons why nutrition changes are HARD with PCOS. We'll talk about those obstacles, and teach you tactical ways to overcome them. Plus, we'll help you simplify the way you think about nutrition for PCOS.

PCOS is a complicated chronic illness that impacts us in so many confusing ways. Throughout my time with Rachel, she was able to answer my questions and direct me to helpful resources. At the end of my experience with Rachel, I was left feeling empowered with a healthier mindset and helpful tools to keep crushing my goals.

I highly recommend anyone with PCOS to work with Rachel and get yourself on a healthier path.”

I'm immensely grateful for the work I was able to do alongside Rachel. Even after our sessions concluded, I found myself relying on the strategies we discussed to manage my PCOS symptoms effectively and offer support to others in similar situations. Rachel is not just a health coach but a beacon of hope for anyone navigating the complexities of PCOS.”
