Hello Beautiful.
I’m Jasmine Alicia Carter, founder of Sacred Woman™ and pioneer of the Menstrual Art Movement - a global reclamation of the menstrual cycle as a source of power, creativity and healing since 2016.
For a decade, I have devoted my work to guiding women back into the intelligence, power and sacredness of their own bodies - through menstrual art, through the living rhythm of the female cycle, and a deep return to the wisdom held within flesh and bone.
My work has reached thousands of women worldwide, from universities and schools to intimate circles across the globe. It expands into bodywork, mentorship, courses, retreats and sacred tools - forming a living body of work devoted to awakening feminine intelligence and reshaping the cultural narrative of the female body.
What I Do.
My work lives at the intersection of flesh, blood, body, art and spirit.
As a ceremonial pelvic care practitioner, I work directly with the female body through touch, tissue, fascia, movement and sensation, weaving hands-on care with Bio-Kinesthetic awareness, embodied anatomy, nervous-system awareness and ritual.
Through 1:1 work, retreats, mentorship, online education, menstrual art and Sacred Woman Boutique, I create different doorways into the same work: supporting women to inhabit their bodies, trust their intelligence, and become fluent in their own somatic language.
At the heart of everything I do is a devotion to restoring reverence for the female body as an intelligent, sacred and world-shaping force—and to a culture where women’s wellbeing is inseparable from the generations that come after us.
My Path.
For over 14 years, I have walked within Dzogchen, Vajrayana Buddhism, and Tibetan shamanic practices such as Chöd, and ongoing cultivation through Nei Qi Gong.
My spiritual training continues to be lived and expressed through practice in caves and cemeteries, solo retreats, countless hours of breathwork, meditation and practice.
Alongside this, I have devoted over 12 years to plant medicine, and more than a decade to somatic healing and metabolic nutrition, including practices for hormonal and systemic balance.
My work is also grounded in the physical body, through hands-on, hands-in pelvic care and deep study of anatomy, fascial work, structural care, endocrinology, physiology and holistic health.
And at the center of it all is my own lived journey by healing my own reproductive imbalances, sexual repression, trauma and disconnection... returning, again and again, to the body as altar and teacher.
Menstrual Art & Global Impact
Since 2016, I have been devoted to menstrual blood art as a sacred practice.
What began as a personal ritual of self healing and self discovery became a full-blown global movement and a method to empower and heal our relationship to period blood.
My work has traveled across the world through media, television, documentaries, and international platforms, and has been shared in prestigious universities in London and I've been called into educational spaces including high schools.
I have inspired thousands of women to reconnect with their cycles through art. Every day, women share how this practice has transformed them on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
Life & Roots
I live immersed in authentic spiritual lineages and my path is deeply intertwined with teachers, practitioners and traditions that are part of my everyday life.
My lineage is as diverse as the women I serve!
I was born in the United States, raised in Italy, with roots in Latin America and African ancestry. My blood carries many genes and it is this diversity that allows me to speak to women across cultures, backgrounds and lived experiences.
Sacred Woman Boutique.
Sacred Woman Boutique was not created as a business idea, it grew organically alongside my path.
As I deepened into my own healing and embodiment, I began to gather tools, practices and ritual objects that were truly supporting me on all levels. What started as a personal devotion naturally expanded into something much greater and today, we ship across oceans to women in every corner of the world!
I began by offering the very things I was using in my own life, from yoni crystals, menstrual cups, menstrual art, yoni steaming herbs, ritual items and self-care essentials designed to awaken, support, and nourish the feminine body. From a small, intimate project, it has grown into a thriving, product-based business, with hundreds of wholesalers and affiliates, and thousands of women globally who trust and work with our creations.
As the brand expanded, so did our responsibility. So we began building relationships with reforestation initiatives, giving back to the Earth as part of our ecosystem ensuring that the growth of Sacred Woman remains in reciprocity with the land that sustains us.
Motherhood
I am a mother of two, and motherhood is the foundation of my work. It is my deepest initiation that brought me into the full spectrum of the feminine - love, devotion, exhaustion, responsibility, expansion, surrender. My service extends to mothers as much as to women as a whole. Motherhood is where my work becomes real, grounded and accountable to life itself.

Why This Work Matters
I am here for real change in the body, in the nervous system, in the way women live, feel and relate to themselves and how we related to women's bodies as a culture and society at whole.
My work is sought out by doulas, leaders, holistic care workers, artists and healers because it is grounded, embodied and palpably transformative.
I help women return to themselves and from there, create entirely new ways of being and living as women in this world.
Education, Training & Lineage
My education has never followed a single institutional path but has unfolded through formal practitioner training, spiritual transmission, sustained personal practice, mentorship, lived experience, motherhood and more than a decade of working directly with women and flesh.
There is also another dimension of my education that is difficult to represent on a conventional résumé. For much of my adult life, I have lived in unusually close proximity to teachers, elders, practitioners, healers and lineage holders. These are not simply people whose workshops I have attended but most of them are part of my family, home, relationships and everyday life.
Being continually in conversation with people who have devoted multiple decades to their respective disciplines has created an ongoing environment of learning. This living apprenticeship has profoundly shaped how I listen, question, practice and understand responsibility when working with others.

Additional Studies & Self-Led Exploration
Extensive study of Women’s Holistic Health through literature, mentorship, and embodied application. Spiritual motherhood, conscious conception, birth, and postpartum through personal experience. I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of women around the world—artists, mothers, leaders, healers—and every session, every circle, every story has refined the wisdom I carry. I am endlessly humbled by the body’s capacity to guide, reveal, and transform when we create the space to truly listen. -
More than a training list
Some of my most consequential learning has happened outside courses in meditation and retreat; sitting with fear and impermanence in caves and cemeteries; motherhood and birth; recovering relationship with my own reproductive body; more than a decade of menstrual practice; hundreds of hours touching and tending women's bodies; holding retreats and immersives + countless conversations with people who have spent their lives immersed in medicine, contemplative practice, nutrition, healing and spiritual discipline. I value both formal training and embodied apprenticeship. I expect to remain a student for the rest of my life.
