Welcome beautiful,

My name is Jasmine Alicia Carter.

And Sacred Woman™ is the culmination of over 8 years of exploration and healing in the spiritual, wellness, and holistic fields.

My brand is my sacred hearth and a jewel in my heart that shines brightly for all who seek to connect with their true, deepest and rawest feminine selves.

I am a woman of Italian, North-European, Latin-American, and Nigerian descent, currently residing in the vibrant city of Barcelona with my loving husband, Hri Surya Cillo, a gifted meditation guide, and our two beautiful young sons Ravi and Mani.

From the moment of my conception...

I was enveloped in a container of spiritual lessons.

Conceived during the Gulf War in Saudi Arabia in 1991, and born in the Airforce Base of Virginia, my early life was marked by the complexities of rigid military family dynamics.

My parents’ divorce when I was just seven years old thrust me into a new harsh reality.

Growing up in Italy, and without my father, I felt the weight of a strict and emotionally unavailable mother, and I quickly learned to navigate the world alone, grappling with a profound sense of emptiness and disconnection. The taboo surrounding womanhood and pleasure loomed large in my lineage, creating an internal battleground within me.

Conversations about periods were hushed, and when they arrived, they were seen as a curse. Sexuality was shrouded in shame, viewed as a path to unintended motherhood, a punishment rather than a celebration of life. My body felt like a battleground—imperfect and constantly scrutinized, adhering to impossible societal standards.

The messages I absorbed about pleasure suggested that it must always come after hard work, and men were often portrayed as having mischievous intentions.

These deep-seated beliefs, coupled with an intense sexual drive from a young age, led me to manifest patterns of self-hatred and disassociation from my own body.

I made choices in intimate relationships that were misaligned with my true self, engaging in self-harm and grappling with emotional, psychological, and physical illness.

My teenage years, which should have been filled with carefree joy, were instead clouded by hopelessness.

I had never experienced an orgasm until the age of 21, using a synthetic rabbit vibrator that felt more like a desperate attempt than an act of pleasure. I battled recurrent yeast infections, PCOS, Endometriosis, HPV, and debilitating period pains that left me doubled over in agony.

My past is filled with countless stories of struggle and survival, each one shaping the woman I am today.

SPIRITUAL JOURNEY

But what is most important to share is that I healed.

My journey was long, winding, and remarkable, filled with lessons that would eventually lead me to the sacred journey I walk now.

Over the past decade, I have delved into the depths of my inner healing through powerful and authentic spiritual lineages.

From the ancient teachings of Vajrayana Buddhism and Dzogchen to the Shipibo wisdom of the Amazon, I explored Kashmiri Shaivism, Nei Qi Gong, Chinese medicine, Taoism, and Ayurveda.

Alongside these traditional millennial practices, I also embraced modern spirituality and holistic methods, including Neo Tantra and contemporary approaches like Somatic Therapy and Art Therapy.

I eventually turned to the realms of Epigenetics, Holistic Nutrition, and Neuroscience, which all illuminated the fog of confusion that clouded my mind during my darkest days.

As I peeled back the layers of my suffering, I began to glimpse who I truly was. I started to understand the roots of my pain and transformed those insights into wisdom.

MENSTRUAL ART MOVEMENT

In 2016, during an Ayahuasca ceremony, I channeled the practice of Menstrual Art—a pivotal moment that launched my path to womb healing and sacred feminine work. This ritual unlocked long-buried doors within me, leading to profound healing and a deeper embrace of my femininity.

Since then, my work has resonated worldwide, going viral on social media with over 20 million views, and appearing in global media, television, and international radio.

I've collaborated with impactful brands like Its August and Girl Boss, helping shift the narrative on periods and feminine wellness.

My work has been used as the foundation for university theses and inspires a diverse community of doulas, birth workers, and doctors, sparking both support and controversy.

To further this mission, I founded the non-profit Menstrual Art Movement, now with thousands of women creating period art together, uniting creativity, healing, empowerment and activism in a powerful celebration of feminine health and sacredness.

TODAY

My journey into womb work intensified as I pursued specialized training in Womb Continuum Care, allowing me to serve the full spectrum of womanhood with both hands-on and hands-in support, attuned to every stage of life.

With a background in holistic ketogenic nutrition and sex education, I bring a holistic approach to nurturing women’s health, emphasizing the interplay of body, nourishment, lifestyle and sexuality.

Today, as I walk this healing path, I remain deeply committed to my own growth while holding space for others.

I continue to gather wisdom along the way to evolve both personally and in service to my community. I am immensely grateful to all my teachers, past and present, who have helped shape my work, ethos, and expression.

Womb Continuum care

 "When women remember to return their blood to the Earth,
men will remember to cry and will no longer need to spill blood in war."

There once was a time when the world revered the bleed of a woman as a holy opening...

Young girls would be embraced by the women of the village, taken into nature during the days and nights of her first bleed and taught the mysteries of womanhood.

Temples were built and her bleed was welcomed as an ecstatic oracular channel.

When we remember that our blood is sacred and our wombs are sacred, we return to the magic and wisdom of our femininity.

This alone can heal ourselves, our lineage, and the Earth itself.

The Menstrual Art Movement was born as not only a movement, but also as a safe haven to help women return back home to their deep feminine wisdom through period painting, as drawing with period blood has the powerful alchemy to weave our blood into meaning.

It is a deep healing initiation, therapeutic practice and a personal act of reclamation to end encoded period stigma and shame to instead reveal its inherent sacredness to us.

Started as a healing and self-discovering journey in 2016, Jasmine now empowers and educates thousands of women all over the world to heal their relationship with their periods through period painting, an art that changed her life and continues to be her favourite means of expressing the Sacred Feminine today.

Videos of her work have gone viral and has been featured on major online news platforms like Girl Boss and has done several collaborations with impactful period activist brands like August (USA) and EcoFemme (India).

The Instagram page of the Menstrual Art Movement is a growing community of bleeders who share on the daily their works, alongside with incredible testimonials of how this practice has impacted them deeply.

“First timer here! I saved my blood from my last cycle and last night I started this mandala with my 9 year old daughter. I told her my intention for this mandala is to open my sacral chakra as I have a lot of new creative projects coming up. Also to let go of my feelings of not-good-enough. My daughter said "yes, because you definitely are (good enough)"

I started my bleed today and finished the mandala alongside my 3 year old daughter who said "it's so pretty" over and over. Even when I "messed up" she said those were the prettiest parts :) - by @breathedeeplylovefully
