Menstrual Maintenance & Management Services
No More Secrets Mind Body Spirit Inc. addresses Menstrual Maintenance and Management, not simply period poverty. Our work focuses on education, uterine wellness, advocacy, and equipping individuals with the knowledge and resources needed to manage menstruation throughout every stage of life.
WHAT IS MENSTRUAL MAINTENANCE & MANAGEMENT?
Menstrual Maintenance and Management (MMM) is a comprehensive approach to supporting menstrual and uterine wellness throughout every stage of life. It goes beyond access to menstrual products by addressing education, healthcare, hygiene, symptom management, emotional well-being, and informed decision-making.
At No More Secrets Mind Body Spirit Inc., we recognize that menstruation is not simply a monthly event, it is a lifelong health experience that requires knowledge, resources, support, and dignity.
MMM includes:
• Access to a variety of menstrual products and supplies
• Education about the menstrual cycle and reproductive health
• Support for conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, bleeding disorders, and perimenopause
• Menstrual hygiene and uterine wellness education
• Safe spaces for conversation, advocacy, and community support
• Tools to help individuals confidently manage menstruation at every age and stage
WHY MENSTRUAL MAINTENANCE & MANAGEMENT MATTERS
Without proper menstrual maintenance and management, individuals may experience:
• Missed school, work, and social opportunities
• Increased stress, anxiety, and embarrassment
• Delayed diagnosis of menstrual and uterine disorders
• Limited access to healthcare and education
• Challenges maintaining daily routines and overall well-being

The SPOT on The Go!
Mobile Menstrual
Health Clinic
"The SPOT on the GO!" is the world's 1st Mobile Menstrual Health Clinic and a direct expansion of "The SPOT Period", the nation's 1st Menstrual Hub and Uterine Wellness center. Launched on April 20th 2022, The SPOT on the GO! aims to spread awareness and education around menstrual health and wellness by bringing the SPOT Period's services directly into our communities, impacting recipients on a larger scale.
The SPOT on the GO!'s intentions are not just to provide menstrual products; using our four prong approach, we create a safe space to destigmatize the menstrual cycle, have one on one conversations, introduce sustainable options and in partnership with nursing students and other medical professionals, conduct menstrual risk assessments and referrals to appropriate resources. Our ultimate goal is to end period shame and stigma in marginalized communities.
