Rosie Sheba - Owner/Director
Rosie is an adventurer from Adelaide, South Australia. Rosie has been passionate about our environment from an early age, and won the National Future Leader's Environment award in 2005. She was also a finalist in the SA Young Achievers Awards the same year. Rosie studied a Bachelor of Science with honours at the Australian National University, and then spent several years travelling, working and learning about the world. She moved back to Adelaide in 2013, as she decided it really is the most liveable city in the world. Rosie is motivated by wanting to make the world, especially South Australia, a better place. After buying her first silicone menstrual, Rosie realised she would love other Australian women to experience the freedom of menstrual cups too. What began as a desire to share the benefits of using a menstrual cup amongst her friends, has developed into a rapidly expanding movement.
In 2015, Rosie spent two months cycling from Austin, Texas, to Boston, Massachusetts in the USA with Sustainable Cycles - a group of women promoting alternative menstrual options. They gave workshops on reusable menstrual products, and presented their work at the biennial Society for Menstrual Cycle Research Conference in Boston.
Rosie has a background in presenting, instructing and biology, and uses these skills in the workshops she gives. She is also a dancer and freediver, and uses movement and deep breathing to aid in the natural relief of period pain.

Paloma Alma - Sustainable Menstruation Advocate
Two years ago, when Paloma decided to try "that weird thing nobody around me knew about" a.k.a. the menstrual cup, she never thought it would bring so much bliss and change to her life. Her journey until recently has been pretty solitary. When she started using a cup, nobody around her used one or knew about them, nobody talked, nobody wondered. Researching the cup and how to use it has opened many doors since then. She has become a wiser woman, in contact with her cycle, and the wonders it can bring to her life.
In May 2015, for the International Menstrual Hygiene Day, Paloma and a colleague put together the first Menstravaganza, an event to create awareness of the situation of many people around the world who don’t have access to information or menstrual products, despite living in a modern world with modern ‘necessities’. The aim was to inform and share and in a festive way. They brought a three metre high vulva installation to welcome guests! They wanted everyone involved, so men were also an important part of the event. Getting the male perspective, and having men involved in menstrual education and awareness is essential to a collaborative, open future.
"This is why I want and need to share, I want every girl and woman in the world to know their options, that there is happiness to being a woman. Let’s celebrate our womanhood as sisters, let’s share and speak up because we carry within ourselves the wonders of creation and creativity. We can do it, let’s figure it out together."
