“Communities, countries and ultimately the world, are only as strong as their women's health.”
– Michelle Obama.
Connecting women with innovative naturopathic wellness sparks a passion in me. I have struggled with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome for 10 years now. I looked first to medical doctors for diagnosis and recognition that there was an actual physiological problem. It took me changing my primary doctor who would not believe I was running 25+ miles a week and eating pretty dang healthy but packing on 30+ pounds in just a couple months.
Finally getting to a specialist almost a year later, I then was able to find a bit of relief to the hormonal havoc it was causing my body. Since then, a decade later, I have found through a balance of naturopathic methods and traditional methods what works for my body and my type of PCOS.
In the fast-paced world of health and wellness, women are increasingly seeking innovative and naturopathic options to enhance their well-being. Crafting a brand that resonates with these women requires more than just products; it demands a witty and clear voice that captures their attention and builds trust.
In this blog post, we’ll delve into the art of branding women’s health and wellness companies, exploring how wit and clarity can connect with the women who benefit most from these holistic approaches.
1 – Understanding Your Audience:
To create a brand that truly speaks to women seeking naturopathic options, it’s essential to understand their needs, preferences, and aspirations. Conduct thorough research to identify their pain points and desires, allowing you to tailor your messaging accordingly.
2 – Finding Your Unapologetic Voice:
Wit and clarity of voice are paramount when communicating with your target audience. Develop a brand voice that strikes a balance between informative and relatable. Use language that resonates with your audience while showcasing your expertise in the naturopathic wellness space.
The taboo nature of women’s wellness is not an easy stigma to overcome. We have to be unapologetic about our offerings in order to break this blockage of information.
I’ve since leaned into my irreverent designs as an outlet to my personal emotional wellness while fighting PCOS and all the effects its hormonal roller coaster has rot upon my daily life. Resonating with a traditionally underserved market requires boldness!

3 – Leveraging the Moon Connection:
Ah, the moon – a mistress of mystery, a beacon of beauty! With its gentle glow and captivating phases, the moon knows how to keep us on our toes. It’s the celestial chameleon, transforming from a delicate crescent to a full, round glory.
Incorporating lunar phases into your branding can be a unique way to resonate with women seeking holistic wellness. Highlighting how these phases align with different aspects of their health journey, offering products and services tailored to each phase.

4 – Visual Identity:
Your brand’s visual elements should reflect its essence and resonate with your target audience. Choose colors, imagery, and design elements that evoke feelings of calm, balance, and empowerment.
Embracing the visual identity of the feminine moon, Moonthlies, evokes feelings that resonate with their target audience. The subtle power and attributes in her different phases, gives us cause to celebrate rather than disdain.
Empowered with new age products we can then dance under the lunar glow, raising our glasses and reveling in its enchanting beauty and the cosmic wonder it brings to our lives. After all, you can’t get scorched from basking in the moonlight!
5 – Storytelling with Impact:
Craft compelling stories that showcase real-life transformations and successes. Sharing personal narratives can build an emotional connection with your audience, fostering trust and encouraging them to explore your naturopathic options.
The Vagina Blog has been a fabulous example of storytelling with the ultimate cosmic showdown. Pitting the enigmatic female moon against the fiery male sun, April, educates her audience. Impactful storytelling illustrates how to lean into the feminine lunar cycles.
On the other hand, the male sun – bold, bright, and unapologetically hot. The ever-reliable daily source of warmth and light that keeps our world spinning. Its daily cycles are at the core of our solar system, business schedules and work ethic expectations. It’s like that friend who always insists on being the center of attention, burning brightly with an intense passion. But hey, there’s something to be said about their reliability – they show up every day, rain or shine.
6 – Empowering through Education:
Educate your audience about the benefits of naturopathic approaches. I’ve sadly known many women who do not understand the basics of female anatomy.
Create content that explains how these methods work and their potential impact on women’s health. A well-informed audience is more likely to engage with your brand and trust your offerings.
7 – Transparency and Authenticity:
Women seeking naturopathic options value transparency and authenticity. Clearly communicate your company’s mission, values, and the science behind your products or services. This builds credibility and trust among your audience.
8 – Engaging on Social Media:
Use social media platforms to engage with your audience regularly. Share informative content, tips, and interactive posts that encourage conversations. Respond promptly to comments and messages, showcasing your dedication to women’s wellness.

Remember, a successful brand is one that not only offers products or services but also empowers and uplifts the lives of the women it serves.
