About Lucy

Lucy Peach is a period preacher, author, and folksinger. Lucy is a long-time champion of the power of the menstrual cycle and an advocate for self-love and positive body literacy. She’s educated and empowered thousands with her theatre performances, workshops, and book, using science stories and songs to shift the period narrative in our culture from one of shame to one of pride. 

 

Lucy has spent the past two decades studying human biology, woman’s health & wellbeing, and Menstruality Leadership. She has a Bachelor of Science in human biology and biomedicine with honours in medicine, and a graduate diploma of education in human biology. Lucy started her career as a human biology teacher and sexual health educator while building a parallel career as a stadium-folk-pop singer song-writer. A long-time proponent of menstrual cycle awareness, Lucy used her own cycle as a tool to create music that won her WA’s Best Folk Act of 2016.
