How to Join Nadi as an Early User or Run a Nadi Workplace Cohort

Updated

Nadi is currently in beta, and there are two distinct ways to get involved: as an individual early user, or as a workplace running a pilot. Individuals join the early-user group and add their four cycle phases to the Google or Apple calendar they already use. Workplaces either start with a free self-assessment scorecard or run a Nadi Workplace Cohort — a time-boxed pilot aimed at helping experienced women keep doing their best work. Both paths are described on the Nadi site, with entry points for each.

Joining as an early user

The individual route is built around a simple idea: your cycle becomes a foundation for how you feel, live and plan, and it shows up in a calendar you already use rather than in a separate app.

What you get

  • Your four phases — follicular, ovulatory, luteal and menstrual — displayed in your existing Google or Apple calendar.
  • A day-to-day view of how your cycle shapes how you feel, live and work, alongside other early users.

How to join

  1. Go to the Nadi site and choose the option to become an early user.
  2. Add your cycle to your calendar using the Google or Apple calendar you already plan in.
  3. Expect your phases to appear within that calendar as part of the beta experience.

Why the calendar approach matters

One early user quoted on the site, Emily, a writer and director, highlighted that Nadi "doesn't require yet another app — syncing with your current calendar is such a brilliantly simple idea." That is the practical difference: you keep planning where you already plan, and the cycle information sits alongside standups, school runs and deep-work blocks rather than in a tool you have to remember to open.

Other early reactions on the page point to the same appeal. Laurence, a career coach, described manually blocking out a "slow down week" in Outlook before her period in a previous banking role, and noted it would be "so much better if this can be automated." Jess, a wellbeing practitioner, signed up and described it as "soooo useful." These are early-user impressions from the beta period, not verified outcomes, but they show the intended use: anticipating and planning around phases instead of reacting to them.

Running a Nadi Workplace Cohort

The workplace path starts from a question the site poses directly: how menstrual cycle-aware is your workplace?

Option 1: the free self-assessment scorecard

  • It is informed by BS ISO 45010 (ISO 45010:2026).
  • It consists of 12 questions across six areas.
  • It returns a scorecard plus practical next steps.
  • It is described as free and takes about 3 minutes.

This is the lowest-commitment starting point. It gives you a structured read on where your workplace currently stands before you decide whether to run a pilot.

Option 2: a Nadi Workplace Cohort

  • It is a time-boxed pilot.
  • It is aimed at helping experienced women keep doing their best work.
  • The site provides a sessions overview for workplaces that want to understand the format before committing.

The cohort is the deeper option: rather than a one-off score, it is a bounded programme with sessions. The scorecard is the natural first step if you are still making the case internally; the cohort is for workplaces ready to run something with a start and end date.

Choosing between the two paths

Individual early user Workplace
Starting point Become an early user Free BS ISO 45010 scorecard, or a Workplace Cohort
Commitment Beta participation 3-minute self-assessment, or a time-boxed pilot
Where it lives Your Google or Apple calendar Workplace programme with sessions
Best if You want your cycle visible in your daily planning You want to assess or improve cycle-awareness at an organisational level

If you are an individual, the decision is straightforward — join the early users and add your cycle to your calendar. If you are acting for a workplace, start with the free scorecard to get a baseline, then use the sessions overview to judge whether a cohort fits your organisation.

What to keep in mind

  • Nadi is in beta, so the individual experience is an early-user one rather than a finished product.
  • The workplace scorecard is a self-assessment, not a certification — it produces a score and next steps.
  • The cohort is described as time-boxed and oriented toward experienced women continuing to do their best work, so it is a targeted pilot rather than a general wellness programme.
  • The site references subscribing, but no pricing details or payment terms are given on the page; treat cost and access conditions as unconfirmed until Nadi states them.
