Menopause is about more than hormones! Learn about menopause as a passage into a new phase of life.
reconnecting women to nature and spirit
Many moms wonder how to prepare their daughters for puberty. It can be a challenge, wondering what to say, and when to say it! This is ideally an ongoing conversation that could begin by age 8.
As you know, we don’t really hear anything good about menstruation in modern culture. So it’s no wonder that we can find it hard to talk about!
For many of us, it’s not an easy or pleasant part of our lives. So in spite of our best intentions, we have a hard time presenting it in a positive way to our girls.
I created The Mother’s MOON Kit because it is SO IMPORTANT for girls to get good information
about their bodies and abilities as they enter puberty. The messages girls get from modern culture are damaging and disempowering, and what is shared by schools or scouts is just not enough!
There is a rich women’s history of pride in our bodies and abilities, that we need to draw upon
to give our girls the confidence they need.
The Mother’s MOON Kit online guide will help you provide a greater sense of meaning to your daughter’s transition through puberty so that she has more confidence in her body. She’ll be able to make better decisions about her body, and have more of a sense of the female empowerment that is needed in our culture!
Links for practical matters such as menstrual products & holistic health support, to help your daughter have a healthy cycle.
Ideas for creative projects and topics to share with her, to encourage comfortable conversations.
Ideas for activities such as writing, drawing, and moon-watching, connecting her to her inner wisdom!
Suggestions for gifts and a simple Coming of Age ceremony, honoring her place in the sacred cycle of life.
Most of all, you’ll learn about the magical connection between women and the moon – an entirely new way of viewing the menstrual cycle. Our cycle is a source of power – to be embraced, not ignored!
Moms of daughters! Begin the conversation by age 8 or earlier.
Our conversations with her about the moon, the rhythms of nature, and ways to care for and honor herself can be woven into daily life while she’s still young enough to admit her curiosity and not turn away!
These creative activities can be shared with your daughter, so she can associate beauty with her body and cycles, as she matures.
Moms who want to share more than just a “period talk” with their girls.
By creating NEW conversations and traditions for coming of age, you can help your daughter to love herself and her body! You can share good information with her, that goes well beyond “the basics.”
Lots of Self-Care for Mom as well as Daughter!
The Kit will help YOU to develop more comfort with your own cycles, as well. You deserve this just as much as your daughter does!
Here you’ll find suggestions for reviewing and giving a blessing to your OWN coming of age, when you were a girl. Your “inner girl” will appreciate your attention, just as your daughter will!
Moms AND girls feel more confident and self-assured, once they learn this POSITIVE approach to the menstrual cycle!
