Inspiring confidence, connection and body awareness for mums and daughters.

A beautiful, nourishing afternoon designed to help mothers and daughters feel more connected, informed and confident as they navigate the changes of puberty. Together, we celebrate this important transition with warmth, wisdom and support, so both mums and girls leave feeling empowered and prepared.

Our daughters are growing up in a fast-paced world – one that doesn’t always honour the sacred transition into womanhood. That’s why this workshop was born.

The Empowered Puberty Workshop is a nurturing, joyful and confidence-building experience for girls aged 8 – 12 and their mums (or trusted caregivers). Together, you’ll explore the journey of puberty through storytelling, movement, crafting, and education, all within a supportive, connected community.

Led by nutritionist Emily Gardem and yoga instructor Vanessa Negroni, this beautiful afternoon weaves together ancient wisdom with modern support. It’s a space where your daughter can feel seen, heard, and celebrated, and where you can show up as her steady guide, equipped with knowledge and love.

What to Expect:

Over three nourishing hours, we’ll explore:

• What puberty and periods are – and what to expect, feel and notice
• How hormones and the menstrual cycle affect our energy, moods and needs
• Natural self-care rituals and skin care for tweens
• Period product options – with a chance to touch, feel and ask questions
• The power of cycle awareness and body literacy
• Open Q&A time with Emily – no question too awkward or embarrassing!

This isn’t a lecture, it’s a warm, fun and interactive experience, designed to spark connection, ease curiosity and inspire confidence in both you and your daughter.

Workshop Highlights:

• Gentle Yoga & Sound Healing Meditation: Led by Vanessa – to ground, relax and open the afternoon
• Puberty Education Circle: Guided by Emily – using storytelling, visuals, and open dialogue
• Herbal Crafting Station: Create a flower crown and soothing bath soak using herbs and petals
• Special Gift Bags: Both mum and daughter receive curated bags with journals and beautiful take-home tools
• Cacao & Celebration: Close the afternoon with delicious, nourishing treats as we honour this transition

There will also be an optional ‘First Moon’ gift kit available to purchase on the day – or bring your own from home. This moment is sacred, and we want to help you mark it in whatever way feels most meaningful for your family.

Who is this workshop for?

• Girls aged 8 – 12 years, who are beginning to notice changes or are curious about periods and growing up
• Mums, step-mums, foster mums, aunties, grandmothers and female carers – all are welcome in circle
• Families wanting a gentle, empowering, and practical introduction to puberty and the menstrual cycle

You don’t need to know all the answers or have it all figured out – that’s what we’re here for. This is about showing up with love, curiosity and an open heart.

Why this workshop matters:

Puberty doesn’t have to be awkward, overwhelming or something to “just get through.” It can be beautiful, grounding and deeply empowering, especially when we have the right tools, language and support. Let’s raise a generation of girls who feel confident in their bodies, connected to their cycles, and supported by the women around them – creating ripples of change for the future.
