The videos typically shown in school are designed to briefly introduce puberty and menstruation. Our class goes much deeper. This is an interactive, educational experience where both mothers and daughters learn together. We explain how the body actually works, what physical and emotional changes to expect, how the menstrual cycle functions, and how to confidently navigate period products and symptoms. The goal is to replace confusion with understanding — and help families feel more prepared for this transition.

Sexual activity is not discussed in this class. We believe those conversations are best guided by parents when they feel their child is ready. Our focus remains on puberty education, menstrual health, anatomy, and understanding how the body changes during adolescence. Scientific terminology and anatomy are explained clearly, but discussions about intimacy are intentionally left out so the class can remain focused on puberty and period education.

No. This class is designed to be a shared learning experience for both mothers and daughters. Attending together allows families to build a common understanding of puberty and the menstrual cycle while opening the door for ongoing conversations at home.

The goal is not only to educate your daughter, but also to help parents feel confident supporting her through this stage of development.

The class is designed for girls approximately ages 9–13, which is typically when many begin experiencing or preparing for the changes of puberty.

However, every child develops at their own pace. If your daughter is slightly younger or older but beginning to ask questions about puberty or periods, the class can still be very beneficial.

Our in-person classes are intentionally kept small to create a comfortable and supportive environment. Smaller groups allow for meaningful discussion, thoughtful teaching, and time for questions while still maintaining a welcoming group atmosphere.

You don’t need to bring anything special. All educational materials and resources are provided during the session. We recommend simply arriving ready to learn and participate in the conversation. Many families find it helpful to bring a notebook if they would like to jot down notes or questions.

Yes. We always leave time for questions during the class. Some questions are addressed as part of the teaching, and others can be asked during designated discussion time. Our goal is to make sure attendees leave feeling informed and supported, with their most important questions answered.

Yes. Many women continue to experience symptoms well after their final menstrual period. This class provides valuable education about post-menopausal changes, pelvic health, and wellness strategies that support long-term health. You’ll also learn about screenings, lifestyle strategies, and ways to support bone health, metabolism, energy, and pelvic floor function moving forward.

Not at all. This class is designed for women 35 and older who want to be proactive about their health. Hormonal changes often begin years before menopause itself, and understanding these shifts early can help protect your energy levels, pelvic health, bone health, and overall well-being. Learning about these changes sooner allows you to make informed decisions before symptoms become more disruptive.

Yes. The class is designed to provide clear, practical direction. You will leave with guidance on how to support your body during perimenopause, including exercise strategies, lifestyle considerations, conversations to have with your healthcare provider, and practical next steps that can be applied to daily life. The goal is for you to leave feeling informed, supported, and equipped with actionable tools.

Labor and delivery preparation refers to the process of getting ready for childbirth. It includes physical, emotional, and informational aspects to ensure a smoother and more positive birthing experience.

Most women take the class during the second or early third trimester (around 20–34 weeks). This timing allows you to learn the concepts early enough to practice the techniques before labor begins, while the information is still fresh as you approach your due date. However, the class can still be helpful at any point during pregnancy.

No. This class is designed to support all birth experiences. Whether you are planning an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, or even a cesarean delivery, understanding how your pelvic floor, breathing, and body mechanics work during labor can help support your experience and recovery. The goal is to help you work with your body, regardless of the type of birth you have.

Yes. Partners are encouraged to attend. Many participants bring their partner so they can learn how to support positioning, breathing, and comfort techniques during labor. Having a shared understanding can help partners feel more confident and involved during the birth process.

Yes. The class includes practical techniques that can be used during pregnancy and labor. These may include breathing strategies, body positioning, movement patterns that support baby’s descent, and ways to prepare the pelvic floor for delivery. The goal is to give you tools you can practice before labor and use during birth.

One of the goals of birth preparation is to help the pelvic floor lengthen and relax effectively during delivery. The class teaches strategies that may help reduce excessive tension in the pelvic floor and support more coordinated pushing. While no class can guarantee a specific birth outcome, preparation can help the body function more efficiently during labor.

The class can still be very beneficial. Understanding pelvic floor function, breathing mechanics, and movement patterns can help support your body during pregnancy and may also improve recovery after surgery.

Birth Prep focuses specifically on how the body works during labor, especially the pelvic floor, breathing, and movement. It complements traditional childbirth education by giving you a deeper understanding of the physical mechanics of birth and how to support your body throughout the process.
