Class Experience

During this course, we will discuss why periods happen to the human body, different products that can be used (ie. pads, panty liners, and tampons) and when they should be used during your cycle. Additionally students will be given tools and materials such as: ideas on how to create a mood tracker, basic stretches and a workbook that includes journaling prompts, empowering poems from Rupi Kaur, Danielle Doby and more!

This class is taught in English.

Students will learn the different sizes of period products and why having a variety might be helpful.
Students will learn tools to help them feel better during their period.

As a middle school English teacher I coached BStrong BFit which was a program designed with UCHealth in the state of Colorado. Part of the coaching and curriculum included conversations/trainings on how to talk to students about their period, this then allowed me to assist male health teachers approach this subject within their classrooms. Additionally, I ran a program called Made of Magic which discussed topics around menstrual health at Poudre High School and Bill Reed Middle School in Northern Colorado.

Other certifications I have received will help this course include:
Foundations of Mindfulness by Rice University
The Science of Well-Being by Stanford University
