¡Sé el jefe de tu periodo!

At the end of this 1 hour class, girls will have an understanding of what happens in their bodies as they go through puberty in a comfortable setting that will lead to them feeling confident about their periods and changing bodies.

This 1 hour class will start with them understanding basic female anatomy:
They will learn about breasts and their function, breast development, hair growth and change, the role of the ovaries, uterus and vagina in age appropriate terms and age appropriate graphics of the above organs. 

Students will learn about specific hormones that impact how their ovaries, uterus and vagina function.
*Progesterone and how it is made in the brain, gut and ovaries; how it impacts their mood as well as the regularity of their menstrual cycle
*Estrogen and how it changes through the menstrual cycle contributing to our daily energy
*Testosterone 
*Cortisol as a stress hormone and how that can impact their monthly cycle, mood and sleep

They will learn about the function of the vagina as a means to eliminate menstrual blood and uterine tissue with each menstrual cycle, as well as the exit of the fetus through childbirth. This is NOT a sex education class and I will not be teaching about any of the reproductive organs in relationship to sexual intercourse.

Students do not need any prior education on this topic to come to this class. I will explain in a simple and easy to comprehend way to ensure students understand the wide range of experiences of a menstrual cycle and puberty changes. 

I have a fun, engaging and light hearted teaching style that will enable students to feel safe to ask questions, learn about their bodies and leave with confidence. 

If you want to understand how your body will change through puberty and how to navigate your periods with confidence, then this class is for you!
