With Girls Rising Movement host Laura Cowan

A creative, nourishing retreat day for mothers and daughters ready to take a deeper look into hormone health, nervous-system regulation, skin-care and self-empowerment.

This nourishing and creative retreat-day for girls (approx 12 -14 years) and their mothers/elder females, takes a deeper exploration into periods, menstrual-cycle issues, how the nervous-system is linked to hormones and self-empowerment.

They will gain creative and practical tools to help them on their puberty journey. Feel a sense of belonging within a community of women and girls, and more connected with their mother / female role-model.

Mothers will go away feeling connected to other mothers with confidence on how to support their daughters going forward.  Gain practical tools to help support themselves and their daughters as they go through this time together.  Feel more connected to their daughters through this experience and feel a sense of belonging with a community of other mothers and daughters.
