FIRST MOON CIRCLES

Helping Girls Feel Confident About Puberty & Their First Period

A fun, practical and supportive 3-hour experience for girls aged around 9–13 and their mum, parent or trusted adult.

Talking about puberty and periods can feel awkward, confusing or embarrassing — for girls and parents alike. First Moon Circle takes the awkwardness out of those conversations.

Girls learn about their changing bodies, puberty, periods and practical period care in a relaxed, age-appropriate environment where questions are welcomed and nothing is too embarrassing to ask.

Sharon, thank you so much for yesterday, Amelia really enjoyed it and the conversation continued on the ride home. It's wonderful to have such open conversations and feel like she can ask me anything:)

For anyone local to Launceston or Tassie really, it’s worth the trip.

I took my 11 year old daughter along to a first moon circle with Sharon and it was fantastic. A great positive introduction to the world of menstruation.

It started and helped continue some great conversations about women’s bodies and gave the girls the confidence in knowing, owning and being proud of all things feminine. Helping them understand they don’t need to be ashamed or afraid of their bodies.

I would highly recommend to any parents of girls.

I will definitely be taking my younger daughter too x

Thank you so much for the wonderful workshop last weekend. The next day at the supermarket Georgie (12) got right into buying resuable pads and period accessories and was being open and talkative and we have been able to have some great conversations. So thanks for melting that embarrassment barrier for her

I'm Sharon, a Certified First Moon Circle Facilitator, Registered Nurse with over 20 years experience in Paediatrics, IVF and Women's Health Nursing, University trained Naturopath, Certified Menstrual Cycle Coach and Natural Fertility Educator.

I became a first moon facilitator to help educate children more thoroughly and positively about puberty and periods than what is accessible through current mainstream avenues. I wanted to normalise and to make these conversations easier for child and parent. Understanding our bodies, feeling confident, prepared and knowing how to care for ourselves is vital for our own health, happiness, fertility and performance. Getting this right is important and I love being able to celebrate this important stage in a young persons life, and sharing this valuable information with families in a fun & relaxed way.

“My daughter loved the first moon circle for girls. Having all her friends there helped to make it a great experience. She was really comfortable telling me everything she learned and said she wasn’t scared about getting her period anymore. I think she really took on board everything you had to say and having the relaxed atmosphere really helped. Totally worth it!!

Ava and I LOVED our time with you yesterday. There is so much I want to tell/say/thank you for. I would love to talk about what or how we could do more with you..? My husband and I can really see what a big and positive impact you made on Ava yesterday. It was a really special afternoon - the way Ava is talking about her time with you and the changes I've noted in her since are amazing.

For anyone local to Launceston or Tassie really, it’s worth the trip. I took my 11 year old daughter along to a first moon circle with Sharon and it was fantastic.

Thanks so much for this mornings circle. My daughter really enjoyed it and loved learning more about periods in a safe environment. Thank you for providing such a lovely opportunity to learn about self-care and grounding from a sensitive professional.

Thank you- this is important for all of us. Listening to you talk about the seasons as a way of understanding how things change throughout our cycle, making decisions based on where we’re at, not beating ourselves up when we just feel like retreating from the world etc etc, it was such an important reminder about being aware, acknowledging how we feel, and choosing how to respond in a way that is supportive to our own needs. My daughter and I had a fabulous time - thank you so much.

Sharon, thank you so much for yesterday, Amelia really enjoyed it and the conversation continued on the ride home. It's wonderful to have such open conversations and feel like she can ask me anything:)

My daughter loved the first moon circle. She said it was the best thing about periods she had done. She learned so much and found you lovely & easy to talk to. 'Sharon made it so easy to understand'.
