CYCLE PREP was originally created by Pearl & Thistle owner, Christina Valenzuela. Again and again, this program receives over 95% approval ratings from attendees, thanks to our intentional program design and high facilitator standards.
To ensure that your community gets the best experience, all licensed CYCLE PREP facilitators:
have completed a certification and training course
work from the same high-quality materials
provide the same standard workbooks and resources
bring their unique flair to the standardized program
If you'd like to experience CYCLE PREP as a live workshop in your parish, school, or other community gathering, contact one of our licensed facilitators to inquire about availability and rates!
Cycle Prep live workshops are a great way to help parents + daughters feel more prepared for the start of a first period, by offering engaging and age-appropriate instruction about:
Finally understand what's actually going on in there as we demystify internal female anatomy and the organs involved in the equation of life (egg + sperm = baby).
There is much more to cycles than just a period bleed! Girls learn all about four key hormones - FSH, estrogen, LH, and progesterone - pivotal to menstruation.
Say goodbye to vague explanations and period anxiety: We break down what it's actually like to have a period, how to use various hygiene products, and what's normal vs. when it's time to call the doctor.
Promote period positivity by learning how cycles affect energy levels and moods, what to put in a "period kit," and how to contribute to a culture of girls-supporting-girls around menstruation.
