Our goal is to introduce kids to what a period is in a way that’s both accessible and easy to understand.
We aim to demystify the entire process, from understanding how and why menstruation happens, to managing it.

Period talks are great for private groups!
A period talk for private groups like schools, a group of friends, or Girl Scouts helps kids learn about their bodies in a fun and friendly way, building confidence and making the topic feel less intimidating.
Plus, being within a trusted community provides a relaxed setting, making it easier for them to feel good about what they’re learning.
Maximize connection, minimize awkward moments.
Our period talks provide a positive and fun experience that strengthens your relationship and empowers your kid.
In addition, they create a lasting connection and allow kids to see that periods are perfectly natural and nothing to be shy about.
I didn't even know where to start with this topic.
I like to be very private. This talk was able to give my daughter what I couldn't put into words.
The Period Academy was a perfect fit for our junior Girl Scout troop.
The girls laughed and learned so much and the parents were all so grateful.
The Period Academy is what we all knew we needed, but never existed.
Also taught by an RN? Sign me up.
This is so needed for my daughter, who is 10.
I am greatly appreciative for this talk with a nurse.
This session was the perfect fit for my girls.
They are 10 and 11... Nurse Al did such a great job of explaining "periods" in a way for them to understand their own bodies.
Wish we had Nurse Al and something like this when I was young!
I love the message of empowerment and helping other girls when in need.
I'd highly recommend for anyone!
Whether it's your daughter, granddaughter, niece, they should feel knowledgeable and CONFIDENT in their amazing, changing body.
This is for so many different types of people.
Young kids who know it's coming, parents who feel nervous to have the convo themselves, AND SO MANY MORE TYPES OF PEOPLE!
The nurse was funny and engaging with our Girl Scout troop.
She explained everything to them in a way they could understand... It took some of the fear and embarrassment out of it all.
Informative, fun (who knew?!), and so very practical.
Great presentation, super engaging Q&A, and an adorable pouch filled with all period necessities to take home!
