The Body Wise Workshop
-
Body Wise is a privately facilitated in-home mother-daughter connection workshop through the lense of puberty for girls ages 8-13, entering 4th grade through 7th grade.
Small groups of 4-6 girls is recommended for intimacy and comfort.
The workshop consists of 3-90 minute sessions that occur on dates coordinated by the group.

Rana Lustyan is the founder of Growing Minds Coaching. Like so many of us, her own puberty education was minimal and confusing, and carried a lot of unanswered questions (and unnecessary shame) well into adulthood. When she became an Executive Functioning Coach working with tweens and teens, alongside a mother of two tween daughters, she saw that same gap play out in family after family: the education received wasn't the education mothers wanted to pass on.
That gap is why she created Body Wise. She believes puberty deserves better than fear based facts delivered in a rush. It deserves science, warmth, and real conversation, the kind that brings a mother and daughter closer instead of further apart. Her goal in every session is simple: give your daughter the puberty education you wish you'd had, and give the two of you a stronger, more connected relationship along the way.
