Body Wise
A three-part puberty workshop for girls in 4th through 6th grade and their moms or primary caregivers
“I wish this class existed when I was going through puberty”
“Every girl and her mom should take this class”
- Every mother on the last day of class
Body Wise gives girls and the moms or caregivers raising them a warm, guided space to learn about growing bodies together, so the conversations that feel awkward now become the ones you know how to have, and keep having, for years to come.
WHY START NOW
Puberty brings a lot of questions, and many girls aren't sure who to ask. For a lot of moms and caregivers, knowing what to say, or when to say it, is the hard part.
Body Wise takes the pressure off both of you. Instead of one big talk, we build the conversation together over three sessions, with activities and guided discussions that make it feel natural to ask questions, laugh a little and talk about the things that might otherwise stay unsaid.
WHAT WE COVER
Body Basics, The Menstrual Cycle & Period Products, Vision Boarding, Vulnerability, Mood & Energy, Hormones, Body Hair & Removal
WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH
Accurate knowledge about what's happening in a growing body
Confidence around periods and period products
A shared language for talking about bodies and feelings
A stronger connection, and a habit of turning toward each other with the hard questions
Each session blends hands-on activities, facilitated conversations and short teaching moments.
Each pair practices being a vulnerable with each other in a setting that feels safe and supportive.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
-
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 6th 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.
