A Magical, Empowering Way to Celebrate Her First Period

Bring the empowering experience of a First Moon Circle right to your community! I travel to your home, school, troop, or group anywhere in Utah and beyond. These private gatherings blend first period education, menstrual wellness, and coming-of-age celebration into a memorable experience that girls (and their caregivers) will treasure for years.

Whether you’re a mom wanting a personal celebration, a Girl Scout leader, a homeschool co-op, or a teacher seeking a gentle and empowering puberty program, a Private First Moon Circle creates the perfect space to learn, connect, and honor this meaningful milestone together.

Private First Moon Circles are the perfect first period class or workshop for girls and their caregivers.

What's Included

Each Private First Moon Circle is a thoughtfully guided experience that combines education, preparation, and celebration. Every gathering includes:

  • Age-appropriate, body-positive first period education
  • Hands-on learning about cycles, self-care, period products, and body wisdom
  • Connection activities for girls and their mothers or trusted adults
  • Celebratory rituals to honor each girl’s unique transition into womanhood
  • A warm, safe, and inclusive space for honest questions and shared stories

Designed for All Kinds of Groups

Private First Moon Circles are ideal for:

  • Families or close friend groups
  • Homeschool and micro-school communities
  • Girl Scout troops or youth programs
  • Sports teams and extracurricular groups
  • Schools and educators seeking menstrual education

I’m based in Utah County and happily travel throughout Utah and surrounding states, even nationwide, with a travel fee.

Why Families Love Private Circles

Parents often tell me this experience is one of the most meaningful things they’ve ever shared with their daughters. Girls leave feeling:

  • Confident and ready for their first period
  • Informed about how their body works
  • Comfortable asking questions and talking about menstruation
  • Proud to be growing up

It’s education wrapped in celebration. A moment she’ll remember as beautiful and powerful, not awkward or scary.

FAQ

What is a Private First Moon Circle?

A Private First Moon Circle is an intimate, celebratory, and educational gathering designed to prepare girls for their first period in a positive and empowering way. It blends first period education, menstrual wellness, and coming-of-age celebration to help girls feel informed, confident, and proud as they grow.

For more information on First Moon Circles, visit About First Moon Circles.

Who are Private First Moon Circles for?

These circles are perfect for families, homeschool groups, Girl Scout troops, sports teams, schools, or groups of friends who want a private, customized experience. They’re designed for girls typically aged 8–14, before or just after their first period (also called "menarche" or their "first moon.")

How is a Private Circle different from a regular First Moon Circle?

Private Circles are created just for your group, meaning the setting, date, and attendees are closed to the public and cater instead to your unique group. It’s an intimate way to share this milestone with the people who matter most.

What happens during a Private First Moon Circle?

Each Circle includes age-appropriate first period education, guided discussions, creative activities, and gentle celebration rituals. We talk about how the menstrual cycle works, how to care for your body, and how to embrace this new stage of life with confidence and pride. Every gathering ends with a simple ceremony to celebrate this beautiful transition.

Where can a Private First Moon Circle be held?

Anywhere that feels safe and comfortable! I can host your Circle in your home, a classroom, community space, retreat center, or outdoor venue. I’m based in Utah County but travel throughout Utah and surrounding states. And I’m happy to go farther for groups outside the region.

Do you travel outside Utah?

Yes! I regularly travel throughout Utah and neighboring states, and I’m happy to discuss traveling farther for schools, organizations, or special groups. Travel fees vary based on distance and accommodations, but I do my best to make it easy and accessible.

How does the traveling fee work?

There is no traveling fee within Utah County or Salt Lake County.

Beyond those areas, the traveling fee is the standard IRS mileage reimbursement if I drive, and if I fly, the fee includes all travel costs.

The traveling fee can be paid at the First Moon Circle, split between attendees or covered by the organizer. If split between attendees, please communicate that clearly to all attendees.

How many people can attend?

Private Circles typically include 5–10 mother–daughter pairs, though I can adapt for smaller or larger groups. I like to keep these Circles small and intimate to prioritize each child's comfort and ability to ask questions.

What age is best to attend?

Most girls attend around ages 8–12, ideally before their first period so they feel confident and prepared. However, girls who have recently started menstruating are also welcome — the experience is just as meaningful for them! And a Circle can be filled with children of varying ages.

How long does a Circle last?

Private First Moon Circles last about 3.5 hours. They’re spaciously paced to allow time for learning, discussion, snacks, and celebration without feeling rushed.

Do you offer online or virtual Circles?

While the experience is most powerful in person, I occasionally offer virtual First Moon Circles for groups in other states or countries. Contact me if that’s something you’re interested in!

What if I need help filling my Circle?

If an organizer needs help filling spots, I can provide advertising materials and can also invite those on my waitlist. The organizer agrees to advertise locally if needed with my support. I want to make this as easy on you as possible but you also have more access to your local community than I do!

Testimonials

  • Child participant

    "I got to learn all about my period and body parts for when I need it and so I can talk about it without being embarrassed."

  • Parent

    "Elizabeth was phenomenal. 11/10. Six stars!!"

  • Parent

    "My daughter and I had a great time at the First Moon Circle! #1 takeaway for her was that she feels more comfortable about it with less shame or mystery."

  • Parent

    "Talking about puberty in a group of women and girls was invaluable - something we can’t create at home. It will build a sense of connection for my daughter as she grows up and revisits these topics. I found the four different weeks of the cycle REALLY HELPFUL."

  • Parent

    "After my daughter attended, she told me, 'I was really scared to start my period but I didn't want to tell you that. But now I'm not scared at all and I feel totally prepared!' It made me so happy for her!"

  • Parent

    "It was truly a transformative experience. My daughter felt empowered as she learned about her body and the changes she will experience. It was heartwarming to see the girls support each other, building a strong sense of sisterhood."
