Bodywise Retreats are for mothers and their pre-teen (8-13yo) daughters.
Designed to educate your daughter about puberty and periods, Bodywise Retreats are offered as an educational and ceremonial experience honouring and celebrating this rite of passage.
This supports her to develop a healthy relationship with her body, foundational self care practices and feel a sense of belonging which nurtures her mental and emotional health. We honour the transition within your daughter as well as you in each event because as she evolves, so too do we.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
For me it was amazing to witness how casually we talked about this important topic, I grew up with a lot of shame around my period and I feel grateful that my daughter's experience with her period and puberty will be more positive and empowering because of these valuable teachings.
Urska
This is the future of my generation. Thank you for helping me understand that I am just as I am meant to be.
14yo, Rites of Passage Camp
It opened up such meaningful conversations. It gave our daughter the confidence to chat openly about her experience and all the things to come. She rang her grandmother straight away to share and chatted openly around the dinner table that night with her Dad as well. So grateful to Kate for shining her light on this important time in our girls lives and how we can best support our daughters through this time. I would highly recommend Kate‘s workshops and retreats to all families.
Freedom
My girl had been sitting in such isolation and shame after starting her period early. It was so good to have periods normalised and openly spoken about.
She finally opened up and told her best friend what was happneing for her the next day.
Anita
My daughter told me when she got her first period that 'the Circle thing you took me to, it was good because I knew everything and it wasn't scary, I knew how to use the pads and things and I just knew what to do.'
I have loved every moment of Kate’s workshops. I laughed, I cried, I learnt things, and experienced profound insights into our mother/daughter relationship, and also my own life’s journey as a woman. Kate’s assured wisdom and attuned presence creates a safe and light-hearted space to reflect, learn and connect.
Loving the peace of mind I have knowing she's getting such a no fuss and detailed practical information about all things periods and puberty and opening the doors to conversations with friends.
Kristy, Bodywise Retreat, Rites of Passage Camp
I took my daughters to Bodywise Retreat when they were 8. They are now 12 and I'm so glad we found a safe space to share openly about the season of puberty and to change the narartive from my experience as a tween.
