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.
