Sharing some feedback from circles I’ve run in the last few months. My next public circle will likely be Spring 2026, but I do have some availability for private/friendships circles before that ⭕️

What goes into our period products has been a huge theme over the last year in circles. I get asked a lot by caregivers how I approach this in circles and how they can approach it with their children. I believe in judgement free period product choice - period product access remains a huge issue and in an ideal world we’d all use sustainable, chemical free options, that is not a reality for all women. Recent research about tampons clearly highlights the urgent need for proper regulation, transparency and honesty by our period product manufacturers who must do better to inform us about their ingredients and processes. Some businesses are doing this much better than others but of course their products come at a premium. Bottom line for me is always education - good quality information, credible sources and fact checking so that people can be empowered to make informed choices about what is right for them.

Hello! I’m Beth, and I’m a teacher in the UK. Back in 2017, I discovered menstrual cycle awareness and couldn’t understand why I’d never known about it before! I trained to be a Menstrual Cycle Coach with and to be an first_moon_circles facilitator and in 2022, I launched Bloom & Belong CIC, delivering period education workshops and empowerment groups in schools and communities across the UK.
At the heart of what I do is empowerment and belonging, two concepts I think are crucial for young people today.
Here are some things you might not know!
☀️ I love to read crime novels - let me know any of your faves!
☀️ I am a current Director of 6th Form at a secondary school and work 4 days a week, which enables me to run B&B on the 5th day 🙂
☀️ I have two daughters, aged 6 and 9 who are my world and such an inspiration for the work I do
☀️ I love to walk and go for at least an hour every day - it’s a non negotiable
☀️ I manage ADHD and autoimmune disease and share some of that journey online
☀️ I LOVE a European center parcs and aim to visit as many as I can before the kids get older!

I currently have a wait time of 7-8 months for first moon circles so please do get in touch if you have a group of 5-6 girls aged 8-13 who would like to attend.

I am also launching Seasons of Sisterhood, a year long journey for 10-12 yr old girls that will educate and equip them with skills and knowledge to be empowered to thrive in our modern world.

Since I started running in 2022 I’ve always found there periodically seems to be a flurry of demand! Balancing my capacity is one of the things I find most challenging about running B&B because the reality is I’d love to be holding circles every day 🤣 I won’t be setting another public date now until 2026, but if you have a friendship group who want to attend together the wait time is slightly shorter. I run these friendship group circles all over - I’ve been to Brighton, London, Birmingham to name a few - if you have a group, I can come to you! 🙂 Website link in bio for more info

Seasons of Sisterhood is a year long program for 10-12 year old girls that will equip them with skills and knowledge to be empowered to thrive in our modern world. It will also provide connection and a sense of belonging as the girls meet monthly throughout the year (online and in person) and experience the power of sisterhood. This post focuses on the transition to secondary school, but the program is also suited to home educated children. Secondary school is just one transition at this time of life where lots of things shift and change. Website link in bio for more info!

Really excited about this upcoming project, and I am working on packaging up the intervention as a downloadable guide that can be purchased. It’s not the only answer - it’s a really complex issue and lots of other things need to change too, but educating and empowering as many people as possible about periods is a great place to start! One of my most common questions is “my school won’t let us use the toilet during lessons, how do I manage on my period?” I have done loads of videos with advice about this and always happy to answer any questions. I’d love to hear your experience of periods in school.

I was reading some research yesterday about the power and impact of nurture groups. The reason we’ve chosen to run this program for 10-12 yr olds is because there is so much going on at this time. Puberty with all its physical and emotional changes, transition to secondary school, potentially menarche, friendship changes - it’s a busy time! The research I was reading discussed the positive impact a nurture group can have during this time specifically 🩷 we can’t wait to start on Aug 28th - pls do get in touch or check out the website to find out more
