✨ Let’s Talk About It.

This week I’ve been speaking with 1st and 2nd years on all things menstrual health, and honestly, the conversations have been eye-opening!

Most of the girls I spoke to believed pe3iod pain is something they just have to “put up with.” Many didn’t realise how much their hormones influence energy, mood, focus, or that heavy bleeding and irregular cycles can sometimes point to something more.

And so many of them shared that boys need to be part of this conversation too because understanding pe3iods isn’t just about biology, it’s about empathy, equality, and breaking stigma.

Too many young people are learning about their bodies through social media myths and fear-based content, instead of real, empowering education.
It’s time we change that.

🩸 Pe3iods shouldn’t be painful.
🩸 Hormonal health shouldn’t be a mystery.
🩸 And menstrual education shouldn’t stop with girls.

The more we talk, the more we normalise. The more we educate, the less we fear. ❤️

Your pe3iod isn’t a curse... it’s a compass.
What if you were never taught the truth about your cycle? What if the things you’ve been told to hide, hustle through, or numb… are actually your body’s deepest wisdom?

Here are 11 things every girl should learn in school, from a 'big sister' who’s been there and helps other women reconnect with their inner wisdom 💌

It’s time to ditch the shame, track the magic, and start syncing with your own rhythm.

You ready? 💫🌿

I'm currently planning some in person get togethers over the coming months, so make sure you stay up to date here😉🫶🏻

If you're the parent of a teenage girl in 6th year (or any exam year) who's struggling with her cycle, you're not alone. I get asked these questions all the time.

In this post, I’m breaking down 4 of the most common things parents ask me about:

✨ Periods + concentration during exam season
✨ Foods + supplements that actually help
✨ Pain relief - what’s safe, what’s not
✨ And that big one... you'll need to swipe to the end for the most commonly asked.

Your daughter doesn’t have to just “put up with it.” There are ways to support her physically, emotionally, and practically.

Swipe through to learn more

Got a question? Drop it below or DM me privately, I’m here to help🫶🏻

Or if you're a teacher, have you considered supporting your 5th/6th years?? There's still time to book a talk or workshop 🌸

A glimpse into the most beautiful day at our Blossom Mum & Daughter Retreat yesterday. A journey of connection, wisdom, healing, and simply being together. 💫

This space was created for mums and daughters (aged 8–12) to grow, learn, and discover alongside each other, and it was so magical. 🌸

So many mums have shared that they couldn’t make it this time, so I may be planning another retreat soon. 💕 If you’d love to join or know a mum and daughter who would, please reach out or share this with them.

🌸 Blossom is changing the way we talk about menstrual health🌸

Because menstrual education shouldn’t just be fact-based! It should be compassionate, inclusive, and empowering.

Blossom is:
✔️Medically informed - grounded in science and evidence based facts, designed to help students understand their bodies, recognise what's normal, and know when to ask for help.
✔️Heart-led - created by a qualified nutritional therapist, experienced teacher & endometriosis advocate, Blossom brings lived experience and empathy into every conversation.
✔️Age-appropriate - content tailored for both primary and post-primary students, delivered in ways that meet them where they’re at.
✔️Inclusive - mindful of the needs of ALL students
✔️Emotionally safe - we don’t just teach the biology... we foster body confidence, self-awareness, and emotional resilience. We bridge the gap!
✔️Curriculum-conscious - aligned with SPHE/RSE strands and built to complement what’s already happening or needs to happen in Irish classrooms.

Why we need this in our classrooms:
🌸Health, Wellbeing & Dignity
🌸Reducing Stigma and Normalising Conversations
🌸Ensuring Equity in Access & Fighting Pe3iod Poverty
🌸Improving School Attendance & Academic Performance
🌸Holistic Education, Rights & Inclusion
🌸Curriculum Gaps

Pe3iods aren't just a biological event. They’re a physical, emotional, and social experience and every young person deserves the knowledge and support to navigate that journey.

Let's normalise the conversation.
🩸 Let’s educate, not just inform.
🌸 Let’s Blossom.
