Hi, I’m Jessica and I’m living proof that mothers can have grown up totally disconnected from their bodies and raise daughters to be body literate and celebrate the inbuilt rites of passage embedded in the female experience.
After 20 years working in the field of embodiment and women’s wellness, I’ve learned that the most important thing about preparing daughters for womanhood isn’t JUST handing them a book with information or signing them up for a course to do on their own.
It’s about creating a shared space to start important conversations while staying connected through the changes of growing up and mothering. It is about practicing how to be in relationship - with each other and with our own body.
Because being in a female body is a gift with inbuilt rites of passages to celebrate.
Because knowing how your body works and understanding your anatomy empowers you to make choices aligned with your values.
Because taking the time to create a solid foundational relationship will serve you both when challenges arise.
And real talk? Because mothers, it is your responsibility to teach your daughter about her body.
That’s why I’ve created the blossoming, a self-paced mother-daughter course for puberty and beyond.
Because I’m here for mothers having the help they need to guide their daughters to knowing, understanding and loving their body as they grow into the women they are becoming.
And I am here for daughters having the information they need about the changes their body will go through over time and having the support of their mothers as a resource and safe relationship they can always turn to.
Ready? Let’s do this.
"I'm so grateful that Jessica offers this class and that my daughter and I participated in it. It helped us set the foundation for this transformation in such a connected, healthy way. The course opened the door for some powerful conversations and gave us a common reference point that I know will last into the years ahead. Jessica is an incredibly gifted and attuned guide whose genuine reverence for these cycles that give our lives meaning shines through in her teaching. She offers both practical information and applicable suggestions for ways to mark these changes together, as well as new conceptual and spiritual frameworks for understanding puberty and adolescence in a more comprehensive way. The special time my daughter and I spent in these classes, and afterwards talking, felt like a gift of connection and empowerment." - Rachel, Mother of Theresa

"My biggest take away was connecting more with my mom and connecting to my body and ways to be a better person. Thank you Jessica!! Best class ever! " - Sadie, Daughter of Karen
The most common thing I hear women say after they learn about the deeper wisdom that lies within the menstrual cycle is that
THEY WISH THEY WOULD HAVE LEARNED THIS EARLIER
And that is why we must teach our daughters.
Most mothers weren't given much information regarding their body or their cycle when they were young. They were not celebrated as they crossed these rights of passages that are inbuilt into the female systems.
MOTHERS NEED HELP, because they know they want something different for their daughters, but they don't know how to go about it because it is not something they ever learned.
That is why I created The Blossoming. The Blossoming course is designed for mothers and daughters to move through the information together and start important conversations so they build a strong relational platform for them to come back to for the rest of their lives.
This is a place where there will be a common language, where communication can happen and where, through the practices, a felt sense of belonging and connection.
"The biggest take away was having a wise and trusted third party (You, Jessica!) share this information, knowing we were both receiving it at the same time. It really did open up some important conversations for us and give us a common reference point."
-Jennifer, Mother of Genny

"I liked when we talked to our mothers about things and the exercises for us to regularly reconnect." - Sarah, Daughter of Cindy
THIS COURSE IS NOT JUST ABOUT BODY LITERACY.
IT IS ABOUT BEING IN RELATIONSHIP,
WITH OUR BODY AND
WITH EACH OTHER.
And we all know, being in relationships can be hard.
This is why we must practice.
This course is a practice ground for how we are in relationship with our own body and with each other. And like any relationship, the more information you have and the more you understand about what and who you are in a relationship with, the better off you will be.
I'm calling mothers in. Step into your responsibility to teach your daughter about her body. Get out of your own way. Have the courage to be the woman that you're asking your daughter to become. Say yes to the growth edge for BOTH of you.
"My biggest take away was a subtle shift toward more embracing versus resisting the natural growth and development of my baby into a young woman; the joy of knowing other women who hold a sacred space for this transition into womanhood and for having a community to hold that space; uncovering a new layer of my own internalized patriarchal programming"
- Kelly, Mother of Sophia
"My biggest take away was connecting more with my mom and connecting to my body and ways to be a better person. Thank you Jessica!! Best class ever! " - Molly, Daughter of Karlyn
MOTHERS, YOU HAVE WISDOM TO SHARE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER
The conversation starters in the course are a place for mothers to share the wisdom that they hold in their bodies from their experience.
Your wisdom, in combination with the course curriculum of the ancient feminine wisdom ways of being in alignment with nature and in alignment with our bodies, is what makes the course unique for each mother and daughter pair.
This potent combination transforms the course from basic information to personalized medicine that gets seeded deep in the blueprints of your daughter's being.
The wisdom should come from you. Because if it does if it doesn't come from you, then she's going to get information from somewhere else. And most likely, it's going to be information from consumer culture, from media, from places that will disconnect her from her body and her inner power. And let's be real, she is going to be getting those messages anyway, and as mothers, that is what can make our job so hard.
You want an easy way to give your daughter the information you want her to have and have your voice and values be equally as impactful as what she is hearing from the culture.
"The Blossoming opened channels of communication for my daughters and I that I was unsure of how to approach otherwise. It gave us shared language to discuss puberty and all of the life changes and topics that comes with that. Taking the class helped me carve out time to connect with my daughter and learn together." - Leah, Mother of Anna Wren & Linnea
"My biggest take away was learning about my cycle and when is the best time for different events such as parties vs home time." - Elizabeth, Daughter of Ellen

I really loved how she incorporated both mom and daughter in the activities. Thank you Jessica, this has helped my daughter be less shy and be more open about this beautiful part of life becoming a young woman." - Kim, Mother of Amanda
"My biggest take away was that we, like everything else on earth, cycle." - Alyssa, Daughter of Francesca

“My entire generation of women were lost to this wisdom and I am so grateful my granddaughters are being raised in a time where the wisdom of our body is finding a way back into the light. I am blessed to be part of their circle of wise women and witness them grow into the women they are becoming. "
Dolores, Grandmother of Basia & Stella
What Mothers Are Saying:
"I understand more clearly the work I have to do to learn to take care of myself so I can be there for my daughter and I better understand and respect my daughter's need for autonomy."
"Jessica has the sensitivity and knowledge to work with mothers and daughters in a way that is both perceptive and wise just when both mother and daughter are finding themselves in new terrain -- for some a confusing swirl of passion and strong emotion, for others, awkwardness and searching, and still others, curiosity and play. Jessica met each of us where we were at and brought us into a supportive conversation with each other, all the while offering strong, feminist, woman-centered guidance for mind, body & spirit for mom and daughter alike."
"Please take this class! You will connect with your daughter, learn about our life and menstrual cycles and walk away feeling connected."

Mothers, it is time to say YES! Say yes to teaching your daughter about her body and prepare her for the many changes that are to come. Say yes to starting important conversations. Say yes to mothering in a different way than you were mothered. It is time for us to change the world, one mother and daughter at a time.
Let's do this!
FAQ
WHAT IF MY DAUGHTER DOESN'T WANT O TAKE THE COURSE WITH ME? My response to mothers that tell me their daughters are not interested is that YES! That is normal. This curriculum is not a “nice to have”, it is a “need to have”. It is like taking a driving test before you start driving. It is required practice in becoming an adult. When your daughter tells you she is not interested in her math class, do you let her make her own choice and not go to school? No. You tell her all the reasons why it is important to go to school and hold her responsible in showing up for her role as a student. Right now you are calling her in to be a student of her body. Because let's be real, she might not actually use all the math she is learning at school, but she WILL be in relationship to her body for the rest of her life. Knowing and understanding her body is arguably more important than anything she is learning in school. This is practice for you as a mother to align with your values of why this course is non-negotiable. By mothering her in this way you are teaching her how to be a woman and eventual mother. You are the guide. You are taking your role seriously and you have a responsibility to her to guide the way. She will thank you one day.
CAN I DO THIS WITH MORE THAN ONE DAUGHTER AT A TIME? Yes! You can definitely do the course with multiple daughters at a time.
CAN AN AUNT OR GRANDMOTHER DO THIS WITH A DAUGHTER? Yes! If the mother is unavailable to do the course an auntie or grandmother or other female care giver can do this course with the preteen. Some of the language might not fit your exact situation but the course will be just as special. The more women the preteen has supporting her the better off she will be!
