ParentTalk: Bud to Bloom
As a parent of three boys and one girl in a blended family, I am deeply passionate about creating a movement and community that empowers parents to have open, meaningful conversations with their children about sexual health and puberty.
​​
As parents, we all want our children to feel safe, understood and supported as they navigate the complexities of growing up. Puberty and sexual health are among the most transformative experiences a child will face. While schools may offer a basic foundation, they often miss the deeper, more personal aspects our children really need - a compassionate, judgement free space to ask questions, share experiences and feel comfortable in their changing bodies.
At home you have a unique opportunity to be your childs most trusted guide. By creating a safe environment to discuss topics like puberty, consent, boundaries and emotional well being, you're helping your child navigate these transformative years with confidence and understanding. When we equip our children with the knowledge and tools they need, we empower them to feel less alone and more prepared during this pivotal phase of their lives.
​
For far too long, topics like puberty and sexual health have been shrouded in shame and treated as taboo, despite being a fundamental part of the human experience.
My mission is to build a supportive platform that provides parents with the tools, confidence and compassion needed to navigate these conversations in a way that feels authentic, safe, open and non judgemental.
Children are naturally curious, and it's vital that we offer them honest, thoughtful guidance on these topics. Many of us grew up with little to no information about sex, menstruation or puberty, often leaving us feeling confused and unsupported. This is societies opportunity to make a change and normalise these conversations.
​
Together, we can break that cycle. Let's make a change to create a society where these conversations are normalised, where our children feel empowered to ask questions or speak up, where they know they can turn to us for guidance and support..
How we can work together.
I am here to support and empower parents in navigating safe conversations about sexual health and puberty with their children. These discussions set the foundation for fostering confidence, connection and understanding within your family.
​
I believe in creating a collaborative community where we, as parents, can learn and grow together - there's no hierarchy, just shared wisdom and guidance. You know your children best.
​
Here are some key topics we can explore:
​
-
Menstruation - phases and cycles.

​
Our children are like sponges, absorbing everything the see and hear. By having these conversations, we not only guide and support them but also deepen our own understanding of these important topics. This creates a powerful ripple effect of knowledge, compassion and confidence, enabling us to embody the very values we aim to teach.
