Join the waitlistARE YOU...
★ Passionate about teaching girls how powerful their body and periods are?
★ Disappointed with the limited sterile school education currently provided which touches on basic biology and reproductive risks - and is completely devoid of empowerment, celebration, cycle awareness and self-care wisdom?
★ A believer in the power of sacred rites of passage, and wish menarche was widely celebrated instead of shushed and shamed into secrecy?
If you shouted HELL YES to any of this, and feel called to step into period-positive work that empowers young people and their family, and strives for gender equality, this training is for you!
What are First Moon Circles?
I created my menarche celebration events called First Moon Circles for girls aged 9-12 which aim to give participants a holistic (emotional, physical, biological and spiritual) appreciation of the powerful changes they will experience at the onset of puberty and menarche (their first period).
Events are intimate, and are either offered as a public event for anyone wishing to attend, or more commonly as private events, for a group of friends.
First Moon Circles aim to go way way beyond what school fails to teach kids, and it reframes periods as the time females meet their power, and as an initiation.
Mothers and guardians are invited to join the participants for a celebratory tea to affirm the positive celebration, to open lines of communication amongst families and to lift the veil on shame and secrecy that can go hand in hand with periods.
Furthermore, mothers are supported by acquiring knowledge they often didn't know themselves, plus language and strategies to openly discuss these topics with their children.

About First Moon CirclesWhat is First Moon Circle Facilitator Training?
I created this facilitator training after receiving multiple requests for me to share my process, knowledge and experience with others so they too can begin holding their own First Moon Circles.
Many of us would love to do teach girls about the wonder of their periods, to trust their body's wisdom and intuition, and to feel confident as they begin menstruating - but just aren't sure where to start.
Perhaps you're unsure of how to make it happen, unclear of what's practically involved, perhaps you have knowledge gaps, or maybe you haven't held events for young people before.
That's where this training comes in: it's knowledge, personal development, peer support, accountability and full of practical tools and templates.
You receive not just the empowering knowledge to teach to girls - but you also receive my practical resources to help you make this a reality. Throw in the support of your fellow facilitators - a sisterhood of peers - who are here to hold space for you as you hold space for others.
I am hugely passionate about the impact First Moon Circles are having on both young people and their parents - and so gladly have created this training course. I would love to see First Moon Circles offered in many communities to empower the next generation.
It's really important that those who are committed to female empowerment, to ending period and body shame, and to holding powerful events with integrity join this training. This is why I invite you to join the training.

What people say...

"I was expecting to learn about how to hold space for girls going through menarche and knowledge about how to educate them and mothers on cycle intelligence. The training exceeded all my expectations.
I appreciated the support in the lead up to my first circle. I love the knowledge about cycle intelligence and making it a more positive experience for girls. I learnt a lot about my hormones and got the opportunity to deepen my relationship with my daughter and offer the same to mums/carers and girls. The extras we received was amazing. Just your energy and presence was the best Charlotte. Thank you so much!"
"Charlotte, I love and adore your energy, your wisdom and your passion for this topic. I loved the group of women you brought together. I loved seeing everyone's evolution through the time together.
I loved seeing how we all took the information in such different ways. I loved experiencing for myself and witnessing in others how transformative this information has been in coming home to myself."


"I loved coming together with other women. It was such a lovely way to move through a course together. I loved the content, the videos, the reflection sheets, the weekly calls. All of it!
Everything was delivered SO clearly - Charlotte is a very nurturing, supportive and helpful teacher. Everything was professionally laid out and by far exceeded my expectations!"
Meet your Lead Trainer & course creator
Hi, I'm Charlotte Pointeaux...
Certified Cycle and Life Coach, trained Youth Mentor and Sacred Circle Facilitator. I'm the creator of First Moon Circles, and the lead trainer in the First Moon Circle Facilitator Training.
I'm a coach to women and girls journeying through the sacred rites of passage from first period, motherhood and into peri/menopause who are seeking to deeply understand and connect to their inner wisdom, and to live in flow and devotion to their cyclical nature - instead of fighting against it.
I'm deeply passionate about supporting my clients to find shining confidence, potent self-trust, and a strong connection to their intuition, inner superpowers and sovereignty through:
☽ Menstrual and Moon Cycle Awareness,
☽ Sacred Cycle Self-care, and
☽ Embodiment practices.
As a youth mentor I really adore and feel passionate about empowering young people to feel confident, prepared, self-assured and at home in their bodies - all things I didn't feel growing up.
I bring my career in education, trainings, qualifications, and experience to my own First Moon Circles, Coaching, and this award-nominated Facilitator Training.

"What a great leader and facilitator Charlotte, it’s been a beautiful ride with you all.
It is such vital work to share this knowledge and wisdom so our culture can change on a grass root level to show women and girls that they should not feel shame about their bodies, but an inclusive approach as well as a lead into supporting them through to motherhood ans birthing. I wish I had this when I was younger" -

And I loved the content, worksheets/feedback form, practical aspect - such clear direction and helpful tools. A massive shout out to Charlotte for this awesomely wonderful course, for all her support, the effort she has put into each and everyone of us, and her extreme genorosity." -
Sharon Woolley, Fertile: Body and Mind
