Women’s health deserves to be talked about: from understanding our menstrual cycles and caring for our wellbeing, to breaking the stigma around period poverty and feeling informed about pregnancy and birth. This week is all about creating spaces to learn, ask questions, connect with others and take charge of our health.
✨ And there’s more! We will be giving out free reusable period underwears, plus cater iced coffee, matcha and chai lattes during our Menstruation 101 Workshop and Pregnancy & Birth Workshop! ☕️✨☕️💕
