In-Home Expert Guided Puberty Education

A Girlhood Charlotte puberty party is a one-of-a kind experience where we bring puberty education modeled as a "party" to your living room.  Your puberty party is hosted in the comfort of yours or a friend's home to create an intimate space where mothers and daughters can learn, connect, and confidently navigate the conversations about puberty together. During your party, girls participate together alongside their moms and friends in various hands-on activities to provide an interactive experience.  We also expect a lot of giggles and questions along the way.  Most of all, we hope your group will learn a lot and have FUN!

Classes typically run 3 hours from set up to wrap up with a 10-15 minute break midway. Girls are congratulated with a curated period kit that include period products, skin care products and a few extra handpicked goodies to celebrate their dedicated time in our class!

Prior to your party, we will work with you to help plan your party with ideas for themes and/or decorations.  We also provide puberty related decorations. 

As medical professionals, we value and deliver age-appropriate fact-based and science-driven information.  Important topics include the fundamentals of the female reproductive anatomy, the role of the brain & related glands, puberty hormones, and the physical and emotional changes that naturally happen during puberty.  We also provide hands-on demonstrations with period products available for young girls to teach appropriate application & disposal. Our conversations also go beyond the science.  We share meaningful guidance and practical tips on body confidence, managing emotions, nutrition and skin hygiene.  

Topics we do NOT cover in our Girlhood Classes:  sexual intercourse, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexually transmitted infections nor birth control.    

To host a party is simple!  

The hostess's responsibilities include:

• Find a date and time for your group. Secure the date with a security deposit.  We accept Venmo, PayPal and Zelle.  Payment instructions are detailed below.
• Depending on your party size, find a comfortable space that fits your group. 
• We screen share our slides.  Wi-Fi access and a TV or projector with screen sharing capability are required. 
• Throw a unique gathering that is entirely your own!  Put together some refreshments, set a fun vibe, and don't worry, the conversations will flow.
• Entertain the idea of having a theme if you feel up for it.  We can brainstorm ideas with you. 

Still nervous?  Don't worry, we are available to help along every step of the way.  We will work with you to create a party that fits the unique interests and needs of your group.

Classes include up to 10 girls and 10 moms for $1000 per class.  Additional attendees are allowed at an additional cost of $150/couplet with advanced notice.  
A Girlhood Charlotte Puberty Party includes:

• In-home puberty education led by Dr. Nguyen and Mary Queen, RN with science and evidence-based interactive learning 
• Enjoy approximately 2.5-3h of hands-on time with medical experts 
• Supply of pads and tampons for interactive demonstrations
• Puberty-related decorations

We believe the best time to learn about puberty is nearing or in the early stages of when it happens.  The sweet spot is 10-12 years old when girls are entering 4th to 6th grade.  However, our class material can appropriately be taught to girls between the ages of 8-13.    

We serve the immediate Charlotte area within a 15-mile radius.  However, we will travel to those outside of the Charlotte area for an additional fee as follows: 

>15-20 miles is an additional $50/class
