“Menarche or starting your period is a significant physical and spiritual transformation for young girls no matter where they live in the world,” explains Dr. Saunders. “It is also a very powerful gift—now that gift can once again be celebrated as a special event.” “It is our hope that this book will be enjoyed by all.” “A lot of love went into the creation of this book and our wish is that everyone who touches it and reads it becomes absorbed in that love.”

The authors conduct exclusive workshops. The workshops examine common myths associated with the period, and are responsible for educating, sharing, creating and restoring inner beauty and wellness to young girls throughout the world.
