Crafts and Resources
Educate and entertain in PSHE lessons and girls and women circles.
As I started to run puberty workshops, I looked around for fun resources to break down the embarrassment about talking about anatomy. Some resources were very expensive and others just didn’t exist in the form I was looking for. Scroll down and see the different resources and books I’ve created.

What People Are Saying
“The Medicine Circle that Tessa held for me was an amazing opportunity to connect with my cycle on a much deeper level than I have ever been able to do on my own.
It allowed me to have a totally different awareness of myself, my past and feelings throughout my inner seasons, some of which was totally new for me.
It has made a huge difference on how to deal with my inner seasons and to support myself throughout my cycle. Tessa's loving presence, support and gentle guidance was essential to give me confidence to explore my inner cycles. I would recommend it to anyone who wants clarity.”
- Andreia Hamer
“My Medicine Circle with Tessa was a potent, highly charged and extremely illuminating experience. Tessa holds space for healing with grace, tenderness and respect.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who would like deeper insight and clarity into their cycle and how it effects their day to day lives.”
- Jodie Grace
"I found the course really thought-provoking, inspiring and practical - I felt I could try all of the elements that Tessa suggested and that they would be beneficial for me. I have changed the way I think about my body and what it needs. I provide it with much more rest and relaxation than I have in the past. I no longer ignore my cycle and the signs my body communicates; I now try to work with my body and listen to what it needs. Tessa is a highly skilled and wise facilitator and I thoroughly enjoyed every day of the course. Doing something different each day meant I could learn new things in bite-size chunks and apply them gradually."
