You'll gain an accurate and age-appropriate understanding of anatomy, puberty, and the menstrual cycle — not just for information’s sake, but to support meaningful, embodied learning for girls and their caregivers.

-
Includes complete resources and materials. From your printed Facilitator Guide and altar visuals to sample handouts, infographics, email templates, and access to two foundational digital courses — you'll receive the tools you need to deliver your own program with ease and confidence.
-
A learning experience that honours both personal and professional growth. As you learn to support others, you’ll also deepen your own understanding of your menstrual story, your facilitation style, and the legacy you want to leave.

Meet Nikki Zavitz
Founder of Pretty River Red Tent | Menstrual Cycle Educator
Certified FAMM Practitioner | Teacher & Menstruality Mentor
Hi, I’m Nikki — a certified Fertility Awareness Educator, Red School Menstruality Mentor, and former classroom teacher with a Bachelor of Education. I’m also a mother of three daughters, a lifelong learner, and the founder of Pretty River Red Tent.
My work is rooted in the belief that menstrual education should begin long before traditional sex-ed, and that mothers and daughters deserve spaces that are reverent, relational, and real. After years of working with girls and women across the menstrual spectrum — from pre-puberty through menopause — I’ve witnessed the deep transformation that occurs when we are met with knowledge, compassion, and connection.
The Mother–Daughter Red Tent Facilitator Training is the culmination of over a decade of personal practice, professional education, and hands-on experience leading intimate, in-person programs. I’ve poured everything I know into this training — so that you can feel confident, prepared, and deeply aligned as you step into this work.
This is more than professional development. It’s an invitation to change the narrative.
Ready to Step In?
Something about this work speaks to you.
Maybe it’s the longing to offer girls what you never had.
Maybe it’s the call to uplift menstrual education in a way that is grounded, accurate, and connected.
Maybe it’s the deep knowing that this is part of the change our world so urgently needs.
If you're ready to support mothers, guide daughters, and reclaim menstrual education rooted in relationship, this facilitator training is your next step.
You’ll be guided, supported, and resourced every step of the way. And you’ll leave with everything you need to confidently hold your own Mother–Daughter Red Tents in your community.

What’s the time commitment each week?
Expect to spend 2–3 hours per week between watching pre-recorded lessons, attending the Sunday Zoom (90 minutes), and completing optional assignments. Everything is designed to be digestible and doable for a full life.
Will I be certified?
Yes — you’ll receive a certificate of completion and have permission to facilitate your own version of the Mother–Daughter Red Tent using the materials, lessons, and rituals from the training.
What if I miss a live session?
All Zoom sessions will be recorded and uploaded within 24 hours. You’ll have ongoing access to revisit the material anytime.
Is this training suitable if I don’t have daughters?
Absolutely. Many participants are aunties, teachers, doulas, youth mentors, or passionate cycle-aware women who want to bring this work to their communities.
Is there support between sessions?
Yes — we’ll have a private WhatsApp group for reflections, questions, and community connection throughout the training. Plus, I’ll be available to you personally as your guide.
What happens after I apply?
Once you submit your application form, I personally read each one with care.

Submissions more than 2 months after the Training ends will require an appointment with Nikki + additional fees.
What are the terms and licensing conditions?

• The name Mother–Daughter Red Tent must be used when promoting and facilitating your events
• The materials are for your use only — they may not be distributed, shared, or repurposed for other programs
• You’re encouraged to personalize your facilitation using your unique gifts while honouring the core elements of the training
• You’ll receive a Facilitator Certificate, be added to our Directory, and gain lifetime access to this training content
A full version of the agreement will be shared with you before completing your enrollment.
Do you use inclusive language in the training and materials?
From the beginning of my studies, my work has been rooted in supporting women and girls, with a focus on celebrating the female body and the female experience, particularly around puberty, menstruation, and the menstrual cycle. Throughout my offerings, I use feminine language and female pronouns, and this lens is embedded in the tone and content of the program.
That said, I hold a deep respect for the diverse experiences people carry, and I want to affirm that my intention is never to exclude. I simply wish to be clear about the scope of my expertise and the specific audience I serve through this work. I do not claim to be an expert in gender diversity or non-binary identities, and I feel it would be outside of my integrity to present myself as such.
Within the ©Mother–Daughter Red Tent Facilitator Training, the language used, both in the materials and teachings, centres on the mother–daughter relationship, and I use terms like “woman,” “girl,” “mother,” and “daughter” with intention. These words carry deep meaning in the context of menstruality and lineage, and are foundational to the spirit of this work.
That said, facilitators are welcome to expand the vocabulary during their own workshops based on who is in the space, adjusting for adoptive or surrogate mothers, aunties, grandmothers, or participants who may not personally use gendered language. There is space for nuance, and facilitators are trusted to bring their discernment while maintaining the integrity of the training.
The Disclosure Statement and Licensing Agreement outlines these terms more formally. If after reviewing it you have any further questions or thoughts, I’m always happy to continue the conversation.
