Maidens by His Design $150

Maidens by His Design is a curriculum for young ladies that teaches how God has fearfully and wonderfully created their bodies. It is a godly approach to teaching daughters age 8-14 how their bodies are created to function.

We know that most moms or mentors need support and guidance on how to begin this conversation with their daughters, and we’re sure you will learn something too. There is a lot of negativity (and often embarrassment) surrounding these topics, but that is not honoring to God. The course instructs girls on how God has fearfully and wonderfully made each one of us, beyond basic biological “facts”. This knowledge is essential to understanding the other phases of womanhood later in life.

Topics include basic anatomy, hormones, cycle phases, history & culture, tools & gear, mental health, nutrition, herbs, and holistic health for women.

Testimonials

“My boyfriend and I took birthing classes with Marissa about a month before our baby girl arrived. It was perfect timing as all of the information we learned was fresh in our minds. Marissa taught us everything we needed to know and what to expect when arriving at the hospital. She went over everything you’ll need to know for labor and delivery.

Marissa is super friendly and an amazing teacher. She answered any questions we had in detail to make sure we understood.

I felt confident going into the hospital because of Marissa!! I knew what my options were and that made a world of a difference. I would recommend her classes to any of my expecting friends!” -Nicole A.
