TEACHER TESTIMONIALS

"The level of engagement was so high!"

"It was so good to see the girls engaged the entire time and they felt informed and empowered to make better health choices - so thank you."

Rosemary Fisher
 Teacher

This was a great seminar enjoyed by many of our students. They really felt empowered after the discussion. It was highly engaging and the information was presented to students in a safe and inclusive environment.

Nicole Parry
 Teacher

"From the start of the presentation, Demi had the girls laughing and excitedly talking about content that covered the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle. Demi tailored the content to the needs of the cohort and used age appropriate language and anecdotes to explain key ideas in a clear and concise manner. She offered a wealth of advice and made recommendations that addressed the needs of a diverse student group."

Effie Mellas
 Teacher

"I really enjoyed the way you started the whole thing – it didn’t come across as a seminar and just another talk. You caught their attention and were relevant to them. I think the way you broke it up with little hacks and discussion was good – this makes them accountable on the spot. Sometimes these things go in, but not much happens after that. The fact that you made them talk about it right there was great. You created a safe place for them to feel comfortable to share. It was SOOOOOOOOOOO good. I spoke to a group of girls at recess to get their feedback and their responses were: “It was really good” “We could relate to her. She’s just like us” “She was inspiring!”

Sally Rawson
 Teacher

"Bright Girl Health offers a great way for girls to be educated and engage in conversation around some very important topics. This is a most worthwhile program that will be significant in the lives of the girls who interact with it"

Brom Morphett
 Teacher

“It was an amazing experience for the girls involved. we had girls from year 8, 9 and 10 who were a challenging group, who were all absolutely enthralled and engaged for the entire 2 hour period. I’d thoroughly recommend it to anybody.”

Matthew Mortimer
 Teacher

You captured the students straight away with being in touch with what their interests are.

 Teacher

"Demi is very informative. She doesn't blush at questions and is very professional in her approach to all things female. She is also very well respected by our students. As a result when she speaks with well researched authority they know it is also in love and they listen"

Tina McMullen
 Teacher

"From booking through to presenting everything was professional, timely and suited to the needs of the student demograph. I truly appreciate how adaptable you were in creating more resources to provide the students with knowledge that we are unable to cover. Definitely a must for any female student trying to gain control of their menstrual cycle"

 Teacher

"The girls really enjoyed it. I thought the talk was really well prepared and presented. Demi herself was really professional and presented the material in a really personable manner. She certainly had the girls laughing within the first few minutes and that made it a really enjoyable presentation"

Alison Chow
 Teacher

"Bright Girl Health is an extensively researched program perfect for high school students, as it is uniquely designed to provide insight on topics many girls don’t know enough about. I love that young girls can learn more about the function of their bodies, and be equipped with the tools to bring about positive change"

Sharlene Fracarossi
 Teacher

"Demi is a highly engaging, honest and encouraging speaker who inspired our Year 7s to learn and talk about topics that they would have otherwise been embarrassed to explore in other contexts."

Effie Mellas
 Teacher

"Students learn about the menstrual cycle either from their mother or school (which can be quite syllabussy/textbooky). Presenting this to them from someone that they do not know instantly makes students feel more comfortable and wanting to share their experiences/knowledge."

 Teacher

"The girls were very interested about the way their cycle could be considered along with nutrition and exercise as a holistic heath plan. I think it presents valuable insights and information all young women would benefit from."

Sue Brendish
 Teacher

"Understanding their body and seeing that they did not need to suffer in silence; that they could broach this subject in a safe environment and would not be laughed at."

Roshini Thomas
 Teacher

"Demi was very enthusiastic, honest and engaging with the students. The girls said they felt safe to talk to you and like the environment was safe to share with the other people. They enjoyed your sense of humour."

Beth Fuller
 Teacher

“Thanks to the outstanding presentation by Demi the Girls walked out learning heaps and really enjoyed themselves and asked more questions than we even had time for. I’d thoroughly recommend it to anybody.”

Matthew Mortimer
 Teacher

"Demi is a dynamic and engaging educator with a passion for women’s health and education. Bright Girl Health will empower young women during puberty and beyond"

Melanie Graham
 Teacher

HEALTH EXPERTS WHO SUPPORT BRIGHT GIRL HEALTH

Dr. Tash has approved Bright Girl Health school presentation content.

Dr Tash – Gynaecologist, Endocrinologist, Fertility Specialist

“There is a plethora of health information online and in practice. I see many young women affected by misinformation. Bright Girl Health seminars debunk health myths and provide accurate, educational health information in a sensitive and non threatening way. This education is a gift for young women, setting them up for a happier and healthier future!”

Jodie Bees- Naturopath & Clinical Nutritionist

“Bright Girl Health Seminars are switching the way young women approach their hormone health for the better – showing them we don’t need to fear our health but embrace it, simply by understanding it better. It’s a total game changer!”

Nat Kringoudis – Doctor of Chinese medicine, fertility expert, author

“The impact of Bright Girl Health is boundless. We see real change in students who are empowered because they understand their bodies and learn from the positive truthful tone that Bright Girl Health always strikes”

Saalt co – Saalt co menstrual cups

“As a naturopath and women’s health expert it saddens me how little women know about their bodies. Bright Girl Health is changing all that by empowering the next generation of women with the knowledge I’m sure we all wished we knew as teenagers!”

Jacqui Lamplugh – Naturopath and women’s health expert

“As a Naturopath and Acupuncturist, everyday I witness the confusion women have about their periods, ovulation, hormonal health and fertility generally. I remember my Yr 10 sex education was listing all the rude names for sexual body parts. I wish we had access to this brilliant information from Bright Girl Health back then. It is such important information missing from mainstream education”

Miranda Myles – Naturopath, Acupuncturist, “The Contemporary Conceptionist”

“As a mother and Midwife, I feel really passionate about young women learning how amazing their bodies are! I wish I had this information when I was in school”

Sally Rawson – Teacher

“The Bright Girl Health Seminar, specifically the ‘Know Your Flow’ presentation, was such a valuable experience for girls at our school. Demi is a highly engaging, honest and encouraging speaker who inspired our Year 7s to learn and talk about topics that they would have otherwise been embarrassed to explore in other contexts. From the start of the presentation, she had the girls laughing and excitedly talking about content that covered the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle. Demi tailored the content to the needs of the cohort and used age appropriate language and anecdotes to explain key ideas in a clear and concise manner. She offered a wealth of advice and made recommendations that addressed the needs of a diverse student group. I highly recommend Bright Girl Health and look forward to having Demi present at our school again.

“The girls really enjoyed it. I thought the talk was really well prepared and presented. Demi herself was really professional and presented the material in a really personable manner. She certainly had the girls laughing within the first few minutes and that made it a really enjoyable presentation”

I really think the girls would have enjoyed the fact that Demi spoke to them at their level and talked about things that they probably don’t get to talk about all the time. They would certainly learn some really helpful things about self talk and the way they think about themselves and their bodies, their own attributes and why they need to love themselves a bit more.”

Alison Chow – Teacher

“Bright Girl Health seminars are a must for your teen girls. With her heart centred approach and experience as a high school teacher, Demi will guide your teen to knowing all things menstrual and reproductive health and help her make empowered decisions. You have got to get your hands on this!”

Diana Baybrooke – Teacher

“As a teacher and Pastoral Care teacher for Year 9 girls, I know that the more trustworthy information my girls have about healthy living and their own bodies, the better equipped they are to deal with growing into secure and confident young women”

Janine Philip – Teacher

“As a PDHPE teacher and health and nutrition coach I can’t be more excited to see Bright Girl Healthshining light on such a crucial issue for young girls. Well done on a fantastic program!”

"This is a most worthwhile program that will be significant in the lives of the girls who interact with it"

“Bright Girl Health is an extensively researched program perfect for high school students, as it is uniquely designed to provide insight on topics many girls don’t know enough about. I love that young girls can learn more about the function of their bodies, and be equipped with the tools to bring about positive change, so they can fully thrive in their own lives”

Sharlene Fracarossi – Teacher

“This was a great seminar enjoyed by many of our students. They really felt empowered after the discussion. 

I think that all of the presentation was valuable as it allowed a platform for the students to talk about a topic that can somewhat be confronting. 

It was highly engaging and the information was presented to students in a safe and inclusive environment.”

Nicole Parry – Teacher

“Demi was very enthusiastic, honest and engaging with the students. They were obviously engaged and even connected with each other when they did the group work. I particularly liked that what the girls left with were all positives. They didn’t leave sad about bullying or what others were doing, but left with positive ideas about themselves and a plan of action.
I asked the girls what they thought this morning and they were quite enthusiastic. Specifically they said they appreciated the personal stories and how you put them into context and made them relatable. They felt safe to talk to you and like the environment was safe to share with the other people. They enjoyed your sense of humour and appreciated the ability to share with the person next to them positive things rather than focusing on their negative experiences.  It was really fun”

Beth Fuller – Teacher

“Bright Girl Health seminars are a must for your teen girls. With her heart centered approach and experience as a high school teacher, Demi will guide your teen to knowing all things menstrual and reproductive health and help her make empowered decisions. You have got to get your hands on this.  

I wish these programmes were in my school when I was a teen so I didn’t have to get the awkward convo with my mum about periods that just didn’t make sense.”

Diana Baybrooke -Teacher

“The Bright Girl Health program is an ideal way to provide quality information regarding a sensitive issue for young maturing girls. A very much needed program that would suit high school girls and assist school well-being staff in their whole school programs which aim to develop girls understanding of their physical and emotional development. Presented in an interesting fun way it will assist girls to engage confidently in discussions and pave the way for further understanding. A much needed professional program.”

Catherine Duncan – Retired Deputy Principal

– Student responses

“In a time where most families are time-poor and opportunities for conversation between parents and their teenagers are limited, Bright Girl Health offers a great way for girls to be educated and engage in conversation around some very important topics. This is a most worthwhile program that will be significant in the lives of the girls who interact with it”

Brom Morphett – Teacher

“The Bright Girl Health seminars take the often taboo topic of periods and provide a deeper, holistic understanding of menstrual health. By opening up positive conversations and by offering critical information to students these seminars empower and inspire”

Jacqueline – Teacher

“As a teacher and youth leader I understand the importance of giving our girls the knowledge and confidence to know how to deal with everything that comes with having your period. Bright Girl Health equips young people with a voice and allows them to be confident with who they are. Bright Girl Health takes away the anxiety and fear of having a period and replaces it with knowledge and value. I highly recommend this seminar for any school!”
