"It’s evident that DeAnna’s intelligent and grounded work comes from years of self-exploration, a deep ritual life, and her lived experience of working with women and their daughters. She tells us the truth: that mothers must first do their own precious work, experience their own initiation ceremonies, reclaim their own blood mysteries, and recognize their own sacred feminine, so they can then welcome their daughters into authentic womanhood. DeAnna can midwife us through this process."

"DeAnna’s commitment to honoring the transition from girl to womanhood is bold in its vision, and effective in practice.
I appreciate how skilled DeAnna is at creating a caring, mutually respectful environment for self-discovery and healing.
She serves as a leader and guide with a deep respect for the power of group process."

"I highly recommend DeAnna's work! Under her leadership ritual seemed like a natural thing to do. She crafted experiences for the girls that were fun and engaging. My experiences with her were deeply meaningful and enjoyable."

"Thanks to DeAnna I feel that I have many tools necessary to help my daughters transition into womanhood with grace and strength.
DeAnna's workshop enabled me to glimpse backward into my coming of age: to understand and appreciate more fully what it is to be a woman, biologically and spiritually. Our work illuminated how crucial it is for girls of any era to celebrate their passage into womanhood, and learn how to embrace their monthly cycles as full of power and life."

Annie Bjork, Marketer and Writer, Greenbrae, CA
"DeAnna is great! I have known most of the mothers in my daughter’s class for many years, but in DeAnna’s workshop my connection to them became much stronger because of the depth of sharing that happened between us. I believe it is because of DeAnna’s powerful holding of the group that allows for this level of trust. She is wonderful at creating safe and sacred spaces so that women can share honestly.

When DeAnna worked with both mothers and daughters of our 6th grade class, it was lots of fun. Although the girls were hesitant at first, by the end -- none of them wanted to leave! Everyone enjoyed all of the activities, but the favorite was the crafting project. Mothers and daughters alike took great care in their creations, and their sharing was touching. The girls took this project very seriously.

DeAnna has a subtle but powerful presence; she gently guides the group and brings awareness to its members with graceful skill and ease. She has the capacity to work with the very different energies of moms and daughters, and create harmonious connection between the two. This is a great gift!

I highly recommend working with DeAnna."

"When I first read DeAnna’s book, “Becoming Peers”, I was touched and moved. I felt like I found a path to healing. The next step was to participate in DeAnna’s training for mentors. I had no idea if I’ll ever be a mentor to a girl, but I sensed my own little girl needed my attention. The monthly meetings, held in a Red Tent, spiraled deeper and deeper.

I literally felt that I was shedding away layers of shame, and healing generations of Jewish women who were taught to hide themselves and their bodies. Through the course of the training I became more conscious of my body signals, more at ease with myself. I grew from healing my inner maiden into a mentor."

“This is the most important work a woman can provide for herself and for others. My relationship with my body and my cycle has completely transformed thanks to DeAnna and the Red Moon Training.

With extensive knowledge and wisdom, DeAnna has created a training that increased my awareness and facilitated my healing process. I have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the challenges, the gifts, the beauty, and the power of our womanhood.”
