Meet Diana
Menstrual Educator
I’m Diana Palacios, founder of Happy Periods and a menstrual educator originally from Colombia.
My work is rooted in the belief that menstrual education can transform how we relate to our bodies, our health and our experiences.
Through this project, I create spaces where girls, teenagers, women and menstruating people can explore their cycles with knowledge, confidence and dignity.
Happy Periods was born from a personal journey of questioning, learning and reconnecting with the body.
It is also a response to the silence, misinformation and taboos that still shape how we experience menstruation.
With a background in environmental engineering, education and communication, Diana brings an interdisciplinary and socially conscious approach to menstrual education.
Her work integrates scientific knowledge with lived experiences, creating a more holistic and accessible understanding of the menstrual cycle.

What we do
We create spaces where menstruation can be explored through conversation, shared experiences and personal reflection in an open and supportive environment.
Our workshops invite participants to connect with their cycle in a way that feels accessible, practical and grounded in real-life experiences.
Happy Periods also supports more sustainable menstrual practices by offering reusable cloth pads (Ecopads), handmade with locally sourced, cotton-based materials and free from harmful chemicals.
Our Values
Self-knowledge
Inhabiting your body to live your menstrual experience, observing, recognizing and interpreting your own cyclicity.
Self-care
It is listening to your own body, as a territory that reveals a cyclical, unique, valuable and powerful menstrual experience.
Responsability
Healthy menstrual experiences for the body and safe for the planet with reusable menstrual products.
Self-love
Menstrual pride as a driving force to love yourself and value your menstruation from dignity, autonomy and health.
Sustainability
We rely on the precautionary principle to guarantee the health of women and menstruators and take care of the planet.
Critical stance
Questioning what it means to cycle in a society that strives to hide menstrual blood.
