Why the name?

Mona = moon (Old English)  Nara = joy (Greek)
At MONARA, we believe that the cycle that the female body experiences is like moon phases - natural, rhythmic, and beautiful. It's an experience that should be embraced rather than be seen as an embarrassing burden, and that starts with the first period. 

We are transforming an experience shared by half of the world

Meet the founder

Hi! I'm Jessica.  

I first got interested in periods when my aunt panicked about explaining periods to my cousin and asked me for help.

As I was drawing diagrams and talking about my first period, I was hit by flashbacks of embarrassing accidents in middle school and unresolved confusion when I was a teenage girl. It occurred to me that girls should not feel ashamed, scared, and confused about a natural phenomenon of our bodies.  

I founded Monara because I want to support all girls of my cousin's age to understand, appreciate, and prepare for their entrance into womanhood. It should be a beautiful experience.

Monara is growing

Jessica first explored the area of menstruation health and founded MyCycleKit as a 2019-2020 Social Innovation Fellow, aiming to tackle PMS symptom management. 


In summer 2020, the venture was selected to participate in the Breakthrough Lab,  an intensive 8-week venture accelerator program, and Monara was born. 

Interested in joining or contribute?
