Ms. Moxie\u2019s Moon Shop at 102 N. Fayette Street carries period products, pelvic health resources, books, gifts, and items for pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and more. But <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/vienna-trace-zero-waste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the shop is<\/a> about more than retail: it also hosts workshops and creates a space where customers can ask questions and talk openly about topics that are often treated as taboo. Owner Emily Coccia took over Ms. Moxie\u2019s in January 2024 after first discovering the store as a customer. She recently spoke with <em>The Fairfax Girl<\/em> about the shop, its mission, and why conversations around menstrual health are such an important part of the business. <strong>Read on for more about Ms. Moxie&#8217;s Moon Shop in Alexandria.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-233577\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/ms-moxies-moon-shop.png\" alt=\"ms moxies moon shop\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/ms-moxies-moon-shop.png 1000w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/ms-moxies-moon-shop-800x533.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/ms-moxies-moon-shop-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/ms-moxies-moon-shop-585x390.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/ms-moxies-moon-shop-263x175.png 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>About Ms. Moxie\u2019s Moon Shop<\/h3>\n<p>Longtime Alexandria resident Emily Coccia first walked into Ms. Moxie\u2019s in July 2023 while transitioning away from a career in international development. She immediately connected with the concept. \u201cThe next day I had a meeting with the owner. I told her that if I were to own a store, this would be it,\u201d Emily said.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-233574\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/emily_ms-moxie.png\" alt=\"emily_ms moxie\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/emily_ms-moxie.png 1080w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/emily_ms-moxie-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/emily_ms-moxie-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/emily_ms-moxie-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/emily_ms-moxie-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/emily_ms-moxie-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Over the next several months, Emily worked alongside the previous owner to learn the business before officially taking over in January 2024. <a href=\"https:\/\/msmoxiesmoonshop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ms. Moxie\u2019s<\/a> is part boutique and part educational resource, with products and programming designed to support people through different stages of menstrual and pelvic health.<\/p>\n<p>There is no singular \u201cMs. Moxie.\u201d Instead, Emily works with a group of advisors who help vet products and contribute to workshops. \u201cWe also run workshops and have access to a lot of resources, like current practitioners and people who can better support menstrual health in general, because of their specialties,\u201d Emily said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/breakfast-vienna-virginia-nova\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Where to Have a Sitcom-Style Breakfast in Vienna VA<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Workshop topics range from pelvic floor physical therapy to biodegradable period products, while the shop itself carries a mix of practical and playful items. During our visit, we spotted organic cotton period products, books geared toward different stages of life, heating pads, soaps, deodorants, journals, and cheeky cards. There is also a section geared toward first periods, along with products for pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause.<\/p>\n<h3>Breaking Down the Stigma Around Periods<\/h3>\n<p>Education is a major part of the shop\u2019s mission, and Emily said some of her favorite moments happen when a casual visit turns into a larger conversation about menstrual or pelvic health. \u201cI think that when non-menstruators come in the shop, it&#8217;s our opportunity to help educate them on what people in their life are probably going through,\u201d she said. Customers often begin by browsing products before opening up about their own experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c95% of the time it turns into a conversation, not just about the shop, but people really start to open up when they&#8217;re given the opportunity to talk about things like their perimenopause symptoms or issues they&#8217;ve had in the past, or even we hear a lot of first period stories from adults,\u201d Emily said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbG57ChoIJz\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbG57ChoIJz\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Ms. Moxie\u2019s Moon Shop | Menstrual Health Boutique (@msmoxiesmoonshop)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\nThe shop is intentional about making those conversations accessible to everyone, including men. \u201cOh, I love when men come in,\u201d Emily said. \u201cThe only way we&#8217;re ever going to break the taboo around these topics is if everybody is talking about it.
