Dear xtakenx,

However much she feels like it! Masturbation is safe and healthy. Some people — girls as well as guys — masturbate every day, some people masturbate once a week, some people once a month, and some people never masturbate at all. That's because everyone is different. Rest assured that whatever frequency of masturbation suits you best is perfectly normal.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
