Secular, Inclusive & Feminist Fertility Awareness

I respect the many reasons that a person might choose to learn fertility awareness.  Classes are secular and inclusive of alternative family structures and all types of sexual relationships (though using the method as birth control does not protect against STIs).  I trust that each person will choose how to apply this information in a way that best suits them. I am a Fertility Awareness and Reproductive Health Educator, certified through Grace of the Moon.

I’ve personally been using the symptothermal method of fertility awareness (FAM) as birth control for about ten years.  It is so satisfying how the practice deepens my connection to my body’s subtle rhythms and enhances intimacy with my partner. I have spent my adult life working in women’s health as a student midwife, birth doula, and postpartum doula and am pleased to offer FAM consulting as an extension of my passion for holistic reproductive healthcare.
