There are countless benefits to charting your cycle!

Fertility Awareness is a lifestyle choice and self-care tool in the larger arena of Body Literacy that involves cultivating a living relationship with your cycle.  

I teach a highly effective Fertility Awareness Based Method (FABM), as taught by The Well School of Body Literacy. This Sympto-Thermal Method (STM) relies on tracking your:

• Cervical Fluid

• Basal Body Temperature (BBT)

• Cervical Position (optional)

By tracking these fertility biomarkers, you can identify your Fertile Window, or the days in your cycle during which you can potentially conceive.

Contrary to what many of us grew up believing, we are not fertile everyday! In fact, in an average cycle, there are only 6 days during which conception is possible.

Charting helps you to:

• Identify when you are Fertile (and when you're not!)

• Predict when your next period will be

• Time sex accurately for contraception OR conception, depending on your fertility goals

• Identify underlying fertility/health challenges and receive the support you need

• Understand the unique rhythm of your cycle so that you can optimize your self-care and quality of life

Unlike Apps and other notoriously unreliable methods (like the 'Rhythm Method), charting your cycle relies on daily observations that allow you to answer the question “Am I fertile?” each day, rather than calculations based on past cycles to predict future fertility. This makes it a highly effective method for contraception - up to 99.4%!

Charting your cycle empowers you to understand your body and advocate for the healthcare you deserve, and give you the knowledge to support health challenges such as​:

• Painful periods​

• Irregular or missing periods

• PMS and emotional health during challenging cyclical phases

• Unexplained infertility

• Food and environmental sensitivities

• and so much more!

You may choose to practice Fertility Awareness at any phase of the reproductive life cycle, and doing so can help to support you with:

• Preventing pregnancy naturally

• Optimizing your chances of getting pregnant naturally

• Transitioning off of hormonal contraceptives

• Addressing the root cause of hormone imbalances

• Contraception during breastfeeding

• Transitioning through life phases such as puberty, preconception, postpartum, menopause and beyond

Learn to chart your cycle, and claim the body sovereignty that is your birthright.
