Fertility Awareness

Fertility Awareness is an effective method of achieving or preventing pregnancy naturally by observing your body’s signs of fertility. This is not the inaccurate “rhythm method” but rather a safe and virtually free method proven to be as effective as the birth control pill but without the use of hormones. Reclaim lost women’s wisdom and empower yourself by learning this technique.

Our workshop will cover the basics of Fertility Awareness including the history and science behind the method, the menstrual cycle, learning how to avoid pregnancy and how to maximize your chances of conceiving. You will leave with the knowledge of your fertility signs, and be prepared to chart your cycles.

We'll meet again in two months with the charts you have completed to review, clarify any questions you may have and address any special issues that may have arisen.

Many women learn enough to use this method as their sole method of birth control after two cycles of charting. For women hoping to conceive, the information learned can help them increase their chances each cycle.

I have been practicing Fertility Awareness for the past 10 years and teaching the method to women and student midwives since 2006.

Both private and group classes available, as well as continuing education for health care practitioners. Please contact me for more information.
