I'm a former competitive Irish dancer trained in sports medicine and fertility awareness. I've taught over 200 women and couples FEMM for health, cycle based exercise, and family planning. I'm also a huge advocate for restorative reproductive health, holistic lifestyles, informed consent, & medical freedom.
I teach FEMM for health because it supports the normal, physiological processes of the reproductive system: ovulation, conception, and pregnancy.
Cycle-based living & exercise (see my course Sync Up!) is the cherry on top! By paying attention to how your hormones affect your energy, moods, and interests, you can plan your life in a way that supports your cycle instead of fighting its fluctuations.
FEMM allowed me to easily navigate some of my own health concerns. Personally, I dealt with missing periods, irregular cycles, anovulation, extreme pain and fatigue, as well as potential infertility. Through charting, I was able to guide my body back to healthy, ovulatory cycles with the support of skilled practitioners.
Wanna know the best part? I was able to see, in real time, the changes that supplements and lifestyle habits were making on my health! That's the power of charting!
I teach FEMM for family planning, not only because it's an integral part of my faith, but also because it works! I believe in the dignity of the human person and our God-given design. I love that we can use fertility awareness as a tool for health as well as discernment.
The beauty of using your cycle as a foundation for your health and family planning is that you learn to work with your fertility, not against it.
