Understanding how to observe, chart and interpret our shifting signs of fertility is a foundational skill for feeling more at home in ourselves and our bodies as women and menstruators.
Cycle charting is a powerful tool that steers us away from the pace and expectations of the external world and brings us back into what is real for us.
It offers a practical pathway for listening to our body rather than denying, ignoring or overriding it. It helps us understand that our hormones are continually shaping who we are and how we are. It helps us to see that this is ok and that we can embrace how cyclical we are.
All my expertise, resources and experience about the menstrual cycle, how to chart it and much more is now available for anyone to access in my online course, charting your fertility cycle.
Wondering what I mean by fertility empowerment?
Fertility empowerment is an idea I teach to help us navigate our cycle charting practice and make contraceptive choices that are right for us.
If you’d like to hear me explain more about fertility empowerment, sign up to my newsletter to get the link to this part of the course as a free sneaky peek.
I started planning this course when I was 2 years into teaching Natural Family Planning. I saw the limitations of in person work with time/money constraints and I found myself repeating basic theory without having enough time to support people with their everyday experience of charting.
It takes time and support to learn Natural Family Planning for it to be a success. This is especially true to use it safely and effectively as contraception ~ so I go into this in great depth in the course.
The content of this course is a bit like a foundation course for anyone experiencing the power of a menstrual cycle. It is the menstrual knowledge I’d like to see handed from mother to daughter at home and the information I’d love to see taught in schools.
I want cycle charting normalised, accepted and more integrated into our everyday life so we can create a healthier menstrual culture that fully welcomes the menstruating body rather than marginalising, medicating or ignoring it.
My hope in offering the course is to spread information about the menstrual cycle and Natural Family Planning more widely and easily ~ for it to be used by more people in a wide range of situations from menarche to menopause.
The course has sections covering charting your cycle:
as a method of contraception
when coming of hormonal contraception
for conception
after pregnancy or birth
through peri-menopause
Lifetime access to the course content means you can return to it as and when your situation changes.
