My approach
I turned to fertility awareness method as a means to help diagnose my own hormone imbalance as I was unable to find any health practitioner that would agree to have me tested or anyone that could understand the symptoms I was feeling. Fertility awareness gave me an understanding of my body and hormones and empowered me to make the changes in my diet, lifestyle and supplements that I actually needed and really worked. Now I want to help other women do the same. My approach is slow, gentle and sustainable. I understand that habit change is hard and takes time. I also understand that we need to understand “why” before we can make lasting changes. I care a lot about imparting the knowledge needed to support change in health and lifestyle.
FAM:
I am trained in sympto-thermal fertility awareness method. My training was based heavily on the billings method which is very focused on correct cervical mucous identification. I have also employed some more personal learnings from the sensi-plan method which is considered the most effective form of FAM. My approach to FAM does not require complete abstinence in the fertile window and barrier methods are allowed. I teach FAM for women who wish to get pregnant faster and women who wish to avoid pregnancy without the use of hormonal birth control. Based on my additional education in my Masters of Medicine in Sexual and Reproductive Health, I also use FAM as a way to help identify potential hormone imbalances and can talk through various treatment option choices if necessary.
Nutrition:
My education in nutrition has been focused on nutrition science. As I am not a nutritionist or dietician, I do not offer any calculated or strict food plans or regimes to follow. Slow and gentle changes are the most suitable for supporting female metabolism and physiology and are most likely to result in long-term sustainable change. My approach is to empower you with the knowledge you need to make the food choices that are right for you, while gently supporting you along the way. Nutrition advice from me is tailored around the female physiology. I cover foundational principles for eating in a way that is most supportive of hormone balance. Advice is modified to help target any unique hormonal imbalances.
Although I am predominantly plant-based you do not need to be plant-based to work with me, nor will I expect you to become plant-based. I strongly believe in a food first approach. In the situations where supplementation is required I recommend whole-food based products when appropriate.
