What is FAM?
FAM (fertility awareness method) is
the practice of learning to read the quiet messages of your body
to determine when you’re fertile & when you’re not. It's an invitation to better understand your cycles, your hormones, your desires, and your ebbs and flows. FAM is a beautiful insight into your Divine Feminine and the ways you can BEST support your body, hormones, and fertility in order to heal + flow in this life the exact way you were DESIGNED to... with ease, expansion, + WHOLENESS.
The term FAM is short for fertility awareness method and is an umbrella term I use to describe the daily practice of noticing + charting your body’s biomarkers. There are actually numerous different fertility awareness methods that can help us to understand our fertility and hormones. I personally use and teach the symptothermal method which includes daily tracking of your cervical fluid + basal body temperature, with the option to also track cervix positioning.
By tracking these scientifically proven messages from our bodies, FAM gives you a detailed understanding of your body, inner cycles, and fertility and allows you to decide how this is meaningful to YOU.
FAM can be a valuable tool to reach MANY goals, including:
- BODY LITERACY It is your basic human right, your birthright as a cycler to understand your body parts, hormones, & cycles. Holistic FAM education can help you to better understand + befriend your periods, cycles, hormones, + body. It helps you predict when periods are coming. Helps you understand WHY you may be having certain symptoms or concerns. And invites you into more of a flow with your own body + experience.
- MONITORING HEALTH + HOLISTIC HEALING Your cycles are a downstream reflection of our overall health and often one of the FIRST signs your body gives you something is off.. By learning to track cycles you can gain valuable insights into your fertility + overall health and identify potential hormonal imbalances so you can start to work to NATURALLY heal them.
- NATURAL BIRTH CONTROL Your body TELLS YOU when it's fertile and when it is not. You can only get pregnant 6-7 days per cycle! Research shows the double-check symptothermal method (what I use + teach) is 99.4-99.6% effective. That’s more effective than hormonal birth control pills! AND it’s 100% natural without hormones and all of the nasty side effects that come with them!
- CONSCIOUS CONCEPTION By knowing your fertility we also have the ability to consciously align your actions to call in a pregnancy in your fertile window by looking for healthy findings + timing sex accordingly
- CYCLE SYNCING + CYCLICAL LIVING Our hormones, our energies shift throughout our cycles. By becoming aware of this + acting aligned with it, you can find a flow and ease in your life, moving in sync WITH YOUR cycles rather than constantly feeling at ends and struggling AGAINST your body + its wisdom
- DEVELOPING A DEEPER INTUITION, SELF-LOVE & EMPOWERMENT Our bodies call us into understanding, into relationship. By learning your unique cyclical patterns and taking the time to honor & support these cycles you will be invited to a more empowered, sovereign, loving, healed relationship with your body and your stories around it
