Description

The workshop has so much to offer: vital knowledge and understanding about your cycles and hormones; a new skills set; a sense of control, proficiency, and confidence in everything related to managing your fertility for the rest of your life!

The Fertility Awareness Method workshop is a unique opportunity to meet others, like yourself, who want to learn FAM in a small group, from home, in a casual and intimate setting.

The framework also entitles you to a year of unlimited, individual follow-up. It is truly a gift for life! (read here about what others have to say….)

• Each workshop consists of four group sessions on zoom, 2 ½ hours each, with approximately two weeks between the sessions. In total, the learning time is ten hours, spread out over eight weeks.
• The time frame allows each participant to practice charting their fertility signs, gain valuable experience, and successfully implement the method for whatever their personal goals are.
• Having access to a year of personal follow-up will strengthen your understanding of the method and give you confidence.
• Each person progresses at their own pace; there is no pressure, deadline, or exams!
• The cost of the workshop includes ten hours of small group learning, handouts, presentations, personal follow-up for a year, and an individual one-on-one meeting (with or without your partner), after charting for a number of cycles.
• Follow-up also includes referrals for diagnostic tests, test result interpretation, and future refresher sessions, at no additional charge.

A new workshop begins once every 2 months, with a minimum of 4-5 participants and a maximum of 6 participants.

FAM Workshop Objectives

• Understand the menstrual cycle and the hormones that control it
• Learn to identify the “fertile window” – the only days of the month that pregnancy is possible
• Gauge how balanced and healthy your cycle is
• Become familiar with all the non-hormonal and non-invasive methods of contraception that can be used during fertile days
• Increase your sense of control and peace of mind by knowing exactly when you are fertile and when you’re not, on a daily basis
• Create a new connection with your body, cycle, fertility, and health, and be an active partner in your own health care
• Join a community of like-minded women who want to achieve the same goals as you

What you will learn

• Scientific foundations and principles of the fertility awareness method
• Reproductive anatomy and physiology
• Everything you want to know about the menstrual cycle
• The relationship between our hormones, cycles, fertility, sexuality, and health
• Techniques and instructions for charting your fertility signs (takes two minutes a day)
• The rules for applying the method and practicing it
• Other methods of contraception that can be used with FAM
• Concepts regarding contraceptive effectiveness and safety
• Internal checks (secretions and cervix)

The final one-on-one meeting is meant for those who want to move to the next step. This means learning how to summarize your own personal patterns, as seen through 4-6 fertility charts, and learning shortcuts and other rules that can provide more freedom on infertile days.

The workshop is also open to breastfeeders.
