About the FAC

Not only did I learn about my body but being able to read the signs that my body gives to prevent & promote fertility is a GIFT. Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant knowledge. Every man & woman should know this.

I just wanted to thank you for all your help last summer when we were getting pregnant. Not only did FAM help us get pregnant so fast, but it also helped me provide the midwives with really accurate dating (I have a very long cycle) & it thus enabled me to have an unmedicated VBAC as we went post date. Without that accurate dating we would have been headed for a repeat C-section.

I used FAM successfully to avoid conception for 3 years after your class, and then we bat it out of the park on our first try. 🙂 YAY FAM!

I have been afraid of my privates for a very long time – I never knew what was going on. Turns out, what I thought was a perpetual yeast infection is just cervical fluid! I feel very in tune with my body in a way I’ve never been before.

R. and I were just talking about our session the other night and we wanted to thank you for all of the great info you provided. You answered all our questions and gave us the guidance we were looking for. We really got a lot out of it!
