A 90 minute training for women’s health providers
-
learn more about fertility awareness methods (FAMs), how they work for birth control + pregnancy, & how to use them to spot menstrual cycle imbalances that can cause period and fertility problems.
No longer be caught off-guard when patients ask about natural birth control options, want you to look at their cycle tracking charts, or ask about natural fertility support before seeking iui & ivf.
Hi, I’m Brandy
I'm a Certified Fertility Awareness Educator, Menstrual Cycle Educator, and the Founder of Sauvage Wellness.
With over 10 years of experience with fertility awareness methods (FAMs), I have taught women in 6+ countries across 3 continents how to use FAMs as birth control, to help them get pregnant when ready, and to spot menstrual cycle imbalances that were causing period & fertility struggles.
And - NONE of my clients have gotten pregnant after working with me unless they wanted to!
More About Me:
> Trained with the Natural Family Planning Teachers’ Association (NFPTA) based in the UK
> A Member of Richmond Wellness, a perinatal & family wellness center in Richmond, VT
> A featured FAM Educator with the Read Your Body app (the only app approved for FAMs use by FAM educators)
> Birth doula
> Prenatal & Postnatal yoga instructor at GROW Family Wellness Center in Vermont
What you’ll learn:
Did you know that there is no such thing as THE Fertility Awareness Method? It’s true. Fertility Awareness Methods are a category of natural, cycle tracking methods of birth control and pregnancy achievement. Learn all about the many different types of FAMs, the cycle signs + symptoms that we keep track of, & why they can be so effective (up to 99.6%) at preventing pregnancy.
FAMS - WHAT THEY ARE + WHY THEY WORK
Learn more about the most robust research study to date on the sympto-thermal double check method of FAMs that we use and teach here at Sauvage Wellness. This research study out of Germany, published in 2007, studied 900 women and over 17,000 menstrual cycles to determine that the STM double check method is up to 99.6% effective as birth control when learned from a trained educator.
tHE pETRA fRANK-HERRMANN STUDY
Explore + debunk some of the most common myths and misconceptions about FAMs including: that FAMs are the rhythm method (they are not!), that using an app or femtech device is using FAMs (yikes, no!), that they’re not effective birth control (see: The Petra Frank-Herrmann study), that they are unreliable in women with irregular cycles (nope! I’ve worked with lots of women with PCOS.), and that they are complicated + confusing to use (It literally takes 3 minutes a day to use!).
FAMS MYTHS + MISCONCEPTIONS
HOW TO USE FAMS FOR BIRTH CONTROL + PREGNANCY
Learn the exact rules of the sympto-thermal double check method and how we use them to both prevent pregnancy AND achieve pregnancy when ready. You’ll get to learn the 4 rules and see them applied to sample cycle charts.
Discover the many ways that we can use FAMs cycle tracking charts to spot potential menstrual cycle imbalances that can cause period problems and fertility struggles. With FAMs cycle tracking charts we can spot signs of hypothyroidism, ovarian cysts, fibroids, PCOS, estrogen excess, low progesterone, and more. This makes cycle tracking charts an excellent diagnostic support tool for patients & providers to better identify underlying imbalances and create more tailored, personalized soultions.
HOW TO USE FAMS TO SPOT MENSTRUAL CYCLE IMBALANCES
HOW TO READ A FAMS CYCLE TRACKING CHART
Last, but perhaps most importantly, you will learn how to read a sympto-thermal double check method FAMs chart so that you can feel confident + knowledgeable when clients who track their cycles share their charts with you. You’ll learn how to better interpret a FAMs cycle chart and answer cycle-related questions based on a patient’s cycle tracking data.
