In my high school years and through my early 20s, I experienced symptoms of hormone dysregulation, skin issues, and burnout through intense seasons of stress. The few times I went to the doctor, I was given a symptom-based treatment plan that never addressed why I was feeling the way I was. I knew there had to be more to the story, which ignited a fierce curiosity to understand how our bodies work. After graduating from nursing school, I started my career as a labor and delivery nurse, and my affinity for natural health only grew from there. I dug into the world of health and wellness and found it overwhelming and conflicting, at times swinging between extremes of diet culture as I tried to navigate the noise. Over years of study and practice, I learned how to work with my body, create sustainable habits, and support my health without obsessing over it.

Since discovering it six years ago, fertility awareness has been profound in helping me heal my relationship with my body and understand its deep wisdom. I've learned from experience that the body never lies. It works in our best interest, even when it doesn't feel that way. Learning the language of my cycle, reading the rhythm of my hormone ebbs and flows. It helps me stay grounded in the present and tune inward with self-compassion. It's poetic, but also purposeful.

Throughout my nursing career, I had the privilege of listening to the stories of many women. While each person is unique, I kept noticing a theme: women are hungry for answers to their health, yet many remain stuck in a cycle of burnout and frustrating symptoms. Those stories - from patients, friends, and acquaintances - fueled my desire to support women more holistically.

​

As women, our lives aren't static. We're constantly progressing through the cycles of womanhood: from menarche into our fertility years, then menopause and beyond. For women who are still ovulating and menstruating, fertility awareness can expand with us through the changing seasons of life: desires to understand and improve hormone health, wanting to avoid or achieve pregnancy, living in sync with the hormone dance within. It is all welcome. These past few years, I've learned different methods of charting, dug into research studies, adapted charting to my own changing cycle, charted through different life seasons, completed two FAM instructor certifications, and worked one-on-one with clients. All of that raw, real, and messy experience has led me to now.

Nursing is where my curiosity took root, and that experience shapes how I teach today. However, as a Fertility Awareness Educator, I do not practice under my nursing license, and I'm not acting as a nurse or healthcare provider for my clients.
