Of course! The core curriculum is made up of recorded classes split into manageable chunks that you can access anytime after they are released. And yes, the Q+A's, mentorship sessions and live sessions will all be recorded and uploaded into your course site within 48 hours of the recording, usually less.

The live Q+A's will be Fridays at 11am eastern (9 weeks).

The mentorship sessions will be on Wednesdays at 2pm eastern (4 biweekly sessions following core curriculum). 

The vulva mapping and tincture sessions are both on Sundays at 2pm eastern. 

(If there is a strong need, I may add a q+a or mentorship session in an evening or weekend sometime, lmk if this is you)

You do NOT have to be live to get your questions answered, there is a depository for you to share your questions during the program (Feb 23-June 17th) so I can answer your Q's or support you even if the time doesn't work for you. You'll be be sent a reminder leading up to any and all live sessions!

1-2 hours/week, more if you are coming to live sessions and implementing what you're learning. But it's up to you how deeply you engage. There is no rush or pressure to be on the live calls or to complete the course while we're together. You'll retain access to all the materials and recordings.

I've done my best to make this course as digestible as possible while also giving you the information you need. Most modules are about an hour long total, and the materia medica module is a bit longer than that. 

If you're interested in transitioning off hormonal birth control and feel curious about your natural contraception options then YES this program is for you. Not only is there a kickass guide and audio recording to support you with herbs, supplements, etc in your transition off, but you'll learn how to start tracking right away after you stop. You'll have the foundations to use whenever you are ready.

You can also engage in the Q+A sessions if you have any other questions.

Great question! Honestly, this program is probably perfect for you.

The first module will be a little redundant since you are already deep in the practice, but the rest of the course will help you deepen into your embodied anatomy and work effectively with the herbs layered into your FAM practice.

Come to the first Q+A's with your charts for chart reviews, that would be SO GREAT to model for other students what completed charts can look like as they get going in their practice.

Having a strong grasp of your confirmed ovulation and luteal phase is ideal for effective herbal pregnancy prevention practice so you are going to be well equipped to dive deeply into the herbal allies and perhaps even make your own medicine if that's of interest, too.

This course is taught at a beginner/intermediate level of anatomy/physiology, FAM practice, and herbal medicine.

If you're already practicing FAM perfectly, are teaching pelvic anatomy, hormonal health AND have a strong background in herbalism for pregnancy release, this may not be the right program for you. 

What I'll be teaching comes from personal embodied FAM practice since 2008, midwifery school and birth work for 5 years, studying herbal medicine in grad school, classes with Dr. Aviva Romm, Dr. Camille Freeman, Dr. Jessica Drummond, Tessa Michaela, Ember Peters, Molly Dutton-Kenny, Mischa Schuler, David Winston and others, and a number of pelvic bodywork classes I've taken in the last few years. Oh and my own personal experiences, and experiences with clients and friends.

I bring it all together into a tapestry that's meant to layer into new or existing FAM practice. Which is what I've found most effective.

You'll have access to the course for the lifetime of the course. As long as I'm still using the course platform and running the course, you will have access. Likely, years. Maybe decades. However, each time I offer a live cohort, I'll delete the previous q+a/mentorship sessions so be sure to watch those sooner than later. If life happens and I choose to close down the course, you will know *at least* 3 months before I do so. That way you'll have time to go back, review the material, download the PDF's etc. In other words, it's not going anywhere. But I highly recommend following along live because you'll get so much more out of it if you participate with the group.

No. This is a group mentorship program. However, you will be able to ask me questions (pre-submitted or live) during the Q+A's about each module's content (9 total Q+A sessions). I will do my best to answer every question and offer coaching + chart reviews as possible.  During the 2 months of biweekly group mentorship sessions, there may be opportunities to receive individualized coaching and chart reviews, depending on the size of the cohort. My intention is for you to get your questions answered, get the coaching you need, and help you start practicing your Natural Contraception Plan with confidence. So every effort will be made to support you within the time we have. Individual coaching sessions will be available to schedule if needed - reach out if you want to explore this.

You are fully responsible for any herbs you choose to take. That said, I will be sharing about 18 different herbs that have potential to support your natural contraception practice, so there will be options for you to choose from. I will share safety and interaction information that I have access to so use that as a guide when you choose. However, I always recommend you check with a practitioner or your provider before choosing to work with herbs. It is fully within your own personal responsibility to check for any concerns you have. I am NOT your personal practitioner so do not have any liability for your individual choices of herbs.  

If you're taking meds, you can absolutely practice FAM (cycle tracking). We'll talk about how a couple meds (and possibly herbs) could impact some of your fertility signs, but otherwise - totally fair game. 

Not all herbs work the same in all people. You'll be reminded to listen to your own body and/or work with a practitioner to determine which herbs are the best choices for you. This is especially important if you're on any meds with a narrow therapeutic index (eg if the dose changes slightly, it's a big deal).

We will definitely talk about herbal safety. *And* your choice of using herbs (and which ones) is always your own personal responsibility. Please seek out the guidance of a provider on safety and interactions specific to your needs.

This course is for anyone with internal anatomy. Women, queer folks, trans folks welcome. While I may occasionally use gendered language, I will mostly be referring to anatomy and physiology along the way. It is totally appropriate for folks who fall along the gender spectrum with internal anatomy (uterus, vagina, etc) and menstrual cycles. However, it is not specifically geared towards queer folks, so students may use gendered language and my intention is for everyone to feel comfortable speaking to their own personal experience. I cannot make a space *safe* for you, but please know that I fully welcome queer and trans folks into this space if you feel called to join us. (and yeah, all sexual orientations and relationship structures are fully welcome here, too)

This course is really NOT relevant for folks with penises. Though if you choose to learn it, you could probably really impress your partner! ;) 

Probably not in the context of this course. While we will certainly talk about common cycle imbalances and what to look out for, and we can do chart reviews of some folks who need some troubleshooting (eg, are you having anovulatory cycles, or maybe your luteal phase is short).

We can talk about those things, and there may be some therapeutic information that shows up in our Q+A sessions, but this course is specifically oriented to natural contraception practice and that is what we will continue re-orienting ourselves to. I may need to abstain from answering some questions if they are not relevant and/or if we don't have enough time.

Regardless of the space we have to engage on those topics, any information in a group session will be generalized and not specific for your unique body, constitution or multi-system picture. 

If you need more clinical support, you'll need to see out a practitioner or other coursework (or potentially my podcast) to help you. 

No! The point of this program is to move at a pace that feels achievable and manageable, and is more experiential rather than just soaking up information you never use. 

We will start with the foundations of confidently tracking your cycle and understanding the hormonal and tissue layer changes throughout your own cycle. Ideally you will start tracking your own cycle during the first week or two, and by the time we get to the herbs, you'll be well on your way to understanding (or deepening your relationship with) your own body's cyclical shifts and changes. 

You cannot effectively work with herbs without being confident in your cycle tracking practice, which is why we are starting there. 

There will be an integration week to help you catch up and implement after every 2 modules (3 total integration weeks). There will be q+a's each of these weeks as well.

New modules and bonuses will be dripped out. I promise this helps build from foundations up.

Okay, so the deal is that I'm a tiny micro business owner at the moment so I don't have a ton of bandwidth for processing refunds. If you think you might not like the course, please don't buy it! That said, I will offer full refunds (minus processing fees) until March 15th, 2026. That will give you plenty of time to check out the FAM trainings, embodied anatomy, my q+a style, to get a chance to see if this is for you. If you're like, "nah, this ain't for me", you'll need to let me know VIA EMAIL by 11:59pm on Sunday March 15th, 2026. After that date, no refunds will be processed.

If you ask for a refund, you will lose access to the course, you will NOT receive any of the group mentorship, the final 3 modules of the course, the live vaginal steaming class or the womb connection meditations. Those are all reserved for folks who commit to the course.
