My story✨

Colleen Howell,
Holistic Hormone Health & FAM Coach

Practicing the sympto-thermal fertility awareness method completely changed my life, my health and my relationship to myself.

Sure, I gravitated toward it initially because it seemed like the most effective way for me to prevent pregnancy without synthetic hormones post-HBC 9+ years ago

BUT what I didn’t realize is the immense benefits it would provide me outside of this.

I deepened my relationship with my body in ways I never even knew were possible.

In tracking my basal body temperature each morning and my cervical mucus throughout the day, I am able to more deeply understand the patterns of my cyclical body, how I have recovered from the day prior’s stress levels (physical activity, psychological stress, food, drink, sickness, etc.), if I am in my fertile window, if I’ve ovulated or not, and therefore, the best way I can support myself.

In this way, I am receiving insight into my mood, energy levels, sex drive, brain function, skin elasticity, social inclinations, confidence, immune function, muscle recovery, metabolism, hunger levels and so on.

Having this much information about your body on a daily basis is as wildly empowering as it is validating…and has completely re-shaped my well-being.

It is the ultimate bio-hacking and self-compassion tool for women.

THIS is why I became a FAM instructor.

Frequently asked questions 👁

  • Professional instruction leads to higher success rates and increased user confidence. In most evidence-based studies that demonstrate high efficacy of FAM methods, users received standardized training and follow-up from experienced instructors. Professional instruction addresses your unique cycles, gynecological history, and integration of FAM into your life.

  • Yes! It is an inaccurate but common assumption that fertility awareness methods are only for those with regular cycles. Not only can a woman with irregular periods use FAM, but she is often better served doing so because charting her body’s signs or biomarkers can help pinpoint what is happening and/or any underlying issues that may be causing or contributing to her irregular cycle.

  • FAM is an umbrella term for a variety of different natural pregnancy prevention methods. The most effective and gold standard is the sympto-thermal fertility awareness method, which requires tracking and charting your basal body temperature and cervical fluid daily so that you can accurately identify your fertile window. Feel free to read more at factsaboutfertility.org.

  • A cycle tracking app simply allows for you to log in your period and then roughly calculates the rest from there which is not suitable for pregnancy prevention. A fertility tracking app allows you to input biomarkers, like basal body temperature and cervical mucus, to identify your fertile window which can be a supportive tool in pregnancy prevention...but even more so in tandem with professional FAM instruction.

  • Each workshop will be 60 minutes on Zoom. There will be a larger portion of instruction on the May 1 call anda larger portion for Q&A on the June 5 call.

  • Yes! Your partner is welcome! When in relationship, it’s a game changer to have your partner bought into and supportive of this method of preventing pregnancy. That way, they also know when you’re in your fertile window, when protection is needed when sexually active, and where you’re at in your cycle generally to optimally show up for you.

  • Using the sympto-thermal fertility awareness method not only allows you to effectively prevent pregnancy without synthetic hormones and conceive with ease, but also allows you to attune to your cyclical body or “bio-hack” on the deepest level - better understand your mood, energy levels, libido, brain function, hunger, metabolism, digestion, sleep, how certain food and drink impact you and exactly when your period is coming. It’s a learning curve and will become second nature!

  • Yes! Each attendee will be invited into a Whatsapp group chat between the first and second workshops where you can share your wins, inquiries and anything else that comes up.

  • That’s perfectly fine. I will be recording them both and sending them out shortly after we finish. If you can make it live though, that would be preferable to receive more interactive, tailored instruction.
