What is FEMM?

FEMM (Fertility Education + Medical Management) is a knowledge- and science-based reproductive health program for women, which teaches them to identify, track, and comprehend changes in their bodies that are relevant to their health and fertility. Women are guided to notice important, specific biological signs—i.e., menstruation and ovulation—and understand both why these signs occur and what they mean for their general and sexual health.

Why is charting your cycle important?

Your fertility cycle is a vital sign of health! Understanding your unique cycle and patterns will help you understand your body and identify if there are areas of concern to bring up with your doctor for additional support. Body literacy is important to understanding yourself and is a great metric for your overall health!

What does it take to learn FEMM?

Clients will participate in 3 educational sessions where they will learn how to chart their cycle via paper charting or the FEMM app and review their own charts with me. See below for a brief description of each of the sessions.
