Fertility Awareness Education
What’s That Stuff in My Underwear?
Whether you’re trying to get pregnant or trying not to get pregnant (synthetic hormone free), fertility awareness is for you. Actually, if you have a uterus at all and you don’t care either way about having babies, fertility awareness is for you, too! That’s because it’s all about learning to observe and interpret the signals that your body is putting out, all the time.
I know – it kind of sounds like magic. And there is something magical about it! But it’s also cold, hard science, and I’m here to help you get a little bit of both.
As a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner, I’ve trained extensively to teach the Justisse Method of Fertility Awareness and to assist you in interpreting your cycle charts as you get going. I’m also certified through the Association of Fertility Awareness Practitioners, so you could say I’m an expert.
“Working with Vienna was easy and enjoyable. I felt seen and heard and I loved how individualized it was to me and my body/cycle. All suggestions were made out of love.” -Eva G.
What to Expect: Now I Know Exactly What That Clear Stuff Is!
When you sign up for fertility awareness education with me, you’re signing up for a few sessions to ensure not only do you know how to track your fertility, but you also know how to interpret it. While the method can be easy to learn, you’ll get the best results when you receive personalized education from a trained teacher. I promise it’s no harder than learning how to drive, and definitely easier than learning Japanese as an English speaker.
In our very first session, we’ll go over the basics: what actually happens inside your body throughout your menstrual cycle; how to check for fertility signs (aka cervical mucus and basal body temperature); why those signs matter; and how to use the Justisse Method of Fertility Awareness.
Then, you’ll go off on your own and start charting! We'll meet one-on-one a week later to review your health history and fertility goals. We'll also go over any questions that have come up in your first week of tracking your fertility signs. After that, we'll meet every few weeks for follow-up sessions to review your charts together. You'll get clarifications and any necessary corrections on your charts plus we’ll discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
“Vienna is the real deal. When I started working with Vienna, I thought natural family planning was an oxymoron. Over the course of a few sessions, however, Vienna’s expertise and passion for women’s health enabled me to understand my body and utilize that knowledge to avoid pregnancy. Becoming body literate was an empowering experience — one that would not have been possible without Vienna’s personalized guidance along the way. If you are trying to conceive, avoiding pregnancy, or have a vagina and want to know what that’s all about, you need to give Vienna a call.” - Haley C.
Fertility Awareness for Everyone
Fun fact: You don’t have to be straight – or identify as a woman – for fertility awareness to be for you.
Fertility awareness methods can be used by anyone with a functioning uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva, regardless of your sexual orientation, relationship status, or gender identity.
Even if pregnancy isn't a concern for you, gaining an understanding of how your cycle works can provide vital information about your health. In fact, the menstrual cycle is recognized as the 5th vital sign of the body! Charting your cycle can help you increase your chances of success with IUI and IVF, realize underlying health concerns, improve problematic periods, and increase body confidence.
“I would use 3 words to describe my personal experience working with Vienna: refreshing, insightful, and empowering. Under her direction I have discovered the source of many answers for questions I did and didn’t know I had. She’s honest and raw; tells it how it is with no filters and that is something we need more of in this world! I can talk with her like I would a sister because she’s relatable and approachable. She’s here to teach and educate and change the world one woman at a time. I couldn’t do this without her and look forward to working with her for many years to come.” - Maegan Pendleton
