I get it: Ditching hormonal birth control can feel risky

I went from dating the pill for five years to finally calling it quits and dumping my traditional birth control methods for good. But, it took some time (and serious discomfort)to get me to that place.

Maybe you’ve had a scare before. Perhaps you’ve just never heard it could be any other way.

Well. There is another way. And it’s no riskier than whatever birth control method you’re using right now.

⬆️ That’s what I wish someone had told me when I walked into my doctor’s office looking for a contraception method at 19 years old.

But they didn’t. And it took me 5 years of not feeling quite right to figure it out.

I had lost my libido, was feeling disconnected from myself and had started to feel anxious, panicked and frustrated…

My boyfriend was once again standing in front of me asking me why I wasn’t in the mood. It had become a little bit of a ritual for us, if I’m honest.
I was waking up feeling lacklustre – a shadow of myself. I lost the real Jess.
My brain felt foggy, plain and simple. Mental Clarity had up and walked out of my life.

Now I know why.

It wasn’t until one Saturday afternoon. I was scrolling through Instagram and stumbled upon a post from a health coach I follow. In it, she mentioned charting your cycles as a natural method of birth control.

*Brain Explosion*

I dove deep into researching the benefits of charting your cycle that Saturday afternoon. I read article after article and watched video after video.

And within an afternoon, my entire world changed. I found the cause of why I’d been feeling so “meh.” I finally found a natural method of birth control.

And it turns out, I wasn’t alone in my search for it.

A Kinsey Institute Study found that 40% of women who started the pill felt a drop in well-being, and 40% also felt a loss of sexual desire.

Yes, 40%?!

Not long after the hormones had exited my body for good did I remember what it was to be ME

I could think more clearly again
My anxiety was gone
I felt more grounded and connected to my mind and body
My libido returned in full force

I couldn’t believe it – I started to feel like myself again for the first time in five years!

That’s why learning the science behind FAM is so important

Most of the women who come to me are not even aware there’s a method of birth control that’s hormone-free and natural.

They’re unaware of the effects their hormonal birth control can have on their body – depression, anxiety, loss of libido, water retention, bloating, moodiness.

That’s how I can help you.

Who am I?

I’m Jess!

A Certified Sympto-Thermal Method Instructor and Fertility Awareness fan girl. I teach women how to chart their menstrual cycles as a natural method of contraception so they can quit hormonal birth control for good.

When I started down the path of FAM, it seemed impossible to find a reliable and consistent source of advice & insights. The information was all over the place, and finding someone to turn to for support felt impossible.

Determined to make it MUCH easier for the next woman to educate herself and find support in transitioning to a natural, hormone-free method of birth control, I became the resource I had been searching for.

I didn’t have anyone to guide the way as I learned the ins and outs of how to chart my cycle, but I’m here to make sure you feel supported, empowered, safe, and secure as you learn to chart yours!

why i do what i do...

I wish more people knew about this option of birth control
I feel so much more freedom and empowerment with understanding what’s going on with my body and having the ability to read the signs it gives me at different stages of my cycle. Working with Jess has been such a positive experience, she has so much knowledge to share and has formatted the course in a way that is easy to follow.

10 years spent trying to work out what my body is doing, and in 3 one hour sessions, Jess has changed my life
I now know what my body is doing and at what time in MY cycle! Being told for 10+ years that I was infertile due to no ovulation - Jess and I discovered that I do ovulate, my body just isn't "textbook" or "normal" as so many specialists have quoted to me before [...] Couldn't recommend Jess more; she's caring, empathetic and incredibly knowledgeable. Jess, if I could get back the tens of thousands of dollars I've spent on "specialists" over the years and give it all to you I would. You deserve every penny, the work you're doing is so important. Thank you, thank you, thank you 💜

I would absolutely recommend Jess as an instructor
I would absolutely recommend Jess as an instructor. She is professional in her approach, incredibly friendly and very approachable. I really enjoyed learning with Jess.

Jess genuinely broke everything down to be extremely easy and digestible
Charting felt daunting felt like there were so many puzzle pieces that you had to fit together, but Jess genuinely broke everything down to be extremely easy and digestible!
