In 1994, my roommate and I responded to a flyer that we had seen all over Manhattan. It advertised a workshop in “Natural Birth Control.” This was at the dawn of the internet, boys and girls. No Google. No Wikipedia. Taking Charge Of Your Fertility was still being written. So while we were pretty much in the dark, it sounded intriguing, and we went. And the rest, as they say, is history. The workshop was taught by Barbara Feldman, one of the first people to teach Fertility Awareness in a non-religious context in the US. Barbara became my mentor, and in 2001, when she died, I took over The Fertility Awareness Center, the teaching practice she had started in 1981. In this capacity, my main role is that of a Fertility Awareness Educator (FAE). I have provided hundreds of clients with instruction in secular, sympto-thermal Fertility Awareness.

As a Fertility Awareness Educator, I welcome as clients anywhere on the gender spectrum with the capacity to cycle (cisgender women, transmasculine and nonbinary folx), with or without partners, monogamous or not, sexually active or not, in a manner that attempts to be competent with respect to race and ethnicity, cultural identity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, physical ability, and gender identity. I support ALL reproductive choices; my goal is to help you make the ones that are best for you.
