I am here to help make a better world to bleed in!

One where we work with our bodies, not against them, in understanding of and reverence to their beauty, wholeness and inherent creative power.

My approach differs slightly to other FAM trainings; I combine the ‘outer work’ of FAM, with the ‘inner work’ of self inquiry and embodiment.

I support my clients to develop their own unique Conscious Contraception praxis, one that is based on both knowledge and evidence, AND intuition.

I believe that when we invoke the power of a fertility awareness method, whilst simultaneously developing deep self consent and safety within our bodies, we cast a powerful spell of collective reproductive liberation.

I have been in personal use of a FAM (FEMM) for 4 years, with 2 years in practice as an educator (NFPTA). FAM allows me to understand and work with my powerfully communicative cycle (in other words, very challenging premenstrual symptoms!), and heal from several difficult years of hormonal birth control.

I also remain in deep study of (self study unless otherwise indicated):

Menstruality (Red School)
The womb continuum (Samantha Zippora)
Dance (London Contemporary Dance School), conscious movement & embodiment
Trauma
Bodywork & Massage Therapy (School of Bodywork)
Taoism
Yoga (Sarovara Yoga)
Ayurveda (Hale Pule)
Herbalism
Pleasure activism
Vaginal Steaming (Steamy Chick Institute)
Birthwork
Permaculture (Glengall Wharf Community Garden)

In my spare time I like to dance, spend time with my loved ones, swim in the sea, watch folk-horror movies, and read feminist sci-fi fiction.

As well as being fully certified through the NFPTA, I am currently undertaking Lisa Hendrickson Jack’s Fertility Awareness Mastery Mentorship. I hope to be qualified as a FAMM practitioner in July 2024. I am also a student with Samantha Zippora as part of her Fruit of Knowledge community, since August 2023.
