Fertility Awareness for Avoiding Pregnancy

Have you tried every birth control medication, device, and gimmick on the market? 

Are you struggling to find something that works for you? 

​

Over more than a decade working in sexual health and abortion care, I have seen literally every single birth control method fail. While there is nothing that is 100% effective on its own, we can use our knowledge to combine methods and create personalized strategies that work. Much of the time people are simply not equipped with information about what they are using, how it affects their bodies, and how they might troubleshoot if they make a mistake. 

​

What is missing from the picture is empowered and informed decision-making.

 

Without knowledge about how bodies work, knowledge about the actual chances of pregnancy, and practical information about what to do when the inevitable human thing happens and we make a mistake, most people are in the dark about how to avoid pregnancy.

 

Have you ever gone to a doctor to get birth control, and left their office 5 minutes later with a short explanation and a prescription in your hand? Discussions of birth control are incredibly short, and most people do not receive comprehensive counselling about their options that would help them pick something that is most suitable for them. The result is that you find out that the method you were prescribed might not be for you only after experiencing bothersome side effects, being confused about how to use it, or realizing that you weren't told important info about it. 

​

Fertility Awareness is unlike any other method out there. This is a practice based on information, self-knowledge, and self-accountability. When you learn Fertility Awareness you learn about your body, about your menstrual cycle and chances of pregnancy throughout, and you get to use that information how you see fit. 

​

The Justisse Method is easy to learn, and uses a unique system of colour stamps that is especially suitable for visual learners. It's a new life skill -  like learning to speak a new language, or to play a new instrument. Fertility awareness is the only method of fertility management that also brings you closer to your body, yourself, and your partner(s). 

​

There are no side effects. Minimal ongoing costs. No prescriptions or renewals needed. You can start and stop using the method anytime - no questions asked. 

​​​​​​

Learning Fertility Awareness can be a life changing endeavour. This is not only a practice of birth control - it is powerful self-knowledge that can take you through all reproductive life transitions.

If you are ready to know yourself more intimately, and have the information and support you need to make empowered choices, you're in the right place!
