Fertility Awareness is a way of taking care of ourselves and our bodies. It involves intentional self care, lifestyle choices, and the practice of body literacy.
what is the fertility awareness method?
the fertility awareness method is the practice of charting our primary and secondary fertility symptoms to achieve our fertility goals - whether that be to avoid pregnancy, to achieve pregnancy, or to optimize our hormonal health.
what fertility awareness based method is taught in the kindred fertility four week course?
I'm certified to teach ‘cycle mapping’ developed by Sarah Bly of the well: school of body literacy. cycle mapping is a highly effective, secular, 'Symptothermal' method of Fertility Awareness. ‘sympto’ — Cervical Fluid & Cervical Position, ‘thermal’ — basal body temperature
as an added bonus, every one of my students receives three months of free charting with the read your body app, my preferred charting app, as a benefit of learning fertility awareness with me
what kindred fertility students are saying
“Tamara provided so much support and understanding during our sessions. She worked with me individually to create sustainable charting methods and was always encouraging, even when my charts were incomplete or I wasn't able to complete homework fully. She approached my anxieties and past experience with so much grace and helped me lift some of the shame I had surrounding tracking my cycle.
Tamara was an incredible and thoughtful instructor who answered all my questions clearly and really understood where I was coming from. I'm so grateful for our time together and really owe her a lot of my confidence and understanding with the practice!”

“I felt supported and understood through every step of the learning process and post-class evaluations through Tamara's ability to hold space for and honor my body and my personal charting journey. Tamara made this sacred knowledge feel easily accessible and approachable.
I am eternally grateful to Tamara for holding this sacred space and helping us learn our body's language and connect to that deep knowledge within all of us. This has absolutely kick-started a deeper level of self-love and self awareness that I will carry with me forever.”
