My name is Christy Garbus and I am a masters prepared RN, mother, educator, and NFP user and believer! As someone who practices what I teach I truly believe it is an honor to walk with women and couples on their fertility journey. I teach at Bella, an OBGYN and fertility clinic, where our mission is to make our patients whole by providing individualized, dignified healthcare. Part of that mission includes providing ways to help you recognize and appreciate your innate dignity and love the way you were created. I also have access to a NAPRO certified OBGYN whom I work with daily to consult on difficult situations. I aim to give you the charting tools to feel confident, competent, and have clarity in identifying your fertile window.
Whether your intention is to achieve or avoid pregnancy, the method I teach, Marquette, has a 98% effectiveness rate, giving you the confidence you need to navigate your family planning. I have many options for lessons: marriage prep couples, postpartum mamas, and individuals looking to learn about their cycles! This includes an option for a self-paced online course where you learn on your own time and follow up as needed. We also offer group and individual online and in-person sessions. I look forward to walking this journey with you!
