Iβve been honored over 10 years by the privilege of sharing this intimate part of peopleβs lives, with a small share in their concerns, hopes, joys and sorrows. I have extensive experience assisting women through the postpartum transition into regular cycles and have charted this for myself three times. Iβm noting the very early signs of perimenopause in my charts. A new adventure! With a keen interest in femtech, my husband calls me the Borg Queen with all my wearables. Iβm focused on body literacy and will gladly teach teens - with parental approval - about cycles/menstruation, but I do save the family planning aspect for adults. I have three young children, am the president of a local library non-profit, and admin several fertility awareness support groups on Facebook. I run a little cottage βmissionβ supplying femtech charting supplies to women/couples in need.
Iβve been in the military (army) and in music theater (amateur.) I've worked in restaurants, schools and offices, and traveled around the world. I studied music, then Asian studies, then social science, then theology. I was writing a Masters on the application of Theology of the Body to pregnancy and childbirth, but having two children under two put that thesis on hold and I've not taken it back up! I've been Catholic, pagan, agnostic, atheist, and back to Catholic, finally finding my home in the Church as a Lay Dominican. I'm an Australian in the USA where New England winters give me the blues.
