I teach the Justisse Method of fertility awareness and cycle charting to people all over China and Asia who want to avoid pregnancy, are planning to conceive or are seeking a deeper understanding of how their bodies, menstrual cycles and fertility actually work.

I discovered fertility awareness in 2013 in a desperate search for a natural way to avoid pregnancy after experiencing a terrible reaction to the copper IUD, including cystic acne, hair loss, extreme bloating and pain. I also had really negative experiences when using the pill, such as depression, anxiety, recurrent mouth ulcers and cold sores, and myriad other nasty side effects.

After learning how to chart and gaining body literacy, my passion for reproductive health has grown and grown. I'm dedicated to spreading the word of fertility awareness far and wide so that more and more women and people with menstrual cycles know they have another choice when it comes to managing their fertility.

I am a student member of the Association of Fertility Awareness Professionals. I'm also currently training as a Maternal Support Practitioner (MSP) with Bebomia to become a fertility, birth and postpartum doula.

Originally from Ireland, I moved abroad in 2011 and have lived and worked in four Asian countries since then. I now reside in the mountains of Beijing, China with my husband.
