To acknowledge the reality of diverse levels of economic access, I offer equitable pricing at three price points for folks to join Inner Rhythms.
Perspective on pricing: This group offering is intended to be a way that folks can access a comprehensive introductory offering of FAM at a fraction of the full one-on-one mentorship package.
Does this describe you?
If you are a cycling person and any of these pertain to you, then this course is for you!
✔️ I want to transition away from hormonal contraceptives and am looking for a natural and holistic method for birth control.
✔️ I want to get pregnant and increase my chances of conception using an inexpensive and holistic tool.
✔️ I am curious about using FAM because I’ve done my own self-study, or I’ve read Taking Charge of Your Fertility, but don’t know exactly how to start charting.
✔️ I have painful periods and/or PMS want to get to the root cause.
✔️ I have a diagnosis of PMDD, PCOS, hypothyroidism, endometriosis, or another cycle/hormone imbalance and don’t want to use synthetic hormones as treatment.
✔️ I desire a deeper understanding of how my menstrual cycle and hormones work so I can be more in sync and connected to my body.
✔️ I love learning in group settings and learning FAM with other folks would be supportive to my learning process.

Meet the course facilitator:
Hi, I’m Christine –
I’m a Certified Clinical Herbalist & Holistic Nutritionist, Fertility Awareness Method Practitioner, birthworker, body literacy educator, mother, and partner.
I believe that healing is multi-dimensional and that our bodies will innately move towards wholeness and vitality when given the right conditions. I take a whole-systems approach to health, which recognizes that the body is an interconnected ecosystem and that our individual healing also heals the collective.
I mentored under Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, FAE, HRHP, the author of The Fifth Vital Sign, and learned to use the Symptothermal Method of Fertility Awareness within a clinical context.
At the heart of my work is herbal medicine and the Fertility Awareness Method. I believe that using FAM with the support of plant medicine can help us nurture a relationship with our fertility and sexuality, both of which are vital to our health, well-being, and creative potential.
I have a deep commitment to serving my AAPI kin, the BIPGM (Black, Indigenous, and People of the Global Majority) community, gender-expansive folks, and people working in social and environmental movement work.
