Hi, I’m Mary! I’m a women’s health educator, certified Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) instructor, and a total cycle nerd who’s been charting my own cycles for over a decade.
After ditching hormonal birth control in my mid-20s and realizing how little I actually knew about my body, I dove head-first into the science of natural fertility tracking. What started as a personal experiment turned into a full-on passion: helping women reclaim their cycles, conceive confidently, or avoid pregnancy without side effects.
When I’m not geeking out over cervical mucus patterns or BBT charts, you’ll find me sipping herbal tea, tending my (slightly chaotic) houseplant jungle, or walking my rescue dog with a podcast in my ears. I believe knowledge is power, and understanding your cycle is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself.
Thanks for being here — let’s decode your body together! 🌿
