Hannah Fenner from The Body Bluprint is a certified Fertility Awareness Educator who fell into charting her cycle while experiencing a 4-year journey with infertility. She uncovered multiple hormonal issues, and was able to advocate for her health and conceive naturally.
She’s a fierce advocate for having access to uncensored and factual information to make informed choices about our health and wellbeing. Hannah helps women all around the world get back in touch with their unique body bluprint, embrace their bodies and the wisdom of their menstrual cycles to either fastrack their time to pregnancy or avoid pregnancy without the use of hormonal birth control.
One of my favourite things to do is talk to passionate women about the things that most light them up, and give them a place to talk about it! And for Hannah, that is the Fertility Awareness Method, or FAM method.
This conversation is illuminating, inspiring and hopefully informative if you are looking for some potential threads to follow in finding your most healthy self!
