COMMON QUESTIONS - BIRTH CONTROL

Can you work with me if I'm on birth control?

This is the question I get asked very often, and the answer is well, yes and no. It’s a bit nuanced. Here’s a pill (hehe, get it?) that can be a bit hard to swallow for some: if you are on any sort of hormonal birth control that adds synthetic hormones into your system (with a very small amount of potential exceptions), it is impossible to balance your hormones. Anyone who says different is not giving you the full picture. The reality is that birth control essentially shuts down hormone production, so working on achieving harmony hormonally isn’t a reality, because there just aren’t the proper natural hormones to balance. While I am not an advocate for hormonal birth control in most cases, I believe that everyone has the right to make decisions that they feel are best for their body. So, if you know the facts and have done the research, and still feel like hormonal birth control is the right option for you, that is your decision and I support you in that. However, it will not be possible for me to help you balance your hormones while on it. That being said, there are several “foundations” to wellness, and I would be happy to discuss these pillars with you to help achieve as much wellness as possible while on HBC. If you decide to get off of it at any point, I would love to help you with that transition and restore your body’s natural rhythm. See below.

I’m wanting to get off birth control. Can you help me in that transition? I’m terrified to get pregnant or that my symptoms will come back with a vengeance!

I started hormonal birth control at the age of 14 and stayed on it until I was 20. When I began researching its potential impacts on my body, I made the decision to stop cold turkey (fortunately, hormonal birth control is one of the few pharmaceuticals you can do this with safely). From there, I dedicated myself to restoring balance within my body through intentional lifestyle changes, nutrition, and targeted wellness strategies. Through this approach, I successfully brought my body back into harmony, and was able to conceive both of my children exactly when I wanted to.

Through my work, I often hear two major fears from those considering coming off birth control -

Fear of unintended pregnancy – Many worry they will become pregnant immediately upon stopping birth control, even if they’re not ready.

2. Fear of returning symptoms – A lot of women fear that the very issues they initially sought to manage with birth control will come back and disrupt their lives once again.

While I completely understand these concerns, let me reassure you - they don’t have to be your reality. It is entirely possible to avoid pregnancy naturally without hormonal birth control, and I love guiding clients through the process of understanding their cycle to achieve or prevent pregnancy with ease and confidence. I truly believe that learning to work with your cycle rather than against it is the ultimate form of empowerment, and is the key to deepening your connection to your body, intuition, and womb in ways you never thought possible. When it comes to recurring symptoms, it’s important to recognize that hormonal birth control was never the solution -I t was simply a temporary band-aid that masked the underlying issue. If symptoms return after discontinuation, my goal is to help you uncover and address the root cause - leading to real, lasting healing and overall wellness. True balance comes from within, and with the right support, you can overcome the challenges that led you to birth control in the first place. If you’re considering transitioning off hormonal birth control, I recommend reaching out 2-3 months in advance so we can prepare your body for a smooth and supported transition. Together, we’ll create a plan to help your body thrive - naturally and holistically.

My doctor told me to just get on birth control for my symptoms. What do you think about that?

As a holistic fertility educator, supporting individuals and couples on their journey to conception - physically, emotionally, and spiritually - is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my work. There is truly no greater joy than helping couples achieve a healthy pregnancy and guiding them through the beautiful process of preparing to bring life into the world.

My approach focuses on optimizing fertility for both partners. I provide tailored guidance on lifestyle and nutrition to support hormonal balance and ensure optimal sperm quality. Additionally, I facilitate meaningful connection-building activities to help couples align with their fertility journey and create a welcoming space for their future baby.

If you’re considering working with me to prepare your body for conception, I recommend reaching out 3-5 months before you plan to start trying. However, if you’re already on your journey, I’m here to meet you where you are and provide the guidance you need.

COMMON QUESTIONS - FERTILITY & PREGNANCY

Can you work with me if I'm trying to conceive (TTC)?

Let’s embark on this journey together and make your dream of parenthood a reality!

Can you work with me if I'm pregnant?

With a background in holistic birthwork, it is my greatest honor to support you in achieving optimal wellness during your pregnancy. My goal is to help you feel your best - physically, emotionally, and spiritually - so you are fully prepared for a beautiful birth experience and a smooth transition into postpartum and parenthood.

I truly believe that pregnancy is one of the most sacred and transformative times in a woman’s life, and that it is the pinnacle of her existence. It’s a journey that deserves to be honored with care, nourishment, and unconditional empowerment. My mission is to help you feel radiant, healthy, and deeply supported throughout this incredibly important and meaningful yet vulnerable season.

And, of course, I absolutely love receiving adorable baby pictures when all is said and done… so it’s a win for both of us!

Can you work with me postpartum?

Why yes I can! Similar to pregnancy, postpartum is a time in a woman’s life where she needs to be held the most. If you are local to northern CO, it would be my honor to bring you nourishing, home-cooked meals, and hold space for wherever you are at in your postpartum journey. Postpartum is raw, hard, beautiful, nourishing, depleting, and everything in between. It will quite literally crack you open and a new woman - a mother - will emerge. To walk alongside you on that path is the purpose of my work.

COMMON QUESTIONS - MISC

How long until I see results?

This is entirely bio-individual and person dependent, but I will say this… not overnight. Just as dysfunction within the body is made from a long line of choices and decisions and changes, wellness is too. You cannot fix years and years and years of poor health decisions in one week. It always takes a decent amount of time to achieve something properly, but once you do, it will be worth it.

What is a Divine Feminine Embodiment Guide, and how can embodying the Divine Feminine help my life?

A Divine Feminine Embodiment Guide is someone who walks beside you as you remember how to feel again -deeply, fully, without shame. I guide you back into your body, your emotions, your intuition, and your rhythm. It’s a journey of shedding performance and self-abandonment and returning to what is real, slow, sacred, and yours.

The Divine Feminine isn’t just a “woman thing.” It lives in everyone - regardless of gender. Even Brad, even your sons, even you. It’s not about flowing dresses, barefoot bread-making, or looking a certain way. It’s about how you live.

To embody the Divine Feminine is to stop pushing yourself to the edge of burnout. It’s choosing slowness over hustle, intuition over overthinking, and pleasure over punishment. It’s about embracing your emotions as wisdom, softening into your nervous system, and honoring your truth without apology.

It’s also about living cyclically - learning to align your life with the natural rhythms of your body, your hormones, the moon, the earth. This work reconnects people to the deep intelligence of the menstrual cycle and the healing power held in your the space. Through this lens, one’s body becomes a compass, a messenger, a friend - not a problem to fix. Whether you’re bleeding, pregnant, postpartum, perimenopausal, or have had a hysterectomy - your body still speaks in sacred rhythm.

This work doesn’t just change how you feel.

It transforms your relationships, your health, your purpose, and your power.

It’s not a trend. It’s an awakening.

What is Sacred Sexuality and how do you help with this?

Sacred sexuality is the remembrance that your sexuality is not separate from your spirituality. It is holy. It is powerful. And it is yours - no matter your history, your desires, or where you are on your healing path.

Sacred sexuality is not about performance, pressure, or being “sexy” in a certain way. It’s about reclaiming your right to feel deeply, to want unapologetically, to receive fully, and to experience intimacy in a way that feels nourishing to your soul and safe in your body.

In my work, I help you explore the places where shame, trauma, conditioning, or disconnection may have blocked your connection to your sensual self. We untangle the stories that told you to be small, numb, silent, or only sexual for someone else’s pleasure. Together, we reawaken your body as a sacred space - through womb healing, nervous system work, emotional release, and pleasure reclamation.

This isn’t just about sex, in fact, comically enough, the sex itself isn’t the main character at all. It’s about learning how to feel again. How to say yes. How to say no. How to soften into receiving. How to trust your body’s wisdom. How to be fully present and fully alive in your skin.

Whether you’re healing from sexual trauma, reconnecting to your body after birth or loss, or simply desiring a more sacred, empowered relationship with yourself or your partner- this work is about returning home to your pure, divine sexual essence.
