Fertility Awareness Method for Natural Birth Control, Natural Conception, and Body Literacy. Colleen Flowers loves teaching individuals and couples about their reproductive health and fertility from a natural & holistic perspective!
Did you know Flowers Fertility, LLC is on Facebook? I think it’s really fun to interact with like-minded women both locally, nationally, and globally about charting cycles using the Fertility Awareness Method!
Today I got my 99th like… who wants to be that special 100?!?
Yay! The iPhone app, Kindara, that uses the Fertility Awareness Method is getting great press here in Denver, Colorado on FOX31 News. I’m thrilled to see a media piece that gives such a positive and accurate report :)
"Naturally Savvy sets ‘Always Infinity’ pad and ‘Natracare 100% organic cotton’ pad on fire. See what happens when they are compared side-by-side."
After watching this I realized again how thankful I was that years ago I switched to cloth pads like Lunapads and Reddy’s, menstrual cups like the Keeper and the non-latex DivaCup, and tampons from Natracare when I have my period.
If you experience any irritation during your period or want to leave a smaller footprint on the Earth, you may want to consider switching to natural (usually reusable) menstrual products.
WHAT: “Avoiding Pregnancy without Hormones or Devices" Class
WHEN: Saturday, June 1 at 9:30am
WHERE: Blossom Wellness Center
WHO: Ladies & Couples who want high effectiveness with no side-effects
HOW: Call 303-954-9399 to register by Thursday, May 30
While there are many, very “important" uses for charting your cycle using the Fertility Awareness Method such as avoiding pregnancy or achieving pregnancy, it can also be as simple as, “I know when to expect my period!"
This can bring quite a feeling of freedom. No longer will you wonder, “Oh, is that my period?!?" and then a few days later “Oh, wait, is this my period?" If you chart your cycle, you’ll know about 2 weeks beforehand when your period will start, and then usually you’ll know the morning of the day it will start. Pretty cool, huh?
Knowledge is Power! (Or at least knowledge won’t leave you high & dry without a pad/tampon/menstrual cup when you most need it…)
Want to get knocked up?
Register for the next Holistic Fertility class happening this Thursday, May 16 at 6pm. It’s $50/person or $60 for your non-charting partner to attend. Call 303-954-9399 to register… hope to see you there :)
I’m currently in the middle of my 100th Fertility Awareness Method chart… pretty cool, huh? So that means for over 6 years I’ve avoided getting pregnant without any synthetic hormones and their lovely side-effects!
The American Academy of Family Physicians lists the “non-serious" side-effects (but may include more):
So what can be the “serious" side-effects be according the FDA?
On Saturday, June 1st I’ll be teaching a class about how to avoid getting pregnant naturally… sign up at Blossom Wellness Center and you could be well on your way to your 100th Fertility Awareness Method chart too!
By and large, western medicine says that the position of the uterus is irrelevant. Those in the holistic world would tend to disagree with that statement. (In the images above, she’s resting on her back.) These are the positions of the uterus:
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy teaches practitioners to gently lift and guide the uterus into the best space for it in your body through massage. This then creates optimal blood and lymph flow and can help with these conditions:

We had a lot of fun in my “Natural Birth Control using the Fertility Awareness Method" class last night. Two of those in attendance included a Registered Nurse and a Student Nurse Midwife… they LOVED the class (and said they learned so much!) :)
Usually learning about the cervix and the different types of cervical fluid it makes is what most women find to be the most fascinating information of the class. I don’t discuss ALL the various types of cervical fluid and their individual functions as is described here (information overload!), but we do cover the basics. And the basics are mind blowing!
