It is an incredibly rewarding career add on that allows you to guide both menstruators, individuals and couples towards taking charge of their own reproductive health with natural and holistic methods.

As teachers of fertility awareness, you have the power to change lives. Enabling individuals to connect with their bodies, understand their menstrual cycles, and embrace their natural cyclical rhythms.

If you’re interested in becoming a Natural Contraception and Fertility Awareness teacher, here are 4 steps to take to get started.

1. 1. Educate Yourself
      The first step in becoming a Natural Contraception and Fertility Awareness teacher is education. To fully be able to support others in this area of women’s health it’s essential to have a deep understanding of the female reproductive system, including ovulation, menstruation, and the many different methods of contraception available.
      

      Still today there are only a handful of ways to gain real and effective natural contraceptive and fertility knowledge. Exploring workshops, reading books, listening to podcasts, attending conferences or working one on one with a fertility coach for yourself is a wonderful way to gain self knowledge.

   2. Get Certified
      Once you have a solid grounding understanding of the topic for yourself and your own body, the next step is to get certified, taking your knowledge to a new level of application and support for others. There still aren’t many educational institutions educating on this topic in a way that works for the average person, so we created one here at Cyclical School and for good reason. We know that getting certified not only gives you the credentials to teach others, but it also helps you stay up-to-date on the latest research and techniques in the field.
      
      
   3. Share your Knowledge
      Once you’re certified, it’s time to start sharing your new fertility wisdom and whether starting or expanding your business service offerings. This can be a fun and exciting part of the process, as you get to put your creativity and marketing skills to work. Another important step in building your business is networking. Attending events, joining online women’s groups, connecting on social media and personally embodying a natural contraceptive method that best suits you and your cycle goals.
