Planning For Life

For anyone who wants to learn how to avoid pregnancy naturally

Maybe you've tried hormonal birth control and you did not like the side effects.

Maybe you're religiously opposed to using contraception.

Or maybe you know how important it is to cycle the way the body was designed to and you don't want hormonal birth control to interfere.

No matter your reason, in this course, you will learn how to Avoid Pregnancy Naturally with a method of family planning that is up to 99.6% effective.

Welcome to The Avoiding Pregnancy Way

The online, on-demand course designed to help you thrive with optimal reproductive health while avoiding pregnancy.

Your body is always communicating with you.

It tells you exactly which days of your cycle you're fertile and when you're not. Hint: Getting pregnant is impossible throughout the majority of your cycle.

And you can use this information to reach your fertility goals today, tomorrow, and years down the road.

The problem is, most of us have never been taught how to speak the body's language.

BUT THAT CHANGES TODAY.

Concise enough to work through in one evening but thorough enough to blow your mind, this course will guide you through everything your body has been telling you.

Evaluate and optimize cycle health while avoiding pregnancy naturally, this information will change your life as you navigate your reproductive years like a pro.

"I feel confident that my husband and I now have the tools to be aware of our fertility and to navigate all the hormone cycles I go through each month in order to prevent pregnancy."

Bailey H, 2022 Student

"This course showed me that there is a lot more to a woman's body than to just have babies and helped me discover just how amazing our bodies were created so we could live a full life in health."

99.6% EFFECTIVENESS

You can feel confident that you're empowering yourself with a highly effective method of family planning

  • Demineralization of bones
  • Depression
  • Nausea, headaches, breast tenderness
  • Fatique
  • Irritability and intense mood swings
  • Decreased libido
  • Weight gain
  • And more


By choosing a knowledge-based fertility awareness approach for your family planning, you lower your risk of severe complications and allow your body to function the way it was perfectly created to.

Let's do this.

This course has been so helpful to me! After really struggling with the side effects of birth control, this course has given me the knowledge to be confident in avoiding pregnancy naturally. And having the language and charts tracking my cycle has given me the knowledge to describe what I'm experiencing to my doctor and get the additional care that I need. Also, Kami is incredible! Such a great teacher. So thoughtful, sensitive, and beyond ready and willing to help!

FAQ

  • I don't think I ever want kids. Should I still invest in my reproductive health?

    YES! Your reproductive health matters for so many reasons beyond making babies. It affects several aspects of your life. Your body, mind, and emotions will only benefit from optimizing your cycles and hormones. And we spend lots of time talking about how to use this knowledge to avoid pregnancy effectively.

  • I'm avoiding pregnancy for now but I want to have kids in the near future. Is this course for me?

    This course will be great prep for having a baby, but you may want to check out my other course, "Preparing, Planning, and Hoping for Life: The Fertility Way" which covers both avoiding AND achieving pregnancy to get the most out of it.

  • Does this method work even if I have irregular cycles?

    You bet it does! And in fact, it's even more important for women with irregular cycles to understand their bodies, decode their fertility biomarkers, and optimize their reproductive health. This course covers all of that.

  • I'm pregnant. Does it make sense to take this course now?

    Yes! As you enter into your third trimester your provider will start asking how you plan to prevent pregnancy postpartum. This course is perfect to take near the end of your pregnancy so you're prepared to prevent pregnancy naturally. The special bonus lesson over fertility while breastfeeding will be especially helpful and you will have access to the course for 2 full years after you purchase it.

  • How many days each cycle can a woman get pregnant?

    You can only get pregnant 5-6 days out of each cycle. For most women, this means we factor in an 8-10 day fertile window each month where abstaining from unprotected intercourse is recommended when trying to avoid pregnancy.

  • Can I take this course even if I'm on hormonal birth control?

    Of course! However, it's important to know that birth control shuts down ovulation so you won't be able to chart your cycle. You will get the most out of the course when you're ready to quit birth control, but if you want to take the course first, that is absolutely your choice.

  • How long will I have access to the course materials?

    You will have access for two full years.

Are you ready to jump in?

Your body, mind, and emotions will thank you.
