Hello beautiful women, and welcome. I’m Bailey—a Fertility Awareness Educator—and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
Whether you're looking to naturally and confidently avoid pregnancy, support your body in conceiving with ease, or finally understand the deeper rhythms of your cycle to address hormonal or menstrual imbalances, you're in the right place.
This isn’t just about charting. This is about reclaiming your body’s wisdom.
🌿 What Is Fertility Awareness?
Fertility Awareness, or Cycle Tracking, is a science-based and deeply intuitive method of reading your body’s daily signals—known as biomarkers—to understand where you are in your cycle. The core signs we observe are cervical fluid and basal body temperature, and secondary clues like mood, energy, appetite, libido, dreams, and more help complete the picture.
This is a sympto-thermal approach rooted in the method developed by Sarah Bly of The Well School of Body Literacy (similar to the Sensiplan Method and the method in Taking Charge of Your Fertility). I’m a proud graduate of The Well and will be guiding you through this transformational process with clarity, compassion, and care. As a disclaimer, my opinions and values are not necessarily a reflection of Sarah Bly or The Well, and vice versa.
🌕 Why This Work Matters
This is more than a method—it’s a reclamation. Fertility Awareness is a practice of tuning in: learning to understand and trust the language of your own body. As you begin to chart your cycle, you step into a deeper knowing of yourself—your rhythms, your fertility, your power.
Your menstrual cycle is a vital sign, rich with information about your physical, emotional, and energetic health. But beyond the data, this practice is about sovereignty—choosing to live in alignment with your body’s truth, free from external control or intervention if you so choose.
It’s a return to your inner authority, a remembrance of your cyclical nature, and a reconnection with the wisdom that has always lived within you.

Women in their cycling years (18+) who want to avoid or achieve pregnancy.
Women approaching their menopausal transition, i.e. women who are in “peri-menopause.”
This course is made for women who want to use the Cycle Mapping practice throughout their reproductive years as a full-spectrum, sovereign or collaborative tool for reproductive and sexual health. It is ideal for women who want a natural method of contraception, and for women planning a conscious conception.
The Cycle Mapping method taught in the Body Literacy course is a life-long tool and requires an initial commitment to learning but once learned, it only takes minutes a day. The cost of this course includes charts, as well as access to weekly live Q&A calls, up to 6 private sessions, and a community chat with other charters.
Completing the self-paced material is essential for beginning the charting practice, and therefore the private sessions. Private sessions will not be held with anyone who has not completed the self-paced material, and you may be required to forfeit your sessions and re-enroll in a future course.
In Module 1 we’ll answer the question, “What is Fertility Awareness?” by diving into the history of cycle tracking methods, and we’ll compare the Cycle Mapping method that you’ll learn with other methods that are available. We also delve into the cultural and collective myths you may have come across when exploring your interest in natural birth control.
In this module, you’ll dive deep into the facts about female and male reproductive anatomy, hormone physiology, and… basically… how and when sex makes babies. You’ll learn about different cycle variations that may present for different women or at different life-stages, the phases of the cycle, and the key terms necessary for developing your practice.
In Module 3 we will shift our focus to what you really want to learn. You’ll delve into the 3 primary bio-markers of fertility that we will be observing: cervical fluid, basal body temperature, and cervical changes. From there we’ll discuss factors that may affect all of those observations, and how to chart all of it.
In this module, it all comes together. You’ll get equipped with the rules for contraception, and the science that backs up the effectiveness of this method. We look at practice charts and discuss variations and exceptions to the norm. You’ll also learn about the key markers of fertility and how to optimize conception.
Well, I can’t make you do anything, but I strongly recommend getting private instruction since your body is unique, and most of us have health or cycle challenges to work through. Efficacy rates increase for those who work with an instructor. Sessions are included with your purchase of the course.
This course is designed to be self-paced, yet contained. Because this method requires a firm grasp on some pretty scientific topics and daily self-awareness practices, it is best to learn within a short timeframe. Completing a lesson here and a lesson there over the course of several months would be sub-optimal, and I want you to get it. For that reason, you’ll have one month to complete the pre-recorded lessons before you begin charting, and then we'll meet for our 1:1 sessions about a month after that. If you’re unable to complete the lessons by 30 days from your purchase, you’ll need to re-enroll.
Yep! All you need to do is press the slash key / to pull up the formatting menu. You can add images, files, embeds, bulleted and numbered lists, and other text styles directly into your FAQs.
In the event that you conceive before finishing your series of private sessions, and therefore are no longer cycling, your sessions can be redeemed in your postpartum time.
Absolutely! I think it’s best if he does. He is also welcome to join our private sessions if you and he are both comfortable with that. Out of respect for other students who are working through the course along side you, men will not be welcome to the group Q&A calls.
For our work together to be the most fruitful, I’d encourage removing any IUD before we begin our 1:1 sessions. You are encouraged to abstain from intercourse or use a barrier method while you’re learning FAM.
If you want to practice FAM, yes. Hormonal birth control suppresses and overrides your body’s natural hormone physiology, flatlining the changes that we observe and chart. If you plan to stop taking your HBC, you are encouraged to abstain from intercourse or use a barrier method while you’re learning FAM.
You bet. In fact, practicing fertility awareness method may give you insight into the upstream causes of your cycle pathology, and it is the only method of natural birth control that helps you determine your fertility each day, making it perfect for those with irregular cycles.
When used correctly and consistently, FAM can be up to 99.4% effective for preventing pregnancy. This requires learning and applying the rules accurately, as this is primarily a “user-led” method. Your choices are the most impactful factor!
You will only need a basal body thermometer, and either access to a printer or a digital charting app. I will make recommendations in the self-paced portion of the course and answer specific questions in the Q&A calls to help you find the option that works best for you. I advise you to purchase your thermometer of choice before completing the last module, so that it is there with you and ready to use once you’re set to begin your charting practice.
I cannot sing Bailey Jo’s praises enough. She is a gifted teacher and a loving guide. It’s evident to me that she is passionate and devoted to serving women. I went into the class slightly skeptical, knowing I wasn’t even sexually active but from the first workshop, I knew it was so much more than that. She taught me how to understand the language and rhythms of my own body, encouraged me to get to know and love myself on deeper levels, and decoded the foreign language of cycle charting! The information I learned during our time together is information I will use forever and will one day be able to pass on to my daughter. Highly recommend!
I was lucky enough to learn the Fertility Awareness Method from Bailey's Body Literacy series, so I now have the confidence to accurately track my cycle, but I gained so much more than this knowledge. I now feel way more connected to my body than I have ever felt. I was able to let go of the shame I felt about my body and what I used to think was gross, I now know is healthy and is necessary for creating life!
From taking Bailey's class and doing one-on-one sessions, it is so clear to see Bailey's passion and care for this work. I feel so grateful to Bailey because the gift she gave me of feeling more connected to my body can never be taken away from me.
As a FAM teacher and fertility coach, Bailey is exceptionally creative, articulate, and compassionate (not to mention very professional, organized, and consummately prepared). She understands the profound weight of the role she carries in women's lives, but does not allow them or herself to be bogged down by the heaviness of the stakes involved or detoured from their goals by anxiety -- she deftly navigates the intersection of physical, emotional, and spiritual with great emotional intelligence. She is the mentor every younger woman needs, and a powerful ally for any older woman. It is no understatement to say that she absolutely will change the life of everyone she works with.
Bailey's class was just what I needed! I had read about FAM years ago but was not confident in my chart and certainly too nervous to use my chart to interpret the data in any meaningful or helpful way. Her class laid a foundation that helped me learn to chart confidently and use the information appropriately. The follow ups were extremely insightful as well and helped me become even more confident in my charting capabilities. I highly recommend Bailey's class and 1:1 support if you are curious about charting or FAM -- you won't regret having the extra support!
