A little real talk… Authenticity is one of my core values. So I want to share this honestly: I am so stoked that I’ve found my lane with weekend-based women’s retreats in the US. They feel aligned & effective in a short amount of time. But also… there’s been something on my heart...

Still kind of speechless over here.
Breathe & Breeze Women's Weekend Yoga & Mindfulness Retreat in Oregon is officially SOLD OUT!

I’m so deeply grateful to every woman who trusted this space and said yes. Watching this retreat fill has been emotional in the best way — a reminder of why I do this and how powerful it is when women choose rest, presence, and themselves.

If you were hoping for Oregon and missed it, there are still spots for Costa Rica 🇨🇷
I’m hosting "Find Your Center" in Guanacaste, with special ecstatic dance & Cacao led by the wonderful Mariam Soto.

You can book a private cabina with a friend for just over $2,000 each, and we’ll be spending our days moving, slowing down, being in nature, and actually unplugging.

If Costa Rica has been on your heart, I’d love to have you there.

In other news, this 4 hour bus ride on Day 1 of my cycle may be the death of me…

Let’s talk about it👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌺 FAM is what I teach - as effective as The Pill, uses bio markers such as cervical fluid and bbt to pinpoint day to day fertility. Works with irregular cycles, breastfeeding, PCOS, & more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📆 The Calendar Method (or the rhythm method) - uses previous months menstruation to “assume” day of ovulation x amount of days after your period (typically cycle day 15). This method does not take real time fertility into account. This method is what most OBGYN offices assume you’re talking about if you mention FAM.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📲 Period Apps - uses algorithms. Your body is not a computer, & is more intelligent than any algorithm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✝️ Natural Family Planning - was created and based on the Catholic Church so tends to be based on an abstinence model with little women empowerment.

Ready to learn FAM & prevent pregnancy effectively which creating a relationship with mind, body + spirit?

My new course platform drops soon. Feel free to set up a free discovery call with the link in bio to get started! ✨🦋

Lack of education around women’s cycles and hormones is SO common! You are not alone!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why? Could be a combination of things - hormonal birth control preventing ovulation, lack of funding for s*x education in schools, lack of generational knowledge so passing down this info is non existent, big pharma profiting off of lack of body autonomy - the list goes on!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨What can you do to take your power back?✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Learn the Fertility Awareness Method & learn how to identify your fertility and ovulation! This information can break generational cycles and you can be the one to pass this life changing information down to your daughters and granddaughters & help change this disheartening statistic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Why is it important to identify a clear ovulatory pattern?✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are a few reasons! Ovulation is a sign of a healthy cycle - it confirms your hormones and body are working how they’re supposed to! For birth control purposes, identifying ovulation and your fertile window allows you to avoid unprotected in*******se during this time to avoid any surprises. To attain pregnancy, timing in*******se to align with ovulation increases your chance of getting pregnant.

Feeling irregularity in your cycles, mood & hormones?

These things can be impacting you 👇

1. Binge drinking often🍻

Excessive alcohol consumption is linked to lower estrogen levels in women. This could lead to anovulation (not ovulating).

2. Drinking coffee before breakfast☕️

This can spike blood sugar & cortisol, increasing SHBG which can in turn dump excess estrogen into your system.

3. Running everyday🏃🏻‍♀️

Your body needs different exercise depending on where it’s at in your cycle! Running in your late luteal and menstrual phase when the body needs rest can put your body into fight or flight mode and spike cortisol, in turn impacting hormones. Can also potentially lead to amenorrhea

4. Not prioritizing sleep😴

Your body needs rest! Keep cortisol levels in check, give your body the time to rejuvenate.

5. Taking Plan B or Queen Anne’s Lace often💊

These “morning after” supplements impact your hormones! While taking them every once in a while in emergencies are most likely OK, taking them regularly can impact hormone regulation, especially progesterone levels.

6. Over scheduling yourself📆

Similar to #3, there are certain times in your cycle where you could thrive on busy schedules (ovulation). However, if you’re constantly over booked throughout your entire cycle - your body will not only reach burnout, but will also be lacking the necessary rest during your late luteal and menstrual phase.

30% OFF TEMPDROP THRU JAN 14 with code AFIVYWILD —

Let’s talk basal body temperature (BBT) 🌡️✨
Your BBT is the lowest body temp your body hits at rest and tracking it daily is a great tool when using the fertility awareness (whether your goal is conception or natural birth control).

The thing is… it can be tricky to get accurate readings with a standard thermometer (you need the same time every morning, uninterrupted sleep, etc). That’s where comes in. 🙌 You wear it overnight, and it takes the guesswork out of BBT tracking so you don’t have to wake up at the same time every morning.

I used to wear it religiously & highly recommend if you’d like an extra bio marker apart from just tracking mucus. Use my code AFIVYWILD for 30% OFF now thru Jan 14!! 💕

Merry Christmas from my heart to yours. & a prosperous 2026 ahead. Hoping today is filled with joy & peace, whatever that may look like this year for you. ❤️🌟
