You thought you were being responsible by being on hormonal birth control.
But now your body is telling you it’s time for change.
Maybe you thought it was the only way to avoid pregnancy naturally or deal with your health condition (like PCOS, acne, endometriosis, fibroids, irregular cycles, extreme pain, etc.).
I know what it's like to be on birth control thinking it was helpful and supportive, to suddenly realizing it isn't.
Check out these case studies below. You'll see you're not alone!

Lisa's Story: From Dr.'s Telling Her she Entered Early Menopause to Getting Her Cycle Back within 1 Month of Herbs
Vy's Story: From "10+ yrs of hormonal birth control to meeting my menstrual cycle for the first time."
My name's Veronica and I used to have complete disregard for my body.
Â
I didn't make the connection at the time, but being cut-off from my menstrual cycle allowed me to be disconnected from myself.
I was unhappy, lost, and health issues were popping up.Â
I was on every type of birth control you can think of for 10 years!
Towards the end, my body started giving me signs that I couldn’t ignore anymore.
I’d been having sharp, shooting pain for two years that was getting worse.Â
I knew it was time for a change and made the choice to stop birth control, even though I didn't know what my next steps would be.Â
As fate would have it, because I promised myself that I would find a better way, the road rose up to meet me and I serendipitously stumbled upon an article, and learned that natural birth control was a thing. What?!
I couldn't wait to get my IUD removed at my upcoming appointment and was so excited to tell my doctor how I'd now be using the SymptoThermal method for birth control! I thought she would be proud, lol.Â
I told my OBGYN about the pain and that I was ready to get my IUD removed, and that, no, I didn't want to try a new type of birth control.Â
I was totally blind-sided by my doctor's reaction. She couldn’t have been less supportive about my choice to get off birth control and begrudgingly set up my IUD removal appointment.
When I went to get my IUD removed, she was unable to locate it—my IUD had dislodged from my uterine wall. I remember telling her, “See, I told you something was wrong!”
My rose colored glasses were taken off at this moment, and I'm grateful for it. It helped me know that I'm the best, most qualified person to take care of and manage my own fertility.
My ticket to meeting the new version of myself was fertility education and self-awareness. There was no fear, only excitement and curiosity as I began, for the first time discovering how miraculous my female body was.
Being attuned to one's menstrual cycle, an inner compass, is a gift that I wish every woman could have, especially in today’s world, where it’s hard to know what’s true.Â
After getting my IUD removed in 2015, I was no longer unhappy and lost. I had my inner compass back.Â
I went to herb school to learn how to naturally get rid of my health issues that had emerged, and I loved it so much that fast forward several years, I ended up becoming a clinical herbalist, specializing in menstrual cycles and fertility.
It became clear really soon that my clients were just as illiterate about their menstrual cycle as I had been. So I took a 2-year training to teach fertility awareness method and sexual reproductive health at a professional level.Â
Which leads me here to you now.
You wouldn't have read this far if you didn’t know you needed to change something.
And although you may not find support for learning about the intricacies of your fertility at the doctor's office, you will find support here with me, and among the countless other women who have paved a path to a better life using the fertility awareness method.Â

It finally feels like putting all the puzzle pieces together.
There's a lot of shame and embarrassment surrounding periods, fluids, infections, etc. and it felt very nice to be in a space and talk openly about every aspect of a cycle without it being awkward or shameful and just a woman to woman real conversation about cycles and health."
- Sarah S., Student
I felt very validated after many years of being dismissed when I tried to share my charts looking for answers.
I felt understood holistically and not just in this one aspect of my health. I loved the herbalism that Veronica is able to bring into the discussions and felt hopeful after our sessions together. I also learned I had been drawing coverlines wrong which could have been impacting things in the past, but now I know how to do it correctly.
-Â Jenna T., Charting Client
It feels invaluable to have that 1:1 support, especially when first getting started or when you have suspicion of cycle / hormonal imbalance.Â
It's clear that this is something you really care about and we need that in women's health...people that are genuinely interested, concerned, and passionate about helping you become more body literate."

FAM in 4 Weeks Is For You
If You:
Mentality / Maturity
- Want to take more responsibility for your wellbeing
- Do not want to rely on an app to tell you if you're fertile or not. (I'll teach you how to chart on paper. Once you master that, then using the only app I recommend, Read Your Body, is a great way to store data and interpret your own charts)Â
- Recognize that only you can know yourself best, and one of the best ways for females to do this is through charting their cyclesÂ
- Are excited to begin a new lifestyle that has about a 3~ month learning curve. I'll be right there with you!
What are the program dates / times / logistics?
What happens after I sign up?
Do you have a refund policy?
How is learning with Veronica different than learning from a book, researching online, or learning from my favorite social media cycle syncing influencer?
Will I get 1:1 time with you?
Can I ask you questions?
What is the SymptoThermal Method of Fertility Awareness?
I was never on birth control but still want to formally learn about FAM with you. Can I join this program?
Is Fertility Awareness and the class you teach religious?
Can I still use the SymptoThermal Method if I don't have regular cycles?
I have PCOS, endometriosis, or thyroid conditions. Can charting help me?
FAM is newer to me and some of the topics can be uncomfortable to discuss, but Veronica always made me feel safe and helped me become comfortable using the SymptoThermal method. I’d highly recommend Veronica as an instructor!
- Jess B., Student
I felt able to share about my choices without any judgement being made and gained a better understanding of the mucus I was seeing with the use of better descriptive words. I felt very well cared for.Â
- Katie M., Charting Client
Even over Zoom, Veronica has a calming and present energy that put me at ease. Her care and concern for her clients is evident in the questions she asks, the details she picks up on, and the service she provides.Â
- Meg, Herbal Client
A decade of being on hormonal birth control myself, 4 years working at a herbal clinic (with reproductive issues of all sorts), and currently supporting women at a fertility clinic, I need to share the the harsh reality with you
Settling for the status quo of hormonal birth control is costing you. It’s costing you the opportunity to:
- learn about your body, get to know yourself, what you’re like as an adult woman, without a pharmaceutical messing with your personality, health, your desires and knowing who you are
- uncover a potential health concern because birth control, not always, but many times, covers things up so you may not know that your health needs attention
Right now, your desire is to avoid pregnancy. But your desire can flip like a switch. Will your body be up to speed with your new desire?
There is a real issue that comes from being on hormonal birth control for 10 years, to suddenly being 33 and wanting to conceive, only to realize something's off. The next step for you, per mainstream society, is to turn to your allopathic medical provider, who with the best of intentions, will open the floodgates of medical intervention, which will impact you emotionally, physically, mentally, and financially, and not in good ways.
But this is entirely preventable. You can skip the heartache, headache and physical and financial burdens of society’s status quo standard of care for you and your fertility.
You can choose better for current you and future you, whatever your reproductive desires may be, by mastering the SymptoThermal fertility awareness method.
SIGN ME UP!Take the leap! By next year, you could be:
- Free from hormonal birth controlÂ
- healthier and happier
- using your cycle as a source of inner guidanceÂ
