Meet Lydia

Certified Fertility Awareness Educator & Creator of Altogether Beautiful

Hey girl, hey! I’m a wife and mama, FA/NFP enthusiast, health coach, and believer in your God-given feminine genius. I absolutely love coaching women like you towards a better understanding of the power of female fertility, and a love of authentic femininity.

I’ve struggled with hormone imbalance and cycle problems since puberty. Fertility awareness has given me the knowledge and confidence to listen to my body, to work towards health, and to advocate for the treatment that’s best for me. It’s also empowered me and my husband to plan our family without being enslaved to hormonal birth control methods and all the negative side-effects they bring with them. And I want that for you, too.

I’m here because it’s my passion to give women the tools they need to confidently say no to the Pill, take charge of their fertility, and use their body knowledge to pursue better health. Your body is amazing, and your femininity is a gift! Let’s discover it together, friend.

Empowering women is my happy place.

“Lydia is a wonderful and dedicated tutor! One can really tell that she is passionate about teaching FEMM. I came into this course totally blank about hormones! Now I can even read charts! I feel so empowered! The teaching was so personalized and engaging. Lydia provides so much information that is accessible, and easy to understand. You definitely won’t feel left out – whether you have regular, irregular cycles or you’re postpartum! FEMM is also a brilliant starting point if you want to understand your hormones in depth, track your cycles and notice anything of concern. Plus, Lydia illustrated the intricacies of FEMM so well! She is definitely here for you.”

FAQs

Is this course only for women, or is it ok if my spouse or fiancé joins with me?

This course is perfect for either couples or women – single, married, or engaged. While the majority of the course material is directed to women, it can be very helpful for their partners to develop a deeper understanding of the female body and cycle. This is true especially for engaged or married couples who would like to learn family planning protocols.

What’s your refund policy – can I get my money back if I don’t think Cycle Genius is right for me?

I absolutely want you to be completely happy with the Cycle Genius course! But I understand that sometimes things don’t work out how we envision they will. If you’re unsatisfied for any reason, you can receive a full refund within 14 days. Please email me at hello@altogetherbeautiful.net. If you’re hesitant about purchasing the course, I highly encourage you to schedule a free video chat with me to discuss the FEMM program and the Cycle Genius course in greater detail!

Is the FEMM method considered NFP?

FEMM is a method of natural family planning (NFP), also known as a fertility awareness-based method (FABM). If you’re Catholic and looking for a method that respects your moral obligations to the Church’s teaching on contraception, FEMM is a great option. You can read more on the FEMM Method FAQs page.

I have irregular cycles. Can I still use the FEMM method for family planning?

Yes, FEMM’s family planning protocols can be used if you have cycle irregularities – but you should know that irregular cycles are a red flag, often indicating hormonal imbalance or other problems. The beauty of the FEMM method is that it teaches you the parameters of a healthy cycle, so that you and your instructor can determine if something is amiss – and then get the help you need to get back to better health. So the goal is to first restore your cycles to regularity, and then to reach your family planning goals. If you’re hoping to avoid pregnancy naturally, then this is especially important. [On a personal note, I’ve totally been there with years of irregular cycles while trying to space my children – I have lots of insights (and sympathy) if you’re in that boat, my friend. Let’s get you healthy so that family planning is less dread and more fun 😉 ]

You were created as a woman on purpose, for a purpose.

St. Catherine of Siena once said: “Be who God created you to be, and you’ll set the world on fire.” I believe in your potential to change the world! It all begins with understanding and embracing the gift of your femininity, written into your body, mind, and soul. Fertility awareness lets you tap into that gift in a powerful way.
