My name is Suvi Lehtilä. I am a fertility awareness educator (FAE) and a holistic reproductive health practitioner (HRHP) trained by Justisse College International and with further training as an instructor of the Sensiplan method. I teach fertility awareness and menstrual cycle charting (Justisse and Sensiplan methods) and provide counselling on issues related to reproductive health, fertility and birth control. I also work as a faculty member at Justisse College International, training new FAEs. I am based in Finland but all services are available online via Zoom.
Fertility awareness can be used to prevent pregnancy, increase the chances of conception, and monitor reproductive health. The methods I teach are symptothermal methods based on observing and charting cervical fluid and basal body temperature with the optional sign of cervix changes. The Justisse Method is a standardized system for learning fertility awareness in a way that allows you to manage your reproductive health as well as your birth control needs. The Justisse Method is a single-check method which means that to be used for birth control it requires some time to learn and you need to develop a certain degree of body literacy before you can trust your cervical mucus interpretations. The Justisse Method can also be used as a mucus-only method. Sensiplan is a symptothermal method designed specifically as a highly reliable and easy-to-learn method of natural birth control. As a double-check method, Sensiplan can be taught in a family short time and requires less body literacy to be used effectively for birth control.
Fertility awareness based methods can be effective (between 95-99.6% with perfect use depending on the method), side-effect-free, low-cost methods of birth control but need to be learned thoroughly and practiced consistently. All fertility awareness based methods are highly unforgiving with imperfect use. Working with a qualified instructor can help you get the most out of your fertility awareness practice and achieve your goals whether you are avoiding pregnancy, planning pregnancy, monitoring your return to fertility after childbirth or coming off hormonal contraceptives, or struggling with issues such as irregular cycles, painful periods, PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility or symptoms related to menopause.
My services:
LEARN FERTILITY AWARENESS (JUSTISSE METHOD) 650 €
During this six-month-long course we meet one-on-one for one introductory session (2h) and six follow-up sessions (1h). The introductory session introduces you to female and male reproductive anatomy and physiology, the female reproductive cycle, and the basics of menstrual cycle charting. The Justisse method can be tailored to your needs whether you wish to monitor your reproductive and overall health, avoid pregnancy or achieve pregnancy. Follow-up sessions include your questions and concerns about the method and how you plan to use it, instruction on the correct use of the observational techniques and interpretation of your chart, and your individual sexual and reproductive health management. Follow-up sessions also include counselling and suggestions for preventive care, symptom relief, and optimum health.
The price of the course includes charting materials but extra shipping costs will be added for clients living outside Finland. You can also opt to purchase the materials yourself in which case material costs (30€) will be deducted from the price. You can choose to pay the course in full when signing up or opt to pay in installments.
LEARN FERTILITY AWARENESS (SENSIPLAN METHOD) 420 €
During one introductory session (1,5 h) and four individual sessions (75 min) you will learn to chart your cycle and use the Sensiplan method correctly and consistently as a natural method of birth control. The first four sessions will take place during a three-month time period and the fifth after approximately six charted cycles. Additional sessions are available at a separate cost if you feel you need more support.
To attend this course you will need the Sensiplan workbook and a basal body thermometer. Getting the Sensiplan textbook is recommended but optional. You will get links to buy the books when you sign up.
Please note that this course only includes teaching and counselling in the basic use of the Sensiplan method. If you need counselling concerning your menstrual cycle health, you can book separate sessions (75€/1h) to get support in holistic reproductive health management.
