“I’ve been charting my cycles for several months and thought I had a pretty solid grasp of the fundamentals, until I met Amber! She provided a wealth of new information and knowledge that comes only with experience, deep education, and clear love of the subject matter.
I would highly recommend taking her class if you’re looking for natural & reliable birth control, to conceive, or interested in gaining more data/insights on how your amazing female body functions. Thank you Amber!”
Your instructor:
I’m Amber Hallet, a women's health educator and practitioner based in beautiful Seattle, Washington. My approach draws from the best of western science and traditional wisdom, and utilizes the latest research to provide trusty evidence-based care.
I am a Certified Fertility Awareness Method Educator, Certified Reproductive Health Educator, and a Certified Member of the International Association of Fertility Awareness Professionals. I have also studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, Maya Abdominal Therapy, Homebirth Midwifery, and been honored to attend well over 100 births. On a more personal note, I’m also a proud user of the symptothermal method of cycle tracking, and have a daughter who was conceived on the first time using cycle tracking for conception, after a decade of successful use for birth control.
I strongly believe that all women deserve to have the knowledge to gauge their hormonal health, to choose when (and when not) to conceive, and to take care of their bodies. With these tools, we can take responsibility for our health, enjoy side-effect-free birth control, and conceive with confidence and ease when we're ready.
“There are people who “know their stuff” and then there is Amber. When it comes to women’s health, fertility cycles, knowing your body, and feeling more grounded and empowered as a woman, you couldn’t have a better person on your team than Amber. She has taught me so much about how to look after my own reproductive health in a way that feels empowering rather than patronizing. She helped me totally reframe what is possible in terms of knowing my own cycle, birth control, family planning, and acting to take control of it without hormones, devices in my body, and so on. Her work in the world is such a service to all women, and I’m so grateful she was born.”
“Amber’s classes are incredible! She is chock full of information and breaks it down into bite sized chunks so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. Her charts, visuals and hands on activities make the content really sink in and I feel like I learned so much about my body and biology. I’d recommend this to any woman from pre-teen years on up!”

What if I've already read Taking Charge of Your Fertility? Great, you'll have an excellent foundation. Many of my students have read that book, and it's an incredible resource, but most of us learn best from an experienced teacher who we can connect with and relate to. It's also wildly different to have your hand held through a in-depth coaching program, to be able to ask questions, receive one-on-one attention, and go over your own charts with a professional, rather than to be left to slog through 560 pages of fascinating but dense information alone. With VERY high stakes. Many of my students come in having read Taking Charge, and leave my class having a much more grounded, simplified, effective and confident sense of their cycles and charting.
How effective is the Cycle (or Fertility) Awareness Method you teach? Extremely. As long as you choose to protect yourself when you're in your fertile window. There are many different forms of Cycle (or Fertility) Awareness. The one I teach is the symptothermal method. I teach rules that are similar to those found in Taking Charge of Your Fertility, but a bit more conservative and therefore more effective. The rules I teach are based on the exceedingly thorough study you can find online by Petra Frank-Herrmann and colleagues called "The effectiveness of a fertility awareness based method to avoid pregnancy in relation to a couple's sexual behaviour during the fertile time: a prospective longitudinal study." Check it out! It proves that the method has an efficacy rate of over 99%. If you want higher efficacy than The Pill, take this class!
Do I have to track a million things for this method to be accurate? No. This method depends upon tracking only two body signs—waking temperature and cervical fluid. You can pay attention to other signs, but the rules all pertain to these two signs exclusively. Do you find cervical fluid confusing? Not to worry! My hands on-demos (I promise to keep my pants on!) and thorough break down of the topic helps clarify and demystify our fluids once and for all . Having the method based only on two body signs keeps it simple and exceedingly effective.
Can I use an app for this? Yes. You are welcome to use an app to track. This class will encompass both paper charting as well as my top recommendation for a cycle tracking app and how to utilize it effectively. I want you to have solutions that work for you in the long run.
What if I want to learn Cycle Awareness to get pregnant? We've got you covered. Even though the main focus of this class will be utilizing your new found awareness for birth control, it will also cover all the essentials you need for easier, more confidant conception. One of the bonuses included in this class is a step-by-step guide to reverse engineering Cycle Awareness for baby-making. When you take the course now, you'll have both the tools to conceive, as well as the tools for natural birth control if you'd like once baby arrives.
Can this method work for me even when I'm breastfeeding? Yes, absolutely. Breastfeeding is a great time not to be putting artificial hormones from the pill or other hormonal birth control into your system. This class will cover exactly how to use Cycle Awareness effectively through breastfeeding and transitioning back into cycling regularly.
Can I take the class even if I'm still on birth control? Yes, absolutely. This knowledge is valuable for everyone, and some people prefer to learn the Method and sense whether it's a good fit for them before getting off hormonal birth control. The benefit of getting off hormonal birth control sooner than later is that your cycle will likely begin to return during the program, which will give you an opportunity to practice charting and interpreting your body signs, and observing the return of your fertility and cycle health. We are not really cycling when we're on any form of hormonal birth control, so there is no valuable information to chart while taking/using it. The timing is up to you, and it's certainly something we can discuss during the program.
“Priceless! Amber’s Fertility Awareness Method class series changed my life. I say this with no exaggeration. The knowledge she shared was completely new information to me, and I come from a pretty standard college-educated family. I learned things about the female body that I never knew were possible. You CAN be in control, you CAN know your body, and CAN be in touch with nature of your cycles and your fertility.
Yes, this is perfect for women who do NOT want to get pregnant, as well as women who are trying to conceive. Once you learn what happens to your body during the cycle you can use the knowledge in any way YOU need! The class is 100% personalized in that. This method is crucial for everyone to know, but a great teacher is what makes it stick. The amount of personal attention each of the students received in the class was remarkable. Every question was answered (and you WILL have questions!). Wonderful handouts and supplementary materials were provided - those I will keep for the rest of my life. Once you learn how to chart with Amber’s help, it is easy to continue using the method on your own. This is the most incredible investment. Purchase of a lifetime, I would like to say.
Knowledge is power. Thank you, Amber, for giving me the power to step more into my healthy, beautiful, harmonized female self!”

“Amber is kind, compassionate, open-minded and very observant, making her an excellent educator. I firmly believe the natural healing ability of our body, and the importance to listen and learn how our body functions. Amber showed me to how to observe the changes within my cycle. She was not shy to share her knowledge; helped me to clear a few misunderstanding from just reading the book and practicing on my own. She is so GOOD!! She is doing an awesome deed helping women to take charge of our fertility. I felt so grateful and EMPOWERED walking out of her session. What’s more to ask?!”
“I took Amber’s class and it truly lit up something in me. I think I wrote down nearly every word said, and then felt really moved to ask my closest girl group to meet up after work over coffee and I read my notes to them and how it made me feel. We had some of the more profound conversations about womanhood I’ve ever had. We all loved it so much, that we’re going to meet regularly to keep talking about it. I’m looking at my body in a new way, I’m looking at my community of women in a new way, and I’m looking at my love life in a new way. I didn’t expect it, but I ended up processing some old relationships through writing during this past cycle. I was shocked at how much stuff wanted to be released and how long I’d been carrying it. I am craving more classes! Anything Amber could offer, I’ll gladly sign up for!”
“Amber is an incredible teacher!! Her Fertility Awareness Method class is absolutely mind blowing! I can’t believe we aren’t taught this as young women. My partner and I took this class together, and he was equally blown away. So many fears and myths about when we could get pregnant were dispelled in each class and the method itself is so straightforward. Amber teaches the method in a very clear, concise, compassionate way. She listens deeply and answered all of our questions with such thoughtfulness. I am enjoying tracking my cycle tremendously! I am recommend this class to anyone who is ready to take back their creative and reproductive power!”
You can do this. Studies have shown that especially when women learn to track their cycles from other women, virtually every single person can do it, and do it highly effectively. If you have a uterus, ovaries, and a cycle (even a wildly irregular one), Cycle Awareness is your birthright. You deserve this. Join me today.
“If you have a uterus, Amber has some magic to share with you!
I recently had the pleasure of attending her Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) class series for “Eco-Birth Control” and it was incredible. Amber gives you all the information you need to feel confident charting your cycles so you truly know your body, when you’re fertile and when you are not and how to use this safe and effective form of birth control. I had been on hormonal birth control for years and wanted to stop putting chemical hormones in my body (which effectively shut off your natural hormones and your womanhood!) and FAM was the answer. I read Taking Charge of Your Fertility, which got me started, but didn’t give me a thorough understanding of how fertility works and how to most effectively chart during my cycle. Amber gave me the tools I needed to do just that. Even if you are not planning to use Fertility Awareness Method for birth control, gaining a deep understanding of how your body and fertility functions is not only empowering but extremely important and fascinating. This should just be basic information that we all grow up knowing as women! I can’t believe it took me until my late twenties to figure it all out.
Thank you Amber, you are truly a gifted teacher and healer!”
