Charting your menstrual cycle—for the purpose of family planning or for health monitoring—goes by many names, but there is a lack of common education on what it is. I love teaching women the benefits of charting their cycles and how to use the biomarkers of cervical mucus and basal body temperatures to determine their windows of fertility in each cycle.

Through SymptoPro, I offer in-person and online classes where you will learn how to chart your cycles and live according to your family planning intentions.

Please see below for more information, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Meet Rachel

Since 2024, Rachel Fields has been an instructor of the sympto-thermal method of fertility awareness. She is trained in the SymptoPro program.

  • "Rachel was a great instructor for the SymptoPro class. She was very thorough with her explanations and made it easy to learn and understand! She is also very knowledgeable and patient with explaining charting methods, and always open to answering any questions! A great overall experience making me excited to practice NFP!"

    Client Testimonial

  • "I recently had the pleasure of working with Rachel at SymptoPro to better understand and track my menstrual cycle, with the goal of achieving deeper insights into how my body functions throughout the cycle. From the start, Rachel was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive to my needs. Her approach to teaching about the menstrual cycle was comprehensive and empowering. She explained each phase of the cycle in detail, helping me understand the changes in my body and how to recognize key signs of fertility. I was particularly impressed with her ability to break down complex information into clear, actionable steps that I could easily follow. Throughout the process, Rachel was patient and always available to answer my questions, providing me with personalized advice that made me feel confident in tracking my cycle accurately. Her compassionate and non-judgmental manner made it easy to discuss intimate topics, and I always felt heard and respected. I highly recommend SymtoPro to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of their menstrual cycle, whether for fertility purposes or simply to gain more knowledge about their reproductive health."

    Client Testimonial

  • "Rachel is incredibly knowledgeable about Natural Family Planning. The classes she taught are very in depth, and she explains topics in detail, but also in a digestible manner. In addition, she tailored my tracking to my lifestyle, and is always available to answer questions that I have in relation to my cycle. Even though the class is completed, she consistently checks in with me. I feel much more knowledgeable about NFP after taking her course. Thanks Rachel!"

What is the Sympto-Thermal Method?

When you chart your cycle using the sympto-thermal method, you will observe the following biomarkers:

  • Basal Body Temperature

  • Cervical Mucus

  • Sensation

  • Cervix (optional)

Changes in these signs can indicate where you are in your cycle. These signs take only minutes to observe each day and become part of your daily routine.

With this information, we will work together to apply the best “rules” to determine your relatively infertile time, potentially fertile time, and completely infertile time.

FREE OF JUDGMENT

I understand that my clients have varying backgrounds, belief systems, health concerns, and more. Whether you have vast knowledge of NFP or are just curious to learn more about your cycle, I would be happy to guide you in your learning. There is already a lot of unneeded judgment surrounding women’s bodies, so I make it my goal to be welcoming, patient, and understanding. 

RELIABLE

My clients count on me to be responsive, confidential, and amiable.
