Sex Ed Failed You. Let’s Fix That.
Learn how your cycle actually works, why most women were never taught their fertile signs and how natural birth control can be both good for your and highly effective when properly taught.
Wishing, hoping and praying your period comes every cycle?
Women I’ve worked with:
Left years of hormonal birth control behind and never looked back
Stopped living in fear of unplanned pregnancies
Learned to create monthly report cards of their sexual health that are more thorough and easy to understand than most lab tests
Overcame the monthly stress of watching for your period to start
Connected to ancient wisdom to heal from debilitating period pain, irregular cycles, and more
Made the first truly informed reproductive choice of their lives
You’ve got to realize, the fact is, Sex-Ed has failed us.
Most women are navigating their sexual health in the dark.
And it’s crazy how completely that’s been normalized!
If you’ve been:
Hoping your tracking app is actually psychic (and not just making guesstimates)
Using withdrawal and white-knuckling the days before your period arrives - every single month
Taking hormonal birth control because the alternative felt too uncertain to risk
Leaving a doctor's appointment with your questions dismissed by someone who received no formal training in what you were asking about
Believing that natural birth control and reliable birth control are mutually exclusive
Having no language for what your body is doing between your periods
Treating the signals your cycle sends - the pain, the shifts, the irregularity - as problems to suppress rather than messages to understand
Your cycle’s been speaking to you your entire life. You were just never taught to read it.
The fertility awareness method (FAM) - when properly taught - helps you understand your fertile window, confirms when ovulation is happening, and helps you make informed choices about preventing pregnancy without synthetic hormones.
When a doctor dismisses fertility awareness, that doesn’t mean the method lacks credibility - it means their training likely never covered it in the first place.
FAM is 99.6% effective contraception with perfect use. It requires less than five minutes a day once you know what to look for. It gives you more accurate information about your hormonal health than any app, any blood panel, and any prescription ever has. And in various forms, it has existed for centuries longer than the pharmaceutical industry.
You deserve the full truth about your own body. That is informed consent - and has always been your birthright.
Real Women, Real Results
A woman came to me after ending an unplanned pregnancy, needing certainty that it would never happen again.
After working together her confidence has been restored and she now looks forward to intimacy with her husband instead of dreading it.
A woman came to me wanting off the pill, but her partner and friends said she was crazy.
She left with the language to advocate for herself and came off hormones with full support.
A woman came to me because her husband's vasectomy had failed.
The pregnancy that followed shook her confidence and shut down their sex life entirely.
She became my star student and Her marriage was saved.
Hi, I’m Chanana
I’m a fertility awareness educator, certified through the Association of Fertility Awareness Professionals, so you can be sure I share the real science and help you reach maximum efficacy. I also learned everything I teach the hard way, so that you don't have to. I had two unplanned pregnancies before I found what actually works. That path - and the decade of rigorous study that followed - is the foundation of everything I bring to helping women use FAM with confidence. My work comes from something deeper…
I come from a living lineage of African Rain Queens.
I’m a direct descendant of the Mujaji Rain Queens of Southern Africa (the inspiration for Marvel’s Storm). In this matrilineal tradition a woman’s body is the temple.
My grandmother was a water healer, deepening my connection to the waters of the womb. I return to Botswana with my kids almost every year, connecting with family, learning from elders and sitting with Bushmen around fires learning womb wisdom that modern medicine is only now beginning to confirm.
That depth lives and breathes underneath everything I teach - and it is part of what makes this work unlike anything else you will find.
If you’ve ever felt like something is off but couldn’t quite put your finger on it, start here.

Decolonize Your Birth Control -
Decolonize Your Birth Control is the deeper piece where I reveal why so many women were never taught how their bodies work, how the birth control conversation got shaped by systems that were never built for women’s full health, and what it looks like to take that knowledge back.
Read the essay, or press play and let me walk you through it, I promise, you won’t regret it.

“Working with Chanana has been a game-changer.”

She made it feel fun, exciting and most of all super comfortable to learn and ask questions." - Yolonda L
“I feel safe and informed — and my cramps are gone!”
