Wouldn't it be nice to bleed in a world where...

Medicine is for healing, not industry. Land is for tending, not exploiting. Bodies are for experiencing life, not for controlling.

About Isobel

Isobel helps women & womb carriers understand their bodies, trust themselves, and birth their dreams using the knowledge and tools of Fertility Awareness.

She has been in personal use of the Symptothermal method of Fertility Awareness since 2018, educated through FEMM, and in practice as an educator since 2020, trained by the NFPTA. She is also an artist and Yoga Nidra facilitator. 

Isobel is an artist and an educator. A Better World To Bleed In is a manifesto.

“My mission began with my own journey in healing my relationship to contraception and my menstrual cycle. I entered my fertile years through the common pathway of hormonal birth control, but after 6 years of this menstrual denial, shame, dysregulation and pain, felt the strong call to find another way.

I am so grateful for the teachers I encountered at this transitory moment, who initiated me into the Fertility Awareness Method.

Despite great trepidation, I stepped onto the path of fertility, and began to uncover an understanding of myself that had been hidden during my years of pill induced infertility. I soon started seeing huge shifts in the whole ecosystem of my body, and it felt imperative to share the wisdom and possibility with my community.

Passing on this knowledge feels to me like a true calling. I have experienced myself, and seen in others, how this work transforms. It is a big bold mission to give birth to a new world, but I am fortified to remember that I am one of many who are gestating it at this very moment.”

Isobel holds the vision of a world where we work with our bodies, not against them, in understanding of and reverence to their inherent creative power, wonder & wholeness. 

Isobel’s approach combines the 'outer work' of the symptothermal method of Fertility Awareness - of which she is a certified educator (NFPTA) - with the 'inner work' of self-inquiry & embodiment drawn from her artistic practice. She supports her students to develop their own unique conscious cycle charting praxis, one that is based on knowledge and evidence, AND intuition.  

“I believe that when we consciously invoke the power of a Fertility Awareness Method, whilst simultaneously developing deep self consent and safety within our bodies, we cast a powerful spell of collective liberation.

“Isobel’s coaching was life changing. I’ve confidently been using FAM for the past 6 months and won’t be going back to my previous birth control method. Isobel’s coaching approach is clear, empowering, and knowledgeable. I can’t have asked for a better introduction to FAM.”

Charlotte

“Isobel has given me so much confidence, and invited me to listen to my body. In Season Cycles has changed my life - that’s dramatic but it’s true! I felt like I didn’t have enough time but it’s been able to fit perfectly into my already busy life.”

Clea

“I am truly blown away with how my body as well as my mind has responded to learning fertility awareness with 1:1 support from Isobel. My body has quite literally regulated itself in response to in-depth cycling charting and a dedicated fertility awareness practise and learning. My periods and cycles have become regular (something they have never been before in all my 28 years) and I feel totally empowered with the tools I need to make this a lifelong practice I can trust.”

Lola

“Being guided through FAM by Isobel has given me such joy! She’s such a delightful person to work with. Isobel’s calm, clear and neutral energy made taking the leap of faith and switching to FAM as my main contraceptive method less intimidating, making me feel confident and supported in the process. Isobel is a very reliable coach, ensuring that none of my questions or worries go unheard. Cycle awareness has helped me in so many aspects of my life and has given me deep reverence for this body that we inhabit as women!”
