I'm Julie, aka, "The Cycle Lady"
And I am Charlotte's only certified Fertility Awareness Educator.
I’ve been charting my cycle using sympto-thermal Fertility Awareness for 11 years, since the birth of my son, who’s conception was unplanned. As a woman who has experienced unplanned pregnancy, adoption counseling for almost 9 months during that same pregnancy, medical gaslighting, and complete lack of informed consent in allopathic medical practices, Fertility Awareness appealed to me as a way to get some distance from a very disconnected and fragmented medical system.
And ladies, let’s face it, my dilemma was real. Birth control options today are passable at best. As in, sure, some of these options do a pretty good job at preventing pregnancy, but they also do a whole lot of other things that we did not ask for.
You’re not even fertile every day! Why does the responsibility of preventing pregnancy fall upon you? Your man could get multiple women pregnant every day – but you can only carry 1 pregnancy to term per year. It seems like the pharmaceutical industry has it backwards by focusing on women, doesn’t it?
I think they know exactly what they’re doing: regulating women’s bodies, because women are inherently powerful. Women are creators – alchemists, really. Our bodies transform two tiny cells into full-on life in a nine-month time period. Our bodies prepare for it every single (menstrual) cycle. Our psyches and spirits were uniquely designed to foster growth, love, and creation. We have so much to offer, whether or not we are making babies, because our cyclical and creative inclinations tee us up to birth so much more than the next generation (as if that weren’t a feat enough). We are creative in so many other ways: we are authors, artists, architects, collaborators, designers, leaders, and so much more.
Breaking free from the system that is inherently oppressing women is your next step to living aligned with your feminine creativity.

So, what exactly does a
fertility awareness educator do?
I teach about the 3 main fertility biomarkers, and myriad secondary signs
I help women understand when ovulation is happening, so they can avoid a pregnancy OR achieve one
I teach the physiology of the menstrual cycle so that young people can understand, rather than fight against, this cycle
I show women how to connect to their bodies, and recognize a change in their menstrual cycle as easily as they'd recognize a cold coming on

"Julie is a fantastic instructor and facilitator. She made the content easy to understand and fun to learn. I walked away with far more knowledge than I entered her class with, and a feeling of connectedness to those who were in the class with me. Julie fostered a great sense of community in the class, which is hard to do in a virtual environment!" - Kylie Z, 2025
"Julie, I can’t express enough how much your passion for teaching has inspired me! Throughout the cycle mapping course, I felt so engaged and motivated to learn. Your enthusiasm was contagious, and it fueled my curiosity to dive deeper into the material." - Elizabeth , 2025
"For now... Julie is amazing about explaining the connection from symptoms experienced to how that may show up in your chart to what that might mean on a root cause level. I have learned so much about my own body and fertility since delving into this topic with her. " - Erika F, 2025
"This should be knowledge we are all downloaded with at birth, but we aren't. It is so important. Julie really knows her stuff and makes it comfortable to talk about the topics that society has said are taboo." - Emma G, 2025
"It felt strange at first to hear you talking about things like cervical fluid, reproductive organs, sex, and things like that so freely and positively, but it was very encouraging after a while and made me more confident to view those things in that way as well." - Emily B, 2025
"I feel so much more knowledgeable about my body and the hormones, emotions, and physical aspects I experience everyday. I'm excited about what this means for me and my partner, and so glad I took this opportunity - I've already shared what I've learned with the women in my life and plan to keep doing so!" - Anonymous Participant, 2025
"I was so thankful to have taken part in Julie's Class Series! She truly was such an engaging teacher who catered to each of our group member's needs.

"Julie is an excellent teacher. She is passionate about the material and has such a depth of knowledge about the human body.
