In the 15 years since I have been a Certified Natural Health Practitioner, I have seen many clients experiencing hormonal disruption. Some are suffering from infertility, some emotional illness, some from side effects or after-effects of hormonal contraception, some undergoing hormonal or cancer treatments, and some want to quit hormonal contraception because of the risks. When I suggested the cer
vical cap as a safe alternative to clients, each came back telling me that no one - not their doctors, not their women's health clinics - knew about a cervical cap available in North America. Surprised, I began to track down cervical caps only to find that one by one they had been bought out and discontinued. Until I found the FemCap and its affable, passionately pro-woman inventor, Doctor Alfred Shihata. Two years later, I proudly announced that I had imported FemCaps (not presently available for sale in Canada) directly after my Canadian distributor dropped them. A few years later, I was the first to offer the Caya Diaphragm and Caya Diaphragm Gel. With Apprentice and sexual health counselor Tynan Rhea, I added healthy sexual health tools, and later, sustainable menstrual cups and washable pads. I thank my clients all over North America who have supported our work in promoting Sustainable Sex, and who have chosen to order from us rather than a big pharma/supplement supply house. I am happy to offer each of my customers ongoing health and product consultation. A Canadian medical distributor requested that I carry the Vagiwell silicone vaginal dilators, and I soon recognized the need to offer a range of vaginal dilators and pelvic health tools for physical therapy, surgical and trauma recovery. I most recently added Natural Family Planning Methods to our offerings: CycleBeads are a way of using the Standard Days Method of natural family planning. CycleBeads® looks like a necklace but is actually a tool that helps you track your menstrual cycle and clearly identify the days when pregnancy is most likely. The method is proven to be more than 95% effective at preventing pregnancy. We also offer the premier Fertility Awareness Method - The Justisse Method - in kit form and with replacement materials. I offer free information sessions on hormone-free contraception. If you know a group that might be interested, please put us in touch.
