CycleSense
Get cycle clarity in 4 months through this unique mentorship
Are you tired of feeling disconnected from your body?
Every month feels like a mystery…
Will I get my period this week or next?
Am I fertile right now, or is it safe?
Why do I feel completely different every week?
Is my cycle “normal”?
If you’re relying on apps, you’re essentially guessing about your own unique body.
Algorithmic apps are making educated guesses based on past data - not the present tense YOU, with your own unique pattern, timing, and signals.
You might be dealing with:
Unwanted side effects from hormonal birth control
Frustration from ‘missing’ your fertile window month after month
Anxiety about whether your cycles are healthy
Feeling like your body is unpredictable and unreliable
Confusion from conflicting information about fertility
But the truth is your body is already giving you precise, reliable information about your fertility and health every single day.
You just haven’t learned how to read the signs yet.
What if you had complete confidence about where you are in your cycle?
Imagine knowing:
Exactly when you’re fertile (and when you’re not)
Whether you need backup contraception today
The perfect timing to consciously conceive
Early warning signs of hormonal imbalances
When your period will actually arrive (not a guess!)
This isn’t fantasy - it’s Fertility Awareness.

“Working with Kate to understand and map my cycle gave me an education I didn't know I was missing… Observing my body's patterns through cycle charting has felt like uncovering the magic that's been happening this whole time.”
-
“This class changed my relationship to my body fundamentally - instead of being frustrated by changes in my cycle or symptoms, I now understand what my body is trying to tell me, what it needs for support, and why these changes might be happening.”
-
“This program was one of the most illuminating, life-changing experiences of my adult life, and I cannot believe I went most of my life without understanding the basic tenets of my hormonal and reproductive cycles.”
Hi, I’m Kate, Certified Fertility Awareness Educator.

My story:
I found this practice in my 20s and was seeking a non-hormonal contraception option.
Since then, cycle tracking has been a renewable resource in my life: not only has it been my primary birth control for 8+ years, but it also empowered me to seek out a fibroids diagnosis and get additional support.
Now, I know exactly where I am in my cycle and how to adjust my lifestyle accordingly with clarity and confidence.
I am a total cycle nerd, and I have made it my mission to teach others this life-changing skill.
How does the method work?
We track two primary biomarkers that reveal your fertility status every day:
-
Your temperature shifts after ovulation, confirming that it happened and that you are no longer fertile.
-
Changes in secretions throughout your cycle indicate your most fertile days
-
Your cervix changes position and texture, providing additional clarity
When you track these signs correctly, you achieve:
98.2% effectiveness for pregnancy prevention (when following the guidelines)
Precise identification of your fertile window
Early detection of hormonal imbalances
Confirmation of ovulation (something your apps can’t do!)
This isn’t guesswork. This is a science-backed method.
Testimonials

Kate is such a passionate and generous teacher who perfectly imparts her wisdom in a digestible way. Truly the fairy godmother we all needed at menarche.

My body literacy went up ten fold!
M.H.
-
But this class completely blew my mind - there was so much I didn't know, or had incomplete information on.
Kate Helen Downey
-
You deserved access to this information whenever you first got your period! Don't deny yourself this knowledge any longer! On a personal note, reproductive healthcare spaces can be a nightmare for nonbinary and trans people and Kate handles a range of genders in her classes with care and ease. This class is for you too.

Kate’s course gifted me with immense confidence in tracking my cycle.
Holly
-
Thanks to the intimacy of my one-on-one sessions with Kate I was able to have supported and informative time to dedicate to think about and center my unique cycle, something that I have not been able to do on my own time, thank you Kate!

FAQs
-
At Earth Body, we teach a FAM practice that is nearly identical to that used in a 2007 German study that found the FAM method was 99.4-99.6% effective in preventing pregnancy when used perfectly. Taking into account user effectiveness (human error, etc.), its efficacy rates at 98.2%.
With that said, there is a learning curve, and I do recommend a 3-6 month runway to use this as your primary method of birth control.
-
Absolutely. In fact, learning to chart your cycles may help you understand WHY your cycles are irregular and equip you with tools to help regulate them.
-
This is a 5 minute day practice that soon becomes a habit - as my mentor Sarah says, “it’s like brushing your teeth each day.”
-
We cover modifications for shift work, travel, and other situations. I am passionate about working with clients to find solutions for all schedules!
-
No! The Rhythm Method relies on calculation and predictions, but at Earth Body we teach a sympto-thermal method that uses real-time observation of your body’s fertility signals. Completely different - and more effective.
-
Just a basal body thermometer ($10-15). I provide recommendations for the best ones to use.
-
Illness, travel, stress, and other disruptions are covered in the course. You’ll learn how to handle every situation.
-
Apps predict based on averages and are making their best guess. Cycle Charting observes YOUR fertility signs in real-time so you can comfortable know when you’re fertile window.
-
While live attendance is encouraged, all classes will be recorded and shared with all participants.
-
Ideally, folks who join the class series are off hormonal contraception before we starting working together so they can take part in the full practice with biomarker checks.
However, many clients take this class in anticipation of coming off hormonal birth control.
Please reach out if you are want to join and have any questions!
