Whether you: 

Creighton is for every woman between puberty & menopause.

I approach fertility care from a Catholic understanding of human dignity, marital sexuality, and the gift of fertility. God created your body with intention and goodness. Through this work, I seek to help you live out the Theology of the Body in a practical, life-giving way.

Creighton instruction is not a one-time class. It is a personalized system built on consistent, one-on-one follow up. You will receive continued education, guidance, and encouragement to help you confidently reach your family planning and reproductive health goals.

Personalized, Ongoing Support

Rooted in Faith

With the Creighton Model, your concerns are taken seriously. You will never be dismissed, given a pill to simply mask symptoms, or asked to accept “unexplained infertility" without investigation.

Our goal is to understand your unique cycle patterns, identify root causes, and support true healing from the inside out through ethical, restorative medicine.

Authentic Women’s Healthcare

Learning to understand your body and fertility is one of the most empowering investments you can make for your health, marriage, and future. My goal is to make Creighton instruction both accessible and sustainable, while honoring the value of this life-changing method. Most clients benefit from a structured process of consistent follow-ups over several months. That’s why I offer both a flexible pay-as-you-go option and a comprehensive package that provides the best value and continuity.

Investment starts at $150 per session.

The first year of our marriage, we used NFP to avoid pregnancy. Charting allowed us to clearly identify fertile and infertile days so we could make intentional decisions together. There was no guessing, anxiety, pills or barriers. Just a full and total gift of self in our marriage and confidence in making responsible choices for our family.

When we felt called to grow our family, months passed and it wasn’t as simple as A + B = C. Thankfully, charting equipped us for this season too. By the time we met with a NaPro doctor, I had two years of charts to share. This gave her a detailed, day-by-day medical history of my reproductive health. Although my cycles looked “normal,” we weren’t conceiving. Further testing revealed an infection in my uterus, which was diagnosed and treated. Soon after, we conceived our oldest child.

Our Story with the Creighton Model

When my husband and I were engaged, we learned the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System, a Fertility Awareness Based Method used for Natural Family Planning. I charted for nine months before marriage, learning to read my body’s biological signs of fertility and understanding my health in a way I never had before.

Almost immediately, I found myself wondering why I had never been taught how my body actually works and how I could help share this essential knowledge with others.

After our first two babies were born, we continued charting to avoid pregnancy postpartum. Later, when we hoped for a third child, I noticed something had changed. We weren’t conceiving, and my body’s natural signs of fertility had disappeared. I followed up with a NaPro doctor and received a new diagnosis of PCOS. I actually smiled hearing it because answers meant a clear path toward healing. We conceived soon after and our third baby was born in the summer of 2025.

This is the gift of cycle charting: deep awareness of your body, the ability to recognize when something is off, and the confidence to advocate for your health. Charting with Creighton has given us freedom in our marriage, knowledge every person deserves, and the empowerment to actively participate in our reproductive health.

Sign up with Melissa

I’ve been working with Melissa as my Creighton practitioner since I started dating my husband in 2020. She helped me know my fertility & cycle so that when we got married and started having sex, we knew about my body together."

From past Creighton clients

"Melissa helped us when we couldn’t conceive. She’s the BEST!

I wish I had started working with her before getting married! Learning about my cycle has helped me appreciate nutrition, exercise, and self care in a different way because I see how everything comes together and a healthy cycle means a healthy body. Melissa is an excellent instructor - she is knowledgeable, professional, patient, and responsive. I got married in my thirties and knew almost nothing about my cycle and then experienced pregnancy loss in the first several months of marriage. Melissa helped point me in the direction of Napro and we sorted everything out and were able to have a successful pregnancy and the birth of our little boy. We are so grateful! I highly recommend working with Melissa!"

"Melissa has helped me so much in learning about my body and my cycle.
