I was worried it would get really complicated, but Heidi explained it perfectly. I understand my cycle so much more clearly and felt supported rather than ashamed that I didn’t already know this.

Sex With a Strategy
a 90 day mentorship
You don’t need more cycle facts..
You need to know what your observations mean
- Was kind of cervical fluid was that?
- Has ovulation actually been confirmed?
- Is the fertile window actually open now?
- What does this mean for sex tonight?
Because collecting data does not prevent pregnancy.
Knowing what it means and what you do about it, does.
It's time to learn your cycle with clarity and confidence, and you can learn with me in just 90 days!
Is this you?
- Have you ever stared at your period tracker and thought: "Ok cool, but am I actually fertile right now?"
- You've been wanting to come off hormonal birth control, but are definitely not ready for pregnancy & have no idea where to start
- Maybe you're wondering if you could actually trust your cycle over an app
- starting looking into FAM and are stressing over what each temp means

Because the hard part is not taking your temperature. It's knowing what to do with that information.
Why You Need Sex With a Strategy
- you'll stop treating your period like she's late
- because there is no such thing as a late period, only delayed ovulation
- You'll stop collecting information and start observing your cycle
- your observations start to actually mean something
- You'll start recognizing your own patterns
- every body is different, you'll learn to recognize and categorize what your observations mean for your body
- You'll know when your fertile window is open
- and how to behave inside of it based on your pregnancy intentions
This is for the woman who...
- wants to understand her (sometimes whacky) body
- wants contraception that doesn't require any external sources
- is willing to observe her body daily
- wants to understand why a chart means what it means
- wants confidence in identifying when unprotected sex might be risky
- is tired of wasting condoms, or unnecessarily taking plan B
Birth control is personal. You need accountability, an evidence-based charting approach you can trust and support when charts don't match the textbooks.
What Clients are saying...
"
I feel way more confident about where I am in my cycle and what my body is telling me. Having Heidi look at my chart and give me feedback on what I was doing right, or what I could work on, was the most valuable part.
Emily
I honestly enjoyed the program and learnt so much about my body. I didn't feel ashamed I didn't understand my body as a 25 year old woman but instead felt supported that others struggle the same.
Mel
Having a teacher look at my chart and give me feedback on what I'm doing right, or what I can work on."
Emily
Hi, i'm heidi
Certified fertility awareness educator and founder of licensed to chart.
I teach a sympto-thermal method of FAM for women who like their sex informed & decisions their own.
I found FAM when I was 25, I wanted contraception that wasn't dependent on my doctor filling a prescription for me every year. I also did not want to get pregnant, or have an IUD... and I also didn't want to only use condoms for the rest of my life.
I know. I'm so demanding.
I chose to certify with Fertility Knowledge Collective because it gave me everything I wanted:
- low-mental gymnastics of sensation-focused cervical mucus observations,
- the cross-check with temperature (and LH if needed)
- the simplicity of knowing what my chart was telling me and why
- And what that meant for my sex life (cuz for reals, informed decisions around fertility is the GOAT)
Fertility awareness for women who want sex with a strategy.
Why learn from me?
I want you to feel how I felt when I learned fertility awareness: supported, confident and safe. Because a lot of my mind was flabbergasted, overwhelmed and angry because why-the-fuck aren't we taught this?!
I want you to understand what you're doing, feel the self-assured experience of deciding what to do in your fertile window.
I can break the method down to be easy to understand, simple and even bloody enjoyable,
I will look at your actual charts in real-time and we will chat about questions you're too embarrassed to ask.
We'll troubleshoot the weird bits.
Practice.
Because charting with FAM is doable and I want you to have the confidence to know at all times what the fuck your body is saying.
FAQ's
"But what if my cycle isn't regular?"
That is totally okay. Fertility awareness teaches you to interpret what your body is doing in real time, so you can confidently use FAM however long or short or weird your cycle is.
I'm self-taught, but still confused.
Welcome, my fellow DIY-er! I'm excited to hear you've dabbled in the field. Sex with a Strategy will give you a structured system to help clear out all the nonsense and really focus on what will actually help you use FAM for birth control. Plus, you'll get support from me along the way!
Do I need to be off hormonal birth control before learning FAM?
Nope! You can learn FAM before you stop birth control. This can help you feel more confident for when your natural rhythms return. In fact, Sex with a Strategy will give you a solid foundation for your transition.
How involved is FAM?
FAM is a behaviour method. Efficacy relies on what you do in your fertile window, and the reliability of the birth control methods you chose in that window.
