what kindred fertility students are saying
“Tamara provided so much support and understanding during our sessions. She worked with me individually to create sustainable charting methods and was always encouraging, even when my charts were incomplete or I wasn't able to complete homework fully. She approached my anxieties and past experience with so much grace and helped me lift some of the shame I had surrounding tracking my cycle.
Tamara was an incredible and thoughtful instructor who answered all my questions clearly and really understood where I was coming from. I'm so grateful for our time together and really owe her a lot of my confidence and understanding with the practice!”

“I felt supported and understood through every step of the learning process and post-class evaluations through Tamara's ability to hold space for and honor my body and my personal charting journey. Tamara made this sacred knowledge feel easily accessible and approachable.
I am eternally grateful to Tamara for holding this sacred space and helping us learn our body's language and connect to that deep knowledge within all of us. This has absolutely kick-started a deeper level of self-love and self awareness that I will carry with me forever.”
