hello!
My name is Sara, and I can't wait to be your NFP Coach.
To introduce myself: I'm a nurse and a certified Marquette Method NFP instructor. I'm also the owner of NFP Coach LLC, an online membership-style program I set up to give clients the flexibility to learn NFP on their own schedule but also work with a coach one-on-one.
Why a membership? I've found that this program gives clients the personalized support they need to achieve autonomy with the method in all different circumstances and stages of fertility. I have been working with women and couples in this capacity since 2011, reaching over a thousand women around the world.
Currently I'm serving on the Board of Directors for the Marquette Method Professionals Association (MMPA) as the President of the organization which was formed to provide a regulating body for the instructors of the Marquette Method of NFP.
In my previous professional life, I graduated with a BSN from Franciscan University of Steubenville in 2000 followed by a 10 year career at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta in general pediatrics, technology dependent care, GI Lab and the recovery room. I retired to stay home with my young children and began training to teach the Marquette Method of NFP in 2010.
In my time at FUS I was introduced to Theology of the Body and fell in love with the teachings regarding sexuality and the original plan of creation, and as a nurse, NFP is where science and theology collide and felt drawn to teach NFP. I always thought I'd learn to use it and see it work before I learned to teach it, which is exactly what I did.
I married my husband Nathan in 2006 and now after using NFP for 18 years we have been able to experience using NFP for both achieving and avoid pregnancy, through breastfeeding, miscarriages and now into the perimenopause years. We've been able to achieve our goals in all different levels of conservative or not-so-conservative situations over the years. We have 3 daughters who are 16, 14, and 10 who are the light of our lives and keep us on our toes- and in the car!
Our family lives on the north side of Atlanta in the 'burbs and attends All Saints Catholic Church.
