HI! I'M KRISTA CHERNOFF
I am a Family Nurse Practitioner and certified Fertility Awareness Instructor. I help reduce fatigue, PMS, and period problems so they can feel good every day of their cycles and increase their energy and vitality.
I am on a mission to:
- EDUCATE women on their bodies, cycle health, and hormones
- EQUIP women with the tools they need to thrive, not just survive- every day of the month
- EMPOWER women to take charge of their health
Ready to move from exhausted to energized and reclaim your cycle today?
Have you ever felt in the dark when it comes to your body, menstrual cycle, energy (or lack of), mood, libido, fertility, or other symptoms you may be experiencing on a daily or monthly basis?
Let’s face it: you can’t get all the answers or education you need and deserve in a 15-minute annual visit with your healthcare provider. I know because I have been on both sides of it. As a nurse practitioner, I have seen women in clinic who are confused, frustrated, and fed up with their own bodies. Here’s the problem: I didn’t have the time or resources to give them the education and help they truly needed. As a patient, I have left many doctor appointments with more questions than answers.
I SEE you.
This is why I have made it my mission to educate, equip, and empower you with the tools you need to THRIVE, not simply SURVIVE, every day of your cycle.

New to tracking your cycle?
Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) teaches women the link between their hormones, health, and fertility. This is accomplished through tracking physical, observable signs throughout the ENTIRE cycle- not just your period.
Think of tracking your cycle as a blueprint of your health. Tracking your cycle, ovulation, and patterns gives insight not only to your fertility, but also to your mood, sleep, energy, libido, food preferences, creativity, and overall health.
In this program, learning to track your cycle is the foundation and first step to reclaiming your cycle health. We then build upon this and implement sustainable solutions to help you increase your energy and vitality and feel good throughout your cycle!
FAQs
How does FEMM work?
Charting your ovulatory cycle can help you better recognize hormonal biomarkers and other vital signs of health. By understanding your body, you can identify normal or abnormal hormonal patterns and connect the dots between symptoms and lifestyle factors that are contributing to (or taking away from) your overall health and well-being.
Who can benefit from FEMM?
The FEMM method is applicable to all women from puberty to menopause. Whether your cycle is regular or irregular, FEMM can be utilized to gain a better understanding of your health, as well as a Fertility Awareness Method to avoid or achieve pregnancy.
Why is FEMM important?
As women, we deserve to understand our bodies in order to make informed medical choices and decisions that align with our health and well-being. Since your cycle reflects your hormones and overall health, it can be a powerful tool to bring to your doctor if you are having a health issue or are trying to conceive. FEMM’s goal is to “empower women in the achievement of their health and reproductive goals by helping them gain a better understanding of their biology and monthly cycles.”
How can FEMM help me avoid or achieve pregnancy?
There are only a handful of days that conception is possible each cycle. Through charting the ovulatory cycle and monitoring her reproductive hormones, a woman can identify her times of fertility and infertility throughout the cycle. This allows a couple to know when to time intercourse appropriately to achieve their fertility goals.
Will FEMM work for me if I have irregular cycles?
YES! In fact, charting your cycle is ENCOURAGED in women with irregular cycles. This may be a sign of an underlying health issue, and it can be a powerful tool to bring to your doctor to get to the root of the problem.
Can FEMM help me if I'm experiencing hormone related symptoms?
While contraceptives are used to treat common issues related to womens cycles, it is not miracle pill that will fix the root of underlying issues. A woman’s cycle is often affected when there is a hormonal imbalance, which is why women should allow it to become their biggest advocate when they are experiencing any major concerns. The following symptoms could be indicators of a hormone imbalance:
- Infertility
- Bloating
- Weight gain
- Breast tenderness
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Difficulty concentrating
- Headaches
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Food cravings
- Acne
- Painful periods
- Irregular cycles
- Insomnia
- Excessive fatigue
- Mood swings
Can I work with you if I don't live in the same city?
Yes! I offer 1:1 courses in person or via online platform.
Let’s work together!
Each woman’s cycle is so unique. Whether you are ready to take the next step in your health with our Holistic Hormones program, or simply want to learn how to chart your cycle for health or fertility reasons, I cannot wait to help you reclaim your cycle to become you radiant, best self.
