Hello and welcome to my website!
My name is Sarah Panzetta and I've been a Fertility UK fertility awareness practitioner since 2011. I also work for an NHS mental health trust but that's another story.
I love teaching folk about fertility awareness, and learning from those that I work with.
Being able to rely on yourself and your judgement to work out when you are fertile is a powerful and liberating thing.
Of course fertility awareness (also known as natural family planning) is not for everyone but it can be dismissed too quickly. I used to dismiss it myself even though I managed an NHS public health library which was full of information about contraception, HIV and sexual health and gave out this classic fpa leaflet about the method.
I only discovered fertility awareness was a reasonable contraceptive option when a work friend told me about it after a pill scare. Until then I thought it was only for Catholics who wanted loads of babies. I didn't know it was an important part of feminist history.
After using it for ten years to avoid and plan (one) pregnancy I decided to train as a teacher so I could help others learn how to use it.
So here I am, to cut a long story short, full of knowledge, training and experience, and ready to help!

* Being a Fertility UK practitioner means I base my teaching on a simplified version of Sensiplan which is mentioned in this BMJ update on fertility awareness based methods of contraception. I think the Fertility UK approach is probably more effective that Sensiplan because it's easier, quicker and cheaper to learn - and considerably less hassle to use.

What people say...
"Sarah is a fantastic teacher and a wonderful open-minded individual to confide in....I would have found it much more difficult and would have been very hesitant to try this method without Sarah...I feel like the person I used to be." (Maria)
"Thank you, thank you so much for your wonderful talk and imparting of knowledge. You created such a wonderfully safe space for all questions and fears to come to light." (Wolf Whistled North - feminist group) Read more about people's experience of FAM and working with me...
