Emily Claire

I am New Zealand born and bred with a Bachelor of Health Science in Midwifery, Natural Fertility Educator Accreditation, and Yoga teacher certification. I practise part-time as a Registered Midwife in a primary birthing unit and am the founder of Phase Fertility, where I teach cycle literacy to help people achieve or prevent pregnancy naturally. Additionally, I occasionally teach yoga classes.

I trained to teach the Sympto-Thermal Method (STM) of contraception and conception with Natural Fertility New Zealand (NFNZ) in 2016.

I have been personally using the STM for contraception and body awareness for seven years. This knowledge enriches my life by empowering me to live in harmony with my natural physiology.

My curiosity of the female reproductive system also led me into four years of midwifery study!

I trained as a yoga teacher in 2015, which complements my passion for facilitating people to embody and thrive in their innate physiology.

I love sharing fertility awareness knowledge and I look forward to working with you.

    I had 3 appointments with Emily learn the Symptothermal method, and she is absolutely incredible!! She has such a wealth of knowledge and makes charting so easy to understand, plus she is so lovely to chat with! I would highly recommend booking in with Emily if you want to chart your cycle - she makes you feel so guided and secure. Thank you so much!!

    Honestly working with Emily was simply fantastic. Her explanation, information and answering of all my questions was clear, concise and super easy to understand. I started with Emily after tracking my cycle (self-taught) for a year and never feeling I could really get the hang of it. The information was adapted to help me brush up on things I already knew, and I learnt lots more! I've come away from our sessions with a super clear understanding of how to track my signs, chart them, and interpret/mark my chart for effective avoidance of pregnancy. I highly recommend working with Emily, no matter where you are on your fertility tracking journey. I feel very inspired and engaged, and hope to join Emily in this field in the future. Thank you!
