The Creighton Model - A Natural Family Planning Method

CreightonModel.com outlines the basics of the Creighton Model FertilityCare System as “based upon a couple’s knowledge and understanding of their naturally-occurring phases of fertility and infertility. Through this understanding, the couple is able to make decisions (choices) regarding the achievement or avoidance of pregnancy. This system provides information which deals with the complete dimension of the procreative ability. In addition, it provides women the added benefit of being able to monitor and maintain their procreative and gynecologic health over a lifetime. It is truly the only family planning system which has networked family planning with gynecologic and procreative healthcare and health maintenance. The teachers of the CrMS are trained allied health professionals and specifically-trained physicians have been educated to incorporate the CrMS into their medical practice.”

Our team consults clients with many different backgrounds and goals, from couples looking for natural and organic methods as an alternative to harmful and unnatural birth control options to couples struggling with conceiving seeking a way grow their families. Some priests recommend or require Natural Family Planning services as part of their Pre-Cana classes.
