FFP 312 | Fertility Awareness for Teenagers? | Chloe Skerlak

Chloe Skerlak is wildly passionate about the menstrual cycle! She is a Justisse Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and Certified Fertility Awareness Educator. When she's not hosting fertility awareness charting circles, teaching charting online, or taking photos of cervixes, she facilitates Period Positivity Workshops for parents and pre-teens because she believes body literacy is for everyone and every age.
