Michal Schonbrun is a reproductive health educator, consultant, and trainer based in Israel who specializes in the Sympto-Thermal Method (STM) of fertility awareness, breastfeeding, contraception and achieving pregnancy, sexuality, and holistic self-care. She works with diverse clients around the world, leading workshops and offering private consultations from home and online.
What should women know about their biological clock, subfertility, and the limitations of assisted reproductive technology? These are some of the topics we cover in this episode–the first of many conversations we hope to have about the very complex subjects of body literacy and fertility.
