Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Sara.

I’m so Glad you’re here.

I'm a wife, mother, nurse, and Marquette Method Certified Professional (MMCP). I’m deeply passionate about helping couples like you truly understand your fertility and confidently navigate your family planning journey with the Marquette Method of Natural Family Planning (NFP). I help women and couples understand their fertility, plan their families with confidence, and care for their health—naturally, intentionally, and fully informed. I'm here to offer you evidence-based, individualized support that goes beyond simply charting and is solidly rooted in science.

My Marquette Instructor Journey

My personal journey with the Marquette Method began over five years ago, when my husband and I were married. We’ve used the Marquette Method for the entirety of our marriage through various fertility transitions and love its objectivity and simplicity. For me, it also became a crucial tool in identifying and addressing my own underlying health issues. This profound experience, combined with my professional background as an ICU nurse and my work with electronic health records, brings a unique blend of compassionate clinical understanding and strong technological expertise to my NFP instruction.

I completed my comprehensive training with the Marquette University Institute for Natural Family Planning under Dr. Mary Schneider and Marquette Method founder Dr. Richard Fehring. Since then, I've had the pleasure of teaching diverse couples here in Florida, around the country, and internationally, helping them master both the classic Clearblue and the new Mira monitors, no matter their unique circumstances. In 2022, I became the first certified Marquette Method Professional (MMCP) in Florida, completing certification in the initial exam offering.

Beyond one-on-one coaching, my passion for the Marquette Method extends to strengthening the wider Marquette Method community. I previously served as the Student and Preceptor Manager for Marquette University Institute of Natural Family Planning, where my attention to detail helped foster student success and advance the method. I also contributed to the growth and strength of the Marquette Method Professional Association (MMPA), where I’ve currently been serving as Treasurer on the Board of Directors since our inaugural year in 2021. Additionally, as an NFP speaker for the Diocese of Palm Beach, I have the honor of sharing my personal journey—including its challenges and triumphs—with engaged couples, openly discussing how the Marquette Method has impacted my life and family.

Beyond Marquette

When I'm not immersed in the world of NFP, you'll find me enjoying life in South Florida with my husband, our two children, and our golden retriever. Most days, I'm living my dream as a stay-at-home-mother; my children are my greatest joy. Beyond my family and Marquette, you'll often find me unwinding with a good book over hot tea, whipping up a treat in the kitchen (ask me for my key lime pie recipe!), planning our next family trip, or out scuba diving with my husband. I love hiking, kayaking, fresh air, and just being outside. My favorite place I’ve traveled has been the Scottish Highlands because of the amazing hiking. Sparkling water is my love language! I truly adore the Marquette Method and the incredible couples I get to serve, and I'm always eager to contribute to this vital and growing community.

Every session is personalized—whether you're using the Clearblue Fertility Monitor, the Mira tracker, or simply trying to understand your body more deeply.

My approach prioritizes informed decision-making, individualized care, and evidence-based recommendations for your long-term guidance. You'll leave our sessions with more than just a method—you'll gain a clear understanding of your fertility, practical tools to use every day, and the confidence to make decisions for your health and your family’s future.

I love building lasting relationships with the women and couples I serve, walking with them through every season of their fertility journey—from transition, celebration, and challenge. Whether you're brand new to NFP or facing a difficult chapter, I'm here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and a genuine desire to see you thrive.

  • I've personally relied on the Marquette Method through a wide range of fertility circumstances in my own life. My husband and I have used it during regular cycles to avoid pregnancy, and also during a challenging time of infertility while trying to conceive. I've navigated the complexities of using Marquette postpartum while breastfeeding and even while partially pumping and supplementing with formula, as well as after experiencing miscarriage. Through these varied seasons, I've gained firsthand experience with both the Clearblue Fertility Monitor and the Mira tracker, which deeply informs my ability to guide you through your unique situation.
