Is Cycle Genius what you're looking for?
"Lydia is a wonderful and dedicated tutor! I came into this course totally blank about hormones! Now I can even read charts! I feel so empowered! The teaching was so personalized and engaging. Lydia provides so much information that is accessible, and easy to understand. FEMM is also a brilliant starting point if you want to understand your hormones in depth, track your cycles, and notice anything of concern."

Meet Lydia
Hey, it's great to meet you! I’m Lydia, the founder of Altogether Beautiful Health, and the face behind the Cycle Genius Course. I'm a wife and mama, certified FEMM educator, health coach, and believer in your God-given feminine genius. I absolutely love coaching women like you towards a better understanding of the power of female fertility, and a love of authentic femininity.
I’ve struggled with hormone imbalance and cycle problems since puberty. I was given the Pill and told I'd never conceive naturally. But I didn't accept that answer, and I found a solution that is so much better for my health on all levels!
Fertility awareness has given me the knowledge and confidence to listen to my body, to work towards health, and to advocate for the treatment that’s best for me. It’s also empowered me and my husband to plan our family without being enslaved to hormonal birth control methods and all the negative side-effects they bring with them.
And I want that for you, too.
I’m here because it’s my passion to give women the tools they need to confidently take charge of their fertility and use their body knowledge to pursue holistic health.
Your body is amazing, and your femininity is a gift!
Let’s discover it together, friend.
"Lydia is an excellent and caring instructor. She is knowledgeable, explains things very clearly, and genuinely wants to help you learn and understand the session material. I found her to be very approachable and patient, encouraging questions and offering suggestions and feedback throughout and in between our sessions."
-Annelise, Coaching Client
