About ME... Why do I teach the Creighton Model?
Kelly Castleberry, BBA, FCP
FertilityCare Practitioner
I have been married for 19 years to my wonderful husband Mark. In the early years of our marriage, we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility and turned to IUI and IVF. We ended up with no living children and without answers as to why we were experiencing infertility. During these early years, we lost a number of embryos and suffered from an early miscarriage. The lack of compassion from our Reproductive Endocrinologists and staff left me feeling lost and alone. We walked away from IVF and were very angry for a long time.
After adopting a son at birth, we finally experienced a full term pregnancy and I gave birth to a daughter. In the years that have followed, we have desired to grow our family, and that desire lead us to the Creighton Model FertilityCare System and NaProTECHNOLOGY. Because our FertilityCare Practitioner and NaProTECHNOLOGY medical consultant gave us answers, renewed hope, compassion, and what seemed like unlimited time, I wanted to help women and couples heal from their infertility and so I began working as a FertilityCare Practitioner in 2016.
In June 2018, I started learning how to teach FEMM and TeenFEMM. In July, I attended my first annual meeting for the International Institute for Restorative Reproductive Medicine and the American Academy of FertilityCare Professionals. In August, I was hired part time as the Patient Educator a new GYN practice in Atlanta. In October, I will apply for certification with both the AAFCP and FEMM and will join Organic Conceptions as a certified partner.
I love to help couples after a diagnosis of infertility through a process of investigation into the root cause of their infertility, so they can advocate for themselves, and rapidly seek medical help because the root cause is not only causing their infertility, but is affecting their past, present, and future health.
