Restorative approach to fertility

Melissa was introduced to me by one of her colleagues and this conversation delivers on all notes.  If you have been wanting fertility tips, or wanting to get off birth control with a reliable birth control method this is the episode to hear. Melissa breaks down how to chart your cycle, when you should seek outside help for fertility approaches, and how to safely come off birth control without having an accidental pregnancy.

Background on Melissa

Melissa Buchan believes that a well-charted menstrual cycle is a powerful daily empowerment practice. Fifteen years in the Fertility Awareness arena, her passion for coaching and advocating for women and couples paved the path to her new program Chart Your Cycle, and online coaching platform empowering women around the world to know their bodies, confidently practice natural birth control, navigate infertility, and advocate for their own restorative reproductive healthcare.
The first Neo Fertility Advisor in the United States and a Duke trained Integrative Health Coach, Melissa uses a coaching framework to help women create a well-charted cycle that serves as a diagnostic tool to investigate the root cause of reproductive and hormonal imbalance issues. She helps her clients build a web of support with clinicians who take a restorative approach to women's healthcare and she partners with her clients to create a customized plan of action for meaningful lifestyle shifts that optimize health and wellbeing.

    LEarn My Story

    My work is rooted in the belief that healing is not linear, but cyclical—like the seasons, like the womb. I help women reclaim their vitality through the sacred tools of Ayurveda, embodied movement, and intuitive rituals drawn from Mother Nature herself.

    After the birth of my first son in 2016, Ayurveda became more than a practice—it became my lifeline. The postpartum window cracked me open and reoriented my path, deepening my devotion to supporting women in every season of life—from the fertile soil of postpartum to the sacred shifts of midlife.

    I’m also the host of the Peaceful Power Podcast, where I explore how ancient wisdom meets modern life, and the author of two books on cyclical living—Divine Body Wisdom and Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Your Menstrual Cycle.

    When I’m not in sacred space with clients, you can find me playing tennis, watching Hallmark mysteries, sipping my morning coffee with reverence, or adventuring on nature trails with my two boys and husband. 

    an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor & Postpartum Doula, 500 HR Yoga Teacher, and Personal Trainer who has been guiding women back to their inner rhythms since 2007.
