Francesca Naish
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

DCH, MATMS, MANTA, MNHAA<\/strong>
\nFounder & Director of Natural Fertility Management Pty Ltd
\n<\/em><\/strong>Co-director NFMKits Pty Ltd<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Francesca Naish pioneered the specialised methods of Natural Fertility Management in 1975 as a direct result of searching for better ways to manage her own fertility in a climate where reproductive health was increasingly becoming medicalised instead of being viewed as a natural and healthy part of life.<\/p>\n

In addition to her work on contraception and general reproductive health, Francesca is a highly respected pioneer of the concept of ‘preconception health care’, which is now a term in common use throughout both natural and orthodox approaches to fertility and pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Due to the demand for this information, Francesca wrote her first best-selling book Natural Fertility\u00a0<\/em>and has since co-authored, with Janette Roberts, a further four books including The Natural Way to\u2026Better Babies, Better Pregnancy, Better Birth and Bonding <\/em>and\u00a0Better Breastfeeding<\/em>, with international editions published in several countries. With Jane Bennett, Francesca wrote earlier versions of the Natural Fertility Management Kits for Conception and Contraception\u00a0<\/em>in 1992 and 2004.<\/p>\n

Francesca remains at the forefront of the field by engaging in continued research and development of Natural Fertility Management, preconception health care, reproductive health and all associated health modalities. She continues to practice at The Jocelyn Centre and is a popular lecturer and speaker at colleges, seminars and conferences in Australia and overseas. She also appears frequently on radio, TV and print media and has trained many health practitioners nationally and internationally in Natural Fertility Management.<\/p>\n

Francesca has two sons, one stepson and two stepdaughters, and a growing tribe of grandchildren. She lives by the cliffs and crashing waves of Coogee Beach in Sydney.<\/p>\n
