FEMM was honored to be invited to SEEK 2025—an annual conference for young adults organized by the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. From January 1-5, tens of thousands of young people convened in Salt Lake City, Utah for a week of prayer, fellowship, and inspiring talks by dozens of speakers.
During the conference, thousands of young women stopped by the FEMM booth and attended a talk by our founder and CEO, Anna Halpine.
Conference attendees learned that FEMM cares for a wide range of health issues including acne, PCOS, depression and mood swings, weight gain, and irregular bleeding. Our staff talked with women about the difference between common symptoms during a cycle and symptoms that are physiologically normal. Our conversations highlighted the confusion that still surrounds reproductive health. For instance, many people took a quiz at our booth about women’s health. When asked if painful periods were normal, most women said yes—and couldn’t believe it when we told them it actually isn’t normal.
Many women were also interested in learning about FEMM’s telehealth option. They were excited to discover that FEMM takes most forms of insurance and that they can receive care while at home or even school. When FEMM accepts their insurance, there are no out-of-pocket expenses—so FEMM healthcare is accessible to people from a wide variety of financial backgrounds.
We also fielded many questions about the FEMM app. In particular, women wanted to know if they could transfer data from another app to FEMM’s. They were happy when we said yes, as many period tracker apps paywall information or provide commentary that women don’t want. Conference attendees learned that it’s easy and free to start using the FEMM app, and that they can use the app to connect with FEMM healthcare providers. We also met many women who already use the FEMM app, and were honored to hear stories of how FEMM has helped them achieve greater health.
“It was exciting to meet so many young women who are actively trying to understand their bodies and take control of their health and well-being,” says Anna Halpine. “Our time at SEEK showed that people are tired of the status quo in women’s healthcare and that there’s a huge demand for the FEMM model of care, and for greater fertility awareness.”
