Shannon Leach is a mom of five and lives with her husband and children in Everett, WA. She has been an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) since 2011. Throughout Shannon’s varied nursing jobs, her greatest passion has always been women’s health, in part because she struggled with her own fertility for years. Thankfully, she was blessed with five children. Because she was never introduced to cycle charting or fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs) during her own struggles–and was told that IVF was the only option–she now looks forward to education patients about their own cycles and helping them know when to advocate for their own health.
