Julia Gilak
Hi there, I’m Julia! I’m a registered nurse with a background in critical care, having spent many years working in the ICU. I’ve always had a deep passion for helping others, whether in a medical setting or in my personal life. However, my path took a new direction when I started growing my own family. Becoming a mom shifted my perspective on healthcare, family planning, and the kind of work I wanted to do.
After starting my family, I found myself drawn to Natural Family Planning (NFP), and more specifically, the Marquette Method. I was eager to learn more about a method that aligned with my personal values and medical background. The Marquette Method combines scientific fertility monitoring with personalized care, making it a great option for couples seeking a hormone-free, effective way to achieve or avoid pregnancy. I realized that my background in healthcare, paired with my experience as a mom, would allow me to help others navigate this method in a way that is compassionate, evidence-based, and empowering.
Today, as a Marquette Method NFP instructor, I’m passionate about guiding women and couples through their fertility journey. Whether you’re trying to conceive or space your children, I offer personalized support to help you understand your body and work with your natural cycles. I believe in the importance of informed decision-making when it comes to family planning and reproductive health, and I’m committed to providing you with the knowledge and tools to make the best choices for your family.
I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate the world of fertility and family planning, especially when there’s so much conflicting information out there. That’s why I take a holistic, compassionate approach in my teaching, ensuring you feel supported and confident every step of the way. My goal is to make the Marquette Method accessible, approachable, and effective for you, and I’m here to answer any questions you may have along the journey.
Whether you’re new to NFP or have been practicing for a while, I’m here to offer guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear. I’m excited to help you take control of your fertility with confidence, clarity, and respect for your body and beliefs.
Thank you for considering me to be part of your family planning journey. I can’t wait to work with you!
