Learn More About the Creighton Model

How does the Creighton Model Work?

The Creighton model for fertility appreciation focuses on understanding cervical mucus biomarkers. The data you collect from your daily observations of these biomarkers will inform NaPro trained doctors of any underlying fertility risks and help them find an appropriate evidence-based treatments.

How does Luminous Support You?

To the learn the Creighton Model we offer an in-person Introductory Session at our center. This intro to Creighton is taught by a Certified FertilityCare Practitioner and will provide you with an overview of how the method works and how it can be tailored to your specific reproductive health challenges or family planning goals. It is the foundation for learning the method and an introduction - but is not sufficient for a true understanding of how to use the model.
After the Introductory Session, you have the option to receive 1:1 private remote coaching in order to start learning the charting method. While the charting takes place independently, the coaching is meant to support you in gaining confidence in the method as well as your unique biomarkers.

 

It typically takes 4 sessions for a client to feel comfortable with charting, so this is our recommended minimum. However, the system is designed to be learned over the course of 8 sessions. Your practitioner will also continue to be available to you for support for as long as you need.

Is the Creighton Model Effective?

Creighton is highly effective. The last official study was conducted in 1998 by the Saint Paul VI Institute and cited 99% effectiveness.
