Expert Profile: Brigid Kowalczyk

Expertise: Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to conceive. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.

Experience in the area
I like being able to help people find alternatives to artificial birth control. I am not a doctor or a medical person. I cannot answer medical questions.

Organizations
National Association of Legal Professionals, (NALS). Couple to Couple League (www.ccli.org - national organization for NFP)

Education/Credentials
Medical Assisting diploma, Bachelor of Arts, Associate of Applied Science in Legal Studies.

Awards and Honors
College graduate with high honors; high school graduate with highest honors;

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: The divorce rate is practically non-existent for couples who use NFP instead of artificial contraception to space their children. NFP can also be used to help couples achieve pregnancy when there is a problem. You do not need medical training or assistance to use NFP.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Contraception is a great selfishness! Is it not at or near the root of our culture’s inability to sustain any deeply personal generosity, not to mention marriage and family life? It leads to disease (think of STDs), poverty (think of abandoned women), murder (think of abortion) and attitudes which engender conflicts of every kind?

What do you like about this subject? Natural Family Planning helps you know your body and understand health and illness as well as fertility. It is a wonderful tool to use for all women and for the men who love them.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I would like to learn how to be more convincing and compelling to help more people understand and believe in the empowerment that NFP brings to their lives.
