Hello and welcome to FiatNFP!

My name is Jackie Gorman.  I am a wife of 19 years, mother of two beautiful boys, a Marquette Method Certified Professional, and the founder of FiatNFP.  My husband and I have been using the Marquette Method in our marriage for over 17 years and I have been instructing on the method for 10 years.  We have used the method to both avoid and achieve pregnancy successfully.  It has always worked for our family planning intentions without a hiccup.

Marquette Method instructors are required to be healthcare professionals.  My educational background includes a B.S. in Kinesiology from Kansas State University and a Master of Physician Assistant degree from Wichita State University.  I worked full-time for several years as a PA - first, in Cardiology in Wichita, Kansas and then, in Trauma and Critical Care Surgery in Omaha, Nebraska - before relocating to small town Kansas and staying home with our children.

In 2016, I decided to pursue becoming an instructor of the Marquette Method of NFP.  I have been a preceptor for instructors in-training through the Marquette University Institute of NFP since 2021 and am honored to currently serve on the Marquette Method Professional Association Board of Directors as President Elect and also chair the MMPA Practices & Innovations and Governance Committees.  Over the years, I have been blessed to provide instruction to over a thousand clients and couples including those looking to meet marriage prep requirements, navigate the postpartum &/or breastfeeding transition, successfully tackle the perimenopausal time, address infertility concerns, and everything in between.

Back in 2009, I converted to Catholicism.  We stopped oral contraceptives and committed to natural family planning.  Change can be scary!  I understand first-hand that opting to pursue a natural means of achieving or avoiding pregnancy can be a complicated, stressful, and anxiety-provoking process.  While I cannot promise that it will always be smooth sailing or that it will be incredibly easy (although, often it is!),  I can promise that you will gain a deeper understanding of how your body works with each cycle using the Marquette Method.  I can also assure you that the knowledge of your hormone changes will help provide confidence as you work toward achieving your family planning intentions.  I am committed to helping you be successful as you commit to change.

I hope that you will grow to love the Marquette Method as I do, and I look forward to supporting you throughout your NFP journey! 

Blessings,
