Creighton Model

“Dr. Whelan does a magical job of taking the complex science of reproductive medicine and breaking it down into unique and easily digestible lessons. She provided a comfortable and respectful opportunity for my husband and I to learn my body in ways that really brought us closer and helped us to share the responsibilities of reproductive health without having to use hormonal birth control. When we decided to switch our intention from avoiding to achieving pregnancy, it was a seamless process and we were able to conceive in only 3 months! Thank you Dr. Whelan! We are so grateful for your wisdom and guidance!”

“With Dr. Jessica, We have learned so much about the miracle that takes place in the human body week after week month after month. We have grown in deeper admiration and respect for each other. Today we can make informed decisions while being responsible parents.”

“After years of experiencing painful periods and high anxiety during my cycle, I learned about Dr. Jessica’s practice and the Creighton Model. The Creighton Model is both life-changing and empowering. It has given me the skills to confidently understand my fertility, hormones, and cycle. Not only is Dr. Jessica compassionate, but she is also a great listener. Through charting, we discovered I had a hormone imbalance and she prescribed the necessary supplements. Within a day of taking the supplements, my mood and sleep improved. I would highly recommend working with Jessica and learning the Creighton Model.”

Fertility Awareness

“When I was in my twenties, I sought – and could not easily find – natural healthcare pertaining to my sexuality. I desired to manage my own fertility based on science, without chemical birth control, and I got no support in that area with traditional OB/GYN, since the doctors were not trained in that area. That was frustrating, the feeling of being railroaded to pharmaceutical birth control which I didn’t want – and did not use. Thankfully, through the Catholic Medical Center of New Hampshire, I was able to receive training in natural methods of fertility based on what’s known as the Creighton Model (Based on research from Creighton University-related programs). It is amazing! For the ten-year period over which we spaced out our children, that is the method that I used, based on the knowledge I learned about the procreative cycle. Although I am finished having my beautiful babies, I have been so fortunate to recently meet Dr. Jessica Whelan. Dr. Whelan is thoroughly trained in Fertility science based on the Creighton Model, and it is SO affirming to know that she is here in Vermont and able to provide this whole healthcare which is very empowering to women. She understands that women’s bodies are amazingly designed, and don’t need to be managed by chemicals and devices – that knowledge and understanding is the answer! I encourage you to find out more about Dr. Whelan, she is the finest doctor that I have ever met in my entire life, and has good news to share that especially benefits women.”

“Dr. Jessica Whelan has made a huge difference to me, by helping me to approach my health from a whole health perspective. When there were concepts that she shared with me, she sketched them out, literally, and shared the science behind it. She worked with me through challenges that I was facing from my thyroid, maintaining my ideal weight, sexual health, energy issues, and approaching staying healthy and active as a whole, with the added phase of approaching menopause. Dr. Whelan is really effective at sharing solutions to my health based on my whole self – it truly is all tied in together. Additionally, I admire that she challenges me, with a lot of grace, in areas where I really needed to make some changes that were not easy, changes that have helped me be even kinder to myself by these steps. When you see Dr. Whelan, you get incredible care and follow up as well, for a reasonable cost that is more than worth it. I highly recommend Dr. Whelan for women and men of all ages, if you’d like to see improvements in your overall health and well being. She’s an incredible gift to Vermonters!”

Low energy, fatigue, PMS, migraines, and heavy bleeding all improved!

After my 5th child was born, I knew I was struggling with my health. I could tell from the symptoms that I was experiencing and from my charting that I had some challenges in the area of women’s health, such as low energy and frequent fatigue, PMS, migraines, heavy bleeding as well as other health issues. I had put off seeing a doctor about some of these problems because I did not want to take pharmaceuticals or use an IUD, which had been the only suggested solution by my local OBGYN.

Around that time, I learned of Dr. Jessica and how she treats naturopathic medicine using NaPro technology and the Creighton Model system. I knew right away that this was a really wonderful combination of skills that had the potential to help many women and couples.

Dr. Jessica helped me for 3 months with non-pharmaceutical and non-surgical suggestions for all of my health concerns. After 3 months of committing to making changes in my diet, lifestyle, and supplements, I am on a much better road to health. The severity of my symptoms has decreased, and I am experiencing more energy. Perhaps even more importantly than that, I have a clear and specific roadmap for self-care that I can continue for the rest of my days. I am very grateful for her help. Thank you so much, Dr. Jessica!

Getting my Body back after the Pill and Healing after Hormonal Birth Control: improved bloating, acne, allergies.

Dr. Whelan’s expertise was a game-changer for me. Struggling with hormone and fertility issues after years on birth control, I felt stuck. Dr. Whelan’s approach tackled my bloating, acne, and weight gain. What impressed me most was her genuine care from our first call. She listened, understood, and offered tailored solutions, making me feel acknowledged and that I wasn’t imagining things. It made me feel understood and safe.

Since working with her, my cycles have been more regular, a sign of improved fertility. My husband and I also started tracking our fertility via the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System. This Program has improved our marriage and has empowered me to understand my body better. Dr. Whelan armed me with tools and knowledge, making it a safe space to address concerns and find solutions. I highly recommend her Healthy Hormone program; it’s been an invaluable investment in my health and well-being.

PCOS, Heavy and Irregular bleeding, Anxiety, Gut issues, fatigue – all improved!

Before I started working with Dr Whelan, I was dealing with irregular cycles, a lot of digestive issues, anxiety, and fatigue. I also had a couple of scary episodes with really heavy bleeding and continuous bleeding for a couple of months.

I realized I needed some focused help that a typical OB/GYN wouldn’t be able to offer. When a friend told me about Dr Whelan, it felt like a God-send.
Working with Dr Whelan has been enormously beneficial to my life. We worked on gut healing, mental health, and hormonal balance. I’ve had an incredible change in my mood, with much less anxiety/depression, and more stable energy.

My lifelong digestive issues have greatly improved, which is super exciting. Also, the heavy menstrual bleeding has lightened, and my periods are getting more regular.
None of this would have been possible without Dr Whelan’s detailed and personal approach. I loved learning how everything in my body is connected. The many empowering ways to care for my own health have been invaluable.

I have been recommending this program to so many of my friends!

“I got my life back” after super painful periods and heavy bleeding.

Before the Healthy Hormone Program, my periods were very painful and bleeding was very heavy. My gut health was not great. I was kind of living a life that I was scared of. I was scared to go day to day, worrying about pain, worrying about when my period was going to start, not knowing what that would look like for me when it did start that month.

I knew I was really stuck and needed help. Before, I didn’t really have any answers and didn’t want to get back on birth control, as that’s as that’s always been pushed by other doctors that I’ve seen. I just knew I didn’t want to do that to my body again.

My life has changed since working in the Healthy Hormone program! I have much easier periods and better gut health. I know now what I’m putting into my body and how I’m fueling my body. I’m sleeping a lot better and I’m not scared to live day to day anymore. Even knowing that my period is approaching, I’m able to go out and live my life, without being scared of what that day is going to look like for me.

In addition to the Healthy Hormone Program, my husband and I also started the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System charting with Dr. Whelan. My husband has been able to understand my body more as a female, and that has really helped our relationship together. I’ve been able to track when my ovulation occurs and when my period is going to come. This knowledge makes everything a lot better. I’m so much more connected to my body and at peace.

I would suggest all my friends who are dealing with painful periods or infertility, to work with Dr. Whelan in the Creighton Model and in the Healthy Hormone program. These programs have changed my life. Dr. Whelan is so caring, really listens, and is very encouraging. The programs have helped not only me but also my husband and I as a couple.

Severe PMS – anxiety, mood swings, fatigue, irritability – insomnia, and bloating – all improved!

Before working with Dr. Whelan in the healthy hormone program, I had severe PMS, with anxiety, mood swings, depression, severe fatigue and irritability. I had acne, insomnia, a lot of bloating and digestive issues.

Since I’ve worked in with Dr. Whelan in the healthy hormone program I have had increased energy. I can go to sleep and stay asleep for 6 to 8 h every night. I feel refreshed when I wake up. My skin has cleared up, my mood swings have almost completely dissolved. I definitely have less bloating and Gi issues and a lot more energy.
I would definitely encourage other woman to do this program. With just a few simple lifestyle changes and supplements, I felt like a new woman. Dr Whelan is really good at knowing what my individual body needs and tailoring the program to my specific needs. I definitely would encourage everybody to do it if you want to feel better and feel better soon!
