All Twin Cities FertilityCare™ practitioners have completed an extensive training program in the Creighton Model and have fulfilled all course requirements to teach with Twin Cities FertilityCare Center™. Aside from knowing the Creighton Model professionally, our practitioners are proud users of Creighton to either achieve or avoid pregnancy or to monitor reproductive health. Collectively we have over 50 years of teaching experience.

Twin Cities FertilityCare Practitioners teach throughout the Twin Cities metro area. Get to know a Practitioner by signing up for a Creighton Model Introductory Session.

Jamie Keis, CFCP and Responsible Practitioner, began teaching the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ system in 2019. She and her husband, Charlie, learned the Creighton Model through Twin Cities FertilityCare™ Center during their own engagement. They married in 2016 and when beginning their family they suffered multiple miscarriages. Charting with Creighton helped them quickly realize there was an issue maintaining pregnancies and, thankfully, a natural solution. They now have three children and enjoy teaching others about this wonderful method to help women understand their bodies. Jamie enjoys cheering on the Vikings, snowboarding, playing strategy board games, and going camping with her family.

Alice Schwantes, FCP & Office Manager has a background rich in the sciences and a passion for helping women become their own health advocates. She has always sought out natural remedies and was thrilled to discover the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System’s balance between innovative science and the natural beauty of a women’s reproductive cycle. She has used the system to monitor her own health since 2018 and looks forward to teaching others to do the same. Alice holds degrees from Gustavus Adolphus College and Hamline University. She became a FertilityCare™ Practitioner Intern in 2020. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, gardening, do-it-yourself projects, and time spent with friends and family. She is most at home in the kitchen, however, preparing healthy food from local ingredients.

Sami Conway, CFCP began teaching the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System in 2020 and has been using Creighton both to achieve and avoid pregnancy since she got married in 2016. Throughout the introductory and follow-up sessions, Sami learned so much about her body and feels that every woman has the right to know the beauty and complexity of her body. She lives in Chaska, MN with her husband and two children. Outside of teaching Creighton to women and couples Sami also teaches 5th grade in New Prague, MN. In her rare moments of free time, Sami likes to read anything from children’s books to non-fiction essays. She also enjoys spending time with family, playing strategic board games, and finding new ways to make salads more interesting.

Natalie Caza, FCP is originally from the Twin Cites and now lives in Cambridge, Minnesota with her husband and three children. After witnessing the many fruits of the Creighton Model both in her own marriage and in the lives of so many others she decided to begin teaching to share this method. She is passionate about the need for women and families to have a safe and effective means to monitor and evaluate their fertility. She also enjoys music, going for walks, and lazy days with her family.
