Serena Thunder Bay

Serena’s Philosophy

Our philosophy is that every couple can understand their fertility, and that this awareness can provide the information on which they base their family planning decisions and behaviour. Respect for individuals and for human life from conception is central to our philosophy.  We believe that family planning should be available to all people. We teach a method that is inexpensive, environmentally friendly and helps you to protect your health.

Team Work

Serena’s success is largely due to the teamwork of our dynamic and passionate members, which include teacher couples, coordinators, collaborators, medical advisors and staff. We recognize the tireless efforts of hundreds of volunteer teacher-couples, as well as many collaborators and coordinators who generously give of their time to share and teach this knowledge.

Medical

Serena is honoured by the long commitment of one of our medical advisors, Dr. Suzanne Parenteau-Carreau, who is a world-respected fertility researcher and a vital part of our team. The method we have today has largely been developed and refined by Dr. Suzanne. She continues to develop and review our technical materials, in conjunction with a medical advisory committee.  Serena has also been involved in consultations with other NFP organizations and professional agencies both within Canada and internationally. Serena’s expertise and experience are well recognized throughout the world.

Our Goal

At Serena our goal is to continue to stay at the forefront of scientific development to better understand the female cycle and how this relates to fertility.  We review scientific research constantly and refine the method as appropriate. Research advances have led to the accurate, comprehensive and improved symptothermal method that we teach today. We are continuing to strive to adapt to the needs of today’s women and couples to provide teaching that is accessible to all.
