Do I need to be Catholic to use Creighton/NaPro or see an RRM clinician?

No. The Creighton Model FertilityCare System, NaProTechnology, and RRM are evidence-based medical systems available to people of all faiths and backgrounds.

The Creighton Model is a standardized fertility awareness method developed through decades of scientific research. While it originated within Catholic healthcare institutions, the system itself is based on objective biological markers that work the same way regardless of religious beliefs. Many secular health systems, universities, and independent practices now teach CrMS and offer NaProTechnology services.

RRM clinics serve patients from diverse religious backgrounds, including those who identify as secular, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, and others. The focus is on understanding reproductive health through cycle charting and addressing underlying conditions through medical treatment. Personal values guide how individuals apply this knowledge.

• The Creighton Model was developed at Creighton University through standardized research protocols and is taught at secular institutions
• Studies on CrMS effectiveness include participants regardless of religious affiliation
• Many non-Catholic health systems integrate fertility awareness methods into their reproductive health services

RRM Approach to Inclusivity

RRM clinicians focus on medical education and treatment options rather than prescriptive family planning guidance. Thorough information about reproductive health allows couples to make informed decisions aligned with their own values. This includes discussing available contraceptive options, fertility treatments, and family planning approaches during care.

The clinical protocols for diagnosing and treating conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, or recurrent pregnancy loss are the same regardless of background. How individuals choose to apply this knowledge in their reproductive decisions varies by person.

RRM provides evidence-based reproductive healthcare through fertility awareness and restorative treatments accessible to couples of all backgrounds who want to understand and optimize their reproductive health.
