FertilityCare Centers International

Diane Daly, co-founder of the Creighton Model FertilityCare System, delivered a keynote on the model’s origins after Humanae Vitae, its development with Dr. Thomas Hilgers and team, and its role as a comprehensive, standardized fertility education and support system. She distinguishes between sexuality and genitality using the SPICE framework (Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Communicative/Creative, Emotional) to promote deeper marital intimacy and love, especially during periods of abstinence. The model is presented as a holistic, ethical, and scientific alternative for natural family planning, achieving pregnancy, and addressing infertility, centered on education, personal accompaniment, and helping couples love more.
