Mind Body Baby

After 20 years of supporting fertility patients I am convinced that an integrated mind-body approach delivers the best outcome. Ann has a practical and compassionate approach, as demonstrated in her brilliant new book. It is a much-needed antidote on the all-too-often stressful and soul-searching path to parenthood. I will be recommending it to my fertility patients. - Emma Cannon, integrated fertility and pregnancy expert, acupuncturist and author of The Baby-Making Bible
