For comprehensive support through fertility and assisted reproduction.

You are planning to have a child, perhaps already trying, either naturally or through medical assistance; this book guides you along the path to parenthood.

Charlotte Guth-Latrasse, a nurse and Traditional Chinese Medicine therapist, offers her perspective on fertility by exploring the complementarity between medicine and natural methods. She provides keys to optimising your chances of seeing your project through. For prospective parents going through Assisted Reproductive Technology, this book supports you throughout the process to maximise your chances of success.

You will find explanations about conception and infertility from both a physiological standpoint and the lens of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), clarifications on the different stages of an infertility work-up and ART cycle, interviews with professionals (osteopaths, hypnotherapist, yoga teacher, dietician, naturopath), plenty of advice for boosting fertility, tools to manage stress, and testimonies from couples about what helped them along the way.

The book also includes a fertility yoga session in photos and video, a guided meditation and acupressure points to massage (with videos to help you locate them). Its aim is to help you approach this particular period with serenity. By making your body an ally, you will place yourself back at the centre of your parental project and become an active player in your journey.
