The healing powers of traditional yoga, Oriental medicine, nutrition, and other mind/body techniques are accessible with this do-it-yourself manual for women who are struggling with infertility or just looking to improve their odds of conception. Natural methods based on Integrative Care for Fertility™ use a holistic approach to demonstrate how a home-based holistic fertility program can improve mind, body, and spirit, and in turn maximize chances for conceiving.

This review is from: Fully Fertile: A 12-Week Holistic Plan for Optimal Fertility (Paperback)
For anyone going through the fertility journey, I HIGHLY recommend this book! I have read several books and perused many articles on fertility but this book proved to be the most thorough and holistic. From nutrition to exercise to prayer, it covers every aspect that should be considered while trying to conceive. And even if you're not successful in getting pregnant, the information shared in the book will assist in leading a healthy lifestyle. Thank you, Beth and Tami, for using your gifts and sharing them with others. Namaste.

Fully Fertile,
By caroline davis "Caroline" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fully Fertile: A 12-Week Holistic Plan for Optimal Fertility (Paperback)
Wonderful book and very helpful during a process that feels dangerous, chaotic and completely crazymaking. The book pointed out several ways to approach the fertility process and helped me focus on the positive. I bought the yoga dvd that these women have made as well and am looking into taking a local course developed by Pulling Down the Moon. It is not only worth the money but the valuable time to read.

Excellent book for fertility but also a way of life,

This review is from: Fully Fertile: A 12-Week Holistic Plan for Optimal Fertility (Paperback)
Fully Fertile is an amazing book because it challenged and encouraged me to look at my fertility journey differently. It guided me through easy to follow chapters on meditation, yoga, diet, prayer, etc. that give examples and exercises that can actually be done (for those of us who weren't necessarily comfortable with such things before). I was lucky to be part of the pilot program, and would highly recommend this book to all who are trying to have a baby. For an even better experience I would recommend reading this book with a group of women as a book club so that you can have discussions about the different chapters as you are going through. There are resources in the book to help you find practitioners for different services, and information if you are trying to start a group. Fully Fertile is a heartfelt book that is not only good for fertility preparedness, but also for life.
