Introducing the only clinically proven program--steeped in ancient Chinese healing traditions--that has enabled hundreds of infertile couples to conceive.

At Wu's Healing Center in San Francisco, miracles are happening. Women and their partners come to the clinic--often from across the country-- to fulfill a passionately held yet fragile dream: to conceive and deliver the healthy baby that mainstream doctors have told them they cannot have. Using traditional Chinese medical techniques, sometimes integrated with Western fertility treatments, Dr. Angela Wu is helping these couples experience the miracle of birth.

In this book, Dr. Wu details a proven 6-part self-care regimen that helps create the internal harmony and balance vital to conception. Her techniques not only enhance the results and reduce the side effects of in vitro and other Western fertility treatments, they also shorten labor and speed postpartum recovery. Babies benefit too, adopting regular sleep patterns more quickly and getting sick less frequently.

At a time when one in five U.S. couples is struggling with fertility problems, this practical and uplifting volume, filled with the inspirational stories of Dr. Wu's grateful patients, will be a godsend.

ANGELA C. WU, LAC, OMD, is the founder and former director of the Chinese Healing Studies program at San Francisco State University. Currently she is an instructor in the masters nursing program at the University of California - San Francisco, where she teaches her unique approach to fertility treatment. She also runs a thriving clinic in San Francisco's Chinatown.

Dr. wu's collaborators, Kathleen Antilla and Betsy Brown, each have more than 20 years' writing and editing experience. Katherine resides in California's Napa Valley; Betsy is from San Francisco.
