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

Hospital visits, calendar watching, disheartening test results and scheduled sex can make trying for a baby a stressful experience, and research shows the strain put on couples and individuals struggling with infertility can impact on the likelihood of a successful conception.

With an approach that puts mind-body health and wellbeing at the heart of fertility, this supportive and practical book by top Fertility Counsellor and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapist Ann Bracken gives help and guidance on how to reduce stress and have a more empowered fertility journey. Mind Body Baby also provides helpful advice on natural and medical fertility treatment approaches and how to choose the best options to meet your needs.

Focusing on mindfulness-based stress reduction and cognitive behavioural (CBT) approaches, which have been scientifically proven to help overcome the stress and low mood associated with fertility issues, the author suggests simple, effective step-by-step exercises to help readers improve their mind and body fertility health and optimise their chances of a positive pregnancy.
