This life affirming and potentially life changing book considers how the mind and positive thinking can improve fertility and help to resolve a number of problems related to fertility.

The hypnosis scripts are engaging and well-constructed, and deal in a straightforward way with a range of complex and emotional issues. The CD that accompanies the book provides a helpful summary of the scripts and additional resources, such as visualizations.

The book is well-structured and written in a non-technical style that will appeal to all readers, whether they are experts in the field or not. The author clearly signposts the key stages of treatment and is not afraid to tackle traumatic life events such as termination, miscarriage, and still-birth.
Section B clearly describes how a broad- based holistic approach can solve many problems related to psychogenic infertility and these are well illustrated with interesting and believable case-studies.

For couples who are trying to conceive this book offers hope and some very practical advice in relation to fertility enhancement. The IVF session plans are particularly illuminating and clearly show that there are many paths to parenthood, not just one.
