Grounded Perspective on Fertillity

I love this book. I feel like it offers well-rounded advice with the tone and wisdom of a grandma.

great start to fertility!

we don't get to hear in western society much on wholistic hormonal and body care. I adore the incorporation of TCM and spiritual connection.

Fantastic experience

Absolutely enjoyed this amazing book. So much grace, love, care and wisdom. It showed me a completely different perspective which feels like the truth I’ve been looking for🤍

I adore this book and the information included.

Wonderful book full on magnificent information but not at all overwhelming!! I love the perspective and how it focuses on men's part just as much as women's part in conception!!!

Love it!

My first book in the world of fertility and a perfect place to start. Great book!

Well written and organized

I’ve read every book there is to read on fertility. As a former RN from a large fertility clinic , I learned what western medicine had to offer but was not able to give my patients much else . This book outlines how to integrate TCM into your routine. I’m hoping to benefit from this book in my upcoming cycles. I do feel better after having read this book and I recommend to any woman struggling with infertility

Preparing for the Future

I have to say I am very thankful to these ladies. Having a reference on where to start when you are trying to conceive is a blessing. They have references to medical professionals and the pure explanation on a more natural process on preparing for a baby. It’s a great understanding of a Women’s body as well through all the cycles. This is a very impressive book.

Pretty annoying

It’s hard to penetrate the patina of yoga-voice patronizing that is slathered so thickly on this book, though underneath it there might be some useful information. It’s not for those allergic to the Southern California crystal healing, vaguely Native American hipster boho thing, or for those who find the use of the word super (as in, “it’s super effective!) grating. There are some genuine insights here but they get lost in the fluff. Also, the narrative choice to say “we” incessantly makes it sound like the book is written by a cult.

The reader is just awful. She has no inflection - it’s narrated in a dead monotone that I think is meant to sound soothing. If you’re going to read this book, buy the book, don’t listen to it.

Oh and lastly, the authors should use anatomically correct language. There are a couple things like “under the right rib cage” that are inexcusable in a book at least partly about the body. For the record, we only have one rib cage.

Finally the book I have dreamed of!

Thank you so much for writing this book. It truly is such a gift to women in the prep work of trying to get pregnant (which no one talks about). It is full of incredible resources, insights and connection. I can’t recommend it more to all of my community.

Intuitive and nourishing

I loved listening to this book! The content was so helpful and it’s beautifully read.

really enjoyed the information she shares.

I liked the way this book is not just about nutrition and science behind everything..but also the more esoteric or subtle nuances that a woman must become aware during this time.

A must-read for every woman!

This is such a brilliant book - full of wisdom, practical tips and ideas but without any "you must" or "you mustn't." Heng Ou supports women in learning to listen to their bodies and intuitively knowing what they need and how to best look after themselves. There is no one-size-fits-all preaching, only explanations of how our bodies and reproductive system work and gentle lifestyle and dietary suggestions.
I'm already a mum and not planning to conceive again anytime soon, but I discovered "Awakening Fertility" among Audible free listens and thought it looked fascinating. But the book exceeded my expectations. Every woman will richly benefit from reading this book, regardless of whether you want to have kids or are already a mum like me. There is so much information and wisdom about the human body, menstrual cycle and healthy lifestyle. "Awakening Fertility" is a must-read for every woman.
The book is beautifully written and flawlessly narrated, so listening to it was 6 hours of soothing and inspiring bliss! Thank you, Heng Ou!

A Great Listen !

A must read for all women, a real grounding experience to listen. Ended too soon!

Super interesting for all women

This book is very well written and yet so easy to listen to. To me it felt at points as if I was listening to a podcast more than an audiobook. There is so much information in here, and although I felt like I already knew most of it, it was nice to hear it again. A lot is said about diet and life style for women who want to conceive and I love that topic. Once you purchase this audiobook you can also download a recipe book with it, which is very nice. I advice this book, it is useful and for me it was exactly what I expected.
