Christa Stewart

The (ART) of Life & Letting Go Christa Stewart

This book is a step-by-step guide through assisted reproductive technologies (ART). You will learn about the different treatment options such as intrauterine insemination (IUI), in-vitro fertilization (IVF), as well as egg/sperm donors and surrogates. Christa has personally experienced many different treatment options while studying several holistic health modalities. She is a licensed journeyman in beauty & wellness, a certified Yoga Teacher as well as certified in Integrative Nutrition. She explains the importance of these modalities and how to incorporate them into your fertility treatments. She gives you several tools to calm your mind, nourish your body and feed your soul. She includes mild yoga postures, the benefits of acupuncture and massage, how to keep your life in balance, lists of foods to eat/avoid and so much more! Although we hope all treatments end up with a healthy baby, this isn't always the case. She explains ectopic pregnancy, miscarriages and how to cope with the loss. This journey is isolating and can be very heart wrenching. It can also have affects on so many aspects of our lives- including our relationships, which is another avenue Christa helps couples navigate. If any of this resonates with you or you are feeling overwhelmed, confused, lost or alone in this process- this book is for you. Christa's light hearted approach, knowledge in this space and ability to empathize makes this a truly exceptional read for anyone going through assisted reproductive technologies.
