"Both Eastern and Western medicine recognize the effects that early development has on the life of a child, the adult that child becomes, and even that adult's children and children's children. To have a guide that supports awareness and health in pregnancy, birth, and early childhood is a blessing that can affect genetic expression, health, and happiness in new parents, new babies, and generations to come. The impact that this book can have is hard to overestimate." --Dr. Claudia Welch, author of Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life
