      R.TCMP, R.Ac

      A LifeTree Media Book

       PRAISE FOR PATHWAYS TO PREGNANCY

      “What a wonderful contribution Mary Wong has made to women and couples facing the challenges of trying to get pregnant. Warm, approachable, and professional, she skillfully guides readers through the benefits of using the best of both Western and traditional Chinese medicine in dealing with conception challenges. Her book is filled with honest but encouraging accounts of how these two practices can work in concert with each other to help women achieve their dream of becoming mothers.”

      TONI WESCHLER, AUTHOR OF BEST-SELLER TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR FERTILITY

      “An inspirational account of personal stories of women triumphing over infertility.”

      REBECCA FETT, AUTHOR OF IT STARTS WITH THE EGG

      “In Pathways to Pregnancy Mary Wong tells her own and other couples’ stories of fertility treatment, whilst offering advice based on the best of both Eastern and Western medicine. Anyone struggling to conceive will find this a helpful book.”

      JILL BLAKEWAY, LICENSED ACUPUNCTURIST, CO-AUTHOR OF MAKING BABIES, HOST OF CBS RADIO’S GROW. COOK. HEAL.

      “Written by a thoughtful, compassionate practitioner, Mary Wong’s Pathways to Pregnancy offers solace and hope to everyone called to travel the ‘scenic route’ to parenthood.”

      JULIA INDICHOVA, AUTHOR OF INCONCEIVABLE AND THE FERTILE FEMALE

      “Moving, inspiring and full of hope for women navigating the often heartbreaking journey of infertility, Mary shares the stories of her patients and her own personal infertility experience with an authenticity that will give comfort to all those trying to conceive.”

      RAY RUBIO, DOCTOR OF ACUPUNCTURE AND ORIENTAL MEDICINE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE AMERICAN BOARD OF ORIENTAL REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE

      “As an acupuncturist and former embryologist, I know too well that fertility goes beyond fertilizing an egg and a sperm. If you or your loved ones are struggling with fertility and want to know how to optimize your chances, this book is an invaluable resource. Mary Wong provides a superb A-Z fertility guide, combining years of professional experience with her personal journey to take you to a deep level of healing and transformation that can very well be the missing piece in achieving your pregnancy.”

      HELEN BETGIVARGIS, FORMER IVF EMBRYOLOGIST, FOUNDER OF ACUPUNCTURE TREE of LIFE

      “Mary Wong is the only person I know who could create such an effective amalgam of Eastern and Western approaches to fertility care.”

      DR. MARJORIE DIXON, MD, FERTILITY SPECIALIST, FOUNDER AND CEO OF ANOVA FERTILITY & REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO

      “Pragmatic and expressive, Mary Wong shares real stories about human infertility, and weaves into them her vast knowledge of Eastern medicine as well as Western medicine, which together amount to a real ‘human medicine.’ Reading these tales, you can’t help but be reminded of similar journeys that you or those you know have taken. In all of this, a clear Mary Wongian philosophical truth emerges: that there is definitely more water in the glass than you can possibly imagine!”

      PAUL TUREK, MD, UROLOGIST AND MALE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SPECIALIST, FOUNDER OF THE TUREK CLINIC

      “This landmark book gives readers not only a sense of direction, but a sense of belonging and community. Often, couples and individuals trying to make sense of their struggle feel incredibly isolated and misunderstood. And this feeling is not without merit, because so few of us have loved ones who can truly relate to the emotional torture that fertility issues can bring. Mary Wong shares heartfelt stories that embody the journey beautifully, and that will bring true hope and healing to many.”

      CHRIS AXELRAD, LICENSED ACUPUNCTURIST, PAST PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN BOARD OF ORIENTAL REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE

      “Mary’s book offers a nurturing way of healing for those struggling with infertility. This is a must-read for anyone wanting to take back control over their fertility journey. I will be recommending this book to my patients.”

      LORNE BROWN, DOCTOR OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE, AUTHOR OF THE ACUBALANCE FERTILITY DIET, CHAIR OF THE INTEGRATIVE FERTILITY SYMPOSIUM

      “Combining the best of Chinese medicine and Western medicine, Mary draws on her personal wisdom and extensive patient experience to forge a path to overcoming infertility that will inspire and support you on your journey to pregnancy.”

      KATHRYN SIMMONS FLYNN, AUTHOR OF COOKING FOR FERTILITY, FOUNDER OF FERTILEFOODS.COM
