The Beauty of Reproduction
On losing sight of the art and beauty of conception in the middle of mucous checks, suppositories, and blood draws — and what a watercolor of a three-day-old embryo can reset.
A book by Jane Gleeson, RN, MN, L.Ac.
Infertility,
Help and Hope
The challenges of infertility and its treatment can be physically, emotionally, and financially draining. The amount of reading, doctor shopping, hoping, praying, and persevering that people do when trying to have a baby is overwhelming and heartbreaking. This inspired Jane to write this book to help people struggling with infertility lighten their load and to give them the tools, strategies, and information to continue on their journey, or recover from it.

In their words
What patients, partners, and physicians have shared.
Jane delivers a powerful message of hope and positivity. A must-read for those on the edge of losing their way during the chaotic journey to build a family.
As a board certified reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist, I have often referred patients to Jane over the years for her holistic approach to patient care and fertility. I so appreciate her attention to important health topics such as sleep, nutrition, and relationships.
As a counseling psychologist and mother, I found Jane’s book to be incredibly relatable, authentic, and informative. Readers will feel empowered.
As a physician and former patient who conceived two beautiful children naturally while under Jane’s care, I can attest to the importance and effectiveness of her advice.
My husband and I truly appreciated Jane’s knowledge, research-based advice, and ability to help us stay calm and positive while trying to have our first baby. Every time we look at our son we talk about how awesome Jane is.
I only wish we had met you sooner. I so appreciate your kindness, compassion, expertise, optimism, and your gentle listening ear. You are a true blessing.
