"Tending to Your Womb: Self Care for Every Stage in the Reproductive Journey, No Matter the Outcome” by Anietia Ukpe-Wallace

Tia is a Doctor of Physical Therapy--formerly based in Oakland, now living overseas--who also has personal, first-hand experience with both pregnancy loss and successful pregnancy. Tending to Your Womb is a book about self-care, and speaks with wisdom and compassion to women at any point in their fertility journey.

From her work as a physical therapist specializing in pelvic health as well as her own lived experience with pregnancy loss and secondary infertility, Dr. “Tia” Anietie Ukpe-Wallace understands intimately the dysfunction that arises when we’re disconnected from our wombs. And so Tia empowers women to get personal with their anatomy, learn what’s “normal” for them, and to trust their body’s signals so they can move forward with clarity, agency, and care, and become confident self-advocates in a challenging and impersonal medical system. With a frank, compassionate overview of the female reproductive system and the ways in which fertility and pregnancies can go awry, she offers advice about how to tend to your womb and all its connected systems to support the best outcomes possible.

Join us as we welcome Tia as she shares with us a book reading, some small self-care body practices that are referenced in the book, and her wisdom as she answers our questions.
