What people are saying about the Leclaire
Hypnobirthing Method
"I used this method on my own. My husband read the book and listened to the tape once. I did one chapter of the book each week and listened to the tape only once a week. I was mesmerized. It worked! My doctor couldn't believe it. It was truly a natural and beautiful experience."
– Annie
"It is a one day vacation. The setting is beautiful and healing. The information is tops and the lunch is delicious. We felt rested, empowered and confident. What a lovely, relaxing and educational day."

What people are saying about Meditations for Pregnancy
"After 20 weeks of 'doing' so much for the perfect pregnancy, eating the right foods, creating the right atmosphere, doing the right exercises, I opened the book by 'coincidence' right to page 53 week 20 and realized immediately that all this time I had forgotten to just BE with this light inside me. Her 17-minute meditation is so relaxing, so inspiring, and so effective in creating the loving connection every mother wants to have with her child. Thank you Michelle for this brilliant gift for women."
– Nicole Parker, Actress, Second Time Around
"This is the best bonding book ever. A must for EVERY pregnant woman. I read the marvelous daily words, educational, poetic, life enhancing every day and wrote my thoughts and feelings daily. One day I'll give this to my grown baby so he knows how I thought of him every day. BRAVO."
– A reader from NYC

What people are saying about The Pregnancy Diary
"I love this book. Every day it tells you of the daily growth and development and emotional experience of your baby. It's incredible. It raised many questions and helped me to realize things I never would have thought about. My husband thrived on it. He didn't write in it as I did daily but it helped us to grow closer and to connect together and separately with our first and second. We are thrilled to see it republished. Number 3 will be here soon. I'm glad I'll have it once again even if only for my last trimester. Using this book makes pregnancy the beautiful and sacred experience it should be."
– Helen Leonard
"An insightful and sensitive book of pregnancy meditations, celebrating the miracle that is life."
– Judith Orloff, M.D., author of Second Sight
What people are saying about 12 Weeks to Fertility
"Women are almost never told how their family histories, beliefs and emotions can affect their fertility, knowing this information can be very empowering."
