US$19.95, paperback | ISBN: 978-1-943370-35-1 | April 21, 2026 | 224 pages, 6″ x 9″

A heart-centered, science-based guide for women navigating fertility, pregnancy, loss, and what might come between and after

Every reproductive journey has unexpected bumps along the way, small and big.. Whether you’re preparing or trying to conceive, moving through pregnancy, processing loss or finding your footing afterward, or moving into menopause, caring for your reproductive health starts with connecting with your body.

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.

Included in the book:

  • Exercises to connect you with your genitals
  • Self-massage techniques for the vulva and abdomen
  • Steps to identify your reproductive health “baseline”
  • The 5 S’s of fertility and womb health
  • Advice for navigating the fog of grief
  • Guidance for moving into menopause with vitality

Praise

“Most books about fertility focus on the well-being of the baby, but as Anietie Ukpe Wallace’s book Tending to Your Womb relays, this care truly begins with our own female bodies. We take better care of what we know. Ukpe-Wallace’s book is filled with both her professional and personal expertise to know and care for one’s womb through the journey with fertility and beyond. Tending to Your Womb will be a treasured resource.” —TAMI LYNN KENT, author of Wild Feminine, Wild Creative, and Wild Mothering

“Tending to Your Womb is a deeply compassionate guide to every stage of your reproductive journey—whether you are menstruating, trying to conceive, navigating loss, welcoming a baby, or entering menopause. Ukpe-Wallace offers clear, empowering education about your anatomy alongside gentle, practical self-care practices that help you reconnect with your body on your own terms. With unflinching honesty and profound tenderness, she honors grief, trauma, and complexity while fiercely supporting women’s autonomy, informed choice, and emotional well-being at every step. This is not another book telling you what to do with your body; it is an invitation to listen, to tend, and to reclaim your womb as a source of wisdom, resilience, and healing.” —Pregnancy Magazine

“Dr. Tia Ukpe-Wallace has written the rare kind of reproductive health guide that is both clinically rigorous and deeply compassionate. Tending to Your Womb empowers readers to become informed, embodied self-advocates—bridging science with the lived intelligence of the body. Clear, practical, and profoundly reassuring, this is the book I want in every woman’s hands.” —DR. JULIE VON, author of Spiritual Fertility

“Dr. Ukpe-Wallace combines a compassionate, empowering guide rich with resources to not just deepen your understanding of your body, but with ac¬tionable tools and advice to help you care for it. Tending to Your Womb is a tremendous resource for any woman at any stage in their journey. —DR. JOLENE BRIGHTEN, author of Beyond the Pill and Is This Normal?

“While every reproductive journey is different, every body deserves care—no matter the outcome. Tending to Your Womb offers a holistic, evidence-based approach to womb health, empowering readers with guidance and tools to become their own first line of care through fertility, birth or loss, healing, and beyond.” —KATY BOWMAN, author of Move Your DNA and Diastasis Recti

“I wish the pain of a challenged pregnancy or loss on nobody. But if troubles befall this journey, there is no better resource to hold your hand, whisper guidance into your ear, and help you through this process than Tending to Your Womb. Dr. Ukpe-Wallace restores dignity and graces you with education and compassion in her in-depth chronicle of how to care for yourself in these fragile moments and beyond. She urges you to reconnect to your body’s parts by thoroughly investigating your tissues with curiosity, humility, and a new way of listening. Share this book with your mom, sisters, aunts, and daughters, for there is no book that tells the truth quite like this.”—JILL MILLER, author of Body By Breath and The Roll Model

“As a podcaster who interviews women about their pregnancies and births, I’m always searching for resources that empower people to understand their bodies on their own terms. Dr. Ukpe-Wallace has created exactly that. Tending to Your Womb is a compassionate, evidence-informed guide that fills the gaps so many of my guests mention in their stories—questions never fully answered, symptoms dismissed, and grief not given space. This book shines a light on the physical, emotional, and cultural layers of the reproductive journey while offering truly accessible self-care practices.” —BRYN HUNTPALMER, host of The Birth Hour podcast
