YOUR GUIDE TO A WELL-INFORMED
WOMANHOOD
If you’re like most women, you want to understand your own body.
Unfortunately, our culture, sexual education curriculum, and even search results make that difficult.
It’s easy to feel misinformed, powerless and confused.
Jessica's knowledge of her own body was so scarce that routine gynecology checkups left her feeling confused and even violated. She was unable to adequately communicate with her doctor. Through the making of her book, she has re-illustrated her path. Uterus can guide you to feel clear about your anatomy and experience as a uterus owner.
In this illustrated guide to uterine health, simple and medically sound information can help you to become fluent in the language of the uterus, have beautiful visuals in your mind’s eye and gain control of your experience as a woman.

"The beautiful, clear and precise drawings are not only a pleasure to look at, but a wonderful professional tool. From self-study to patient education, I refer to the drawings again and again as I teach my patients about their bodies and their physical experiences throughout their pregnancies. A must have for anyone involved with women’s health care or birth work."

"Magnificent artistry. Simple yet nuanced, with a unique visual perspective. This book has helped me create clearer images in my mind of the uterus and its surroundings, and has become an important staple of my midwifery library both for my own knowledge, as well as for use in childbirth education. Just purchased extra copies as gifts for colleagues abroad!"
