As a writer who happens also to be an anatomist, I am absurdly eager to recommend The Memory Palace of Bones, from our friends at Handspring. This is the most poetic journey through our innerness since Deane Juhan surprised us all with the soaring and elegant Job’s Body (wow, nearly five decades ago).

This opportunity lies both in private practice, where C-section, post-partum or endometriosis scars are all too common.
