New Baby Doula Package for Moms!

I have long had specials for pregnant moms:

  • 1/2 price massages the last month of pregnancy
  • Home visit postpartum massage with travel fee waived.
I am now offering a Baby Doula Package:

  • 2 prenatal massages
  • 1 craniosacral treatment of baby
  • 1 supported attachment session
  • 1 postpartum massage

All Just $200!  What a deal!  Sign up today.

What is supported attachment?  Once the baby is born, he or she can be placed onto the mother's belly where movement initiated by the baby will help him or her move to the breast.  The self-initiated movement is important for the baby.  It will provide an imprint of success and satisfaction, and will greatly help with breastfeeding.  Often on the way to the breast, the baby will tell the story of birth from his or perspective.  I support the storytelling.  For more information about self attachment see The Breast Crawl, an international movement.  For more information on supported attachment, see Mary Jackson's video you can purchase here.
Free Range Play and Designing Natural Play Spaces for Healthy Children and Planet

I am cosponsoring an excellent talk and workshop with Mountaintop Montessori April 23 and 24!  This workshop will present the importance of free play in nature taught by Robin Moore of the Natural Learning Initiative.  Keep your eyes on the website for the Mountaintop Seed Project.  I will also be posting information on my webpage, Belvedere Blog, and Facebook.
 
We need SPONSORS for this event.  Prices are very reasonable. You get free tickets and a booth at the event. Excellent exposure for you and your business.  Please contact me!
Biodynamic Craniosacral Training coming to Charlottesville: Rescheduled


craniosacraltherapyI am hosting the first of three introductory workshops of the 10 module Biodynamic Craniosacral Foundation Training with Michael Shea May 5-8, 2010 at the English Inn in Charlottesville, VA.  Introductory modules will be offered during 2010 with the hopes of gathering at least 16 professionals for a training. 

I selected Michael because of his years teaching the material and his specific focus on embryology.  I am convinced more than ever that the craniosacral therapy touches in on early embryonic developmental sequencing; it can be deeply healing and part of a repatterning experience.  Check out Michael's website for more information.  See a YouTube of Michael working here.
