The Counselors at the Women's Wellness & Education Center:
|
|
|
Elli Schmeltekopf, MS,LPC
Elli's understanding of the
physiology of trauma through a three-year post-graduate Somatic Experiencing
training helps individuals to better understand their internal reactions and how to change them. Elli works with women, men, adolescents, and couples to resolve trauma like auto accidents, falls, medical procedures, pre- and perinatal trauma, abuse and early attachment issues. Clients often come to Elli, however, not because of specific traumas but because of personal or relational issues that have been resistant to change.

|
Shelley Tom, MS, NCC
As a therapist Shelley specializes in working with women and their families during the pregnancy and postpartum period. "My counseling philosophy is that the transition to parenthood is a normal transition that often presents challenges. By creating a safe, non-judgemental space for mothers to explore that transition and to acknowledge their unique experience they can begin to understand what they need."

Massage and Acupuncture at the WWEC

|
Natalie Allard, L.Ac.
Natalie's acupuncture practice focuses on women through many life phases; from PMS to fertility, from pregnancy through labor, from postpartum through menopause. "I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust, to work with your body's instinctive wisdom, and to join you on your wellness journey."
|
|
|
Laura Beagle, LMBT, CD
Beagle is specially trained in massage for pregnant and postpartum women. She is also a doula and attends couples in labor. "I love working with pregnant women during this important transition. I provide a safe space for women to ask questions, voice concerns, and know deep relaxation."
|
|
|
Ruth Macnair, LMBT
Ruth is specially trained in prenatal and fertility massage. Fertility massage is a highly specialized technique that is deep and relaxing. Fertility massage allows the body to open, cleanse, and balance to prepare for conception. It can be especially helpful for women seeking IVF treatment.
