Celebrating A Beautiful New Office Space... Can't wait to show it to you!

I have a new office! It is in the Shanti Center for Bodywork and Healing Practitioners at 700 DuPont St in Bellingham, 98225. It's a beautiful, peaceful setting, downtown with ocean breezes and views. A little blue house on the corner of DuPont and C St. I can't wait to show it to you! I look forward to having you here for prenatal and postpartum care. We'll be having our open house soon... stay tuned!

Perhaps one of the best things about this space is the delightful energy co-created by the four women whose offices are at Shanti. I have had the pleasure of receiving each of their healing medicine, and I whole-heartedly recommend their care!
Susanna Alongi, Licensed Massage Practitioner and womb-healing, womb-care goddess
Elizabeth Ruff, Licensed Massage Practitioner and SOMA bodywork practitioner - deep fascia release and movement expert
Melissa Setum, Holistic Skin Care Practitioner, providing deep medicine in this life, perfect for pregnancy and postpartum

Enjoy the pictures below! A special thank you goes to Don Burgess (my sweetheart) who has spent a lot of time helping to fix up my office space...

June 22: Closing the Bones: Rebozo wrapping the new mother for postpartum health. A free workshop for mothers and birth workers.

Class Description: A rebozo is a long, woven shawl. Women across Central and South America use rebozos for many things, including the carrying of children. The Closing the Bones Rebozo ceremony is a Mexican tradition, performed by midwives on new mothers, and can be mixed with many other beautiful offerings, including a floral bath, smudging, and other types of mother blessing. It is a way to seal and close the birth experience, and honor all the opening the woman had to do in order to birth a baby, not only physically, but emotionally as well.

Workshop is for Mothers (pregnant and postpartum), and Birth-Workers (doulas, midwives, childbirth educators, etc). I'm also extending a special invitation to the Latina and Hispanic women's health community, as the demonstration tonight is based on a Mexican tradition for postpartum health.

In this class, birthworkers and mothers will learn the beautiful art for themselves and their clients. I'll have a few rebozos for sale ($40 - $85).
