PREGNANCY DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A PAIN
Common Format: Half-day Workshop
Come hear the reasons behind common pregnancy discomforts and learn actions you can take at home to help alleviate the pain. During this half-day workshop, Donna will demonstrate simple massage techniques and offer additional resources to help relieve tension and ease common aches and pains of moms-to-be. Addressing these discomforts will help bring your body into better balance and as a result may even help facilitate a smoother and gentler birth experience.
Partners, friends, family, caregivers are welcome to attend with you as many of the techniques need to be learned and practiced with someone supporting you. You will receive a handout of information, resources, and technique guidelines to support your ongoing self-care practice at home.
“Donna is an exceptional teacher to learn from.
Her knowledge of the female anatomy, as well as her multi-dimensional tools, have absolutely changed my understanding of my body in the most beautiful way.
She has fully integrated the teachings and can respond to questions and confusions with real mastery that helps the information land for someone new to these techniques.
Her teaching is humble, gracious, generous, and fun. I really think every young woman should have access to this information as she comes of age.”
SEX ED FOR GROWNUPS: WHAT THEY DIDN’T TEACH YOU IN SCHOOL
Common Format: 2-Hour Workshop
Your menstrual cycle is, in fact, a vital sign, as indicative of your well-being as blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate – and it can provide you with essential information about your health.
During this 2-hour workshop, you will learn reproductive anatomy essentials you should have learned in school; specifically, how female and male fertility work, and what hormonal process is driving the menstrual cycle. You will leave with a more in depth understanding of your reproductive cycle. You will also learn the benefits of fertility awareness methods for health monitoring and family planning, the rudiments of observing and tracking your 5th vital sign, and just what is meant by reproductive health “biomarker.” After all, you deserve to know how your body works.
You may attend as an individual or as a couple.
“Donna is an amazing instructor. She has a fundamental and intuitive understanding of students’ needs to not only hear and see information, but experience it as well. Her activities are fun, inventive, varied and relevant. The flow of the class was wonderful.
I’ve been to a lot of courses and come from an education family and Donna is one of the best teachers I’ve ever experienced.”
