Our bodywork offerings are **stellar **this spring! Short notice on this but April 19th, from 9am-3:30pm. Don’t miss if you are interested in working with pregnant clients. What I hear from clients is that many LMTs don’t do bodywork on pregnant clients at all. What a shame! If lack of education is holding you back, we’ll see you on Saturday, the 19th of April! Please feel free to share with doulas and midwives that you know.
