Pregnancy Massage & Infant Massage Class Jan 9 & 10

Skilled, nurturing touch is beneficial for moms and babies. This statement is validated by data from various studies.

 

Anthropological studies indicate that most of the world's peaceful cultures use touch prominently during pregnancy and early childhood. Studies conducted in 49 societies showed that there is an 80% correlation , in infant physical affection such as carrying or hugging and low crime and physical violence in adulthood including theft, torture and slavery.

 

In one study, pregnant women who received massage twice a week for 5 weeks experienced less anxiety and less leg and back pain, better sleep and moods improved. Their labor had fewer complications, created more bonding between mom and infant.

 

Pregnancy is a time when women need support and stress relief. Stress can compromise circulation to the baby, as much as 65%, resulting in lower fetal heart rate and blood oxygenation.

 

Individualized hands-on time with a somatic practitioner presents a potent experience of support and relaxation for a pregnant woman. Massage therapy provides an atmosphere that invites relaxation, nurturing and body awareness.

In the class you will practice draping, positioning and techniques used in pregnancy massage.  Contraindications, high-risk symptoms and physiological changes thru each trimester, and main muscle groups affected by physiological changes will be discussed.

  

This class includes practical experience.  Please be prepared to perform massage on each other.

The class will include lecture on the various benefits and cautions related to the stages of pregnancy.  The students will be able to practice techniques to help with low back pain, breathing, hip and leg pain.  Stress relieving techniques are also included in this class.  Students will also learn the benefits and cautions related to infant massage.

 

Students will view a demonstration of infant massage.

Protect your Child from Colds and Infections at School

 

Dr. Victoria Goldsten, HD

Natural Health Care Nurse

Integrative Homeopathic Doctor

 

Disease-causing germs such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi spread directly or indirectly from one person to another. According to the World Health Organization infectious diseases are now the world's biggest killer of children and young adults; they lead to 16.2% of worldwide deaths. Schools with children sharing space expose them to many infections.

 

Knowing these statistics it is important to strengthen the body and use preventative measures. Simple things like washing hands and preparing foods properly can prevent the chances of spreading infectious diseases. Eating a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water also assist in protection.

 

In alternative medicine clinics homeopathic medicines and herbal remedies prove to be extremely effective in preventing and fighting infection. There are specific homeopathic remedies that act similar to immunizations, although much safer, that can prevent and slow down the course of an infection.

 

Viral, bacterial, and fungal infections are the most highly seen forms of infections treated at the Washington Institute with viral infections such as head colds being number one.

 

At the Institute we use homeopathic nosode remedies as our first line of defense in the treatment of infections along with detoxification and organ support homeopathics. These therapies can be used safely with conventional medications.

 

If you are interested in further information regarding the natural treatment of the infectious diseases, please feel free to contact the Washington Institute of Natural Medicine.
