Doula Clients Growing Up!
April 6, 2010 – 10:50 AM
In addition to a lovely Easter weekend with family, friends and warm weather - a highlight was spending an afternoon celebrating Everette’s one-year birthday.

What is Acupuncture?
February 2, 2010 – 9:26 AM
As a licensed acupuncturist, and blogger on the subject, I probably should have publicly answered this question some time ago.
