Hi Reader, Change is in the air, literally and figuratively. The mornings are more chilly and foggy, if you're an early riser you're also noticing the sunrise happening after 6am these days, schedules are shifting especially if you are intertwined with schools, and you might be craving a return to new routines after summer travel or visitors. Whatever you are going through, the transition from summer towards fall tends to be a prominent shift; no matter how long we have been out of school there just is a feeling of change. The changes to my personal and professional life are coming a bit later with my maternity leave starting in mid-October in preparation of the arrival of our son sometime soon after (his due date is November 5th which is also Election Day and talk about changes!!). Even so there is already much anticipation and planning ahead for these big changes. This is also the season of harvest and abundance - our perennial gardens are full and we have so many tomatoes, apples, and pumpkins in our home garden and our CSA is even more abundant! Read on for the harvest of what I'll be offering this fall before I start my maternity leave and hibernation. 1.) Starting NEXT WEEK I will be offering a 3 week series on the Breathing Pelvis on Wednesdays (9/4, 9/11, and 9/18) from 12:05-12:50pm (think of it as the perfect lunch break). This will be online (live and recorded) and you can read more and sign up here. 2.) I will be hosting a couple of events in September, check out the community calendar here for full details and see below for the highlights: Saturday September 7th from 10am-12noon C-Birth & Recovery: 6 Weeks & Beyond workshop at the Women's Health Resource Center, $30, pre-registration preferred through the WHRC and space is limited. Saturday September 21st from 1-3pm Anniversary Community Enrichment Celebration in the conference room next to my office as a FREE event to have a shared grounding practice, celebrate my business turning SIX, and share gratitude for this community. RSVP here so I can get an idea of size. 3.) Work continues behind the scenes from my virtual assistant and we have updated my FREE online libraries that are now separated into 3 sections. Take a peek here or bookmark the tab for a future time; there are over 70 videos total ranging from a few minutes to full 75’ classes! 4.) Last but not least, I am looking to sublet my office space in the months I'm away, so if you or anyone you know would be interested in a well lit office space in downtown Lebanon with a new floor (~200 sq ft with a desk and room/equipment for movement), send me an email for more details! You can check out my website for pictures and details on location. So as we continue into this season of change in our own way, I invite you to keep finding practices, places, people, or positions that ground you. Use this 5 P's of Recovery guide to help you switch from your active, alert state to a more quiet, rested state. With gratitude, grounding, and abundance, Erin |
Hello December, a month that brings us to the year's end... The past month as a new family of 4 has been so full! After being humbled the first week and realizing how basic and slow I had to start my recovery, I’m using my own reminders of starting small. I've been returning to movement and breath basics through: ABCs (alignment, breathing and core connection) gentle rehab and recovery stretches rolling to release tension that builds up from feeding and holding our cute baby and mindful rest...
Hello, here we are in November! It is with a full heart that I share big joy and love right alongside grief and surrendering to life as it is. We welcomed Liam Girard to the world on Saturday November 9th at 12:11am. Our delivery ended in a different way than I hoped and was extremely difficult on my body. So now, I’m really practicing slowing down, accepting help and generally focusing on healing in these early day and weeks. My heart is full as my body and psyche are starting the road...

I'll be sure to share the exciting news of our...
