Dr. Bernie Siegel, Physician and Author of Love, Medicine and Miracles. Dr. Siegel will reflect on the art of living and healing. He will discuss his experiences over the last 30 years with people who are confronting life´s physical and emotional challenges.

5:48 PM
This past week I have told a number of students and friends what my thoughts/experience on OB/GYN care vs. Midwifery care has bee...
a little background.. Saylor was born with an OB/GYN ( who was fabulous, Dr. Deena Kleinerman) at Sibley. It was a medicated birth and pretty typical as far as first labor and delivery goes. As for my prenatal care, I would say, it was good. We had our appointments, she knew my name and we had a somewhat personal relationship. She answered questions that I had and was a pro in the delivery room. Giving me lots of time( 3 hours!) to push lil Saylor out.
When I was pregnant with my 2nd, the first person I told was Whitney Pinger, midfwife extraordinaire. I was 2 weeks pregnant, and knew she probably already had a wait list for my due date! I was introduced to Whitney first by my prenatal students in Gtown. I had many students who chose Whitney to deliver their babies. As time passed, Whitney joined forces when we started the Holistic Moms Network DC Chapter, and became a supporter of lil omm, just as I became a supporter of her newly formed WISDOM midwifery community/outreach group . A fabulous community of moms who had delivered with her and her midwives , promoting midwifery care. When Whitney moved to GW a year ago, I seriously considered delivering with her and as soon as I confirmed that I was pregnant , that's when I placed the call. It's pretty amazing to be in the hands of such a birthing power house in DC, and to learn from her. She has so much knowledge, confidence and experience as a mother of 5 herself. Her spirit and energy is all her own, and I adore her.
In my experience thus far, I'll write more ( birth story) once Milo is actually on the outside of me.. but regardless, a midwife is more like a family member, an auntie, that experienced elder who guides you through tough times. This pregnancy, I have had my fair share of ups and downs and the whole time she will hold my hand, rub my baby, talk to him, look at me in the eyes and ask how I am. She talks to me about what I am eating, ask how I am being supported, and engages with me as a WHOLE person, and not just as a short term patient. This model works well for me, as this pregnancy has seen ups and down in my personal and professional and pregnancy life, all things I have wanted to share with my midwife.
For those who don't know- this group of midwives at GW see women in DC for well visits - so if you are interested in this type of care for all your womanly needs.. you can see them without being pregnant. It's also my tip to any of my friends who WANT to have children.. is to get in with them now when you are not pregnant, and that can give you a better chance of delivering with them once you are pregnant. ( Current patients get priority ) I know that Whitney and this practice generally have a 9-10 month "wait list" meaning they are full as soon as people know they are pregnant. So I suggest you go to a meet the midwife at the hospital if you are considering having children and see if this feels right to you!
More to come on this topic after he arrives..

About our 4th of July Midwifery Float
The DC Affiliate of ACNM is hosting a float in the Palisades Community July 4th Parade.
http://www.palisadesdc.org/parade.htm
The theme is "WHERE'S MY MIDWIFE?" We are hoping that every practice in the area will be represented by its staff and clients. We will meet at the start of the parade and march together, with our pregnant ladies! We have a truck (thank you to Erika Sawyer) at our disposal to house an eye-catching centerpiece. What about a Pregnant statue of Liberty? What about holding a sign that says A Midwife is my right! Belly Casts draped over the truck sides? Other Ideas are welcome! Some posters will be available from the Affiliate but we hope that people will be creative in producing their own. "MY MIDWIFE IS AT GW" "MY MIDWIFE IS AT HOME" "MY MIDWIFE IS AT THE FAMILY HEALTH AND BIRTH CENTER" etc.
The Palisades July 4th Parade is well-known in the city and attended by many more than those who live in the neighborhood. City officials attend as well as families from all over the city. This should prove to be a very fun way to promote each of our practices and midwifery care in general in the city.

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, a group of Glover Park mamas are organizing a diaper drive and community playdate to benefit a Wider Circle, which provides new mother/family services to low-income families.
In low-income households where diaper rationing occurs, babies can wear a single diaper all day. This increases the risk of health problems, from skin diseases to hepatitis. Plus, a baby crying non-stop from spending hours in a soiled diaper is more likely to be abused.
THE DRIVE:
Saturday, February 12-1:00-3:00 PM
We are collecting packs of diapers of all sizes and brands. Packs of diaper wipes are also welcome.
THE GLOVER PARK CHALLENGE: If every family that came to the Halloween Parade brings just 1 pack of diapers, we could give a Wider Circle over 3000 diapers. That would be an amazing help to the Wider Circle families.
THE LOCATION:
St. Alban's (3100 Wisconsin Ave, NW) is graciously serving as hosts the collection site and play date location. If you haven't visited Nourse Hall before, it's a beautiful, open, carpeted space-perfect for crawlers, toddlers and kids of all ages. So, after you drop off your donation, please feel free to relax and meet some of your fellow neighbors.
Check out our Facebook event page for more details and RSVP so we have enough snacks. Email me if you have questions.

It's almost time for that big fall cleanup. As the days get shorter and school approaches, we all look around, take stock, and think, "where did all this stuff come from?"
lil omm to the rescue! Don't forget about two swaps always happening at the studio...
Playroom Toy Swap
Our playroom room isn't that different from your pile of toys at home. The kids have favorites, only to love something else the next week. To keep everyone happy, all are invited to bring toys/books your kids no longer love, and take toys your kids love now. And then repeat, repeat, repeat for happy campers all around (and fewer trips to the toy store).
Book Swap
In the reception area, you'll find a big basket of books and magazines. Feel free to bring some you'd like to share, and take what you'd like to read. Anything is fair game...share and share alike!
Stay tuned for other one-day swaps this fall: clothes, baby gear, etc...have an idea? Share it with us!

Yoga Challenge participants will enjoy FREE classes on Fridays.
Yoga Challenge participants will get 10% off a 5-class pass for the month of July — in addition to great deals at other DC studios.

Read on to learn more about this important bill and how you can sign the petition to show your support.
Last year, the DC Health Department found that 43% of students enrolled in city public schools were overweight or obese — one of the highest rates in the nation. On May 4, the DC City Council unanimously passed a groundbreaking piece of legislation called the ‘DC Healthy Schools Act’ to fight this problem. The Act raises nutritional standards, brings fresh, local fruits and vegetables to schools, triples the amount of physical and health education, creates school gardens, and expands school-based health and wellness programs.
The D.C. Healthy Schools Act is a landmark bill that will:
* substantially improve health, wellness, and nutrition in our schools
* raise the nutritional standards and improve the quality of school meals
* bring more fresh, local fruits and vegetables to schools
* triple the amount of and vegetables to schools
* triple the amount of physical and health education by adopting national standards
* create school gardens and support other environmental initiatives
* expand school-based health and wellness programs
* Ensure that low-income students have access to a nutritious breakfast every day
Despite these incredible efforts to grow healthy children, the corporate lobby is fighting to stop this initiative. Coke, Pepsico and Dr. Pepper-Snapple and their super-sized lobby firm the American Beverage Association (ABA) are fighting the means to fund this bill: an additional penny-per-ounce of soda dedicated to healthy schools. ABA has already spent $5.4 million nationwide this year on expensive advertising and backdoor lobbying gimmicks. That’s why we need your help!
The proposed D.C. Healthy Schools Revenue Act would fund this initiative by:
* adding a one-cent-per-ounce tax to sugar-sweetened beverages to fight obesity
* the tax WOULD NOT include diet soda, non-caloric beverages, juices, milk, and water
* the soda tax would be imposed on distributors - NOT our small, local businesses. It would not apply to concentrated syrup, which is primarily sold to restaurants and bars
If you support this bill, sign the petition and share the link with friends! Every signature counts.

What: Holistic Moms DC June 2010 Meeting
When: Tuesday, June 1, 6:30-8:30 pm
Topic: Ayurveda for the Family
On Tuesday, June 1, the DC Chapter of the Holistic Moms Network will welcome Anne Thiel, Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant, who will teach us how to incorporate the healing science of Ayurveda into the care of our families.
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian healing science that is often considered the “sister science” of yoga. It was developed by “rishis” (seers) through observing the world and human beings around us. Also coined “medicine of nature”, at its core, Ayurveda seeks to teach us how to live in harmony with nature, with its cyclical rhythm, but also with the way nature’s energies manifest in us. Ayurveda captures this manifestation of energies and how it plays out in human beings in the concept of doshas, or constitutional body types. Understanding yours and your child’s body types can go a long way toward preventing illness and furthering health and even happiness. In this session, Anne will discuss the basic tenets of Ayurveda and the three main forms of constitutional body types. She will teach us how to determine our and our childrens’ body types, imbalances that are likely to occur for each type, and how we can be proactive about preventing them.
Anne Thiel is an Ayurvedic lifestyle consultant. She was first formally introduced to Ayurveda in an Ayurveda/Thai Yoga training in 2005 and completed Kripalu’s School of Ayurveda program in 2007. Anne is passionate about the wisdom of this ancient Indian healing science and seeks to help clients identify lifestyle changes that allow them to find more balance and harmony in their lives. Anne has been offering workshops in the DC area for the past few years and also works with clients on a one-to-one basis.
Our "Ayurveda for the Family" meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 1, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Cleveland Park Public Library, 3310 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008. There is street parking in Cleveland Park, and the library is also metro accessible through the Cleveland Park Metro/Red Line.
Kids are welcome!
Share your knowledge, experiences, and questions!
