SOS for Parents
By SassaRaynes November 06, 2013
Being trained by Sandra Kwesell and her techniques and strategies with learning how to properly work with behavioral children has helped me greatly in my journey in pursuing a career in working with children. I highly recommend it to not only parents, but anyone who works with children. I've used these techniques in all my jobs, currently, I nanny at College Nannies and Tutors, and the skills that the SOS program provides have made me a top employer and favorite of the parents I work for. ...read more

Independent Childbirth Classes are starting!
The next Westside Birth Connection (WSBC) group class series starts on Thursday, January 3rd, 6:30pm-9pm, at Atlas Chiropractic on the corner of Research and Powers. I teach childbirth education classes that pull from many great resources such as Dr. Robert Bradley, the Lamaze Institute for Normal Birth, author Sheila Kitzinger and midwife Ina May Gaskin. We focus on breathing techniques and many different comfort techniques that I have learned from my experience attending births as a doula and a midwife assistant, both in the hospital setting and the home setting. Group classes are $250 (per couple) for an 8 week course and includes multi-dimensional instruction, a ten chapter student notebook, a postpartum breastfeeding visit, and unlimited phone / email support. If you have given birth before, please feel free to pick and choose the classes you would like to be "refreshed" on, only $30 per class! Also ask about the discounts that are available for my current doula clients, active military and low income families. ...read more
