Cultured Foods for Vital Health - Building community and immunity...
Humans have been fermenting foods and reaping the benefits for ages. It's only in the last 100 years or so we moved away from them. We now understand that's not a good idea as our bodies rely on these microbes for balanced health. In fact, microbes out number our human cells 10 to 1 and they like it when we feed them well. Learn the basics of natural pickling a.k.a "fermentation" and get cultured! These foods are essential to human health. For those in their childbearing years, who are often told to not consume foods that aren't pasteurized, these are not a concern, in fact quite the opposite. We discuss how to slowly incorporate these foods into anyone's diet*. I've been culturing foods around 15 years and am trained as a Master Food Preserver through Seattle Tilth. As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I love helping others reap the myriads of benefits of cultured vegetables, these golden keys to good health. *People with candida concerns should avoid fermented foods until they've completed a thorough candida cleanse.

Class can be taken prenatally (if you want to be familiar with the routine before baby arrives, you can practice on a doll/teddy. This way, you'll be more confident with the moves and you can begin to trace the movements with your baby from the beginning) or you can do with baby postnatally in the early mos. Thank you!
Deepen your bond and communication with baby using pleasurable rhythmic, intelligent touch. Parents and caregivers report feeling deeply calmed themselves by the ritual with more confidence in their ability to provide wellness care for their little ones. And, if you're curious about infant pottying, this is a great time to ask questions about it as we're observing baby closely and tuning into baby's signals.
Infant Pottying This practice deepens communication with baby and helps parents reduce their eco-footprint and save money by reducing diaper use! Also called Elimination Communication, it builds trust and a solid communication foundation. Another name for it is Natural Infant Hygiene and still it is wet and messy at times, but, so are diaper changes! In fact cleaning up a potty poop vs. diaper poop is way nicer ;) Be green, build trust & meet your baby's need to eliminate away from their body - naturally. This practice does take focus early on and requires all care givers to be on board, but it eliminates the need for potty training later on which has been a dream for my family. In this class, you'll learn the techniques and tips you'll need to get your family "going" from the beginning.
