BIG CHANGES!

I'm ready to close up my studio in downtown Bremerton, and I'm looking for someone to take my spot. Cyndislight will continue providing prenatal and soul-nourishing massage out of the studio. My needs have shifted and I am not able to pour as much love into the studio as it needs, so I'm moving out when my lease is up in January.

Located on 4th and Pacific in downtown Bremerton, walking distance from the ferry, and across from Hot Java and Ashley's Pub. There are shared spaces ideal for teaching or small groups, waiting area, or whatever you can envision. There is also a small office that would be excellent for client appointments or treatments, if that's your jam.

Pictures below... Please PM me if you have serious interest. The January timeline could possibly be moved up if needed.

Angie Hotz Doula always inspires me to be more of a "maker". Today we fired up her shiny new still and made lavender essential oil. 😊

Mothership-Angie Hotz and I spoke with the residents at the Northwest Washington Family Medicine Residency today, about what doulas do, the way our roles cross over, how we can help each other support our clients in great births! We also talked about the value of midwifery in our community, and encouraged them to bring in some of our homebirth midwives to learn more about the skilled care they provide here. There was a lot of enthusiasm, great questions, and I dare say, some excitement to work together! I can't wait to be in the birth space with every single one of these glorious humans.

Via a new program, moms on duty who send breast milk back home for their babies will be able to get up to $750 of yearly shipping costs reimbursed.

All active duty members -- including Public Health Service officers, US Navy chaplains attached to the Coast Guard, reservists on Active Duty for Operational Support and their spouses, and civilian employees -- are eligible for the reimbursement program, the Coast Guard said.

The shipments must fall during business travel periods of 72 hours or longer.

The US Coast Guard is trying to make it a bit easier for new moms to return to work.
