Reiki Information Event with Maureen Petro

Join us in the lobby of Core 4 Healing and Wellness for an information session with Reiki Master, Maureen Petro, to discover the benefits of this Japanese modality for creating mental clarity and peace of mind. 

Reiki is ideal for many of our clients at Core 4 including Prenatal and Postpartum mothers, those wading through the stress of a fertility journey, and those looking to heal from pelvic health dysfunction by tapping in to their parasympathetic nervous system to foster healing, rest, digestion, and release.

Local Birth Worker Night

Calling in all Midwives, Birth Doulas, and Postpartum Doulas serving clients in the Lehigh Valley!

As a Pelvic Health Physical Therapist who specializes in working with clients who are pregnant and postpartum, I recommend that ALL of my clients explore working with local birth workers to significantly improve their birth outcomes. While I have had the opportunity to chat with many our local birth workers over the phone, messenger, and text, I would love to meet you in person to strengthen our referral bonds and to discuss how to improve maternal care in the Lehigh Valley together! 

Our intentions for the night are: 

* To meet and network together, solidifying our concerted effort to increase quality maternal care in our community

* To provide a brief introduction to my work as a Pelvic Health Physical Therapist, and why every pregnant person should have access to having a Pelvic Health Therapist

*To discuss our idea for a Birth Worker Spring Series where we can highlight the great work each of you are doing in our community, and create more community awareness around birth support options

Sound Meditation with Meg Green

Join us in our backyard venue for an evening of blissful sound meditation with musician, Reiki Master, and Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Meg Green!

Sound has the ability to bring us into a deeply relaxed state. While many people struggle to meditate by themselves, they may find it easier to let go of thoughts when exposed to a soothing soundscape. Come with us on a sonic journey filled with various instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, chimes and flutes. No experience is necessary.
 
** Please arrive 30 minutes early to choose your spot and set up your nest!
 
**Bring a blanket, yoga mat, or lawn chair, and wear comfortable clothes to relax in!

Free Movie Premier Screening 

Join us at the Core 4 Healing and Wellness Center for a movie premier screening of the film, "The Business of Birth Control."

Looking at the complex relationship of hormonal contraception to women's health and liberation, The Business of Birth Control features the stories of activists, doctors, and scientists who are blowing the whistle on how hormonal birth control affects the mind and body. 

The filmmakers trace the shocking history of how hormonal birth control has been weaponized against communities of color, while capturing a revived feminist health movement that is embracing body literacy and redefining reproductive justice. The Business of Birth Control is primed to ignite the next women's health revolution. It is sure to be required viewing for anyone with a uterus. 

To reserve your seat, sign up by messaging [email protected]. See you there!
