Natural Birth Share

Natural Birth Share This Weekend!

I am so excited about this weekend’s Natural Birth Share. I do apologise to those of you who thought it was last weekend. Actually, I though it was last weekend too. That’s what happens when you are living out of a schedule and can’t remember what day it is.

Well, our gathering will be this Saturday, the 16th of May, at 11:30. Our venue has changed though, the cafe we originally intended to meet at is now closed on Saturdays, so we will be moving to:

Caffé Appassionato*
TEL: 02-798-3272

(The cafe is in front of the Chung Wha building, in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. On your way to the UN Village. If you know where Dr. Sung’s clinic is. The cafe is in front of that building.)

Our little group is growing to include several more midwives, baby massage therapists, breastfeeding support persons, and others. Please if you know anyone who you think might be interested in joining us, do not hesitate to invite them.

Two small notes*

* I will be putting together a contact reference list for everyone; if you wouldn’t mind emailing me be back with your full names and contact information, I would greatly appreciate it.

* If you sell any health products, baby products, birthing products, please bring samples or pamphlets along, so that we call all know what is available.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me via phone or email.

I look forward to seeing you all this Saturday.

Sincerely,

Welcome to My Blog!

Hello Everyone,

This sight is still under construction. I will be working on it diligently until I am finished. Until then I have some of the pages up and running. Take a look around and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
