What's Going on at Bloom
I am still busy adding new resources to Bloom's list of midwives, doulas, childbirth educators and holistic health practitioners. It amazes me that a year after this site was first launched there are still so many undiscovered treasures in Spokane's natural birth community. In the coming months I will interview a variety of local health professionals and natural birth experts for the Bloom Blog. I look forward to sharing their insights with you on the blog and welcome your suggestions for topics you'd like to see in future articles. Please email Tine Reese at info@bloomspokane.com with your ideas!
I am also brainstorming ways to take Bloom "offline" and into the community this fall, beginning with a series of classes to introduce women and their partners to our local natural birth professionals and provide information about pregnancy, birth and parenting that they will definitely not find anywhere else!
