Self Care in Pregnancy

Wednesday, February 24

7:00 to 8:30pm

at the Athens Library


Join us for a conversation about how to take care of yourself in pregnancy, including: exercise and relaxation, emotional well-being, diet and supplements, preparing for breastfeeding and other changes, and how to pamper yourself!


*This month's Evening Sponsor is Kelley Evans, PhD, Certified BodyTalk Practitioner. BodyTalk is an alternative health practice that motivates the body’s potential to heal itself. BodyTalk sessions involve a questioning process that finds which parts of the body need better communication and harmony. A light tapping technique is used to help the brain restore communication. Each session is tailored to your body’s specific priorities for healing.

Safe, effective, and noninvasive, BodyTalk can help with pregnancy and after, helping prepare and sustain yourself physically and emotionally. BodyTalk is also great for anyone—babies, children, spouses, and grandparents alike. In addition to helping the body balance the stresses of pregnancy, BodyTalk typically improves conditions such as allergies, joint pain, and digestive disorders, as well as depression and anxiety. BodyTalk complements Western and alternative medicines.

Kelley does BodyTalk sessions at Inhale Yoga Studio, 8 N. Court St., Garden Level. An initial session is $75, and follow-up sessions are $60. She can be reached at her cell phone, 254-644-1664, or by email, kel_e_evans@yahoo.com.
