Local Limelight: Weeklyish Articles Of Interest
Watch Out For #1
By Jonathan Davis
Breast-feeding is about as “green” as can be when it comes to how to feed your baby. Even though providing the proper food for your child the way it was naturally intended, complications can still occur.
Now, I don’t remember breast-feeding and I didn’t bring it up last time I spoke with my mom, but if there were complications with us, she could have gone to Zenana Spa and Wellness Center for help. Support like lactation services can be taken advantage of prior to getting a manicure, pedicure, or message appointment. Full service takes on a new meaning at Zenana Spa and Wellness Center with so many options to choose from for pregnant or parenting families as I found out when I met with Zenana.
Zenana, who spent 8 years as a delivery nurse, started her Spa and Wellness Center since “moms and dads spend a lot of time caring for their family and children, nurturing everyone else.” Says Zenana. “It’s important to take the time to nurture yourself. If you’re cared for, you’ll do a better job with those around you” she said.
Being that she was already in the maternity field and was already a lactation consultant with Beyond Birth, she found a niche in providing spa services “for pregnant and parenting families” here in Portland, Oregon.
Nurturing can come in these fashions:
- Facials, waxing, pedicures, and manicures
- Naturopath and Chiropractor
- Nails – natural only! Sorry, no tips or acrylics.
- Lactation services
- Childcare
- Classes from experts in their respective field of teach like:
- Child birth education, breast feeding support group, yoga, and pilates. Prenatal mom and baby yoga and pilates. There are parenting classes, relationship workshops, couple message class, and even a belly dance class.
With a major focus on providing healthy living for prenatal and parenting families, it is no surprise Zenana Spa and Wellness Center strives at being as environmentally conscious.
For instance, the nail service reuses its files and buffers by sterilizing them, and the skin care line is all fruit, spice, and herb based allowing the label to be easily understood. Keeping up with working with other local businesses, they consign with other Portland mothers to sell their mom, baby, and jewelry products. Most recently, a green team has been put together to look at other ways to make Zenana Spa and Wellness Center even more sustainable to continue providing a healthy environment for those living a healthy lifestyle.
The laundry is done, the food is on the table, the shelf is finally up, and the kids are on their way to school. After you morning meeting and before your grocery store run, take the time to pamper yourself, because watching out for #1 every once in while does a family good.
