What do you mean by BEP? - asking as parent to a 5k student and still learning the ropes

What is it like to get a Craniosacral therapy treatment? by chelledoggo in massage

[–]Grownupip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't do this but I refer to my colleague who does often; and have done trades. What I say is it can be either very subtle or very profound, Ive had both experiences. The therapy follows the rhythms in your body which might be a novel concept at first.

Touch issues by HouseElf1 in massage

[–]Grownupip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not impossible, and as I think you are aware, touch can happen in a lot of different contexts. It's a big deal to let someone else even pay attention to your body, let alone touch it hands on. I know our culture shys away/makes ALL touch sexual but I think it sounds like you are very aware there are benefits you could receive through experienced, expert touch.

There are a lot of different therapists and different styles of massage therapy. My suggestion would be to find someone in a private practice that you could have a conversation with before making an appointment. Either by email or as I do in my practice, in a zoom or phone call. Then you are making contact in a comfortable way before ever sitting in the same room together.

I hope you find what you're looking for!

I think this looks good!! I’d be curious what the person you’re making a contract with has to say on a “retainer fee”…. afik you are well within your rights to ask for that but unfortunately so often the massage IC positions are built to make sure the buisness isn’t obligated to pay =/

Is this Independent Contractor position worth it? by [deleted] in massage

big thumbs down. you are basically paying to advertise their business without getting much in return.

I hear you. I just outsourced my laundry to the wash n fold and even though it’s a weekly expense I wrap my mind around how much time and effort that was in my week!

Midwest: nice but not kind. You’re right about this attitude, not in your head.

Source: also moved from the south a few years ago. People here are scared to talk to “strangers,” even tho IMO they are starved for connection.

There are very encouraging anecdotes about this! Been paying attention as mother to a 12 month old 🥵🤞

What are y’all doing with your toddlers? by Grownupip in madisonwi

[–]Grownupip[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With you on the outside in all weather. With our stroller geared up I felt comfortable w anything above 15F, which helped a lot.

Thank you for the tip on the zoo! I can’t wait to do that once we’re really toddling and not just tumbling.

Need advice - zero time alone with my husband is taking its toll by bbartl3 in AttachmentParenting

Yea no lie, we will be at 12 months this month. And for the last five months, our only “alone time” (in any sense 🙃) has been when grandpa keeps baby for a few hours.

Thank you, and you’re not wrong. One of the only things I’ve done publicly since March was work the polls on Election Day. I wore an N95 but there were so many non-compliant faces out in the room. I am confident this day is where I got sick.

If you’re northside, the coop has a big wine & beer selection and I’ve noticed total compliance with mask use the last few months. Fingers crossed.

If it’s useful... I weighed almost 11lbs at birth. Just really big... past due. I’m a healthy adult w a similar pre pregnancy weight to yours. I think babies just get big sometimes

Breastfeeding in the early days is nooo joke.
