Find a need and fill it.

This has been the “mantra” and driving force behind my professional career (and all of my endeavors) and how I try to live my life.

Being a wife and a mother, who also wants to contribute financially to her family, is hard to balance. The reward has to be worth the sacrifice of being away from the home and less available to the family. Flexibility and knowing that I am filling a need, big or small, has made all the difference in being able to sustain that balance.

And let’s not forget the universal law of inevitability that needs will change.
Ours. Our family’s. Our community’s and our world’s. You will need to shift and pivot, find a new way, find a new need that you’re able to fill, but you will always have something to offer.

One constant need?
Support.
And there are so many ways to make an income doing just that.

Are you interested in learning to support women and families during pregnancy, labor, postpartum and beyond? Are you ready to learn holistic and realistic ways to care for your family and support others? Are you ready to have a career that serves you and fills your cup?

I am beyond excited to be expanding my offerings for training new doulas, supporting and mentoring current doulas, and offering local educational retreats and distance learning opportunities for women that will feel like a vacation and send you home with new skills, a renewed sense of motivation and an inspired spirit!

✨ Send me a message and we can chat more!

What is a Doula?
​
A doula is a trained, non-medical support person who provides physical, emotional, educational and spiritual support to women during major medical events in their life. Those events can include fertility, birth, pregnancy loss, death, etc.

Today’s prenatal appointment included a hands-on (and PAWS-on) lesson on labor positions and comfort measures, and the whole family got involved! 🤣

I wanted to reach out and see how everyone is doing through all of this!
HOW IS EVERYONE??
I hope that you are healthy, feeling good and staying safe.
Please let me know how you are and if there is anything I can do. I'm not seeing patients, of course, but I'm happy to talk, give suggestions or help you find any resources you may need. 💗

In accordance with local and federal guidelines and to do our part to combat the spread of Covid-19, we have made the difficult decision to close Nashville Orthopedic Massage & Wellness, at least through March 31st.
This was a difficult decision as we understand this will disrupt your progress toward resolving your physical pain and discomfort. It will also impact us financially. However, we cannot in good conscience stay open during this time. Our concern is for you as our clientele, as well as for our family and community at large.

Gift certificates are available for purchase now, to be used when we are safe to go back to work.

We will be in touch with those of you who already have future appointments scheduled on our books. Please continue to check our online calendar to see open appointments.

We wish you all good health and safety.

Sincerely,
Lew & Sarah Braswell
