Michelle helps people plan, prepare, and experience their own good death by connecting them with their core values for living well, allowing them to make conscious decisions about how they would like to navigate decision-making around aging, dying, and disposition. She provides personalized support for individuals facing death at any stage, including during pregnancy in part by facilitating their own ability to build non-medicalized community support networks and communicate effectively with clinicians, care providers, and loved ones. And she seeks to actively engage people in the after-death experience through family and community-led care for the body and land-based rituals such as natural burial.

Integrating Scar Tissue is Sharon's original discovery and one that she is continually developing and expanding on. There are 19 separate techniques used to integrate different qualities of scar tissue into the fascial web. Most will be demonstrated in class. They are simple to learn and easy to do.

Working with scars is like speaking a different language in the world of connective tissue. Scar tissue is a very dense fascia with unique properties. Scar tissue work uses a casual, light touch - a little reminiscent of working with bread dough.

The work is rarely painful - even for very new scars, and the amount of change in one intervention is extensive. The cosmetic effect is delightful and the functional changes can be profound. Natural and surgical scars of any age respond immediately followed by a short period of rapid healing and continued improvement. The improvements are permanent.

Scar tissue quality changes quickly and easily. Lumps, gaps, ridges, holes, bumps, knots, and strings in the tissue rapidly smooth out into a three-dimensional fascial web. The work starts with the surface layers then goes into the far reaches of the scar, including work with any involved viscera. Scar work often results in large whole-body integration shifts along with trauma resolution, and nerve-impaired numbness usually resolves within a session.

The mission of Good Beginnings of Central Vermont is to bring community to families and their babies. Any family with a new baby is eligible for our free services. Trained, pre-screened Postpartum Angel volunteers provide hands-on help to new parents in the home. Parent drop-in space, The Nest, is open weekly to the community on W, Th, and F. Baby Circles peer-led support groups meet regularly at the Nest and elsewhere in Central Vermont, and anyone caring for an infant is welcome. Expectant parents can enroll in Journey into Parenthood workshops at no cost for information, resources, and practical advice, and peer support that better prepares them for the postpartum period. They provide free infant carriers to low-income families and our Emergency Fund is available for families experiencing a financial crisis. During the pandemic, staff and volunteers continue to support families through expanded virtual services, home deliveries of food and essential supplies, and responding to an increased need for mental health referrals and financial assistance.

Rob Mermin studied under Mime under Marcel Marceau and in addition to being a Mime is a director, lecturer, author, clown, magician, and raconteur. He has Parkinson's Disease and used his training as a mime to develop The Parkinson's Pantomime Project (PD Mime).

PD Mime explores methods of training in specific motor skills adapted from the techniques of pantomime and circus to modify or alleviate symptoms of idiopathic PD. One goal of the PD Mime classes is to trigger the Paradoxical Kinesia Impulse (PKI) as a movement management strategy.
