Celebrating Women
I don’t know about you, but I love any opportunity to recognize the women who add richness and beauty to my life. Our friends, mothers and daughters are some of the most influential women in our lives. Of course, with Mother’s Day this month, all eyes are on moms—not just the biological mothers, but the mother figures in our lives who have made an indelible impact on us. It’s the family members, teachers, friends and neighbors doing incredible things in our communities, pouring into our lives and making themselves unforgettable and irreplaceable.
With this in mind, we’ve partnered with Women100, a local nonprofit dedicated to empowering women to lead with purpose and impact, to create the Voices of Vision Award. This award, to be presented at the Women100 First Annual Gala on May 9, recognizes the achievements and impact of outstanding women in the community. We are thrilled to be sharing with you the stories of some of the nominees for this award on our social media pages and hope you’ll follow along there as well to help celebrate the amazing ladies that you’ve nominated, who’ve paved the way for all of us to thrive.
While it’s always important to shop local and support our area businesses, this month is the perfect time to patronize businesses owned by women in our communities. That’s one of my favorite parts of this role—connecting with and championing the best of the best when it comes to East Cincinnati. They are movers and shakers, builders and makers. They are both seen and unseen. Their silent service blesses those who are under their care. Their attention to detail shows us something about beauty that can’t be seen or understood any other way.
I hope you’ll take a few minutes to send a text, make a phone call or get your kids on a video call with the women in your life who deserve recognition. It only takes a minute to brighten someone’s day and remind them how much you love them!

Three Needles Stitchery Builds a Thriving Stitching Community
Needlepoint is no longer a hobby of the past— it’s a vibrant, growing craft that’s bringing people together in new and exciting ways. In Cincinnati, Three Needles Stitchery is at the forefront of this movement, creating a space where stitchers of all skill levels can connect, learn and celebrate their shared passion. Founded by locals Nikki Daley, Anne Ellington and Jen Hall, Three Needles Stitchery launched in 2024 with the goal of uniting stitchers from around the country. Their first signature retreat, held at the Kenwood Country Club in February, exceeded all expectations, drawing 148 attendees from 22 states.
The idea for Three Needles Stitchery started with a simple yet powerful realization: Cincinnati needed a needlepoint retreat. Jen had previously hosted a breakfast gathering for stitchers, and the enthusiasm it generated convinced her, Nikki and Anne that a larger event could be a huge success. Each co-founder brings something unique to the table—Anne, the most experienced stitcher, has a passion for teaching; Jen is a talented designer with a thriving canvas line; and Nikki fell in love with needlepoint after learning from them both, drawn in by the craft’s mix of texture, color and creativity.
“Needlepoint has experienced an incredible resurgence,” Nikki explains. “Social media and the pandemic introduced it to a new generation, breaking the old stereotype that it

was just for an older crowd. In reality, this is an incredibly social and supportive community. People crave real human connection, and needlepoint circles are bringing that back—real conversations, real friendships and no screens in sight.”
Their inaugural two-day retreat was designed for both beginners and seasoned stitchers, featuring hands-on stitching, vendors, happy hours and an exclusive swag bag. Local needlepoint stores opened their doors for private shopping events. Attendees had the option to take specialized classes, including a beading and decorative stitch workshop.
The response was overwhelming. Initially planned for around 50 attendees, the event quickly grew to nearly three times that number.
“The retreat brought together stitchers of all ages with a common love of needlepointing,” Anne explains. “The retreat brought so much joy and energy to the group, it was amazing to witness!"

Jen shares that creating these retreats for people was a natural progression.
"We didn’t initially set out to create a business around needlepoint, but after receiving so much positive feedback and requests for future retreats, we realized there was a real desire for these events,” she explains. “We are thrilled with how it’s come together."
With such an incredible debut event, Three Needles Stitchery is already looking ahead. They plan to host a two-day signature retreat every February, with a one-day mini retreat each August. Though the company is focused on retreats for now, both Nikki and Jen run their own businesses—NikStitch and Jennifer Hall Needlepoint—selling canvases, threads and stitching accessories.
For those curious about needlepoint but unsure where to start, the co-founders encourage taking a beginner’s class with Jen or Anne.
“They’ll walk you through everything—from starting your canvas to mastering different stitching techniques,” Nikki says. “And they’ll keep answering your questions long after class is over.”
Ultimately, Three Needles Stitchery is about more than just needlepoint—it’s about building a community. Whether you’re a lifelong stitcher or just picking up a needle for the first time, this group welcomes you with open arms.
“You can create something truly unique, something you’re proud of,” Nikki says. “And in the process, you’ll meet some of the most wonderful, supportive people out there.”
Save the date for Three Needles Stitchery’s upcoming events: Mini Retreat–August 10, 2025 and the two-day Signature Retreat–February 27-28, 2026.

to create small changes that are making big steps for women and girls.”

WOMEN’S H EALTHQ&A
Women’s health issues are at the forefront at Onward Physical Therapy in Montgomery. Dr. Andrea Reed tackles pelvic floor issues with a proactive, customized women’s health plan. Her tailored treatments help women stay fit and on track with their favorite fitness activities. Dr. Reed answers our questions about pelvic floor health.
Q: WHY IS THERE SO MUCH STIGMA AROUND WOMEN’S PELVIC HEALTH ISSUES?
A: Women are not expected to talk about sexual health, perinatal or postpartum experiences - it's considered unladylike. We don't have as much information about women's bodies as men’s and that carries over to the treatments that are available. Thankfully, women are becoming more proactive about asking for treatment options, instead of just waiting for providers to suggest them.

Andrea Reed’s Proactive Treatments Help Patients Thrive
ARTICLE BY TERA MICHELSON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY RF GRAPHICS
Q: WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT PELVIC HEALTH?
A: One in four women report experiencing at least one pelvic floor disorder. Unfortunately, these symptoms are often dismissed as “normal” due to their prevalence. Just because they’re common doesn’t mean you have to live with them! Onward is here to empower women and give them hope.
Q: WHAT SYMPTOMS SHOULD WOMEN BE LOOKING FOR?
A: The symptoms that women might have are: leaking, pelvic discomfort like feelings of heaviness, bulging or feeling like they might have a tampon inserted. A lot of women have no idea what it is, and they have no idea that it can be treated.
Q: WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT OPTIONS?
A: Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is a lot about learning about your own body: are you doing what you think you're doing with your pelvic floor? And then, when we get the coordination right, we can work on strength. We learn different techniques to mitigate pressure. We look at techniques, position, modifying weight and more.
Q: DO MOST WOMEN HAVE A SUCCESSFUL RESPONSE TO TREATMENTS?
A: Yes—absolutely, yes. There’s evidence that education can have a huge impact on symptoms. We could just have a virtual appointment and a conversation and that alone could actually impact women's lives in a huge way. Women can be thriving in the perinatal space instead of feeling held back.
Contact Dr. Andrea Reed at Onward Physical Therapy to discuss your pelvic health or birth wellness journey. Onward’s fitness forward approach can prepare your body to get back to doing what you love to do.

Extend the creative flair to pastries, introducing a variety of shapes, colors and textures. Citrus-infused sugar cookies,
raspberry tarts, mini strawberry Belgian waffles and salted caramels are visually alluring and add an extra layer of delight to the overall presentation.
The beauty of crafting a charcuterie board lies in its versatility – an opportunity to showcase your thoughtfulness and create an experience tailored to your loved ones.

A charcuterTEA is a delightful way to make your mother feel extra special. Simply fill a teacup with her favorite confections and unique flavor combinations for an individual experience of love and gratitude.

Designing With Amy is Building the Future
Women are not just participating in construction; they are leading it.
“I really enjoy owning a design and construction business,” says Amy Ostigny of Designing with Amy. “It’s having the ability to bring ideas to life.”
These past five years, Ostigny and her skilled crew of 30 have completed more than a thousand residential and commercial projects throughout the Tristate area. Now, she has begun work on national jobs with a traveling team.
“Last year we did 200 construction projects,” Ostigny shares. “It has been quite a fun journey making beautiful homes!”
Ostigny’s team has built its winning reputation on top-notch design, bathroom and kitchen remodeling, interior and exterior painting, home additions and new builds.
Ostigny graduated from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning. She has since served as president of both that school’s board and of the national Commercial Real Estate Women Network. She is a member of the Homebuilder’s Association of Greater Cincinnati.
“Achieving success in design and construction has completely shifted my perspective,” Ostigny says. “Not just professionally, but personally. It has shown me the power of perseverance, the importance of trusting my vision and the value of showing up with confidence, even in the spaces where I may be underestimated.”
Ostigny eagerly offers guidance for other women who might be considering chasing down their own lofty dreams.
“Stay true to yourself,” she advises. “Authenticity fosters genuine relationships, and allows you to bring unique perspectives to your projects.”
Ostigny is proving that construction is not just a man’s world. The construction industry is about skill, intelligence and leadership–qualities that women bring in abundance.
“The progress made by women in construction is undeniable,” says Ostigny. “With continued support, the construction industry will become a field where talent and determination matter more than gender.”

First Lady of Yoga
Take a Break with Lilias Folan: Mother, Grandmother, Yogi to the Nation
Decades before the popularity of the modern-day social influencer, longtime Indian Hill resident Lilias Folan was championing self-care and mental health in the practice of yoga. Now, as an 89-year-old mother and grandmother, she continues a daily practice and lives with gratefulness.
As a busy spouse and young mother of two, Lilias found refuge in the stretching, breathing and postures of yoga in community classes in 1964 New York. Her love of the practice deepened as she experienced its uplifting health benefits.
“Before I started a yoga practice, I was feeling kind of out of it,” says Lilias. “After my very first class, I felt so

much better—not just physically, but emotionally. Yoga helped me to start to breathe properly and move intelligently.”
With the support of her husband, Lilias traveled to India for a month of intensive study and returned a committed yogi. Following their family’s move to Indian Hill in 1968, Lilias was teaching a class at a Cincinnati-area Y, and was discovered by a popular producer, whose spouse had attended and enjoyed her teaching. She became the host of a weekly television show, “Lilias, Yoga and You,” first broadcast on WCET Cincinnati in 1970.
“I never thought of it as a ‘show,’” explains Lilias. “I was teaching to the red light on the camera, knowing there were students on the other side that needed to stretch, breathe and take a break. It was a spiritual experience. Somehow, the universe was there with me, and we did a class together. It was an otherworldly gift.”
By 1973, the popular program was picked up by public television stations across the country, introducing yoga to a national audience. The familiar face and soothing voice of Lilias was welcomed into American living rooms through 1999, making yoga accessible to people of all body types and situations. Coined “The First Lady of Yoga,” Lilias demystified the ancient practice with inviting, step-by-step instructions. Her goal was never fame or fortune, but to share the gift of yoga.
“During her time at WCET, she was a volunteer,” explains Matt Folan, Lilias’ son. “She had a calling to share her center through yoga. She taught a class through the camera.”
Still today, the quintessential teacher, mother and grandmother continues to invite others to join her in practice, wherever they are.
“Yoga is not exotic—although it can be full of wonderful, fun postures, it can be as simple as stretching at your basket at Kroger, breathing or even yawning,” Lilias says.
“She still inspires us every single day,” shares Lesley Folan, Lilias’ daughter-in-law. “She is so genuine—she is yoga: she embodies yoga and the spirituality of it.”
“At the heart of Lilias is her spiritual journey,” Matt adds. “As her son, she has helped me have a wide perspective on spirituality and life. I’m thankful for my moment on this planet. It has been a journey of love and compassion.”
Lilias gives permission to pause, take a deep breath and stretch our bodies and minds before we push forward.
“Yoga will give you a pop of energy to go on and do what you have to do next,” Lilias advises. “A wonderful stretch is such a blessing. The whole body goes, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’”
