Artist Edie Pijpers and author Nina Mongendre are excited to announce the launch of their new Inner Child and Beyond Oracle Card Deck. “This powerful deck invites you on a journey to wholeness by offering a playful—yet deep and thorough—dive into inner child wounds, joys, fears, needs and more,” shares Pijpers. Deck holders are guided Edie Pijpers and supported each step of the way, with art that speaks to the heart of the inner child, along with a comprehensive guidebook that offers detailed reflections, healing statements, and visualization journeys. “It also includes practical techniques to soothe your nervous system and rewire your brain for resilience and inner peace,” explains Pijpers, a self-taught artist. “The soulful illustrations capture the essence of this journey igniting the joy, innocence and love that are your birthright.” Mongendre has spent the past 15 years guiding others on releasing what doesn’t serve them in order to reclaim joy and purpose in their lives. “I’ve found that when we heal our relationship with ourselves and with our lineage, we experience nourishing and lasting relationships with others. We created this deck as a companion for your journey. Its’ never too late to heal how your childhood lives in you.” “Reclaiming and loving our inner child is key in growing up,” adds Pijpers. “This deck is a pure labor of love. We hope it brings you as much depth and love as it has for us.”

This time, you get to come first. No guilt or shame attached. You’ve always listened to what others have needed and to what they’ve wanted in life.

Free Natural Awakenings Meditation Group
Mind, Body & Breathe, the first collaborative local Natural Awakenings wellness initiative, begins November 16. Each 30-minute session, facilitated by Natural Awakenings NYC and Long Island co-publisher, Michael Lehrman, will consist of a specific breathing technique in combination with meditation. “These sessions will help you take a moment out of your busy day to reconnect with yourself, calm your body and mind, and take a deep breath with fellow Natural Awakenings readers,” he says. Lehrman has practiced meditation for 15 years using mantras and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). “I wanted to create a place to start bringing our community together with no barriers and a safe environment to be together,” he affirms. “I’ve always appreciated the chance to breathe and sit in meditation practice with others benefiting from the shared group dynamic.” The free sessions are open to all, with no experience and no expectations necessary, honoring a collective coming together of Natural Awakenings readers. Participants can choose to be on or off-camera, and the sessions will not be recorded. “Meditation has had such an amazing influence on my life,” shares Lehrman. “Whether it will be your first time meditating, or you’ve been doing it for years, I look forward to the opportunity to share this beneficial practice with many of you.”

Angela Houlie
Angela Houlie, MS, RDN, CDN, is excited to announce the launch of her new eBook My Fruitful Pregnancy: A Complete and Easy Guide to Pregnancy Nutrition. Houlie, a registered dietitian nutritionist and founder of My Fruitful Body Nutrition, says a huge focus of her practice is family nutrition. “As a mom who experienced the benefits of what a nutritious diet can do throughout pregnancy, I enjoy sharing my knowledge with other families and those desiring to become parents,” she explains. “Finding out you are pregnant can be one of the most exciting, yet overwhelming, moments of your life,” shares Houlie. “Whether you’re a veteran mama or this is your first time being pregnant, discerning what to eat is more confusing than ever. During pregnancy, you must eat intentionally and mindfully, and My Fruitful Pregnancy will teach you how to do so.” My Fruitful Pregnancy, a concise 75-page book, helps readers gain confidence in their food choices. “The information is presented in a clear, user-friendly way to help you feel confident in achieving your pregnancy goals and outcomes,” says Houlie. Topics include planning your pregnancy, calorie intake, macronutrients, building your plate, foods that grow a healthy baby, supplements, recipes and more. “Having the ‘pregnancy glow’ is great but feeling that glow on the inside is what matters the most,” adds Houlie.
My Fruitful Pregnancy: A Complete and Easy Guide to Pregnancy Nutrition is available for purchase on Amazon with direct download to Kindle. For more information, call 516-592-2974 or visit MyFruitfulBody.com. See ad, page 10.
