Pregnant Body Cast by Racheal Ever thought about capturing that special moment? Well, now you can with a beautiful Pregnant Body Cast by Racheal.

A native of New Zealand, a Maori, Racheal Ward grew up in Australia, and now lives in Columbus, Ohio. Racheal was inspired by her first pregnancy back in 2000, three days before her son Sydney was born.

With the help of her husband, Darryl, they proceeded to make their first body cast, which is made out of plaster bandages, decoupage with tissue paper and a free-hand design, drawn and painted with acrylics.

She named her Body Cast "Lotus." (In Buddhism, the Lotus is associated with enlightenment. The leaves and flowers open at dawn and close at dusk, making this a perfect symbol of light. The Lotus also represents Cosmic Harmony, and Racheal felt very much in harmony throughout her whole pregnancy, thus feeling enlightened.)

If you are pregnant or know someone who is and would like to celebrate the pregnancy with an original piece of art, please call Racheal for further information:

Nationally Certified in Acupuncture and Herbology by the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, David Wang, O.M.D., brings 20 years of experience to AIAM. To schedule an appointment, please call 614.825.6255 today.

American Institute of Alternative Medicine American Institute of Alternative Medicine, professional acupuncture and massage clinic.

Massage therapy gives your immune system a wonderful boost! Lymph fluid is hastened along and white blood cell production is increased for several hours, heightening the body's resistance to disease. Massage will also increase the blood supply and nutrition to muscles without adding to their load of toxic lactic acid produced through voluntary muscle contraction.

Massage therapy opens blood vessels, improving circulation and relieving congestion. Whether for stress reduction or the medical benefits, call AIAM today to schedule an appointment with your therapist of choice.

Gift Certificates, books, health products, massage supplies and equipment are also available.

The Wellness Forum Nutritionally confused? Convinced that diet and lifestyle changes could help solve your health and weight problems? Know you're going to need some help?

At The Wellness Forum, we believe that health improvement and weight loss can only happen when permanent diet and lifestyle changes are made. Although there's lots of information out there, most people don't know how to sort it out and don’t know how to apply the information to their daily lives. Furthermore, most people aren’t aware of how much industry and advertising affect the health information they receive.

The Wellness Forum is an international, independent educational organization offering unbiased information in a user-friendly format with several support options.

Guided Imagery & Phychotherapy
Guided Imagery is the deliberate creation of sensory images (a thought that you can mentally see, hear, taste, smell, touch, and feel) in your mind which can improve your physical, mental, and emotional health. As your imagery guide, my goal is to assist you in connecting with your deeper resources of insight, creativity, and healing, thus enabling you to find new solutions to your problems.

Because Guided Imagery techniques carry few, if any, negative side effects when used properly, they can be an ideal adjunct to many other types of therapy and treatment.

Guided Imagery has been shown to be very helpful with many physical and emotional issues, but seems to be particularly effective when used to address conditions that are caused or aggravated by stress, such as: blood pressure, headaches, pain, gastrointestinal disorders, sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression. Guided imagery can also be very useful in enhancing creativity, working through an internal conflict, searching for meaning and purpose, and relaxation.

Please call 614-264-0355 to schedule an appointment. My office is located at 2525 Oakstone Drive, Suite B., Columbus, Ohio 43231. For more information, please see my website, www.lorahanna.com. (Website coming soon in Spring 2004). Mention this ad and receive 10% off your first session.
