| Dr Raquel Borges: Pregnancy & Postnatal Massage |

Dr Raquel Borges - Massage Treatments:
Pregnancy & Postnatal Massage
Pregnancy is a time for great excitement: presenting the transformation of a woman's life. This special time brings many emotional and physical changes.
It can be a time of joy and delight but no one would deny that it can also be a trial. As your bulge swells and the baby grows, there is strain on your muscles and pressure on your joints. Deep therapeutic techniques can ease all associated conditions such as back pain, fluid retention, breast tenderness, mood swing, leg cramps, sacroiliac pain, constipation, cramp, sciatica, circulation problems, tiredness and numbness. What’s more, particularly for first time mums, it can be an unfamiliar and nerve wracking experience.
I love giving pregnancy massage and believe it is one of the safest and most rewarding things a woman can receive to look after herself during pregnancy.

| The Importance of Sovereign Local Organisations |
| May 22 2009 20:11:14 |
The Importance of Sovereign Local Organisationsby Doug Reeler, Community Development Resource Association
The word sovereignty is well-used by small-farmer organisations and allied practitioners when they speak of food sovereignty or seed sovereignty as a right of autonomous self-reliance, of local ownership, of decision-making from a stance of consciousness and free-choice, not subject to the will and whims of those outside who may seek to control or exploit. |
