!!! CALLING ALL YOU BEACH BUMS !!!
Blossoming Bellies is extremely excited to offer its one day class in a group setting,
to be held this summer amidst the sand and surf!  
"Birth on the Beach" will be five
hours, from 3 to 8 pm, and will be held on the warm sand of the Jersey Shore.  The
class will meet on the beach in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, less than an hour and a
half from Philadelphia.  The class offers a great opportunity to get away from
everyday stresses - what better place to soak in your pregnancy than in the sun
and sand!  Rest assured that bathroom breaks will be available via my home just
doors away, as well as relief from the sun if the day is too hot.  Refreshments and
snacks will be served all afternoon.  
The cost for the class is only $100.  

Upcoming dates for the one day group class,
"Birth on the Beach," are July 23rd,
July 21st, July 30th, August 5th, and August 20th.  Pre-registration is required;
