Vendor Spotlight: Earth Mother Midwife



Midwife means “with woman.” She is a caretaker of women and their babies and the guardian of normal birth.  Midwives have attended women at birth from the beginning of time.  They were the sisters, grandmothers, wise women; those that truly knew how to be “with women.” 

In more recent years we’ve moved away from midwife-attended birth, assuming that more technology meant better outcomes.  We have found, in fact, that the opposite is true; statistics have shown that outcomes at midwife attended births are as good or better than OB attended births, with fewer medical interventions and all the risks related to intervening in a natural process. 

Midwives provide the skills and knowledge needed from the first pap smear, the childbearing cycle and through menopause.

With Earth Mother Midwife you receive the loving care and wisdom that the tradition of midwifery provides in combination with the training and skills modern science can provide.

Vendor Spotlight: Arbonne International

The idea to provide skin care products unparalleled in quality and effectiveness developed in Switzerland in 1975, when one man, Petter Mørck, together with a group of leading bio-chemists, biologists and herbalists, fulfilled his vision and founded Arbonne.

Arbonne's skin care products, based on botanical principles, became a reality in the United States in 1980 and are now shared throughout the world through Arbonne's network of Independent Consultants. Building on these same founding principles, Arbonne's product line has since grown to include both inner and outer health and beauty products that are unparalleled in quality, safety, value, benefits and results!

The wonderful thing about Arbonne is that it's not just about great products, it's also about great people. The Arbonne family is made up of thousands of individuals working to make their dreams come true. Through sales incentives and rewards, travel opportunities, a generous SuccessPlan and great products, Arbonne offers a unique opportunity that can help make anyone's vision for the future a reality.

Join Suzy Fallon at Living Well for an easy holiday make-up how-to and head into the holidays armed with simple makeup tips that will add dazzle to your looks and sparkle to your personality!

Special guest speaker, Ms. Wheelchair USA, Tasha Schuh!

While practicing for the high school production of The Wizard of Oz, Tasha took a step back into nothing.  Unbeknown to her, a trap door in the stage floor was opened for a set change; she fell 16 feet to a cement floor, landing on her head with all of her body weight on top of her.  She broke her neck and severely crushed her spinal cord.  The accident left her paralyzed from the chest down.

When the doctors told her that she would never walk again she was overcome with depression, sadness and hopelessness.  She was also filled with many negative thoughts and limiting beliefs... what would be able to accomplish in life while confined to a wheelchair? 

“I spent many months feeling lost and sorry for myself, when it finally struck me that to be happy and fulfilled I would need to make some changes,” Tasha shares.  “I couldn't control the circumstances of the accident or the outcome of my injury. I could, however, control my attitude, my way of thinking and the thoughts I chose to believe.”  Tasha became conscious of the fact that her negativity and limiting beliefs were not helping to get her where she needed to be, and it was then that she began thinking about what she was thinking about.

She started examining her thoughts and realized that if she was going to get somewhere in life she needed to take the limiting beliefs and turn them around by thinking positively instead.  Having recently become a Christian, she turned to the Bible for the positive words.

Fifteen years later she has overcome more than she ever thought possible and she’ll be sharing her experience at this year’s Living Well event.  At 6:30pm that evening, attendees will be invited to join her in the library for, “My Last Step Backwards”. In this inspiring talk you’ll hear Tasha’s story recounted in her own words, learn the lessons she’s not only accepted, but embraced for her life, and discover how you, too, can apply these important life principles in your own life.  Before and after her talk you can find Tasha in the Commons Area where she will be answering questions and sharing about the release of her first book.

Vendor Spotlight: Shady Lane Farm

Shady Lane Farm…wholesome goodness awaits you here! Our family works hard to offer only high-quality, health-filled products, formulated from carefully sought-out ingredients. We make over 65 different soaps, body powders, balms, reed diffusers and other items for the body and home.

We are a rural Wisconsin small-farm family, committed to seeking out healthy alternatives to conventional foods, body care, and products for the home. I began making natural body powder from food-grade ingredients and have expanded into bar soaps, liquid soaps, balms and many other items. Healthy eating is also a family passion, and I'm in the process of "health-izing" many old family recipes and putting them into a book (maybe you'll see that listed on our site in the future!)

Shady Lane Farm Products can be found throughout our community in a variety of retail stores, the offices of health practitioners, an apple orchard, and small businesses.  We are proud of the fact that several area bed and breakfast establishments have chosen Shady Lane Farm soaps and shampoo bars for their guests to enjoy in their inn rooms. We also feature our products at local farmers' markets, craft sales, and other special events.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at Living Well!

Vendor Spotlight: Norwex

Norwex® mission is to improve the quality of life by radically reducing the use of chemicals in personal care and cleaning.

With the Norwex® Microfiber system, you don’t breathe, touch, or ingest chemicals—you simply utilize water and create a cleaner and healthier indoor environment that is the true test of The REAL Clean. Norwex® micro fiber comes with a 2 year guarantee.  True cleanliness does not smell—we have become accustom to smelling chemicals that trick us into thinking our surfaces are clean.  Unlike cotton cloths that will spread the dirt, grease and other particles, Norwex® antibac  microfiber, when used wet, lifts these particles up into the cloth and away from the surface.  Once inside the cloth, the micro silver in the cloth goes to work with self-purification properties against mold, fungi and bacterial odor within 24 hours, so that it is ready to use again.    Norwex® products decrease cleaning time by up to a remarkable 75% or more.  The average household spends $450-$600 a year on chemical cleaning products and supplies. By using Norwex products you can realize up to a 90% savings!
 
For tougher cleaning jobs, Norwex® boasts an extensive line of natural enzyme based products that allow you to tackle through tough cleaning jobs without the using harmful chemicals.
Norwex® also has a personal care line that aligns with their mission.  If we are reducing chemicals on your counters, floors, tub, etc., why would we then, put chemicals on our skin to remove make-up, cleanse, and exfoliate?  This can be done in one simple step, using just water and the Norwex® body cloth or eye make-up remover cloth.  Follow up with any of Norwex’s ECOCERT organic products to rejuvenate the appearance of the skin to reduce the signs of aging leaving you with radiant results.

Taking Care for you, taking care of our environment.

Vendor Spotlight: TreSkinRX

TreSkinRX has a focus on improving the health of your skin with the goal of  a beautiful, healthy look that gives you the confidence to face the world looking your best!

Despite its importance in maintaining skin health, exfoliation is either missing from most skin care regimes or is done improperly. Without exfoliation, your keratin levels (dead skin cells) will build and thicken, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines and a generally dull complexion. Proper exfoliation helps you avoid these issues and maintain healthy, vibrant skin. The flagship product in the TreSkinRX product collection is a patented daily exfoliant, EX3. EX3 works to remove dead skin cells, as well as accelerate tissue regeneration and new cell growth. The active ingredients within our formulations are delivered deep into the skin through a 100% organic base of pharmaceutical-grade aloe vera making it one of the strongest over-the-counter exfoliants available. EX3 is similar in strength to a doctor's office peel yet safe enough for daily at-home use.

Our line of skincare products are supported by scientific research and formulated with a base of certified organic, pharmaceutical-grade aloe vera. Developed by a board-certified plastic surgeon and noted aloe researcher, the TreSkinRX line works to achieve healthier, younger-looking skin, regardless of type, tone or age.

At the Living Well event you can get your own 2 week trial kit for just $15.00.  And sign-up to save 15% on all products.  You will love that the products are shipped right to your door.  You order online and just a few days later the products are delivered to you.  This means you do not have to coordinate your schedule with your consultant’s schedule. And in our busy world that is a big plus!

Vendor Spotlight: Lady Katherine

Lady Katherine 'women's fitness with a touch of sass' is a safe, supportive, female-only studio where women come to get fit. While they are creating strong, firm bodies in a fun, positive environment, they are also making friends and reconnecting with their 'feminine essence'.

Student Testimonial "I just wanted to share with you some results I have noticed. Before taking classes with Lady Katherine I took my weight and measurements. In 8 weeks of taking classes (without changing my diet) I have lost 6.5 lbs and a total of 11 inches all over my body! The biggest loss was around my belly button with 4" gone! I am so impressed I can't wait to see what results the next 8 weeks will bring to me. Thank you for the support and wonderful environment you provide to students to reshape their bodies and lives." Michelle, Hudson, WI

We have fitness classes for every fitness level, make and model. Our more traditional fitness classes include Abs & Booty, Body Booty Camp. In these classes we use weights, therabands and work on the mat to trim, tone, shape and firm your entire body. We do not use any filler moves - every move counts and makes a difference. Your exercise investment is valuable and we do not waste your time, energy or money. You leave class knowing that you worked hard! That's why students experience fast, effective results.

Our alternative fitness classes include Pole Dance and Signature, which is Exotic Dance for fitness. These classes work with the natural design of a woman's body, using smooth, circular, flowing movements much like belly dance to simultaneously engage multiple muscle groups creating an extremely effective workout targeting the typical female areas of concern - muffin tops, back breasts, tummy pouches, saddle bags and more. Because this is a new way of working out for most ladies the results come fast and right where you want them.

We also have the best parties! Our pole dance parties are a safe, affordable and super fun alternative to celebrating your special event or girls night out at the bar. We do a strip tease out of a man's dress shirt, then go to the pole for a complete pole routine. You bring the ladies - we bring the fun!!!! Full details at our website.
