Social Networking Dinner
Saturday 6:30 pm
We are excited to continue the tradition of the social networking and relationship building dinner following completion of Saturday’s lab training day! This was such a wonderful bonding experience last year and I really look forward to getting to know each of you on a more intimate level outside of the learning atmosphere.
I will make reservations at a local restaurant so please be sure to let us know if you will be joining. We promise it will be a nice restaurant, but we won’t break your bank! It will be a pay your own way commencement dinner so as to keep the costs down for those who are unable to attend.

Let’s give our bodies gratitude for allowing us to carry out this transformational work, while nourishing our souls to continue to be healers without depleting our own resources!

Breakfast & Creative Strategic Planning
We will round off the weekend with an interactive annual strategic planning session. You will walk away with a comprehensive quarterly and annual plan to support your professional and personal growth for 2023. You will have all the tools to continue to carry out this process on your own moving forward.
We will be sure to honor your creative side for “Igniting Your Passion and Potential in Work, Home, and Life” -Tami Lynn Kent, Wild Creative.
Plan on 2-3 hours for a start to finish strategic plan that will eliminate the overwhelm, establish healthy boundaries, and create space for joy and growth!
All of these offerings are optional in addition to the complete online CR-MATT course with lifetime access. You will also be able to continue to receive ongoing support in the Essential Pelvic Health Education, private FB group.
