Goals in 2017
I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions. I prefer to set daily intentions and make changes as I see fit on a regular basis rather than waiting until the start of a calendar year. But the start of the year does tend to be a great time for goal-setting, and announcing these goals encourages accountability as well as informs others of what's to come. So here's the short list of what I'm hoping to accomplish in the 2017 calendar year:
Establish a BIRTHFIT NC training facility. I am currently looking for a new office space that will also serve as a place where women in the Motherhood Transition (from preconception through the first year postpartum) can train. Fitness is one of the BIRTHFIT four pillars for a reason: it's incredibly important for a healthy mom and healthy baby. But working out simply for the sake of working out is different than training for the Motherhood Transition. BIRTHFIT training is geared towards this time period, and is therefore a necessity for the best prenatal, birth, and postpartum experience possible. I have some great coaches currently in training to provide excellent guidance for clients! And my facility will always remain child-friendly.
Work closely with other healthcare practitioners. I am hoping that my new location will include other health professionals. I want women to feel comfortable coming to appointments and/or training and take care of themselves without having to travel all over the Triangle area. My hope is for the following to be located under one roof: chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, counseling/psychotherapy, fitness training, yoga, doula referrals, childbirth education. (If you are a professional under one of those categories and are interested in collaborating, please contact me info(@)trianglecrc(.)com.)
Grow the BIRTHFIT Community in NC. I am offering the BIRTHFIT Prenatal Series, the BIRTHFIT Postpartum Series, the BIRTHFIT Workshop, and individual BIRTHFIT Consultations throughout the year. I plan for a busy year connecting with women and their families! The tentative schedule for the year is posted here! And I'm so happy to announce that with the latest additions to the BIRTHFIT Regional Directors, we now have BIRTHFIT in Charlotte!
Improve patient care. I am so proud of the work that I do with each of my patients. I strive to help them improve themselves and their lives. But I am not done growing; I never will be! I continually read and am already registered for several continuing education courses for this year so that I can continue to learn and grow as a clinician. I want the best for my patients, which means I require the best from myself.
Grow my business. I am establishing a new position within my company this year, and am excited to fill it with the right person! (If you're interested in part-time, flexible work in a family-friendly environment, contact me info(@)trianglecrc(.)com.)
While 2016 was hard on a lot of people, it was a year of great growth for myself, my family, and my company. I am truly looking forward to 2017!
