Spring Detox Class at Seeds in Hampden
The cleansing energy of spring is a reminder to nurture and tend to our livers. The liver has the ever important task of filtering through all of the toxins that we encounter in our food and environment.
The term “detox” is often misused as a means of simply clearing out the digestive tract. Detoxification is rather a holistic process that recognizes all systems the body uses to release and reduce toxins – through the breath, digestion, skin and urinary tract.
The Spring Detox class is designed as a holistic approach to detoxification which will address diet and lifestyle factors that impact wellness. Each week will have a different focus:
Week 1: Love your Liver
Week 2: Healing the Gut
Week 3: Calming Down the Troops (lowering inflammation)
Week 4: Bringing it all Home – Detox in the Everyday
Each week different food groups will be eliminated from the diet to support the immune system and promote healing in the gastrointestinal tract.
Price of the class includes handouts, a rice-based protein powder which will enhance detox pathways in the liver, and an Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook.
Dates: Wednesdays April 29th, May 6th, 13th and 20th
Time: 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Location: Seeds Center for Whole Health
3600 Roland Ave Ste 4
Baltimore, MD 21211
To Register: Call Dr. Emily at (443) 226-7665
Class Limit: 10 participants (Minimum of 6 to hold the class)

Meditation Resources in Baltimore
Beginning a meditation practice can seem overwhelming at first especially if you are already familiar with self-doubt, anxiety and racing thoughts. “How will I ever get my mind to slow down?” is a common question that patients raise, and “I’ve tried meditation but I just wasn’t good at it!” is a common barrier that our inner critics can use to block the healing process. Fortunately, meditation is the healing tool that can help unblock those places of resistance and eventually ease and slow the mind. All it takes is practice… In Baltimore we are blessed with wonderful resources for those looking to begin a meditation practice and implement the benefits of a still and peaceful mind in your everyday life. Meditation has been shown in numerous research studies to reduce symptoms of pain, decrease anxiety and lower high blood pressure.

Redefining Health -Tai Sophia Feb 7th & 8th
After hearing both Bob Duggan, MAc, MA and Dianne Connelly, PhD, MAc speak at separate integrative medicine conferences last year, I was truly inspired by both the depth and simplicity of their healing words. As founders of the Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, MD, they share their message of healing with the greater community through their signature workshop “Refining Health” which will be held Saturday February 7th and Sunday February 8th at Tai Sophia. I am looking forward to finally attending this well-loved and respected program and I encourage anyone looking for a new way to view the world and yourself to consider registering.
