When Women Get Sick Book Talk & Shopping Event with Author Rebecca Bloom
About this event
This isn't another wellness event telling you to meditate your way to better health. This is about grappling with a healthcare system that wasn't designed for us—and what you can do about it. Join author Rebecca Bloom in conversation with Randi Orava (former international trade attorney, writer, mother, and the founder of Java Fitness) for an evening of grounding, gentle movement, writing exercises, and conversation centered around the ways women can stay connected and mindful on their health journeys.
Come ready to share over wine and light bites. Books available for purchase and signing.
All M.M.LaFleur purchases made during the event receive 15% off.
