The Proof is in the Event Design Pudding

Congratulations to Julie Hale and Vangard Inc for 8 amazing and successful years and a Gala Award Nomination for 2010. Julie started this business working from the living room of her home. Now the business has grown to become one of Tacoma's most sought after award winning event designers. Julie says in a recent interview, "Vangard will continue to offer clients trendsetting ideas and design for their events, taking cues from the worlds of art, fashion, and travel" and if you've ever had the pleasure of basking in the beauty of one of their intricately planned events, the proof is in the pudding. It is impossible to rave enough about the fantastically articulated artistry created by Julie and her team which leaves most awestruck by the talent and complete and utter attention to the finest of details. Congratulations again and we wish Vangard and Julie many more fabulous and fruitful years!!

Nurture Healing Center

Come & Be
 

Nurture is here to offer a quiet space to just be.
A space to run towards yourself, but not away.
A space to face all the potential you hold.
A space to learn, discover, and grow.
A space to gather as friends and as a community.
A space to heal.

With that said this may leave you wondering what Nurture Healing Center is all about but simply put, it is just that.... a place you can "just be". We went there as a group for a retreat at the beginning of the year and were blessed to be able to use such a spectacular and relaxing space to leave 2009 behind and start 2010 off right. With a fabulous staff and an inviting space, Nurture is a wonderful space to take a yoga class, get a soothing massage or hold an event but first and foremost it is a place where you are welcome to just be. With busy work schedules, the juggling of kid's practices and school events all the while maintaining a social life who doesn't need to take a little bit of "me time" and be in a space where you're aloud to do just that? There are many beautiful places to do so in Tacoma, but we just want to make sure you keep Nurture in mind when you're taking time to take care of yourself.
