Graduation is an accomplishment. It is exciting and often marks the next important phase in someone’s life. Sometimes mixed in with those feelings of excitement are feelings of sadness. This bittersweet time can be because the people we love were not able to celebrate with us. We may also be saying goodbye to a place that was special and safe upon graduation.

These feelings can impact the graduate and their loved ones. Though proud and happy for their children, parents may struggle with their child leaving the nest and what this means for their parent identity. Parents and families may also struggle with missing people they believed and hoped would be alive to witness this achievement. The absence of a loved one is one of many secondary losses grievers experience around moments that are typically joyful.

June 16 is International Domestic Workers Day, and Well-Paid Maids is celebrating!

International Domestic Workers Day honors house cleaners, nannies and care workers. It marks the anniversary of the 2011 passage of the International Labour Organization Convention that established international labor laws for domestic workers.

Aaron Seyedian launched the home cleaning company Well-Paid Maids in June 2017 and, that August, began offering cleaning services around the D.C. area with his staff of three — including himself.

At the time, he paid cleaners a living wage of $16 an hour, plus benefits.

On World Digestive Health Day, we recognize the millions worldwide who suffer from digestive-related illnesses and disorders. More often than not, many who suffer from digestive issues have something called a DGBI (Disorder of Gut-Brain Interaction), which millions suffer from. Fortunately, treatments exist targeting these disorders; GI Psychology is a behavioral health practice specializing in gut-brain therapies and has brought relief to patients suffering from these disorders.

Based in Burke, VA, Dr. Navidi, the co-founder of GI Psychology, has spent the last decade working with patients with digestive health issues. Dr. Navidi and his team at GI Psychology have a proven record of success using a unique treatment methodology that blends Clinical Hypnosis and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The American College of Gastroenterology has approved this approach, bolstering hundreds of studies and research findings over the last 30 years.

Karen joined the Well-Paid Maids team as a cleaner in January 2021, and she was recently promoted to an operations manager! This well-deserved promotion is part of Well-Paid Maids’ effort to deliver better customer service with responses to phone calls and emails seven days a week.

To celebrate Karen’s promotion, we caught up with her to learn more about her time at Well-Paid Maids, the area’s only certified living-wage cleaning company.

It can be a little daunting having a young family in the DMV. Here’s a list of where our clients have found community, picked up parenting ideas, snuck in some exercise and generally had a decent reason to get out of the house. Which is so great for our wellbeing.

For clients who experience loss around this time, we’ve included local support groups. From postpartum to grief, including miscarriage and infant loss, these organizations focus on compassion and understanding. If they charge anything, it’s likely only a nominal fee.
