Products Pashmina Travel Blankets Published August 22, 2024 My wife and I founded Sunrise Pashmina (sunrise-pashmina.com) 25 years ago, in order to help local Nepali craftspeople reach an international market. Although we sell only top quality pashmina (i.e. cashmere) accessories, we have never invested in marketing and so have remained pretty small. We sell the standard shawls, but recently developed a pashmina travel blanket/meditation shawls; they are simply exquisite. This fall I will be working on a new yak fleece blanket. We offer a 10% discount to Cornellians (promo code CU10), and will gladly arrange for wholesale supply if you want to go into business yourself. We don’t take any kind of cut or commission on such referrals. ses266@cornell.edu Seth Sicroff ’72, BA ’73

Services Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Practitioner Published November 14, 2024 RTT® is a therapeutic approach that uses powerful, evidence-based techniques to provide people with the tools they need to make positive change. The roots of RTT® are drawn from within areas of traditional psychotherapy such as gestalt, solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness. Its personalized approach works with clients to help them reframe any negative beliefs, values, habits and emotions – many of which they have carried with them since childhood. Often, these have been so deeply buried in their subconscious that they are unaware of the past issues affecting them. By giving the client the potential to alter the way they think and put an end to negative self-talk, they can approach life in a positive way and move forward. Melissa Martin, Rapid Transformational Therapy® Practitioner, is on fire with her passion of helping others get relief from issues in their life through Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT®). She has a gentle and intuitive way about her with being a massage therapist and energy worker for the past 20 years. Please book your online hypnotherapy session or purchase your gift card through the website. https://www.yourelevated.life/ Melissa Martin ’02
