BabyBonds is an innovative and effective program developed by Hartsdale psychotherapist Ann Rose Simon, LCSW. It prepares parents for the emotional challenges they will inevitably face when their baby arrives.

You’ve read the books on pregnancy and baby care. You’ve signed up for Lamaze classes. But are you ready for your new role as a parent? BabyBonds is based on the idea that parenting is a complex new role that doesn’t always come naturally.

“Even for couples who have had a child, there’s a whole new family dynamic after the baby comes,” says Simon. “In addition, couples often need help nurturing and redefining their own relationship.” In short, BabyBonds helps baby-proof your marriage.

BabyBonds is a dynamic and customized program. Parents can choose from a variety of services, including: • Pre and postnatal counseling to prepare for changes in family roles and relationships • Videotaping and follow-up discussion of parent-infant interaction A Program for New andwhere Expectant Program for New • Discussion groups you canParents share experiences, meet otherAnew parents and gain confidence in your parenting skills.

e grew up here, we live here, we sell homes here — Platinum Drive Realty brings a fresh, professional approach to real estate.

At Platinum Drive Realty, our mission is to enrich the lives of our clients, associates and the greater community. The company provides outstanding and innovative services in a culture of professional excellence and growth to make all experiences with our firm enjoyable, rewarding and first-rate.

Platinum Drive Realty serves a wide variety of clients — from firsttime buyers and sellers to experienced homeowners, and some of the area’s largest builders and investors — and has assembled a team of energetic agents, many of whom not only grew up in the areas they serve, but who also have worked in professional industries prior to joining the real estate field. Our roster of dedicated professionals has more than 250 years of combined experience living in Westchester and Manhattan and includes multiple attorneys and marketing and finance professionals. They bring passion, professional and top-notch negotiating skills to each transaction, which have enabled us to achieve outstanding results for our clients.

With additional satellite offices and designated agents serving Ardsley, Armonk, Bedford, Chappaqua, Greenwich, Harrison, Hastings, Irvington, Pound Ridge, Rye, Rye Brook, Westport and White Plains — Platinum Drive Realty covers all local towns and cities. Our agents are not limited to one locality, which allows us to match our clients’ unique needs and interests with various properties throughout Westchester,

Manhattan and Connecticut.

“Our agents understand the importance of client relationships, responsiveness and the need for detailed analysis. We’re on top of every technological advancement and bring cutting-edge research and marketing strategies to each transaction,” says Zach Harrison, president of Platinum Drive Realty. “From the moment of our first contact to negotiating a successful deal, Platinum Drive will take you to your real estate destination in style, with the highest level of personal and professional service. Whether you’re moving in or out of Westchester, trading up or down, or buying a second home, we’re here to meet your real estate needs.”

Platinum Drive Realty is sensitive to the wishes of our clients, some of whom wish to mount aggressive public marketing campaigns, and others who wish to sell their homes in a less public manner. Regardless of how you wish to proceed, our approach to real estate is quality, not volume, so there is never a risk of your listing becoming a needle in the haystack. We are available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, and our commitment to our clients doesn’t end at the closing table.

Platinum Drive is also strongly committed to giving back to the community. The company participates in various charitable causes including the Four Diamonds Fund, which supports the fight against pediatric cancer; Albert Einstein National Women’s Division, which supports research in women’s health and cancers; the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, a worldwide leader in research to cure Type 1 diabetes; the Junior League of Westchester; and local schools and PTA organizations.

rom personal insurance — life, health, long-term care, vehicle, homeowner’s and renter’s — to all forms of business insurance, including cybersecurity, the Plum Insurance Agency meets every need and reviews each client’s coverage on a yearly basis.

If you and your current insurance provider don’t hold this kind of annual conversation, you’d be wise to contact Plum for a free-of-charge consultation.

“Many new clients — homeowners as well as business owners — are coming in and requesting that we review their coverage,” says CEO/president Ellen Plum. “We do really meaningful work for all our clients by looking at what insurance they have and spending time talking with them about the coverage they actually need.”

Particularly now, in this tight economy, it’s important to be sure one’s income is being spent wisely.

Because purchasing insurance can be confusing, holding a conversation with a Plum agent about an insurance portfolio before recommendations are made can be a priceless addition to peace of mind.

How much insurance is enough, and is it affordable?

Also, if there’s a claim, can a knowledgeable, caring agent be reached quickly? There’s no anxiety with Plum, whose roots date back to 1949.

Personal service is a hallmark of this three-generation, family-owned, independent agency. Plum’s agents work with many insurance companies, and as a result, rates are often lower than those found at much larger competitors, which can’t offer anything close to Plum’s comprehensive care. To see for yourself, stop in or make an appointment.

Hours: Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday to 7 p.m. Evenings and weekends by appointment.

Since 2005, Ardsley resident Lauren Kardish and her experienced staff at Playdates for Pets have gone beyond pet care to provide enriching experiences for your animal companions.

The company offers care in your home while you’re at work or on vacation (they’ll even sleep over at your home in the Rivertowns and surrounding areas).

They can tend to every animal from birds and fish to cats and dogs.

Going away? Board your pet at one of their homes, where the number of “houseguests” is limited and pets enjoy a family environment.

For a change of pace, how about a pet playdate? It’s a fun two-hour playgroup where dogs socialize, have fun and burn off excess energy in a fenced, supervised yard, with separate playgroups for large and small dogs. Or book your furry friend for their Pet Hikes program: it’s great for dogs who need more exercise or to practice good manners and leash walking skills.

Playdates for Pets is bonded, fully insured and members of Pet Sitters International.

A graduate of George Washington University and New York Chiropractic College, Dr. David Klein’s been in practice for 30 years, specializing in applied kinesiology and balancing the body via muscles and ligaments.

“The posture of the body changes with a sports or dance injury,” he says. “I look at the frame of the body — one side versus the other, top to bottom — to balance the muscles, ligaments and frame.”

Dr. Klein doesn’t perform any “twisting,” “cracking” or “pulling” on the body.

Instead, he uses a tool known as the Activator to make most body and spinal corrections. Having achieved advanced proficiency rating in the Activator method, Dr. Klein treats young children as well as older patients.

Professional athletes, dancers and performers are patients of Dr. Klein, who integrates the upper and lower body to ensure correct gait. “We test shoes and sneakers for correct fit, because poor-fitting shoes affect the whole body,” Dr. Klein says.

“Many patients with chronic lower back pain or shoulder problems are using poorfitting orthotics. We construct foot orthotics and test a patient’s current orthotic to see if it’s correct.”

It’s the call every mother dreads: “Your child has head lice.”

No worries. Anna Albano-Krosche, the Lice Lady of Westchester, can come to the rescue 365 days a year, “because lice is always an emergency.”

Anna is Westchester’s original head lice removal expert. “I’ve been in business since 1998, and I’ve treated over 10,000 heads,” says Anna.

She is the area’s only lice removal specialist with a freestanding salon. She also makes house calls.

Anna frequently travels to schools and camps to do lice checks and to give presentations on head lice prevention. “I’ve been through this with my own children and myself, and I relate 100 percent to everybody who comes in,” she says.

A client’s head is examined under a magnification light, then is given a 20minute, all-natural enzyme-based shampoo. Nits are combed from the hair, then the hair is rinsed, blown dry and rechecked. Clients leave the salon with a homework sheet, including instructions on how to “delouse your house.”

The Lice Lady of Westchester

ew York School of Esthetics offers the New York State 600-hour esthetics (skin care) course, which leads to eligibility to sit for the state-board testing procedures.

It is our mission to provide an exciting, wellplanned curriculum for students, one that will put you ahead in this fast-growing industry. The function of the school is to provide a professional environment where the student learns the theory and principles (hands-on) in esthetics. We will prepare all students for their New York State esthetic written and practical board exams.

Since opening, New York School of Esthetics has not raised its tuition and includes more certifications in the undergraduate program than any other school of its kind. These certifications include microdermabrasion, basic chemical peel, body treatments and teeth whitening.

Graduates are prepared for entry-level positions that include working with plastic surgeons and skin care specialists. The school’s graduates are employed in dermatologists’ offices and day spas throughout Westchester and Rockland counties.

As one student said, “I learned so much compared to other schools of esthetics and they made us feel more like family rather than just friends! I graduated knowing that I am a professional with great knowledge in skin care!”

New York School of Esthetics is fully accredited by National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts & Sciences, Inc., (NACCAS) and offers financial aid to those who qualify. We participate in the Pell Grant program, Direct Student Loans and Parent Plus Loans.

Step into La Catena and experience a taste of Tuscany. Master restaurateur Emilio Delija has created a warm, inviting ambience that was praised by The New York Times for its “Old-World charm.”

La Catena’s signature dish, pappardelle alla Emilio, features broad ribbons of homemade pasta with porcini, shiitake and oyster mushrooms and a shimmer of cream, tossed in a hollowed-out wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and flamed with cognac. It was voted Best Tableside Presentation of 2013 by Westchester magazine. Order up more excitement with branzino or honey-sweet Dover sole filleted in front of you. Meats, fish and produce are always fresh, prepared from scratch and beautifully presented. Desserts are not to be missed: try the white chocolate strawberry shortcake, or the zabaglione or banana flambé, made tableside.

La Catena offers a spacious party room for your next special event, and expert catering for your at-home celebration.

Hours: Open seven days a week. Lunch: Monday through Sunday, from noon to 3 p.m. Dinner: Sunday through Thursday, from 3 to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday to 11 p.m.

Scott Wunderlich and Arthur Wunderlich

When Arthur Wunderlich opened Village Wine & Spirit Shop in the mid-1970s, local wine enthusiasts focused on imports. Arthur knew it was only a matter of time before American wines were as popular as Bordeaux and Burgundy.

Named One of Westchester’s Great Wine Shops by Westchester magazine and rated five stars for its outstanding website, they have one of the largest selections of American wines in addition to the best of Europe — from Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhone Valley to Italy, Spain and Portugal — and exciting wines from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South America.

Scott Wunderlich gave up his job as a trial attorney to come into the shop full-time.

In an era where boutique importers and distributors have been gobbled up by large houses, he seeks out importers and distributors believing in quality instead of quantity.

Whether in the shop or on the website, we offer personal service in the selection of wines that will complement your taste and distinctive menus. Local and worldwide delivery.

Hours: Open seven days a week. Monday through Wednesday, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday through Saturday to 8 p.m., Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
