The elderly have several challenges they may have to come to terms with upon admission to an elderly care facility. One of the most important being why they are living in a facility instead of at home.??These seminars provide a wellness approach by providing practical steps with simple techniques of yoga, breath techniques, meditation and scripture.??The seminar usually lasts a couple of hours and is almost always welcome by residents, elderly care facility employees, family and visitors.

We recommend a 7 session program in about 7 months or as desired.

Wellness is not just physical vitals. Whats between the ears and of mutual goals is key! Our programs address both issues and realign the "core" values and goals for both employees and employer. They help to reduce or eliminate the "us" versus "them" barrier. The company genuinely takes interest into employee needs. In turn, the employees feel appreciated and are eager to be more productive for the company.

There is no substitute for great outlook, cooperation, satisfaction, imagination and creativity that they can bring to work each and every day.  With a renewed sense of atittude and of being productive, much more work gets done. The workshop lectures and measurable progress is of great value to all parties!

These programs are conducted at  gyms, fitness centers or health centers. Most gym-goers place too much emphasis on nutrition, physical looks and on weight control. Although very important, the inner core gets little or no attention, much less any correction!

We provide wellness seminars that draw from deeper and subtler side of things. Once they are addressed, the other goals become much more easily attainable and sustainable! In addition, they also provides certain key steps for change in nutrition, basic daily stretches and more for an all round healtheir self!

The benefits are fulfilling, rewarding and lasting for themselves and their loved ones!

You can confide in us like a friend and also count on us as a professional. Drawing from experiences to life struggles and triumphs, and education and certifications  of personal training and life coaching expertise, we provide private coaching and individual consultations with help in achieving the desirable goals.

In addition, our experiences of east-west balanced lifestyles, physical exercise and nutrition, weight management and fitness goals and handling and overcoming cancer, we provide you with great pleasure first hand experiences to further help the best we can by providing affordable and custom programs!
