Wellness is like a spiders' web, movement in one part of the web reverberates in throughout the web.

Wellness much more than just diet and exercise, wellness applies to the “whole person,” body, mind, and spirit. It is an ongoing process of becoming the  best you can be in many different ways. It is also about keeping a balance in different aspects of your life. Life is full of transitions and as we make these transitions our lives can become stuck or out of balance and we can use some help to regain our wellbeing. A wellness coach is a good way to make the changes you want  

I encourage you to examine the different dimensions of wellness in your life. As you do so, you may begin recognize that they are deeply interconnected. No dimension stands alone. Each dimension is related to others in different ways and to different degrees. Live is about choices as we move along our journey. Wellness is about wholeness and balance as we move forward.
