With Special Guest: Suzanne Even from Enlightened by Wellness for our Morning Session...
From Enlightened by Wellness website...
"When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and received the personal attention you deserve? It’s rare for anyone to get an hour to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional. As a Health Coach, I create a supportive environment that will enable you to achieve all of your health goals. I have studied all the major dietary theories and use practical lifestyle coaching methods to guide you in discovering which approach works best for you. Most approaches to nutrition dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, I coach my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline. No one diet works for everyone. I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I will also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals. Could one conversation change your life? - See more at:http://www.enlightenedbywellness.com/#sthash.to63SVY0.dpuf"

We will close our Afternoon Session with...

"I am lucky enough to honestly say that I love my job. Growing up in a house with my father who was a Chiropractor, I always understood the power of touch and the benefits of natural, drug-free pain relief. It was 1999 when I first stepped through the doors of Blue Cliff to begin my new career, and I never imagined the impact that this profession would have on me.
I promise to always do what I believe is best for you and I thank you for trusting me with your body during this very special time of your life,
Jessica Heno Bonnet, LMT Owner & Operator"
