"Excellent feedback from participants; Heard wonderful comments on addressing their specific concerns and the additional tips on how to improve."
"Thank you so much! Our team loved it and we would love having you back next year."
"Your talk was very beneficial in making me take an honest look at something I do often (about 4 times per day) but admittedly, without very much thought. Don't get me wrong I have been dieting since I was about 12 years old when my Grandpa told me I was fat. He did mean well you know. The short talk you gave further confirmed for me the importance of "good" fats like Omega 3 fatty acids, of reading labels to identify "extra" ingredients, and gave me a final reason to banish Nutrasweet from my diet."
"I thought I was pretty well informed about nutrition, but I gained a lot more knowledge from the Power Nutrition presentation.”
"We work in many different conditions with varied job tasks, physical demands, weather, time of day, shift work, and differing levels of safety risks. It is important that every employee take a vested interest in their personal health and wellness. Our work force is aging and with that comes more risk for injury and lifestyle challenges that contribute to chronic health conditions. We look forward to working with you on ongoing projects to improve the health and safety of our employees."

GENERAL INTEREST WORKSHOPS:
Through a Parent’s Eyes: As parents you want what’s best for your children. You teach them to look both ways before crossing the street. Warn them about talking to strangers. Anything that will allow them to live a long, happy and productive life becomes your top priority. But have you ever really thought about what the simplest actions and decisions that you make on a daily basis can mean for your child’s health, both now and far into the future? From nutrition to exercise, ADHD to obesity, immunity to vaccinations, we’ll break it all down and take a look at what it means to grow up healthy...through a parent’s eyes.
W.O.W.: Workshop on Wellness: Do you ever wonder if you are truly realizing your full life potential? This seven-element workshop focuses on the importance of a balanced approach to life.

Attendees learn about the seven key-life areas (physical, mental, spiritual, social, family, career and financial) and how to balance each area for true happiness, health and wellness. This session can be delivered as a 2-hour workshop or divided into 30-minute sessions for each key-life area. A truly inspiring health and wellness series!

Separate the facts from the fads and learn the truth about nutrition and the impact proper nutrition can have on our energy levels and overall health and wellness.
Get a Grip on Stress: While it’s true that stress is a result of change, one common misconception is that stress is always a result of a negative shift in our environment.

Learn tips to managing stress and minimize its negative affects on the body.
