  • Well-being

    No one thing works for every person. Potential tools to explore: body work, t'ai chi ch'uan, food, self-talk, massage & self-massage, mindfulness and other means to gain clarity in self-awareness and choice.

    All too often we allow circumstances to skew our perspective, rather than allowing our perspective to balance our circumstances.
