Healthy Happy Woman

Two quotations guide my work, the first and most important reminds me every single day that my role is to help you uncover your own wisdom.

Give a man a fish, feed him for day; teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

The second reminds me that we are all capable of changing our world, personally, socially and globally, if that’s what we want to do..

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead
