A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM KAREN BEARD
We are now living in a 24 hour society where boundaries are
continually challenged. This highly competitive marketplace places
considerable pressure on businesses and people to perform. We are
often faced with long days, demanding schedules and considerable
stress. Amidst these pressures, personal health and well-being often
receive the lowest priority.
We must each take responsibility for our health and well-being
if we want to achieve balance, happiness and fulfillment in our
lives. To do this, we need to take care of ourselves first, not
out of selfishness, but out of self-responsibility.
My passion is to assist individuals to realize that by making small
changes over the long-term they will easily achieve sustainable
balance and happiness in life.
I want people to be able to pause throughout their busy days and
notice all the opportunities and little miracles that come their
way, and most of all, to remind themselves that their journey is
meant to be fun.
