Balance Work and Play 3: Finding the Center:

Are you overwhelmed by work? Family? Personal or family health issues? Is taking time for yourself selfish?

In this session we will explore some tools to find that place in the middle of the teeter totter that holds the balance-if even only briefly so you can explore physical and mental well-being.
