Wellness - Health - Stress Mentor
Shanti Douglas
8 limbs Holistic Health
Mental, physical, and spiritual wellness comes from creating peace and harmony in mind, body, and spirit. This can be challenging to find in the rush-rush of our world. Wanting things to be different than they are, stress takes over and can run our day. We push away what we don’t like and grab really tight onto what we do like. This push and pull creates mental and physical tensions, poor choices (like that 9PM food craving), judgments of self and others, and lots of emotions that make it hard to see clearly. Shanti can help bring peace and harmony back into your life, one moment at a time. With easy to integrate techniques, you’ll be headed on your wellness path again. To learn more about Shanti, visit her website HERE.
