Are you feeling energetic, well-rested, and happy?  No? Let's change that! The kids, your spouse, your boss, your friends...you give a lot of yourself to others. You only have so much to give! Many of us care for others to the point that we end up putting our own health and well-being on the back burner.  Little by little, we lose pieces of ourselves by giving up more of our time to devote to the daily challenges.  It's no way to live!
​Have you been:
  • exhausted, but can't seem to be able to get more than a few hours of sleep a night?
  • frustrated with how hard you work, but you can't seem to get ahead?
  • gaining weight, or just not feeling good about your body?
  • feeling stress or worry most days?

Unfortunately, all of this is common in our world today.  As more and more people find themselves in the role of family caregiver, the medical community is recognizing the unhealthy fall-out:

  • Caregivers are twice as likely to develop depression.
  • Caregivers have double the risk of heart disease.
  • Caregivers have increased stress levels.
  • Caregivers have an increased risk of obesity.
  • Caregivers have high divorce rates.
  • Caregivers often feel the need to quit their jobs or go part-time, which causes financial strain on the family.
  • Caregivers suffer negative psychological effects from decreased socialization.
  • Caregivers are more likely to have low self-esteem.

It's time to regain control! Imagine...
  • Waking up feeling rested and ready to go, because you got such a good night's sleep.
  • You have the time you need to get ready and you feel good about how you look.
  • You eat a healthy breakfast, which only adds to your positive energy.
  • During the day, you feel happy, confident, and sharp.
  • You are able to make decisions.  You are able to handle any surprises that pop up with family, friends, or work throughout the day. 
  • You make it a point to fit exercise into your day, and you actually look forward to the feeling it brings! It doesn't feel like you have to drag yourself to get it done, because you like what you're doing, and you love the results you're feeling and seeing in your body.

This is the life you deserve! Let's make it happen.
