Cultivating Positivity in Our Relationships by Doris Wier, (ORSCC)
So often we only see what we don't like in our partner, child or significant other. We are well aware of what frustrates us and are often stuck in that position. This hurts our relationships. We need to understand this phenomenon and cultivate positive interactions in order to create healthy and fulfilling relationships.
Doris Wier is a certified Organization and Relationship Coach (ORSCC). Since 2006, she has been coaching individuals and couples to navigate conflicts more easily, improving understanding, compassion and communication. She is an insightful guide for couples who want to re-build a connection and intimacy. Her work incorporates findings from neuroscience and from the theory of adult attachment styles.

Movers and Shakers: Know Your Muscles! by Diane Smalley, L.Ac.
Can you say "sternocleiodomastoid"? If not, it's partly because our muscles have dinosaur names and they are foreign to us. Muscles are responsible for every action we take. They serve us well. We owe them familiarity and attention. They allow us to age well, enjoy life and live pain-free.
Diane Smalley of Abundant Health Acupuncture and Herbs has been practicing since 1985. She finds that the more you know about your health, the better equipped you are to keep yourself and your family well. Diane's greatest joy is seeing the light of self-knowledge glow in your eyes!
