Just a little something to help no matter where you are on your journey. All suggested tools have been used by me and many of my clients throughout the years.
Feel free to send your comments and also your own suggestions! With so much to learn, let’s share the knowledge we have gleaned from the many authors, producers and composers who are spreading the word about wellness.
The following outline offers more information about each selection, including some insight into how they have worked for me and my clients. Each month I will give one tool from each genre. Some will educate, others will heal and soothe, and occasionally, there will be one thrown in that’s just for fun!
