ESSENCE OF BALANCE

Velma Harris - My Story

I believe with all my heart that being well and living well is not just for a few and unattainable to the rest. It feels like I’ve been on my own journey of well-being for a minute, despite working in fitness and wellness for over 25 years, teaching, coaching, training, facilitating both groups and individuals. 

I’ve had physical challenges (hip replacement and more), I’ve had to reframe some unhealthy mindsets, there have been spiritual moments, and don’t even get me started on licorice.

I am not joking! The smell of licorice makes me crazy and when I smell it, I want it – a lot of it! Sometimes, the licorice wins; sometimes it doesn’t.  Balance is the key.  Balance in exercise.  Balance in how we eat, in how we sleep and rest, and even in our play.  But most importantly, balance in how we move about from day to day, and the true deep knowledge that we all deserve to live in balance – every single one of us.
