We’ve all been there at some point – trapped on an impromptu YouTube video binge or afternoon infomercial. A practitioner of some kind, typically a chiropractor or physical therapist, holds & gently manipulates the relaxed head & neck of a patient who complains of stiffness & pain. You wait in anticipation for 2-3 seconds, then…
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, right? Well, these photos are worth about 90 pounds! I was a bridesmaid in my brother’s wedding in 2005 & when the pictures came back, I had to face reality – the image I held of myself in my head did not remotely resemble what the

While the reasons behind this are incredibly complex, the end result is we now have a worker-driven economy. Those workers’ expectations are
Marketing seems like a mystery to most small business owners. It feels overwhelming & complicated & because of that, most just say “I don’t know how to market my business.” First, Marketing is everything a company does to acquire customers & maintain a relationship with them.

“High intensity workouts release the most endorphins for optimal mental health.” “Gentle walking is the best way to keep your heart, mind, & soul healthy.” “Be consistent.
