“Living in Asia was an eye opening experience, rich in culture and at the centre of new business growth.”
“I started using homeopathy and going to acupuncture for physical imbalances that had been troubling me for sometime. I realized my body was out of balance. I had great success and decided that I wanted to switch my focus from working with global issues to holistic body wellness”.
“Keeping my body healthy also means keeping myself fit. I like to train for at least one major race or event each year and I like to diversify so that my body uses various muscle groups”
“Giving back is very important to me. I learned this from my parents while growing up in Canada, and we did not have a lot, however my parents always gave of their time and energy and did it with love and passion”.
