How I determined the 4 Pillars of BalAnce Well-Being

While I worked at TD Canada Trust for 21 years and as a branch manager for 15 years and now as an independent financial planner since 2015 I have the opportunity to witness people in their lives and in their struggles. There are the obvious financial challenges no matter how little or how much money people have, but I also observed other struggles. In todays culture everyone is aware and embraces the need for Body and Mind well-being but I also observed social connection challenges. No matter how much or how little financial success people have I could see that the lack of strong social connections has a great impact on peoples lives. So I felt the 4 Pillars to Well-Being needed to include Body, Financial, Mind & Social.

I CARE ABOUT PEOPLE SO I AM VERY MOTIVATED TO SUPPORT PEOPLE IN THEIR OVERALL WELL-BEING!

The Science of Parenting - by Annette Adkin

Having spent 30 yrs. as a counsellor working with parents of all backgrounds, what stands out for me is that parental frustrations is the result of parents “held captive” by the pre-programmed practices/neural pathways from their childhoods. Parents react to their child’s behavior and will often react in a way that doesn’t match the child’s or the parent’s needs in the present situation. Instead of trying to understand and be curious about what is happening for themselves or their child which includes emotional connection between the parent and child, the parent reacts based on past conditioning.

What is BIE (BioEnergetics)? - by Kate Shivers

It is one of the many services here at Heel that bring about more balance and less inflammation. I call it the electronic anti-histamine, or the electronic anti-inflammatory. I use it for pollen, pet, food and other sensitivities. It frees people from dependence on pills, shots, and expensive tests.

FULLY STEPPING INTO A NEW YEAR - by Shri Ananda

As the winter holidays and celebrations come to a close, many of us find ourselves in a space of reflection. A time of review, looking back on this last year of our story. Perhaps even this last decade as we prepare to welcome in a whole new chapter. If we can approach this time from a place of presence and heart-space, we can honor and notice our own growth and the areas we have been stuck. This can be an exciting exercise as we explore new hope and new beginnings. Are you ready to fully step into who you really are as you transition into a New Year, a New Decade, a New You?
