What’s Going on in May!!!

We are thrilled to announce that our April event – Wine Tasting with Matt James, was a great success. We sampled 10 different wines from various regions, which were amazing! We learned tasting methods, how to make wine notes and food pairings. Due to great demand we will be doing another wine tasting event with Matt in the fall.

May Event!!

Are you where you want to be in your 40’s?

Life is a journey. For many of us, our 30’s represented a “building” phase of our lives. We built and developed our careers, our families or both. Now that we’re in our 40’s, it’s time to focus on ourselves again.

Join us for this interactive session to explore:

If you are where you want to be in your 40’s
If you are living a life that balances all your needs – from family to financial to fun
What a balanced and fulfilling life looks like for you
What is stopping you from realizing your dreams
