Building Lasting Wellbeing and Healthy Habits

Join us for a supportive group program designed to help you build healthy habits, improve your physical and mental health, and create a sustainable path to personal growth. Each session explores a key aspect of wellbeing—nutrition, physical health, mental resilience, emotional balance, and personal transformation—because true wellbeing comes from a holistic approach where all these elements work together. You’ll gain practical tools and insights to help you thrive.

This program is facilitated by Louanne Hardy, Women’s Health Counsellor at Desert Blue Connect, alongside local expert guest speakers.

Spots are very limited to just 15 participants, so be sure to secure your place soon!
