Women's Wellness Day 2009

1st Annual Women's Wellness Day a Success

Saturday, February 14th        10:00am - 2:00pm

Keller Williams Realty Mid Maine    34 Center Street   Auburn


Let's Get Ready For Next Year

We had our first Women’s Health and Wellness Day for the community on Valentines Day at Keller Williams Realty Mid Maine. It was a huge success enjoyed by all. A group of women in our office got together and decided there has been so much negativity in the news recently, that we wanted to do something uplifting for women in our area. It was a fun-packed day of education, inspiration, and pampering. Attendees had broad interests to choose from including: massage, blood pressure and bone density testing,   beauty products, jewelry, Maine-made soaps, scents, nutrition and fitness classes as well as feng shui just to name a few.
The twofold purpose of this free public event was to give to clients and community members as well as raise funds for our chosen charity, The Heart Gallery.  The Heart Gallery is a photographic exhibit of children in foster care with the purpose of helping to find 'forever' homes for them.  All donations given that day are hugely appreciated!
 
 
 The first speaker was Michelle Twitchell from Results Fitness & Weightloss, certified personal trainer & nutrition counselor shared her awesome expertise on  exercise,diet, and healthy life style habits and more. We even got our body fat composition tested if we felt brave enough!  She gave of her time and we so appreciate it!
  
Anne Moreau RN, BSN shared her wealth of knowledge to our audience about a proactive approach to health!  The talk included topics about auto immune disease and the importance of getting the immune system strong in order to prevent major illnesses.  'We can all look, feel and perform better as we age' . We are already looking forward to our next Wellness event with Anne to learn more!
 
Colette Newell spoke about a soothing environment with her studies on Feng Sui ; from entering a home, to the kitchen, and every room's 'energy' ....we were all running home to rearrange furniture, candles, pictures up or down! :) and adding earth tones and eating on blue (you had to be there to hear)!!! awesome!
 
Lucy Reynolds simply spoke from her heart about her past year. Life changes and what she has learned about our 'society as a whole's habits good and bad....Her inner strength shone through...thank you Lucy.
