Stress Got You Down?

Join sister duo Megan Waddy (medical herbalist) and Jenna Waddy (naturopathic doctor) for a 3-hour intensive workshop on stress management.  In our current society, stress has become a part of everyone’s life and is a root cause to disharmony and imbalance within our body.  Fortunately, there are many tools and herbal supportive agents to help you feel more equipped in your day-to-day living.
