Reserve your spot for our complimentary “Get Some Shut Eye” webinar at 7pm CDT on Thursday, May 18th. I’ve combined my Chinese medicine knowledge with my experience working with people with sleeping issues to create a program that goes beyond the standard recommendations found in a google search about sleep issues. I will share some tips that will support your sleep.

If you register, you will receive information about how to get into the webinar via email on the 17th.
