As a life coach for women in complex families, I understand the importance of taking care of our emotional well-being and how it affects our physical health.

Physical movement and exercise are powerful tools for managing the effects of emotional and mental energy. It releases endorphins and helps us feel more relaxed and rejuvenated.
