Earlier this summer, the WIL Vancouver Chapter had the pleasure of hosting Sharon Summerfield, Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Breathing Coach, and Founder of Nourished Executive, as one of the Speakers for a Self-Care summer series. During her event, Sharon shared with us her journey of transitioning to a career in nutrition and holistic wellness. Sharon shared practical strategies to help us develop a healthier relationship with stress, become more mindful in our lives, harmonize the various areas of our lives, and build a foundation of nutrition and wellness. Today, we are honoured to introduce Sharon Summerfield and to feature her Blog below on self-care perspectives and strategies. Thank you, Sharon for continuing to share with us your perspectives and strategies for investing in ourselves.
