“Women’s wellness involves more than just exercise, more than just eating. It starts from the inside, with a positive healthy attitude about oneself and one’s value. This weekend is about the whole package…beginning the journey to a better you from the inside out,” said Renee DiSalvo, who will give an Inspirational talk at the event.

“We are thrilled to offer this fantastic opportunity for women to recharge their battery without having to travel outside of Valley before the hectic holiday season begins,” said Wanda Huberman, coordinator of the event. “We appreciate The National Health Association for sponsoring this retreat which really helped us to keep the cost down.”

Class is limited to the first 40 RSVP’s so attendees can receive plenty of personal attention and information. Attendees will want to bring a mat, as well as clothing and shoes for outside hiking.
