Every year on March 8, the world acknowledges International Women’s Day. This year however, the entire month of March is dedicated to all sorts of festivities as International Women’s Day celebrates its 100th anniversary.
To commemorate this special occasion, I wanted to share with you some resources when it comes to women’s health. Women’s health is a very diverse area with women needing different support at the many different stages of their life. From puberty to menopause and beyond, as well as dealing with the modern lifestyles, stresses and demands on women today, it is good to know there are so many wonderful support systems and resources out there.
To begin with, I want to highlight 4 exceptional women who are health professionals and are each skilled and talented authorities in their respective areas. It is a pleasure to celebrate the successes of each of these 4 women and share them with you as outstanding resources for your health and wellness, from a natural and holistic background.
Secondly, I want to share with you an event which is featuring 100 Women of Destiny where you can hear free lectures from various women leaders all over the world in the biggest world tele-summit retreat to date.
