Lecture Synopsis:

Rest and self-care are vitally important. We cannot serve from an empty vessel. The haunting words of Whitney Houston are a strong reminder to us all, “I’m Every Woman, Whatever you want, Whatever you need, Anything you want done, baby, I'll do it naturally 'Cause I'm every woman It's all in me. It's all in me!”

Dentistry provides us with the ultimate gratification any human can desire and that is to serve others, however this comes with a cost. Rest and self-care are vitally important to self-preservation. We cannot serve from an empty vessel. Through a highly interactive presentation style, attendees will explore the areas of their life that impact energy and healing. Life is not about surviving the storm. It is about dancing in the rain. We have one life, and it can change in a heartbeat; let us make it the best it can be!
Join Jo-Anne for a humorous and insightful look at the life of today’s dental professional.

Session Reviews:

“This presentation was a refreshing change to other information sessions. Nice to have a women's health day to be educated on ways to improve and maintain good health. The speaker was at the top of her game; interesting topic, relevant and up to date. Aside from that full marks on entertainment value alone; a tough act to follow.”
