HAPPINESS HAPPENS WHEN WE HAVE BALANCED GROWTH IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE.

WE NEED INPUT, GUIDEANCE AND SOMETIMES A SOUNDING BOARD TO DISCOVER WHAT WE WANT, WHERE WE NEED TO FOCUS AND HOW TO GROW IN THE DIRECTION THAT WILL BRING US JOY.  DR. HEAP HAS BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE AT DOING JUST THAT WITH BOTH GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS.  

"Life In Balance provided various coping skills for every type of person – do you need to chill out and find more humor in your life? Focus in on breathing and prepare yourself to have a productive conversation? Work on your willpower so you don’t grab that extra cookie/brownie/fourth helping of French fries? Life In Balance is a great place to start! Six months sounded like a big time commitment, but it went by so fast and I’m sad to see it end. I know many of these topics will stick with me for a long time to come. Each session was also spaced out very well and focused on a different topic, which kept things interesting and allowed us to focus on various areas of our lives."

Testimonial

Did you find Life in Balance valuable...

"Yes, I found this program extremely valuable. There is so much we need to know about how we are designed. It only makes us better people, better employees, better partners and better humans. This country needs a lot more people who are wise and capable at navigating ourselves in a more loving and productive manner.
"It was very eye opening. I had never analyzed how I think about things or what drives or motivates me. It helps me to be more aware of what I was doing and what wears on me. In the past, I would just get burned out, but never knew why so I could never fix it. The content of the class was spot on. It was a great length (8 sessions) and all the topics were very interesting and relevant. I especially loved the 1 on 1 personalized sessions. "

Julia

"I did find the program very valuable. When everything in your surroundings is in disarray Laurie and this program help you find calm. It teaches you to take a step back, take a deep breath and move forward. You get a chance to find inner peace and what helps you to stay in a healthier frame of mind."

Robert

"Life in Balance helps people to be healthy mentally and physically, work productively and satisfy, it promotes positive thinking and resolve issues, and reach career goals and life goals. With goals in life, life is more meaningful and purpose driven."
