10:15 - 11:00 am - The Effectiveness of Journaling with Luciana Adams

Establishing a journaling habit can help you develop personal skills and enhance your health by fostering forgiveness, honesty, goal-setting, self-care, self-affirmations, recognizing your accomplishments, creating a gratitude list, and creating good habits to replace the bad ones.  

11:15 - 12:00 pm - Train Your Brain: Neurofeedback and its Benefits with Mary Beth Stevens, M.Ed., LPCC, BCN

Mary Beth Stevens discusses neurofeedback, a cutting-edge approach to healing the brain. Neurofeedback uses EEG (electroencephalogram) technology to train the brain to produce healthier brainwave patterns. With applications to many mental health conditions like anxiety, ADHD, depression or trauma--or for those who want to achieve peak mental performance--neurofeedback is an exciting approach with over 70 years of research that supports its benefits.

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - Whole Foods  - Healthy soups and beverages to sample

Watch a chef from Whole Foods prepare soup and a beverage and enjoy a small pick-me-up sample.

Attendees planning to stay for the whole day may want to bring a brown bag lunch to eat at this time.

1:15 pm - 2:00 pm - Home Herbal Preparations: Nurse Bridgette Zmorowski, RN, BSN

Learn about the benefits of using coconut oil topically and how to make your own healing balm with coconut oil infused with herbs that are easy to grow and wildcraft in Ohio.

2:15 pm - 3:00 pm - JustUs Line Dance Crew - Finish the day dancing - for fun and low impact exercise!

JustUs Line Dance Crew was founded in 2012 by Terrence and Carmen Payne, who have traveled all over the country dancing, networking and teaching their art.
