Paige's talk included the following:
- A discussion on stress/burnout and the impacts on the body
- An overview of her background/interest in wellness & my philosophy on wellness
- Introduced an evidence-based model for health & wellness that was used to design her wellness program. This includes 8 dimensions of wellness (e.g. nutrition, sleep, exercise, mindfulness)
- Facilitated an interactive session with the group on 2 elements from the model, mindfulness and exercise
As a personal trainer and wellness coach, Paige loves to share her knowledge and experience on physical fitness and wellness with others, especially during these challenging times.
