March Meeting Recap: Dr. Anthony Noya
On Tuesday, March 2, Dr. Anthony Noya spoke to us on the topic of "Life Without Fear: A Wellness Approach to Healthcare". It was a really informative session about a wellness approach to health and your life. Dr. Noya discussed vital life force and ways to express your life force and keep it flowing so that you can live your healthiest life. Some ways to live healthy are yoga, chiropractic care, exercising and breathing practices. There were a lot of questions about how chiropractic services fit into a family wellness model and about how children react to being "adjusted". Thanks Dr. Noya!
