They say that when you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. I really felt that this week as I had the honor of presenting at the Napa Valley Wellness Conference hosted by the Napa Valley Education Foundation. They are one of the amazing partners of Alliance for a Healthier Generation. My breakout session on “Building Staff Relaxation Zones” was so much fun to do and the attendees were phenomenal. Thank you to Kaiser Permanente for making moments like this possible!
