Wellness for Children Initiative
We passionately believe that education is key to long-term health and wellness. By reaching our children in the formative years and teaching them the benefits of being healthy, we begin to reduce the risk of childhood obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer. An age appropriate, region specific and culturally sensitive approach will be the winning strategy for this initiative. We have an amazing team of smart, experienced, diverse and dedicated industry professionals ready to work with children across the globe!

Objectives
The goal of the Wellness for Children initiative is to create awareness of the need for children and young people to be actively involved in their own wellness. Through holistic practices of mindfulness, meditation, energy medicine, movement and nutrition, one project we want to move forward is creating a series of lesson plans that can easily be adapted to kindergarten and school programs and youth services.
