Living in Balance is a comprehensive lifestyle enhancement and weight management program that supports individuals in achieving their goals, feeling better about themselves and enjoying life.
Our guiding principles are based on the ancient concept of balance. Balance is a dynamic condition of equilibrium, proportion and harmony. In this program, we work to discover ways that our lifestyle can be enhanced to create happiness and well-being.

Living in Balance is offered in a relaxed, supportive, and fun atmosphere and operates under the premise that by making healthy choices we can all improve our health and experience peace of mind and inner tranquility
