June News

Hello,

Summer solstice is almost here. After June 21st we will lose a bit more light each day for the next 6 months. I take this opportunity to find something I want to lose. By the time December 21st rolls around, I'll have been better off without it. What do you want to lose? Extra pounds, a bad habit or that annoying pain in your back? Perhaps Whole Self Fitness can help? Here are the contact details: 416-924-3145/ Leehe@WholeSelf.ca
