I know that [...] First I want to tell you about the Q&A show I did with Bruce L. Bair on Nov. 18, 2009. He is a superb wellness coach with a strong medical background.

It turned out that we both shared [...] Tonight I will be doing a Q&A with my colleague Bruce L. Bair who is a Life and Health coach. I am looking forward to chatting with him about my work.
