What is Wellness to Me? One Student's Experience
It is with great pleasure, and a slight bit of trepidation (I’m not used to writing about myself!), that I start off this series of blog posts about wellness.

At the third annual OMSA Wellness Retreat this past March, she facilitated a fantastic workshop entitled ‘The Portable Workout’.

Considering that I don't respond very well to change and last minute plans, I was both excited and stressed.
