A peek into places and spaces of Wellcoaches. Up High or Down Low? When one is up this high in the air, it is pretty easy to feel more calm. Sunrises and mountains speak of majesty and evoke a sense of gratitude and purpose. Photo by Joe Sage It’s not so easy on the ground. On the ground, real life starts to intrude. Concerns present themself, like the need for food, shelter, and safety. Our worries can sweep us away. I’ve always been intrigued by the juxtaposition of these t

I provide them with unconditional posit
