After reflecting deeply on my wellness journey, I began to see a clear pattern.
The biggest shifts in my life didn’t come from doing more—they came from returning to the 5 fundamentals of balance and rebuilding my life around what truly mattered.
For a long time, I thought balance meant fixing everything at once.
But what I really needed was something steady—something I could return to when life felt overwhelming.
That’s how the 5 fundamentals of balance became the foundation of CGC Wellness.
