A seminar for people who want to protect themselves from musculo-skeletal dysfunction and/or restore poor function to good function.

The Crookback Clinic is essential for people who want to improve their musculo-skeletal status. It is a must for people with crook backs, stiff necks, frozen shoulders and sore arms

MOST IMPORTANTLY, you'll be taught how to do some of the key exercises you need to do on a regular and systematic basis to get yourself back in alignment. Do that and you'll feel better.

In the post junk-medical age it's 'patient heal thyself'. By the end of the seminar you'll be in a good position to know what to do to get yourself back into good shape. You don't need a PhD in rocket, medical or pharmaceutical science. There's no smoke, no mirrors; no lotions, potions, pills or powders; no syrups, strappings or surgery; no crunches, rub downs or electric shocks; no money - just you finding a bit of time each week to do the exercises which will get your body back into alignment.

The Hourglass Diet is a new model for healthy eating, designed to encourage you to eat in a way that

¡    nourishes the cells of your body, and not just fill up your stomach

¡    restores key body systems to good health, and keep it that way.

¡    has you living closer to your ideal weight

¡    has you looking in other directions to satisfy the inner hunger.

I am of the opinion that the Diet Pyramid in its myriad forms no longer provides adequate guidance on how to eat wisely in an affluent society. If it did we wouldn't have the current epidemic of obesity and major body system dysfunction. Eating wisely is fundamental to the health of all major body systems.

The Hourglass Diet is neither a no-fat or no-carbohydrate diet. In fact what it aims to do is get the right mix between fat, protein and the very low, the low and high density carbohydrates, so that you get the essential nutrients your body needs without fattening yourself up.

If you find it easy to put on weight, eat from the top of the Hourglass - steer clear of the refined garbohydrates, the cereal-derived, starch-based foods like bread, pasta, breakfast foods, biscuits and cake, and including sugar.

The diet addresses the key issue relating to the quest to satisfying the inner hunger by over-eating.

Once you've tried out the Hourglass way of eating you will be in a good position to decide exactly how to eat wisely for the rest of your life.

The Complete Fitness Program comes in a package that includes aerobic, strength and flexibility exercise.

Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying that we are about as happy as we want to be. Similarly, we are about as fit healthy as we want to be.

For us mortals, the rewards of regular, vigorous physical activity are compelling. On top of feeling better, all the major systems of your body work better. (It does aerobic exercise a grave disservice to limit its effects to the cardiovascular system.)

When it's all boiled down, you don't need a great deal of equipment or expense to improve and maintain your level of fitness. As a minimum, a brisk walk, shuffle or jog, followed by a few situps and pressups and some flexibility exercises will do you a world of good.

Some of the strength exercises can be done without any equipment and the flexibility exercises can be done while you watch television. It's all about strengthening and loosing the muscles designed to keep your bones in correct alignment. Do that on a regular basis and your back and neck should soon be as right as rain.

During the seminar you'll have the opportunity to find out how fit you are.

You'll have the chance to develop your own fitness program and learn some of the key exercises you need to do to keep yourself in good nick.

- look after your Self: 2 - 4 hrs

How to live the life you'd really like to live.

This two hour seminar is a must for people who want to make improvements to their lifestyle; who want to get a better balance between the work and non-work aspects of their life.

When the balance goes we become more stressed. We can't find time for exercise. We forget to meditate. The tension builds in our personal and work relationships. Our muscles tighten up.

It is a seminar is for people who want to reclaim that balance and the benefits that accrue from it; who want to feel better, have more energy and vitality, reduce their stress level, get more out of life, and live the life they'd like to live.

During the seminar you will find out: -

You'll learn about the Great Wheel of Life and the concept of oscillation and what you can do about it.

You'll have the opportunity to set realistic goals for achieving more balance in your life. When you've got that you'll sleep like a kitten.

Wouldn’t it be good to have a job you loved doing so much you’d do it for nothing, but which you did so well you’d be paid handsomely?

Join John Miller for this one hour seminar designed to inspire and motivate yourself to have a rich and fulfilling career.

Wouldn’t it be dreadful to climb the career ladder, and on the day of your retirement finally having the opportunity to look over the wall, realize that you climbed the wrong wall?

During the seminar you’ll

•   make an assessment of whether or not you’re in the right job

•   learn the first, second and third laws of management

•   determine whether you’re selling yourself short financially

•   be exposed to some models relating to change and turbulence.

You'll start thinking about getting a job that suits your personality, your intelligence strengths, your right or left brainedness, your interests and passions. Do that and you'll find yourself experiencing flow rather than struggle. 

Discover how, by getting onto the front foot and working in synch with the first two laws of management you can make life at work more comfortable. You'll learn how to get good feedback from your manager.

Things change when you change. Learn how by changing yourself you'll be better equipped to fit into an organisation that's changing.

You’ll come away from the seminar with some goals to work on, and the inspiration and motivation to get the job you’d really love to have.

It's a big ask expecting to stay healthy without keeping yourself fit.

It's a big ask expecting to get better by having someone do something to you; sooner or later you have to do something to yourself.
