So What Exactly Is Mental Heath?
Mental health is described as, "a level of psychological well-being, or an absence of a mental disorder."
From the perspective of 'positive psychology' or 'holism', mental he
alth may include an individual's ability to enjoy life, and create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience.
The World Health Organization defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community"

So What Does WellBalance™ Mean?
*****
When we get "stuck" in a prolonged cycle of unmanageable dilemmas, our innately Authentic Self, vested by our Divine Soul Self, becomes desperate for this cycle to end; 
the true voice inside us warns us that something is "just not right", and becomes an inner-voice that will no longer remain silenced or forgotten.
This essential awareness often surfaces as symptoms of anxiety, panic, anger, mistrust, dissatisfaction, dispondence, depression, addiction and more.
"If you are going down a road . . .
and don't like what's in front of you . . .
and look behind you . . .
and don't like
what you see . . .
get off the road . . .
Create a new path ! . . ."
~ Elder Sistah Maya Angelou
When our clients learn how to slow down and just "BE"; when we learn to make time to listen to our Authentic Soul Self; when we learn to make time to acknowledge and process our innate feelings; when we learn to make nurturing and loving our Selves our real purpose and calling; then we come to discover and naturally be who we truly are.
Then we learn to dare to naturally love our Selves without appology. 
Then we find a True Sense of [Self] fulfillment, which we'd previously sought in food, sex, drugs, status, perfect bodies and perfect careers.
When our clients come to realize that our "westernized" pleasure-seeking and "escapist" culture is unhealthy for us in countless ways; so much so that just being born into it, induces personal dis-ease and imbalance.
When we come to see how wimmin™ whose dispositions are often deemed to be "sweet", "sensitive", creative, intuitive, non-conformist, unconventual, etc., are unfortunately pre-disposed to readily internalizing Self-negating beliefs and Self-defeating patterns.
When our clients come to learn to effectively strip away the unwanted layers of Self-negation and Fear; we come to learn to affirm our own True Selves, our own True Voices, and we come to Proactively ReShape™ and live "on our own authentically holistic and Womin-Affirmative™ terms". . .
