### George’s Reviews:
“When George presented his wellbeing workshop I must admit that initially I was sceptical…. But 8 weeks later I’ve lost 18lbs, killed my sugar habit, my glucose levels & blood pressure have normalised…. George’s non-evangelist approach and ‘progress not perfection’ philosophy helped me start making changes and maintain the momentum. Having experienced the difference first hand it’s no surprise that we’ve invited him back in present his workshop to more members of the team!”
