Dear Community,

Happy July! As we welcome the heart of summer, we're so grateful to be apart of your wellness journey. Whether you're soaking up the sunshine or staying cool indoors, we hope this month brings you moments of balance, joy and connection.

A Personal Update: I recently got married and now I am officially Dr. Jaycee Barry (formerly Dr. Volkmann)! Thank you for all of the love and support as this new season feels even more special sharing it with you.

July Safety Tip

Check your outdoor spaces for hidden fall risks. Uneven pavement, loose steps, or cluttered decks can lead to accidents. A quick walk-through with fresh eyes - or a professional home safety check - can go a long way.

Community Shoutout

A huge thank you to Mirror Lake Inn for partnering with us for our summer giveaway! Your generosity made it possible for us to give back in such a meaningful way.

Congratulations to Michele L., the winner of our June giveaway - we're so excited for you! At Balanced Living, we love creating opportunities to support and celebrate our community. Stay tuned for more changes to win and connect with local wellness experiences!
