For Immediate Release

Dr. Kathy Gruver set to Keynote California Head Start Association's Health Institute Conference in Los Angeles.

With an expected attendance of 250 people, CHSA will feature Dr. Gruver as the opening keynote speaker for their yearly event. Gruver, a health and wellness expert with over two decades of experience will share her knowledge of stress reduction and mindfulness with a talk entitled, Mindfulness and Perception; Keys to Better Health and Less Stress.  

Gruver conveys her message of relaxation and better health by sharing personal stories like that of being stranded in the country side of England "looking at something pretty." And how going to a beach party in Vegas can mess with your perception of self.

But it's not all fun and frolicking as Kathy also shares practical techniques that can be incorporated into daily life. "Meditation, affirmations, visualization and mindfulness are important things that can help the attendees to not only help themselves but also the students they interact with on a daily basis." Says Gruver. "It's my job to educate, entertain and make sure everyone leaves with at least one option of something they can do TODAY to improve their lives."
