2020: a year of productivity and purpose

Sue Leach from The Natural Health Hub in Lymington on setting and achieving your 2020 goals

"Happy New Year, everyone. 2020 is set to be significant year. Not only is it the start of a new decade and a leap year, in symbolic terms it is augured to be a year of great purpose and potential.
