Well, he really wants to meet you. We're thinking about expanding to Tasmania, but we want to meet the locals first and ask them. 

So since he's on holidays there for a few weeks he thought it would be a great opportunity to meet informally over a fine Tassie beer or wine and get properly acqauinted. 

There's no pitch or presentation, simply come along and say hello, grab a drink and ask any questions you might have about Schmooze.

We start with very simple moves like walking forward, walking back, walking in circles in time with the music and skipping. It doesn’t matter if you are not a dancer or don’t have great rhythm: the purpose of this class is to move and enjoy the music, however it happens.

We also focus on rhythm through body percussion and generally have a good time!

ABOUT NORA

I am a professional member of Schmooze and also run Wise Work, teaching small business how to grow business through people. I also dance and teach dancing and always looking for ways to share this with people that's fun.

An Introductory Workshop with a focus on Taxation. We will help you prepare for the end of financial year. What can you claim and how can you maximise tax savings?

Bookings essential as space is limited.

In this day and age, our lives are set to full throttle, we sleep 90 minutes less than we did 100 years ago, we are accessible 24/7 via email, fax, mobile, text, land line, BBM, iM, Messenger, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, video conferencing……… and the list goes on.

Have you ever stopped to ask your body how it feels about the pace we have entered into?

Sleep is a necessity, not a luxury and if you want to sleep better, work more productively, and live longer, now is the time to look at reprioritizing sleep back into its rightful place as a number one priority next to eating and rehydrating.

THE WORKSHOP WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF 5 MAJOR POINTS

• How many hours we should be sleeping (Hours)
• Posture in bed is just as important as out of bed (Posture)
• The importance of a mattress (Mattress)
• The importance of a pillow (Pillow)
• The bedroom environment – what are you really sleeping with? (Protectors)

Following the workshop, the BacktoSleep team will treat us to a mini demonstration on what to expect during a sleep consult.

Schmooze members who book in for a complimentary sleep assessment will receive a special ‘gift’ from the team at BacktoSleep.

ABOUT OUR PRESENTER
With over 12 years experience treating 1000’s of patients and owning several successful practices, Dr. George Skandalellis discovered through his experience that many people suffer from avoidable and unnecessary pain, simply because the mattress and pillow they are sleeping on is of poor quality and does not provide the right spinal support.

Dr. Skandalellis, with the assistance of fellow Health Care Professionals and one of Australia’s leading bedding manufactures, spent the next few years, designing, testing and developing the current back to sleep® mattress and pillow range.

The back to sleep® range is not available in retail outlets as Dr. Skandalellis believes the right mattress and pillow should be recommended by a trained and trusted Health Care Professional.
