Wellness that Works for You!
Stepping Forward, LLC
Lilly Mees, CEO/Owner
They had completed several tests and were able to confirm that I did have Type 1 Diabetes. Therefore, I would be insulin dependent for the rest of my life. After the SHOCK of it all, I realized that I did not want to become a victim and became empowered and took charge of this chronic disease, along with the help of my team. My goal is to help as many people as possible become empowered and overcome the obstacles that may be hindering them from improving their overall quality of life. It's about progress not perfection!
