Testimonials
I have not been around Women Living Well for very long but by attending events I have been able to overcome my anxiety about networking , getting to know new people and being friendly out loud.
I appreciate the opportunity to not only network, but relax and get to know new friends.

Coming to Orangeville in October 2007, I was looking forward to meeting women with similar interests. The change from living in the western prairies to the diversity in ON has been worth the move. I was delighted to see the ad for Women Living Well and found it met my need.

Several years ago I was at a low point in my life and the awesome women of Women Living Well were able to boost my self esteem and support me as I rebuilt my life.

When I first moved into the Orangeville area, my plans were to re-establish and grow my healing business while continuing to work my ‘day job’. Not knowing anyone I wondered how I was going to achieve my goal when I received an invitation to a Women Living Well function.
Since that day, I have met many good people, made friends, and clients, and received the support and services that I needed to achieve and surpass my goal. Within one year, I was able to give up my ‘day job’ and I now run a successful and busy healing centre.
My contacts that are connected with Women Living Well helped put me ‘on the map’ (you know who you are) and I am truly grateful to them and continue to enjoy great friendship with them all.
I continue to be involved in Women Living Well functions for the pure joy of connecting with such an amazing group of women.

“Orangeville and greater Dufferin County is so fortunate to have an inspirational networking organization like WLW. It is an ideal multifaceted group for like minded women who have the awareness that they are worth the investment in themselves and provides an arena to pay it forward for those who are grateful for where they are in life. Together as women, we can touch upon all aspects of our lives from personal to professional. It truly is all about “living well” while communicating and sharing within our community. I wear my membership proudly and look forward to more fantastic events.”

Thank you for a lovely opening evening to Women Living Well. Your commitment and energy for this organization was reflected throughout the entire night. It is going to be an excellent outlet for women like myself to develop mentorships, for other women to find support and for all of us to uncover a deeper sense of who we are as women in the community.
Looking forward to the upcoming events!!

Hi Judy:
Just a note to thank you for the kind words about Wightman last night. It certainly means a lot to have you mention your sponsors in such a favourable way. I am delighted that you chose Wightman as one of your partners in Women Living Well.
Congratulations on another successful evening. Judy, you put so much thought and detail into your dinners and the time you spend with each of us is a true testament of Women Living Well! You have made it so easy to sit back and enjoy the ambience, the food, and most importantly, the company of other women in a relaxed atmosphere! Your choice of speakers has been truly inspiring. I can’t wait for the next event!

I enjoyed the show thoroughly. Women Living Well was greatly showcased within the format of business and practitioners and services. Judy and her team co-organizers were very efficient and supportive throughout the day. The environment was professional and intimate at the same time. I look forward to participating in the future shows.

This is a Great way to information out to the public about all the great and useful community services. Also, keeping the public aware about anything new and also old. It was a great experience and one that the Canadian Mental Health Association Centre for Mental Health Orangeville is happy and proud to be a part of. Anything that helps to educate and inform the community about mental health issues and reduce the stigma is a great opportunity. Thanks for letting us (CMHA) be a part of this great event.
