Free 40-minute discovery session and follow-up consultation for knowitall.ch readers (conditions apply)
Do you feel frustrated or stuck as you struggle to manage your work-life balance and cope with things like food, exercise, stress or sleep?
Do you find that you are always preoccupied with the problem but lack the time or motivation to get the results you crave?
If so, then now may be the time to enlist the support of a health and wellbeing coach to help you take the first steps towards finding your authentic, vibrant self again!
With more and more health coaches setting up business in this region, it’s important to find someone you can relate to, someone who’s on your wavelength and understands your issues. But how can you be sure to find the right person, without spending a fortune on lots of introductory sessions with different coaches?
To help make the selection process easier, one coach, Ellen Kocher is offering our readers a free 40-minute discovery session that will give you all the time you need to ask those important questions relating to your own health and wellbeing. If, following the discussion, you decide to follow a course of coaching with Ellen, then she is also offering an additional 50-minute consultation free when you book 4 x 50 minute Skype or Phone consultations with her for the price of Fr. 400.-. There is absolutely no obligation to take up the consultation offer to claim your free discovery session, and if you just want to head straight to the consultation then you don’t need to have the discovery session first!
The following photos show the winners for the AMATEUR PHOTO COMPETITION FOR 11th edition of KNOW-IT-ALL PASSPORT®.

If you own a cat or dog and are planning on going away over the summer holidays, then you need to start getting arrangements in place for your pet! For most dog and cat owners, the task of finding suitable lodging for their pets is just as important as finding the perfect holiday villa for the family. Indeed a personal recommendation goes a long way to helping you make the right choice!
So when one of the recommended kennels listed in Know-it-all passport® contacted us recently to offer a discount to our readers, we thought we should let you know!
Based in Chancy, just outside Geneva, Of-Liberty is a long-established kennel (since 1962) for both cats and dogs, described by the owner, Madeleine Champendal, as a “Colonie de Vacances or Hotel!
Lots of space for the dogs...
Describing her facilities for dogs to knowitall.ch, Madeleine told us, “All our guests are looked after individually with lots of affection and attention. They sleep inside, in large, comfortable, centrally-heated kennels (day and night at 20 degrees), in baskets with blankets. The kennels have a direct opening to a 5,000m2 garden outside where there is plenty of shade under trees or parasols.”

If you’re looking for a fun way to get involved in raising money for charity, then the English Speaking Cancer Association has just come up with a great idea!
Rather than organizing a single event to raise funds, they are inviting the public to organize their own parties, all on the same day: 5th May, or Cinco de Mayo as they say in Spanish.
Cinco de Mayo is an annual festival in the US, originally commemorating the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over the French forces of Napoleon III on 5 May 1862. Now a relatively minor festival in Mexico, it has gained a significant following in the US, evolving into a celebration of Mexican-American culture and heritage.
With this in mind, ESCA is inviting the public to get out their sombreros, buy in the tacos and tortillas, and put on their pointy dancing boots to organize a series of Cinco de Mayo Mexican Fiesta theme parties, the likes of which Switzerland has never seen before!
To make the task easier for you, the association has provided a handy guide that will help you through the process of inviting friends and, of course, raising money: all donations from your Fiesta will enable ESCA to carry on providing emotional support and practical help to all those affected by cancer in this region – free of charge.
