Isla is a wellness consultant and an educator. She has a passion for holistic solutions to health issues, combined with a healthy skepticism that comes from a lifetime of growing up as a doctor's daughter in our traditional medical system. She started her company, Applied Wellness Technologies, in the spring of 2009. Her goal is to help others weed through the multitude of advertised products available - to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak! - and to inform them of the science that underlies various products and modalities for healthy living. In her research, she has discovered the value of adult coloring as a means of encouraging relaxation, stress relief, and creativity. As an advanced colorist (i.e. a little old lady who never outgrew the love of coloring she had as a child) she is delighted to add the publication of coloring books to her 'repertoire' for the benefit of anyone looking for stress relief in our high-stress society.
