2011 has been a very fulfilling year for us. Besides expanding our team improving our website, and constantly growing our online and offline community, we have also opened an additional JasminBalance office, in Miami, Florida. Furthermore, we continued inspiring individuals to improve the quality of their lives and to feel good, be happy, and lead a life they love!
