www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday March 7, 2007 - 21 INTERNATIONAL Get out and celebrate the successes the women around the world and around your community have had. Let's continue to work towards women's equality! Women's DAY MARIA KINLOUGH BODY SHAPING FITNESS STUDIO FOR WOMEN The Body Shaping Fitness Studio For Women is owned and operated by Maria Kinlough and Dirk Gebhardt. They have created Oakville's most exciting fitness facility for women. Their philosophy at the Studio is to provide a caring, unique state of the art environment to achieve optimum total body health and physical shaping. Their goal is to be the best facility of its kind. Maria's involvement with her clients gave her the opportunity to speak to hundreds of women individually. As a result, she began to understand that most were stressed, tired, lacking self esteem and feeling that they never would achieve a healthy, toned body because they had failed so many times. Maria found there was a void in the health and fitness industry where it pertained to women. Women need a place that feeds their souls where they can be themselves, not Mom, daughter, wife, or who they are expected to be at work. Together, she and Dirk opened a beautiful 10,000 sq. ft. state of the art fitness facility that caters to women's needs. MARCH 8, 2007 Each year on March 8, people around the world celebrate the progress made to advance equality for women and girls. International Women's Day was established by the United Nations in 1977 and continues to mark an opportunity to highlight women's lives, their achievements and the challenges they continue to face.

International Womanís Day celebrates women and the choices Dr. Simpson believes strongly that everyone has the right to choose what is best for themselves and for their family, especially when that comes to health care. As a chiropractor, Dr. Simpson knows that natural approaches to health care are often the best and correct the cause of an individual's problem rather than just covering up the symptoms.
