The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort on St. Simons Island, Ga., will host “Posture & Poise — A Mother/Daughter Day” on Saturday, Nov. 22. This full-day event invites mothers and daughters of all ages to take part in guided coaching sessions led by wellness professionals Marie Artman, M.Ed., and Donna Mastrianni, L.E. The program blends gentle movement, practical posture training, and lifestyle techniques to promote better alignment, strength, and overall well-being.
The day begins with a 45-minute invigorating walk along the resort’s scenic paths, followed by a lively dance class designed to enhance coordination and confidence. Attendees will also climb to the top of the historic St. Simons Lighthouse for a memorable shared experience and panoramic views. During lunch, Marie Artman will lead an instructional session focused on posture improvement: she will teach methods to reduce pain, increase core strength, and cultivate graceful carriage suitable for everyday life.
After lunch, Donna Mastrianni will present an introduction to aromatherapy, explaining how thoughtfully chosen scents can support relaxation, mood balance, and a healthier lifestyle. Participants will learn practical ways to incorporate aromatherapy into home routines and self-care practices.
