“I am wellbeing” is our positive affirmation, or mantra which we repeat to encourage good health, enhance our happiness and instill a more positive outlook.
Our Black Teal Bay brand is in recognition of the friendly and relaxed Black Teal ducks we regularly encounter as they swim and diving out on the lake.
