Join Us for a Women’s Networking Dinner

We hope you can join us on Tuesday, August 11th for networking and dinner! 

We’re thrilled with our new space at Homeward Bound in Novato. It’s spacious and quiet, allowing for intimate conversations at our tables of six. The meals prepared by the Chef’s academy have wowed us with their healthy and delicious selections. AND we’re contributing to such a great cause with every dinner reservation.

By hosting our event with Homeward Bound, we directly support the mission of their Fresh Starts Culinary Academy. This program provides hands-on training, experience, and job placement opportunities for individuals working to transform their futures. The choice to partner with Homeward Bound makes a meaningful difference in their lives.

The location of our venue, Homeward Bound’s ‘Gilardi Center’ is on Puetts Way off the Hamilton Parkway in Novato. Please click the Google Maps for location assistance.

Deepti Manepalli

The Anatomy of Balance:
Hidden Systems that Keep You Steady

Most people think balance is simply a matter of strength or coordination, but it actually depends on a remarkable partnership between your eyes, inner ears, muscles, joints and brain. Join us for an engaging look at the hidden systems that keep you upright; why dizziness and imbalance occur; and practical strategies to stay confident, active, and steady at every age.

Deepti Manepalli, PT, OCS, is the owner of Silver Strides Physical Therapy in San Rafael. As a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and vestibular rehabilitation expert, she helps people regain confidence in their movement by addressing dizziness, vertigo, balance issues, pain, and mobility limitations. Deepti is passionate about helping adults age actively, stay independent, and continue doing the activities they love. To learn more, visit https://www.silverstridespt.com
