Born and raised in Germany, Norbert Heuser spent most of his professional life between his residence in Germany and Asia. Norbert had his own companies in Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Germany and in the USA. Working with and among the Chinese for the past 35 years he had a deeper look into the culture and lifestyle than a regular Western person could possibly have.

Gerard Wouters bio as told in first person: For 27 years I have been helping people in service professions who feel like they are never good enough and never get the appreciation they deserve. I help them regain their self-esteem, build their self-confidence and unlearn their fear and worry. I do this by means of a holistic method that I developed myself in 1997 after a seven-year training with a Taoist teacher. This method distinguishes itself by a combined physical/mental treatment, which is still relatively unknown in the rest of the world, but has proven to be very successful for 26 years. Here life processes are explained and one gains insight into what happens in his or her life, which unconsciously learned behavior is the cause of this and how you can easily solve this. It does not take any conscious effort to bring about this change, because this change takes place in the subconscious and is therefore automatically integrated into daily life. 97% of my clients are permanently freed from their complaints during the treatments. This makes life much simpler, more organized and happier. Author of: A Profound Journey of Self-Discovery: How to Make Life Simple, Happy and Successful the Taoist Way

Having worked within multi-functional roles across North America, Europe and Africa. In 2015, he founded Baobab Wines as an importer of South African wines offering the American consumer wines of both exceptional quality and value.  The baobab tree is an icon of the African continent and lies at the heart of many traditional African remedies and folklore. The baobab is a prehistoric species which predates both mankind and the splitting of the continents over 200 million years ago. Native to the African savannah where the climate is extremely dry and arid, it is a symbol of life and positivity in a landscape where little else can thrive. Every part of the baobab tree is valuable - the bark can be turned into rope and clothing, the seeds can be used to make cosmetic oils, the leaves are edible, the trunks can store water and the fruit is extraordinarily rich in nutrients and antioxidants. This is how it became known as "The Tree of Life". Baobab trees grow in 32 African countries. They can live for up to 5,000 years, reach up to 30 meters high and up to an enormous 50 meters in circumference. Baobab trees provide shelter, food and water for animals and humans, which is why many communities across Africa have made their homes near Baobab trees.  https://www.baobabwines.com/
