Helga Hayse

Two years before she was widowed, Helga created "A Wife's Guide to Financial Intimacy"� to teach women about the need for financial participation in their marriage. Just as she was launching the seminar in the public arena, Hayse's husband died suddenly in an accident. The information she had researched to teach other women helped save her life. Helga is the founder of The Institute for Vital Aging, a California non-profit organized to teach people in midlife about renewed opportunities for wellness and healthy aging. She is a member of the American Society on Aging and was an invited speaker at the 2006 annual convention.
