Apollo Bay Wellbeing Day for Women with Cancer

Barwon South Western

Apollo Bay Wellbeing Day – Thursday 20th March 2025

Local women who have experienced a cancer diagnosis came together in Apollo Bay for a Wellbeing Day filled with connection, creativity and nourishment. BSWRICS and Great Ocean Road Health (GORH) supported Counterpart to host this fantastic event.

The day began with a gentle and grounding yoga session led by Gabby Moore from Bespoke Mobile Yoga. After morning tea, the GORH team treated participants to an incredible live cooking demonstration, led by William Chow. Attendees loved learning practical tips for healthy eating and seeing nutritious meals come together in real time.

Following a shared lunch, the afternoon shifted into a calm and creative space with Caroline Williams from Vivid Art for Wellbeing, who guided the group through a hands-on art session.

The energy in the room was vibrant, with participants fully engaged throughout each activity.

The event was also supported by several other wonderful organisations. Thank you to Women’s Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West, the Thursday Girls Group, and Mending Casts Inc.

A huge thank you to our fantastic volunteers, Branka and Karen, for their invaluable help – and to all the participants whose energy and enthusiasm made the day truly special.
