Colac Wellbeing Day for Women with Cancer
Local women who have experienced a cancer diagnosis came together in Colac for a Wellbeing Day bought together local women who have experienced cancer for a day of relaxation, self-care, information and connection.
The day began with a gentle and grounding yoga session from the chair led by Hope Carmody. Following morning tea, Paige Burke Dietician from Colac Area Health provided valuable insights into using nutrition to support recovery, manage treatment side effects, and improve overall well-being during and after cancer treatment.
Following a shared lunch, the afternoon shifted into a calm and creative space with Liza Alexander local art teacher, 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 the Thursday Girls Group, and Mending Casts Inc.
A huge thank you to the fantastic volunteers, Branka and Glenda, for their invaluable help – and to all the participants whose energy and enthusiasm made the day truly special. BSWRICS and Colac Area Health supported Counterpart to host this fantastic event.
