Portland Wellbeing Day for Women with Cancer

Barwon South Western

Portland Wellbeing Day – Friday 8th November 2024

Portland’s Wellbeing Day was held Friday 8th November with BSWRICS & Counterpart partnering with Portland District Health. It was a great day with over 20 women in attendance held at Portland Bowling Club.

To start the day, Dietitian Alecia Watson from Portland District Health shared insights into nutrition during cancer treatment and provided tips on managing food-related side effects. After morning tea, we enjoyed a light movement session with Brenda from BFF Studios, who led us on a relaxing Tai Chi journey. By the end of the session, we had worked up an appetite and were ready for a fabulous lunch catered by Twelvefoldportland .

We wrapped up the day with a nurturing sound bath session, guided by Relle from Sonic Harmony – Sound Healing Therapy. Such a great experience for local women with cancer and grateful to all the women who dedicated a day to their wellbeing and took part in the activities.
