The Holistic Health & Cancer Coach

This reflection isn’t about blame; it’s about understanding where systems help and where they hinder the care we all depend on.

I’d love to hear what others see in their own corners of health and care. What moments have shown you the best and the limits of our current system?

A reflection on compassion, systems, and reform in WA Health In our hospitals, systems are meant to safeguard life. Yet when these frameworks become rigid, they risk stifling the very care they were designed to protect.

This looks like a really worthwhile event!

The panel is dedicated to keeping the patient at the centre of the care being provided.

If you’d like to learn more about the latest research into the side-effects of breast cancer treatment, this discussion promises to be both insightful and practical. It will explore how new understanding is already starting to shape the support and care that patients receive from our medical teams.

Two wonderful community organisations, MenAble INC and the The Paperbark Wellness Project collaborating together inviting you to a conversation definitely worth having. This is the 10th Paperbark Conversation and as always, the panellists are local specialists who speak to both their professional and personal experiences of the topic.

I'm looking forward to this conversation to help me better understand how I can support the important men in my life. 💙

What does it mean to be a ‘mid-life man’? What expectations does he put on himself?

Join us as we share lived experiences and talk about connection, hormones, mental health, purpose, nutrition, exercise and also understanding mid-life women.

Our Paperbark Conversations events are an opportunity to spend an evening with a panel of local healthcare practitioners and others discussing a particular topic. The discussion of personal experiences is a key element of these events and showcases the power of story.

Panellists:
Adrian Kemp (counsellor - South West Counselling)
Dr Steve De Luca (anaesthetist - Busselton/Bunbury Hospitals)
Ben Robinson (co-owner Margaret River CrossFit)
Leah Hardy (Leah Hardy - Naturopath Margaret River)

These amazing ladies send shivers through my body every time I hear them sing. Every time I hear the Sacred world music choir there are moments my soul is invigorated, in other moments - soothed. When their voices sing out you can hear a pin drop amongst the audience...they're well worth seeing. And if you do...you'll be exported around the globe, through eons of time...and won't even have to purchase a plane ticket!

🌿 Introducing: The Healing Path – A Creative Journey with Labyrinths and Mandalas 🌿

Meditation comes in many different forms, and the beauty of it is that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Some of us are drawn to moving meditations, while others find peace in silence, mindful activities, or even guided or sound meditations.

Why is this? The answer lies in epigenetics—our unique experiences and biology shape the practices that resonate most deeply with us.

Join us for The Healing Path, a workshop that blends creativity and mindfulness through the use of labyrinths and mandalas. This is an opportunity to explore a meditative practice that might just be the perfect fit for you.

I can personally recommend Dianne from Dharma Massage Therapies. Whenever she introduces new skills to her practice I know that training and a lot of thought and research will be behind the reason she sees the value of her new skills to her clients.

I'm excited to be taking part in this 4-week programme...

Many of you will have heard Dianne from Dharma Massage Therapies speak at our meetings over the years about the work she does as a Lymphoedema Therapist. Some may not know that she has expanded her services to include a 4-week Qigong programme specifically for those who have had breast cancer.

The surgery and treatments that many undergo after such a diagnosis can often impact the lymphatic system, tissue, muscles and ligaments in the chest and shoulder areas...Qigong for Breast & Shoulder Health has been designed and will be facilitated by Dianne to help us ensure we get the most out of our recovery and rehabilitation.

If you're interested in this amazing programme (which starts this Wednesday) please contact Di for more information: 0401 767 873

Dianne from Dharma Massage Therapies has been my 'go to' for lymphatic massage, guidance and support for years. Having recently been on a personal cancer journey her knowledge and understanding has increased ten-fold...and it was 'up there' long before this! You can see why I feel incredibly privilaged to have Dianne in my corner.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Dharma Massage Therapies and am excited to see how Dianne's practice is evolving for our benefit!
