Menopause and Cancer Panel

You’ll move at your own pace through simple, supportive exercises to help ease joint aches, improve strength, and boost energy.

Aromatherapy Workshop 

Join Ying for a 45-minute aromatherapy session designed for those experiencing menopause after cancer. You’ll learn how stress and the nervous system can affect hot flushes and night sweats, and explore simple aromatherapy tools and grounding practices to support steadiness. Be guided through gentle body awareness, try a soothing hand massage, and experience a cooling aromatherapy tool to ease flushes. You’ll also create a small, practical plan to take away, as well as a sample of hand cream or hydrolate to continue using at home.

Styling Session 

Join Zoe Allen, Menopause and Cancer Volunteer and founder of Styling After Cancer, for a styling workshop. If knowing what to wear has started to feel a bit harder—you’re not alone. Cancer treatment often brings significant physical and emotional changes that make knowing what to wear that bit more challenging.

This workshop is all about sharing experiences, swapping ideas, and finding simple ways to feel more confident .

We’ll chat about how treatment can impact how we feel about our appearance, small styling tweaks that can make a big difference. Zoe is a trained stylist and cancer survivor who understands first-hand how confidence can be impacted by treatment. She’ll share practical ideas to help overcome post-treatment concerns and make everyday outfits feel more put together.
