Recover Wellbeing

Exercise + Cancer

Exercising during and after cancer treatment provides the following benefits:

⭐️ Improved energy levels
⭐️ Increased bone density
⭐️ Increased survival rates
(I’m going to say that one again)
⭐️ INCREASED SURVIVAL RATES
⭐️ Decreased risk of recurrence (📣 louder for the people in the back!!!)
⭐️ Improved mental health and coping
⭐️ Improve muscle mass + strength
⭐️ Improved tolerance to treatments and reduction in side effects
⭐️ Promotes better sleep

It doesn’t have to be huge, but it does need to be something. Move your body in a way you enjoy. It might be walking, weights, Pilates, yoga, swimming or playing with your kids/grandkids. Aim to increasing it over time to a moderate level.

Start slow, start gently… but start 🙏🏼🤍

🌀 MURUNGIDYAL / The Healing 🌀

By the amazing, local artist

The RW fam had this commissioned just for me and I can’t tell you how special it is to have something created in your honour with your own story.

To everyone who contributed last year to the purchase of this incredible gift - THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart ♥️

It’s been sitting in storage while we travelled, housesat and finally, moved house!

But now, here she sits, in my favourite room, above our piano (and carving from my late grandpa) to fill me with gratitude each and every day.

I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect to remember the RW chapter by. I have nothing but the best memories to reflect on when I look at her each day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼🤍

What are you letting in through your SKIN?

Our SKIN is our largest organ and it is porous - meaning it ABSORBS what you put on it.

Many of our modern products contain endocrine disrupters that can wreak havoc with your hormones or carcinogenic chemicals (no thank you!).

Read your labels and look to avoid things like:
❌ Parabens
❌ Aluminium
❌ Sulfates
❌ Phthalates
❌ Fragrance
❌ Formaldehyde

I always try and choose naturally based products - bonus if they’re organic! 🍃
