Wellbeing is an important aspect of life, especially for people living with cancer. Maintaining good physical, mental, and emotional health can help you manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and positively impact outcomes.

There are many ways in which you can maintain good wellbeing, including regular exercise, a healthy diet, social support, mindfulness and meditation, and a positive outlook. By prioritizing your wellbeing, you can help to improve your overall quality of life.

At Yes to Life, we offer different Wellbeing Sessions, from Mindfulness to Yoga, EFT, a Cooking Club and even a Book club, where you can explore and share the publications about Integrative Oncology.

New Yes to Life Wigwam Book Club
Do you have an ever-increasing pile of books next to your bed or in your online basket ready to purchase? If only you had more time! Us too! Navigating an integrative approach to cancer can include a steep learning curve. We want to empower ourselves with good quality information and evidence to support our decisions and journey. It is therefore usual for this process to include reading certain books and there are several that typically come to mind. We have wanted to launch our Wigwam Cancer Support Book Club to support you in this for a while and we're excited to say that this will be starting in January.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) with Aga Kehinde and Kathy Adams
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is an evidence-based tool known as ‘’tapping ‘’. It involves gentle systematic tapping on particular parts of the face and body, sometimes described as psychological acupuncture, as the tapping points are located at the same points which are used in the traditional acupuncture. EFT allows us to release the intensity and transform the way uncomfortable feelings like hurt, guilt, fear, or anger may be affecting our experience. EFT can also be used to help transform the thoughts and beliefs behind our emotional experiences. 1st Wednesday of the month starting again on the 4th of October 19,00 to 20,00
