Orewa expo provides healthy inspiration for busy women

A local osteopath and nutritionist have combined forces to hold an expo focused on encouraging women to put their health first.

Osteopath Holly Royal of ThreeSixty Osteopathy and nutritionist Sheryl Takayama organised the Healthy Body, Healthy Mind expo on September 6 because they want to “raise awareness of the great expertise in the health-related industries we have on the Hibiscus Coast”.

“We decided to organise the event for busy women – as we are all busy nowadays, and our health sometimes doesn’t get the attention it deserves,” Holly says. “We are focusing on the body and mind because they are inter-related and influence the overall health of us all. Our idea is to give practical easy tips that women can implement straight away to improve overall health and wellbeing.”

Mini-seminars will include one from Sheryl on gut health. Holly will talk about the effect of positive thinking on the muscles, and Kerry Johnson of Pilates and Wellbeing Orewa will speak about regaining control of the pelvic floor muscles.

Local health-related businesses, including Orewa Optics, Dynamic Martial Arts and a company that specialises in body fat composition testing, will showcase their goods.

Ticket are $45 and 100 percent of the profit goes to Women’s Refuge. The event will be held at Orewa Bowling Club, 214 Hibiscus Coast Highway, on Tuesday, September 6, 5.30pm–8.30pm (first presentation at 6.15pm). Nibbles, drinks and ‘goodie bags’ provided.
