Teal to Pink: Women's Health Day In Montclair On Saturday
A day of fantastic activities is planned on Sept. 22.
On Saturday, Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., women will have an opportunity to gather together in order to get information on ovarian and breast cancer in a non-fearful way and to enjoy activities that promote health and body awareness.
The day will start with Jenn Sommermann, triathlete and ovarian cancer survivor. Sommermann will share her story and how she saw early warning signs because she knew her body well. Then Irma Jenne from the Traditional Chinese Medicine World Foundation will speak about how Chinese Medicine approaches prevention and self-care. She will teach Qigong movements that can be used to stimulate one’s health. Before lunch, Sarah Karl, a Montclair psychologist, will lead the group in a mindfulness meditation that can be used every day to help balance natural fears with healthy awareness.
