Women’s Health Week, which runs from September 4 to 8 this year, carries a vital message: “grow your knowledge.” The aim is to encourage women to be proactive about their health by making informed decisions. Melissa Woodward, a women’s health coach and remedial massage therapist, is a strong advocate for this cause.
During Women’s Health Week, it’s crucial for women to learn more about their bodies from reliable sources. To kick off the week, Jean Hailes has recommended several “quick wins” for women to safeguard their health:
For those aged 50 to 74, watch out for a bowel cancer test kit.
Schedule a cervical screening test.
Get your blood pressure checked.
Book a free breast screen.
Pay attention to your mental health.
Women’s Health Week serves as a platform to raise awareness and educate women about health issues that often go unaddressed. It’s an opportunity to empower women with knowledge and promote better health outcomes.
Melissa Woodward’s dedication to women’s health stems from her passion for helping women overcome challenges related to their well-being. She believes that by providing women with accurate information and support, they can lead healthier and more fulfilling lives at every stage.
In addition to her remedial massage business, ‘Fearless Health,’ Melissa Woodward co-hosts the ‘Empowered Women’s Health’ podcast with naturopath and nutritionist Erin Bailey. The podcast’s primary focus is to equip women with valuable health information, enabling them to advocate for themselves in healthcare settings.
Women’s Health Week 2023 encourages women to take charge of their health, learn, and grow in knowledge to make informed choices for their well-being.
