It was through her own breast cancer experience that our founder Tamara developed her deep passion for spreading awareness around breast cancer in younger women – and the importance of self-checking and knowing your normal.
Check Your Bits aims to increase the number of New Zealanders performing regular self-checks and empowering you to prioritise your health and wellbeing. Women focused. Allies affected.
All workshops can be either in person or online – location is no barrier.
If your workplace sees the importance of creating opportunities to inspire your team and facilitate health and wellbeing conversations, get in touch and we can arrange a time to discuss. Sessions run 45–90 minutes and suit lunch-and-learns, wellbeing weeks and Pink Ribbon month.
Get a group of your whanau or girlfriends together and book a private workshop with Tamara. You'll leave feeling inspired and armed with the tools and techniques to perform self-checks and make it part of your regular routine.
Every workshop can run online for distributed teams and rural groups, with the same live demonstration, Q&A and take-home resources.
Why self-checks matter for younger women, how to do one properly, what changes to look for, and exactly what to do – and say – if something feels off.
“Tamara came to speak to a group of people at ANZ. She was very raw and honest with her cancer journey, walking us through how she discovered her cancer and how she dealt with it. She reinforced that we are the ones who know our bodies and to really push if we feel something is wrong. She then spent time educating us on how to do a self-check – it really made me think all women need to hear Tamara speak!”
“Tamara is a breath of fresh air. Her journey is inspiring, not only captivating an audience, but inspiring them to advocate for their own health and 'check their bits'. She has a gentle but sincere message and is so generous with her story, bringing her audience in with her honesty and heart-led approach.”
