When the Ground Shifts: Understanding Your Mind, Emotions & Meaning After Cancer, with Evie Bradley

Evie Bradley is a psychologist with over 24 years of experience working in disability, community health, schools, child and adolescent mental health, and private practice. She works with people aged 14 to 104 and has a special interest in supporting women through trauma recovery, identity changes, and life transitions.

Evie is passionate about helping people make sense of their inner world — especially the patterns and beliefs we pick up early in life that can quietly shape how we feel, relate, and cope. Her work blends neuroscience, warmth, and practical tools to help people feel more grounded, less overwhelmed, and more connected to the kind of life they truly want.

Mindful Movement- Mandy Hogan 

Meditation, mindfulness and movement are the body’s natural way to manage stress. As a woman and as a health professional, Mandy strives to make a difference to the health and happiness of all people. Mandy’s vocational mission is to positively impact the well-being of others.

Mandy passionately believes that we can proactively influence our mental and physical health, both individually and on a broader scale

Mandy has taught and practiced mindful meditation, Tai Chi and Qigong for the past 10 years. This has provided her with experiential insight into the strength, resilience, compassion and humility that comes from these ancient practices. It’s a gift.

Creative Activity- Naomi Pattie

Introducing Naomi Pattie… a country girl at heart. Local watercolor artist living in North East Victoria. Naomi has always loved the colors of our native flora and Fauna. She works mostly in watercolor. She has dabbled in different mediums, but she keeps returning to watercolor!
