Community classes

Feel Better classes are for anyone with any stage at any stage – from diagnosis to post-treatment. There are regular women’s classes in 40+ centres in New Zealand, as well as bi-monthly teens sessions. We are looking to introduce sessions for men, in local communities in the near future.

Finding out you have cancer can be daunting and life-changing. The added stress of the physical side effects of treatment can be hard to cope with. This can impact self-esteem and confidence at a time when a positive attitude is very important. The emphasis in all our classes is to relax and have fun. It’s a chance to do something practical, proactive and positive and to meet people in a similar situation. Many participants say that Look Good Feel Better helped them regain a sense of control and normality at a time when diagnosis and treatment make everything feel overwhelming.

Our signature skincare and make-up sessions are two hours. See the class schedule for exact timings for each location.

Which is better – a community class or online session – is about personal preference, and what stage of treatment. The programme composition is the same in both, however some people prefer to be with others going through a similar journey, while some prefer to be at home is they are feeling more vulnerable. Your safety and comfort is a priority, so we ask that anyone attending a community session has no symptoms of a cold or virus

The sessions provide skincare tips as well as make-up advice. Our class facilitator will guide you through every step, and will demonstrate some basic techniques intended to give you a boost.
