Look Good Feel Better is dedicated to supporting you at every stage of your journey. We offer a range of workshops and classes providing advice and guidance around the physical changes you may experience while undergoing treatment. Our services provide a great opportunity to meet other men in a safe and welcoming environment, which can be helpful if you are feeling isolated and alone. You can find our support online or in your local community and our services are open to anyone, anywhere living with any type of cancer.
Skincare & Grooming
These group workshops provide expert advice on skincare during and post treatment; tips for shaving safely during treatment along with general grooming; the importance of sun protection, and how to deal with scars. They are a great way to meet others on a similar journey to share experiences and ideas with. Everybody attending is gifted with a bag of full size skincare and grooming products to try out during the workshop and take home with them. These sessions are available in-person and online.

This is currently available online only and if you are interested in attending a workshop or you are part of a support group and would like more information on how to organise a session, please get in touch.

- Movement & Mobility
After each class attendees are sent an easy to follow recording so they can continue to practice what they’ve learned. These sessions are online only.
Meditation & Breathwork
Meditation and breathwork is about more than just relaxing. Our expert volunteer has worked with people on their cancer journey, using these tools as part of a holistic approach to wellness and transformation.
The session aims to reduce anxiety, increase feelings of calm and relaxation and access altered states of consciousness through meditation, quieting our busy minds and increasing a sense of inner peace and present moment awareness. These sessions are online only.
