Midlife brings changes none of us signed up for. Bodies age, skin and hair change, and sometimes it can feel isolating.

But what if we could talk about it (all of it!) honestly — together?

Join Emma Wright, local body image coach and author, and Rosemary Chalmers, owner of D’or boutique, for an intimate evening of conversation at D’or in Arrowtown.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a panel-style discussion. It's a chance to ask the questions you don’t normally get to ask, hear other women’s experiences, and walk away with a fresh perspective and practical ways to enjoy the body you’re in right now.

We’ll also be joined by a local therapist [TBC] to answer questions about managing change in this season of life.

What You’ll Experience

Real talk about why body changes in midlife can feel so unsettling — and why it’s not your fault.
Honest insights on style, hair, and skin from women who understand what you’re navigating.
A safe space to listen, share, and feel part of a community of smart midlife women.

By the End of the Evening You Will:

Understand why body changes can trigger strong emotions — and leave knowing no one is “failing.”
Hear candid stories, practical tools, and fresh ways to feel more grounded in your body right now.
Leave having had a fun evening, real community connection, and a new perspective on enjoying the body you’re in.
