ABOUT 500 people gathered at a women’s well-being event in Subang Jaya, Selangor.
The Women Wellness Festival 2.0 at PARC Subang, themed “Wellness in Motion”, featured more than 40 workshops, talks, panels and experiential activities supported by 40 wellness brands and partners.
Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh and event founders Diane Chia, Raja Jesrina Arshad and Sarah Lian launched the event.
Yeoh commended the organisers for contributing to the nation’s efforts in building healthier, more resilient communities.
“This festival aligns with our mission at the ministry to champion active lifestyles, mental resilience and holistic well-being.
“When women are empowered to prioritise their health, our families, communities and country become stronger.
“Events like this create a supportive space where women can move, connect and thrive.”
Attendees immersed themselves in Connect, Grow and Elevate sessions, participating in sunrise yoga, sound healing, breathing exercise, journaling and expert-led workshops on self-awareness, longevity and empowerment.
A key highlight was the Founders Chat, where the founders shared their personal reflections on friendship, balance and empowerment and how community plays a transformative role in women’s wellness.
The festival ended with “Just Stories”, a session led by Jasmine King reflecting on sisterhood and connection.
The festival was founded by three friends who were united by their shared passion for wellness.
“Seeing this community show up for one another reminds us that when women support women, incredible things can happen,” said Chia, who is Millennia Village co-founder and executive director.
“This festival surpassed all expectations, from the energy to the turnout to the depth of conversations across every session,” said PurelyB founder and chief executive officer Raja Jesrina.
Supparetreat founder Lian said: “Collaborating with our sponsors and partners enabled us to bring a richer, more holistic experience to every individual.
“Together, we are redefining what it means to live well and to show up with intention.
“Being part of Women Wellness Festival 2.0 has been incredibly meaningful.”
