A Weekend of Connection, Wellness and Growth as Malaysia's Largest Women's Wellness Festival Wraps Its Biggest Edition Yet

The Women Wellness Festival returned for its biggest edition yet, with over 1,500 tickets issued over a full two-day celebration of movement, mindfulness and meaningful connection at Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown on 3 and 4 October 2026, with YB Hannah Yeoh officiating for a second consecutive year.

Now in its third year and guided by its founding philosophy to celebrate womanhood at all stages of life, the festival grew from a single day into a full weekend, featuring more than 50 workshops, talks, panels and hands-on sessions across five zones and two floors. The expanded programme made it one of Malaysia's largest and most comprehensive women-centric wellness gatherings. The festival was officiated by YB Hannah Yeoh, alongside founders Diane Chia, Raja Jesrina Arshad and Sarah Lian.

In her address, YB Hannah Yeoh commended the organisers for creating a space that empowers women to invest in their wellbeing. “Women need spaces where they can pause, learn and realise that they do not have to carry everything alone. Wellbeing is not only about how we feel and it is also about having security, choices and greater control over our own future.”

Across the weekend, attendees immersed themselves in experiences spanning the full picture of wellbeing, from movement and mindfulness to the conversations women do not always get to have out loud. A first-time focus on financial wellness invited women to consider security and independence as part of their overall health. From expert-led workshops to honest panel discussions, every session was curated to help attendees move naturally between learning, movement, connection and rest.

“To see this festival grow into its biggest edition yet has been deeply moving. Our goal has always been to create a safe, inspiring space where women can learn, connect and invest in themselves, whatever age they are and wherever they are on their journey. Seeing this community show up for one another, in even greater numbers this year, reminds us that when women support women, incredible things happen,” said Diane Chia, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Millennia Village.

Mesra Run 2.0 Doubles Participation to 2,000 @ Terengganu's Hari Sukan Negara 2026 Celebration

Mesra Mall successfully hosted Mesra Run 2.0 on Saturday, 10 October, attracting 2,000 participants, double the approximately 1,000 participants recorded during its inaugural edition in 2025. Organised in conjunction with the Terengganu State-level Hari Sukan Negara (HSN) 2026 celebrations, in collaboration with Jabatan Belia dan Sukan Negeri Terengganu (JBSNT), the run was the highlight of a three-day programme held at Mesra Mall from 8 to 10 October 2026.

The event featured 1,455 participants in the 5KM Fun Run and 545 in the 10KM category, alongside the 3KM Berjalan Ria Madani family walk. In view of the hazy conditions on race day, the 10KM route was shortened to 5KM as a precautionary measure to minimise potential health risks, with prizes remaining unchanged. Despite the adjustment, the event received an encouraging response from participants and the local community.

The run was flagged off by Francis Tan, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd, which manages Mesra Mall; Cik Aziam Muhammad, General Manager of Mesra Mall; and Tuan Haji Asmadi bin Mohamad, Director of JBSNT. The Terengganu State-level HSN 2026 celebrations were officiated by Datuk Abdul Kahar Abdul Latif, Director of Federal Development, Terengganu.

Beyond the run, the three-day programme featured 14 additional sporting and recreational activities, including archery, badminton, netball, football, chess, tenpin bowling, drone sports training and a pushbike race for children. The programme also incorporated the Sports Carnival Inspire OKU Active for persons with disabilities, reinforcing the event’s commitment to inclusive participation and active living across all age groups.

Parenthood Media and Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur Spotlight Pre-Pregnancy Health at ‘Before We Bloom’ Forum

Parenthood Media, together with Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur (PHKL), recently hosted What Women Want Forum: Before We Bloom – A Couple’s Guide to Pre-Pregnancy, an informative session focused on trying to conceive (TTC), fertility and pre-pregnancy health.

Held recently at MyToday, Atria Shopping Gallery, the forum brought women together for an
open discussion on reproductive health, common fertility concerns and the importance of
seeking the right medical guidance early.

The panel featured Dr Raymond Lim, Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G), and Dr Lim Sue
Wen, Endocrinologist, from Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Together, they shared insights
on fertility, hormonal health, age-related considerations, underlying medical conditions and the
different factors that can affect conception.

Preparing for Pregnancy Starts Earlier Than Many Think

One of the key messages from the forum was that pre-pregnancy care does not have to begin
only when someone is actively trying to conceive. Looking after reproductive and overall health earlier can help identify potential concerns and support better preparation for pregnancy.

The specialists, Dr Raymond Lim and Dr Lim Sue Wen, also discussed how fertility changes
with age, while health conditions such as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome
(PMOS), endometriosis, thyroid disorders and diabetes may make conception more
challenging.
