(Guest Speaker / Author) Dr. Emilia Dauway is the former Chief of Breast Surgery and the director of the Breast Cancer Program at Baylor, Scott and White Healthcare in Texas, USA.  She is an American trained surgeon who has taken the opportunity to practice general and oncologic surgery in Australia. She is interested in tumor biology differences across cultures and ethnic groups, as well as, the impact of cancer treatments on quality of life.  This interest has sparked a passion for teaching and volunteering her surgical skills.  She has worked with medical missions internationally in Peru, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Haiti and Cameroon, Africa.

Dr Dauway completed her Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher Training with Tammy Williams (Yoga NRG & Mindfulness Training Aust) and has integrated Mindfulness and Yoga into her Restore More events and Centre for Personal Renewal Programs for Breast Cancer Patients. She has recently released her first book “Live Fearlessly” 

My final words are those of Fred Rogers, “If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet. How important you can be to the people you may never even dream to meet. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.” For me, each mission I leave something of myself behind, a bit of knowledge and some healing for someone that matters.
