Thoughtfully designed backpacks for breast cancer, heart surgery & shoulder injury recovery. 💖 | Embracing freedom & self-discovery ✨ | Redefining the journey, one step at a time 💫

Messages like this mean so much.

A recent customer purchased one of our backpacks to support a shoulder injury, then put it to the test on the Tongariro Crossing.

Afterwards, she sent this message:

"Loved the backpack - very comfortable, and the waterproof cover came in very handy. Would highly recommend."

Seeing our backpacks support people to keep doing the things they love — whether navigating recovery, rebuilding strength, or simply getting back outdoors — is exactly why Altered Freedom exists.

Because freedom of movement matters.

The last day of autumn brought one of those classic Canterbury contradictions — a warm nor’wester with just enough chill to remind us the seasons are shifting. 🍂

With our last long weekend for a while, it was the perfect chance to get outside with my mokopuna and enjoy the simple gift of time in nature.

There’s something about being outdoors that helps us reset — space to breathe, reflect, and find balance again.

Sometimes freedom is found in grand adventures.
Sometimes it’s in the quieter moments: moving with ease and being fully present.

That’s why the WomansBack was created — to support freedom of movement, so these simple moments can be fully embraced.

As autumn gives way to winter, make space for what restores you.

Not everyone who gets breast cancer has a family history.

I carry the BRCA2 and PALB2 faulty genes, but many people are diagnosed with no known genetic link at all.
Please listen to your body.
Go to your appointments.

Advocate for yourself if something feels wrong.
Early detection, awareness, and education can change lives. 🤍

As a survivor, these conversations are deeply personal to me. They are also part of why Kathryn and I created Altered Freedom — to support people navigating recovery, treatment, and life after diagnosis.

Credit to and for helping bring these important conversations into the spotlight.

Pink Ribbon Month đź’—

Breast cancer changes more than treatment schedules and medical appointments.

It can change how you move through the world, how your body feels, and the confidence you have in carrying everyday things.

That’s one of the reasons Altered Freedom means so much to us.

These backpacks were designed with breast cancer recovery and lymphatic health in mind — helping women return to movement, fresh air, adventure, and everyday life with greater comfort.

And with every backpack sold, $5 is donated to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ đź’—

My mum has always been by my side, right from the very beginning of my life. 🤍
And through some of the hardest moments I’ve faced — diagnosis, treatment, and everything in between — she never stopped showing up with love, strength, patience, and support when I needed it most.

I know this journey was not only hard for me, but for her too. Watching someone you love go through so much while trying to stay strong for them is a kind
of pain many mothers quietly carry.

Even today, she is still here. Supporting me, encouraging me, and loving me through every stage of life.

This Mother’s Day, I just want to say thank you Mum. I’m forever grateful for everything you’ve carried with me. 🤍

And to all the mums — the ones holding it all together, fighting their own battles, grieving, healing, loving, and showing up every day — we see you and we celebrate you. Your love and strength never go unnoticed. 🤍

And for those missing their mums today, we’re holding you close in our thoughts too. 🤍

Wishing all mums a beautiful Mother’s Day. 🤍

Every backpack purchased helped us give back. 🎀

We’re proud to share that we’ve now made our donation to the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ from all backpacks sold. 🤍

Thank you for supporting our small business while also helping fund research, raise awareness, and support Kiwis affected by breast cancer. Every purchase truly made a difference.

Bigger isn’t always better.
Our 25L breast cancer friendly backpack was physiotherapist trialled to reduce imbalance and unnecessary strain on the body.
Recovery needs support — not extra pressure.

I have lived through things that tried to break me.
At 30 — just weeks before my 31st birthday — I was diagnosed with stage 3 grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma, and everything shifted.

I have held fear in one hand and hope in the other.
I have learnt that strength isn’t loud — it’s quiet, steady, and stubborn.

These 40 years shaped me.
The joy. The loss. The healing. The becoming.

I am softer now.
I am braver now.
I am more myself than I have ever been.

And for the first time… I can truly say I am in love with the version of myself I’ve become.
And if the first 40 taught me anything…
it’s that I am capable of more than I ever imagined.

Here’s to the next chapter. ❤️❤️❤️

A Christmas Eve toast to you.

To our customers, supporters, health professionals, friends, and everyone who has quietly encouraged us along the way — thank you. Truly.

As a small business, we’ll be stepping back from social media for a couple of weeks to rest and be present with our families.

🤍 We’ll still be processing orders during this time, so if you need us, we’re here.

Wishing you a safe, gentle, and very Merry Christmas.
We’ll see you in the new year.

— Kathryn & Primrose ✨
