Wellness in the Whitsundays stands as a beacon of innovation and heartfelt commitment, built on a robust foundation of professional qualifications and rich lived experience. With a Diploma of Counselling and Mental Health Certification, coupled with active participation as a Lived Experience Professional on suicide prevention panels, our approach is deeply informed and empathetic.

Our story is also woven with threads from the performing arts—spanning extensive involvement in Gold Coast Eisteddfods, Tropicarnivals, and Wintersun performances—reflecting a lifelong passion for creative expression. This artistic heritage resonates throughout our programs, inspiring dynamic workshops that engage both mind and body. My children’s training in dance and musical theatre underscores the importance of creativity and resilience nurtured from a young age.

Behind Wellness in the Whitsundays is a multidisciplinary team whose backgrounds in Science, Photography, Health, and Wellness converge with a single mission: to create a life you don’t need to escape from. Our guiding philosophy, inspired by Divergent Therapies, fosters connections—to ourselves, to each other, and to the natural world—cultivating environments where creativity, movement, and mental wellbeing seamlessly intersect.

As a mother of three, I bring not only professional expertise but also lived insight into the pressures and heartbreak that challenge individuals and communities alike. With over a decade in marketing and sales, I transformed this understanding into Wellness in the Whitsundays: a compassionate, nurturing, and innovative sanctuary dedicated to preventing suicide, engaging young people, and dismantling harmful mental health stereotypes.

Together with our passionate team, we design and deliver transformative workshops, events, and initiatives that nourish the mind, body, and spirit—empowering both locals and visitors to embrace happiness, resilience, and authentic wellbeing in today’s fast-paced world.
