About

I’m passionate about creating spaces and experiences that reconnect people with themselves, each other, and the natural world. As CEO of The Break, I lead a team dedicated to reshaping wellness through regenerative principles, community engagement, and immersive experiences. Our mission is to support the wellbeing of both people and the planet—because true wellness is not just personal, it’s collective and ecological. Previously, I served as CEO of Peninsula Hot Springs, Australia’s premier hot springs destination, where I helped scale operations and champion wellness innovation on a global stage. My journey continues through platforms like the Wellness Warrior Podcast and the Awaken Wellness Gathering, where I engage in conversations with thought leaders and changemakers driving meaningful impact. I’m driven by the belief that wellness is not a luxury—it’s a necessity for a thriving world.
