Better Health through Self Discovery
I’ve organised this special expo to empower you to make informed choices about your health holistically, nurturing your mind, body, and spirit. To educate you, reconnect you to what truly matters, and open you up to curiosity. From the limits of western medicine to exploring complementary alternative medicine (CAM). We're here to guide you on a journey of rediscovering what support looks like.

Holistic Wellness Taster
Bridging the Gap Between Western Medicine and Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM)
The Wellness Taster is a collection of local wellness businesses who are there to answer all your questions about your journey to wellbeing. Dip your toe in with mini, hands-on workshops called "Taster's," or join the VIP experience if you would rather dive right in!
​
You’ve probably hit the ceiling of what Western medicine can do for your wellbeing.
​
We created the Holistic Wellness Taster to guide you beyond those limits, showing you how complementary alternative medicine (CAM) can fill the gaps and take you further on your journey to true health.
Your Health, Your Choice
The Holistic Wellness Taster Expo took center stage twice in 2024, first on 6-7 April and then on 2-3 November, both held at The Abbey in Nicholls, North Canberra. These vibrant gatherings brought together wellness enthusiasts, local businesses, and alternative therapy practitioners, all united by a shared passion for holistic health.
​
Curated by Melissa Ohana, each weekend embodied her unwavering dedication to empowering individuals through holistic wellness. These events created welcoming spaces for connection, learning, and healing, offering attendees transformative experiences designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit.
​
Attendees were invited to step into a world of complementary therapies, explore new wellness practices, and take part in hands-on “Taster” workshops designed to spark curiosity and encourage self-discovery. Whether the goal was to reduce stress, boost health, or simply reconnect with oneself, the expo provided a welcoming haven to nurture the mind, body, and spirit.
From the bustling expo floor filled with expert exhibitors and wellness products to immersive VIP experiences, every aspect of the event was crafted to inspire and uplift. Guests had the freedom to browse at their own pace or dive deeper into the full-sensory VIP sessions, which offered transformative opportunities for personal growth and meaningful connection.
With every detail thoughtfully planned, the Holistic Wellness Taster Expo left attendees feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to embrace a more balanced, vibrant approach to life.
