Event Overview
Come along to our 2nd annual Barefoot Wellness Summit to hear from leading health professionals as they discuss practical ways you can take care of your mind, body and gut.
This is a celebration of what we believe to be the best type of Health and Wellness: inclusive, informed and up to date. All presented in a friendly half day seminar format at the Queensland Tennis Centre in Tennyson.
There will be 3 presentations:
- Kate Pollard (Dietitian): Creating a Great Relationship with Food
- Sal Oliver Lange (Physiotherapist): Accumulative Strain and Building Resilience
- Wade Jacklin (Psychologist): Implementing Change
We will have our very own Olympian MC (Caitlin Sargent) keeping us running to schedule (get it… running) and sharing her story, a practical self-releases session with the Barefoot Physiotherapy team as well as morning tea, lunch, nibbles all provided.
Whether you are beginning your wellness journey, right in the thick of it or simply wanting to learn more this event is for you. Come along to join like-minded individuals transforming their lives . . . one step at a time!

Why would you want to go to a Barefoot Wellness Summit?
Is it worth giving up half your Saturday for?
Well if you’ve ever felt confused by where you need to start with your health.
Or you’re overwhelmed by all the information out there on what to eat, what not to eat, how to move, how not to move, how to meditate (it’s hard to stick to right!) and just have that sense of ‘it’s all too much’ well we’re simplifying it for you.
We’ll be talking inspiring big concepts as well as tangible takeaways. Things you can do immediately for your mind, your nutrition and your body. You’re also going to feel clear about where you can turn for help if you need it.
Pretty flat strap at the moment?!
Don’t think you have the time?
Maybe you’re right… but let’s make it happen!
We’ve thought of everything!
The day kicks off at a leisurely 9am and finishes at 2.30pm.
Morning tea and are lunch provided! And you get a goody bag!!!
So you can fill up your Friday and Saturday nights with fun or a relaxed night in and we’ll be there to give you the stories in between.
We love meeting new people and we love bringing amazing people together.
If it feels a bit out of your comfort zone I implore you to take the leap, lean in to the discomfort and if in doubt: bring a friend!
I look forward to giving you a big hug!
