A full-day, trauma-informed workshop to help high-achieving women build mental fitness, regulate stress, and lead with clarity and resilience.

About the Workshop

Wellness Wings® is a full-day, trauma-informed mental fitness workshop designed for women in business and leadership. Adapted from the RACGP-accredited program originally created for healthcare professionals, this experience offers tools and strategies to help high-achieving women manage stress, build resilience, and lead with clarity and compassion.

Led by Marie Bernardo, an ICF-accredited coach and certified trauma-informed meditation teacher, the workshop blends evidence-based frameworks with somatic and mindset practices, all tailored to support sustainable well-being and performance.

Why This Matters

Women are twice as likely to experience psychological distress, often while juggling high expectations, emotional labour, and professional responsibilities, silently.

The impact isn’t just personal. It’s organisational. Mental health challenges in leadership cost Australian workplaces an estimated $2.49 million per 100 employees each year through burnout, absenteeism, and lost productivity.

The cost of doing nothing is high.

Wellness Wings® Is an Investment In:

✅ Sustainable performance and emotional clarity
✅ Practical tools for stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
✅ Psychological flexibility and nervous system regulation
✅ Reducing the invisible load women carry every day

Whether you're leading teams, running a business, or stretched thin, this workshop gives back far more than it takes.
