Who supports wellness practitioners? The gap nobody's talking about
While we were building the tech, we came across something further down our roadmap. A community of practitioners and seekers who've started finding each other and us - and saying: finally. This is the Plaece I've been looking for.
Here’s why we’re rebuilding Plaece
We made a deliberate call.
Go back to the people, before the next line of code and before the next feature spec.
We shut down Plaece 1.0 to start again.
Here are our lessons from building a tech startup, winding down the first platform and what we plan to do next.
The feast-or-famine cycle is not a mindset problem. It’s a systems problem.
Over the past four months, I have met with practitioners across Melbourne, including breathwork facilitators, sound healers, energy workers, and mental health advocates. Each is engaged in essential, often unrecognised work.
Our focus was not on selling, but on listening.
In every conversation, regardless of experience or schedule, the same theme emerged: the work is sustainable, but the business is not.
Why community matters when you're building a wellness practice
Building a wellness practice can feel isolating, even with a business partner. At Plaece, we’ve explored why community is essential for wellness practitioners and how shared experience supports both personal wellbeing and business growth.
How can wellness and holistic coaches simplify client programs? A breathwork coach’s solution
I'm a Breathwork Coach. And I built a platform and app because I had to. You can now use it too.
I did it so wellness and holistic coaches can consolidate their tools and serve more clients with one platform, and focus on what they want to do - help, support and guide more people.
