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.
You don’t need to build your own app. Why vibe-coding isn’t the answer.
DIY and AI app builders promise simplicity but often burden wellness practitioners with tech complexity, poor integrations, and concerns around client experience and data security. Plaece is purpose-built for coaches and holistic practitioners by a trauma-informed breathwork coach to centre human connection, coaching, and community.
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.
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.
