The community + platform for holistic & wellness practitioners and seekers.

Plaece is building the platform for holistic and wellness practitioners to grow a sustainable business and for the people seeking them. So practitioners can focus on the work that matters, and clients can focus on their journey.

A community
that gets it.

Running a wellness practice can feel lonely - even when your calendar is full. That's why we're building more than a platform. We're bringing together coaches, practitioners, and facilitators across Melbourne to connect, share, and support each other.

We’re also connecting people who are curious to learn about wellness or on a personal growth journey.

Drop your details below, and we'll invite you to our next free Melbourne meetup. It’s just good people doing meaningful work or those who are curious about it.

We respect your privacy so will only contact you to provide updates on community, tech and Plaece.

Our Mission.

Helping to make sustainable businesses possible for practitioners, facilitators and coaches.

Too many brilliant practitioners burn out trying to manage the business side of their work. We're here to change that — giving holistic coaches, facilitators, and healers the tools to grow sustainably, without losing the human connection at the heart of their practice.

Help shape what
Plaece becomes.

We're in early development and looking for founding members — forward-thinking wellness professionals who want a seat at the table. You'll have direct input into the platform, early access as we build, and a community of like-minded practitioners growing alongside you.

This is an invitation to build something better, together.

Our Story.

We didn't plan to build this.
Life had other ideas.

After Paul got certified in breathwork, he started building an app for his practice, and then we were in an accident. Ann was the client, and she was overwhelmed bouncing between emails, Google Drive and YouTube.

What we’re building…again.

We realised people didn't need one-off custom apps – they needed a platform that empowers them to expand their reach without technical barriers.

Simple enough to launch in weeks, flexible enough to honour each practice's unique approach.

This time, we’ve got Cam with us who’s helping to grow our community.

Why We're Different

We're not a tech company building for wellness – we're wellness practitioners and people on our own journeys who decided to build the tech we needed. We understand the balance between digital scalability and human connection because we live it.

We build the tech, you create the impact, we all grow in community.

Join Us

We're an Aussie business looking for founding members to shape this journey with us. If you're ready to scale your impact without losing your soul, let's build together.

Our Team.

Our vision is to help people reconnect with their wellbeing by creating technology and community that enable coaches, practitioners, facilitators, and healers to make a greater impact.

We’re your team. Every step of the way.
