Our Story

Our story

Shala Wellness is the manifestation of Laura & Shannon. Laura, brings knowledge and experience as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, while Shannon, offers traditional teachings as a Sattva yoga teacher and sound healing facilitator. Together, we felt the calling to come together and combine our complementary skill sets under the one roof. 

Both originally residing from Sydney, we made the move to the Coffs Coast to better align our lifestyle and values with our surroundings. It is important to us to raise our young families close to mother nature and in a community full of culture and connection. Once here, we struggled to find a place of practice that fully embraced our whole-body approach to health and spiritual wellbeing. 

We both share a vision for creating a home for holistic health and wellness, traditional practices and sacred teachings. Shala aims to fill a gap by offering these practices to the wider community. We want you to experience the change and transformation these practices have to offer, to support you during all phases of life. We also aspire to provide a creative home where our community can gather to freely express themselves through movement, mindfulness and conscious events. 

Profound thought and intention has gone into creating our Shala, with a strong focus on inducing feelings of warmth and comfort. Our Yoga Studio has been mindfully conceived to ignite creativity and passion, while also embodying calm and inner connection. Our Wellness Clinic has been lovingly designed to help you feel safe, nurtured and deeply restored, allowing you to unfold and completely surrender within our treatment spaces. 

Our Shala door is open to those from all walks of life. We embrace diversity and encourage openness. Please get in touch if you feel called to connect with Shala Wellness through our yogic teachings, treatment offerings or space hire facilities. 

We hope you enjoy what we have to offer you on your healing journey.
