Breath Balance Biome: Professional Development Day for Health Professionals

The intention of this day is simple: to remind us to take time for ourselves — to pause, reset, and reconnect with what supports our wellbeing.

The retreat is designed specifically for all health professionals across medical, nursing, and allied health disciplines.  It is being held on Sunday 24 May from 9am–5pm at Kondalilla Falls Eco Resort in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland
