Vitality Works
As an inquisitive and inquiring team of Health Professionals we were continually seeing patients stuck in the same negative health patterns and behaviours that disempowered them draining them of joy and vitality. In coming together, we wanted to create a health movement that utilised our collective experience to change the established dialogue.
At Vitality Works we have created empowering, empathic and sustainable health and well-being programmes that draw on years of our professional experience but more importantly our personal journeys and self-development ( see our 3 core beliefs).
The way we EAT.MOVE.BREATHE.LOVE, The 4 Principles is the foundation for all our work.
Our programmes focus on personal empowerment, strengthening and self-development in a direction that leads to positive sustainable change. We have identified the mechanisms for change with our Resilience Programme and are continually evolving and developing our work to ensure that we are best placed to deliver this learning.
About us
We are a team of health professionals who have always questioned the limits and boundaries of our professional learning. Collectively we have 50 years of experience and personal development and use this knowledge to expand and encourage one another to look beyond and continue to evolve.

Our 3 core beliefs
We have three beliefs that are at the heart of everything we do.
Understanding and using the four principles is the foundation of resilient health and wellbeing.
We believe that the four principles – eat, move, breathe, love - are the foundation of health and wellbeing. With knowledge of the four principles, we can understand how our patterns of behaviour affect our health. We can then start on our journey to better health and wellbeing, gaining knowledge and skills to live life through the four principles.
Empowering people to be curious about their health creates the potential for transformative change.
We don’t need to be defined by our current stories, a medical diagnosis or symptoms. Behind all our health experiences are stories that need to be explored and worked with to improve and sustain our health and wellbeing. When we’re curious about our health, we can become conscious of our behaviour and have the courage to make change.
Through daily practices that create joy we can all make lasting change.
We believe that establishing practices that become habits and give us joy leads to lasting change. When practices bring us joy, we can maintain what we need to do, every day, to follow our path to greater health, wellbeing and vitality.
