about welfy
Welfy exists because of a seed of an idea discussed over a kitchen table. It started with a question…
What if prioritising your energy and wellbeing was always first on the list, rather than last?
What would life look like?
After experiencing a physical and mental burnout at the age of 38, Vanessa became obsessed with answering this question. Climbing the ladder, fighting for the promotion, exceeding those KPIs. None of it had been worthwhile.
It had left her empty, depressed and with a serious autoimmune condition that rendered her rattling with drugs, unable to walk, drive or feed her baby. The model of relentless achievement was not the one for her.
So she walked out on her board level role and 20 year career in marketing and put all of her energy into getting drug free and in remission, retrained as a Coach, and Welfy was born.

Rachel Cox, Delta Capita
Well you did it again! Another great session I just wanted to say a huge thanks, the energy and focus you bring to all the sessions is just great. Yesterday there was so much energy and passion from our leaders that it was at times hard to bring topics to a conclusion, however you managed it in a thoughtful, productive and professional way. Really look forward to launching the outputs and to our continued partnership! Inspiring, insightful and pragmatic tools to aid wellbeing in the workplace – highly recommend!

Jo Sinisgalli, Mars
Welfy have fantastic facilitators. Their previous industry experience means they understand the challenges we face as a team and tailor the content to be super relevant. The session was packed with insight with lots of actionable tips that we could implement immediately. Another extremely valuable session that was well worth taking the time out of our day to day for.”
