About

Mata Wellbeing is a holistic skin and wellness space that combines the wisdom of naturopathy and evidence based practice for an inside-out and outside-in approach to skin health and overall wellbeing.

We were established to empower and promote the circle of wellbeing through bespoke and transformative therapies; restoring the health of not only your skin but overall wellbeing, from the inside-out as well as outside-in.

We utilise evidence-based skincare and treatment modalities to optimise your skin health while respecting your skin barrier. With Naturopathy at our core, we prioritise patient care, offering support on your health journey through diet, lifestyle, herbal medicine and nutrition; or guiding you through a transformative skin experience to rejuvenate mind, body, and soul.

Our gut, mind and skin are the first parts of our body to show signs of extreme fatigue, burnout and self-neglect. They’re all intrinsically interconnected.

This is where I come in! Hi There! Im Eleni. Holistic Practitioner and Founder at Mata Wellbeing.

I’ve spent over 20 years in the skin and spa industry working in day spas across Melbourne with almost a decade teaching holistic beauty and spa therapy within the TAFE sector.

[While on maternity leave] My love of learning led me to undertaking a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) as I wanted to delve deeper into a truly holistic practice integrating gut health, female reproductive health, stress management and skin.

I also become fascinated with the mind-body connection and how trauma and emotional manifestations can affect our wellbeing so decided to delve deeper into somatic bodywork and in 2023, I became a Certified Neolifting© and Buccal Massage Practitioner trained by internationally recognised experts Uma Ghosh and Tatiana Vorontsova.

My passion for holistic health ignited from a very young age and having my own health issues, where I was constantly faced with being placed on quick fix medications.

I spent many years on what felt like a rollercoaster of dis-ease. At the age of 13 I was put on several courses of antibiotics and the OCP after developing severe acne. Eventually I was placed on isotretinoin, not once, but three times! On my honeymoon, I suddenly lost feeling in my legs. I was later diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

After suffering with my own mental health struggles and feeling tired and defeated, I decided to dive into taking a more holistic approach to my health and found my calling.

My passion lies with helping women from all walks of life, to empower you to become the best version of yourself… for yourself first and foremost.

In wellness always,
