- Golden Spring Wellbeing, started in 2014 as a hobby business, combining the things which give pleasure and enjoyment. Its grown over the past 7 years to where it is today with fabulous reviews , wonderful “special deals” for all to enjoy and giving a lot of joy and relaxation to those who have experienced it with many returned clients coming again and again.
- We work in a beautiful environment that’s calm & tranquil, it is food for the soul. We play beautiful music or simply listen to nature, the birds singing, the wind chimes and the gentle breezes that can sound like the ocean. Set in a beautiful landscaped garden, the bird life is prolific . Set among dry stone rock walls with the back drop of the Wombat State Forest, its a natural garden retreat with a rustic charm that changes with the seasons.
That’s how life is, much like the seasons, things come and things go, nothing stays the same. Change is a part of life. Change can create stress, nature heals. So indulge in some forest bathing to benefit the mind, body & soul.
