Who are we?
ELIA Wellness is a registered not-for-profit health charity (ACNC) and stands for Empowering Innovation Lifestyle Advocates. We partner with expert health professionals to provide evidence-based resources to help manage and prevent disease through whole-person health.
ELIA Wellness was created as 9 out of 10 deaths are due to chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer in Australia and New Zealand.
However, they are mainly preventable through a positive lifestyle.
Research shows that what is good for physical health is also good for emotional health e.g. diet, exercise, sleep and less stress.
Adventist Health launched ELIA Wellness to focus on engaging our communities with a revitalised whole-person health message.
ELIA Wellness created The 7 Dimensions of Wellness which is a modern way for people to easily understand whole-person health.
Our goal is to take people on a wellness journey through the 7 Dimensions of Wellness to improve their health and build a trusted relationship with them.
Emotional Wellness includes our
Live More Project or De-stress and Thrive programs.
Physical Wellness includes our
Enhance Your Gut Health program or
Reduce Your Risk of Cancer plan.
Spiritual Wellness includes our new program
Empowered and Purposeful Living.
ELIA Wellness develops life-transforming products that people can trust.
Everything we create is backed by science and aligned with our health message.
Imagine becoming known as the place to go in your community, for people to improve their wellness.

ELIA Programs.
Let's start with the Emotional Dimension.
The Live More Project is a 10-week program that brings the latest in Neuroscience, Psychology and Lifestyle medicine to improve your emotional wellness.
We now have 10 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles validating its effectiveness to significantly reduce depression, anxiety, and depression by 30-41% and improve flourishing by 17 percentage points compared to a control group.
Now for the Spiritual Dimension.
Empowered & Purposeful Living is an evidence-based program that has seven sessions investigating themes like Gratitude, Values, Emotional Intelligence, Service, Purpose, Meaning and Hope.
The program includes inspiring testimonies from people like Olympic Medalist Nicola McDermott who they show how the themes have impacted their lives. It inspires people towards living an empowered life that includes spirituality.

Meet ELIA Wellness Hub Forrester Beach Adventist Church.
To date, they have run a Health Expo for the community, ran the ELIA De-Stress and Thrive program and have just completed the ELIA Empowered and Purposeful Living program!
“We held our last session last night and finished on a high. The participants gave us some roses and a beautiful thank you card with the wording, “Gratitude turns what we have into enough.”
They called us the Dream-maker Team. One lady said, “I wasn’t sure if it would be worth making the effort to come out every night for seven weeks but I’m very glad I did.”
They are all keen to join the next course that we run. ”
This is one of the many stories of local churches changing people’s lives and impacting the community!
We know there is an epidemic of lifestyle-related diseases in our communities.
