A beauty guru takes on the health market

Oz Beauty Expert’s Bonnie Gillies has branched out from the beauty world, taking on the health market with a series of wellbeing workshops. Held at Centennial Health Club, the workshops include a 40-minute fitness class and talks held by a dietician, a fitness expert, followed by Gillies as beauty insider.

The first workshop – titled Beauty from The Inside Out – saw dietitian Kara Landau talk about gut health and Mel Bovill discuss muscle mass. Anna Heinrich, Lisa Hyde, Charlie De Haas, and Wholesome Stef were just some of the influencers in attendance.

Of her new venture Gillies comments: “I wanted to create an event to interact with my audience but also give something great back. I wanted everyone to walk away feeling great and feeling inspired to pay a little more attention to their health and beauty in time for summer.”

She says the workshops go beyond fitspo, and attempt to encourage more of a wellbeing component to modern lifestyles. “I also wanted to create an experience that groups of girlfriends can catch up, socialise and meet new people without a hangover the next day! Don't get me wrong, I love wine! But it's nice to have occasions where we don't need alcohol and you walk away feeling amazing.”

Gillies says off the back of the success of the Beauty from The Inside Out event, the workshops will continue. The next – titled New Year, New You – is set to launch in January.
