About Body & Mind
Mental Health and Wellness
Know you’re not alone
Changing the lives of thousands of Australians
Since 2019, our mental health and wellness programs have changed the lives of more than 9,000 Australians otherwise struggling with conditions like PTSD, depression, anxiety, sleep, anger issues, addiction and relationship troubles.
Programs that truly make a difference
We know that downloading an app (you’ll probably never use) won’t create the kind of changes that matter. That’s why our focus has always been on the multiple benefits that come from combining evidence-based mindfulness practices with ongoing psychological support.
More than 35 years experience
All our programs include either telehealth or onsite access to our experienced and caring registered psychologists, as well as daily access to mindfulness practices like yoga, meditation, breathing exercises and more. With more than 100 years of combined experience and a team of more than 50 practitioners, we’re also one of the largest providers in the country.
Leading the way with industry-first partnerships
In 2022, we partnered with the leading mental wellness brand and #1 app for sleep, meditation and relaxation, Calm. Designed to help users manage stress, sleep better and live a happier, healthier life, clients from all our programs now have access to hundreds of hours of original audio content available in seven languages through the Calm app — an Australian industry first!

Inspired to make a difference, Jane finished her Psychology qualifications and founded Body & Mind in 2019 and created our Veteran’s program.
