A relaxed 45-minute session for working women in Gippsland

Join Nirelle Bennett, President of Gippsland Women in Business and Coach & Hypnotherapist, for an online Lunch & Learn with special guest Kathy Lummis, physiotherapist and owner of The Essential Armoury and The Hive Holistic Health Centre.

This informal session includes a short, guided hypnotic meditation to help you press pause on the busy energy of the day, followed by practical conversation and simple tools to practical self-care for busy working women – so you can reset in minutes.

It’s a gentle, accessible introduction to holistic wellbeing, designed specifically for working women.

Why we’re starting this series
These Lunch & Learn sessions are new and designed to grow with you. Each month, we’ll create space to pause, become familiar with one another, and explore topics that matter to working women in Gippsland. Wellbeing felt like the perfect place to start.

Facilitated by

• Nirelle Bennett — President of Gippsland Women in Business and owner of Gippsland Hypnotherapy

Together, we’ll facilitate a practical, respectful, and relaxed session, creating a welcoming space where you can engage at your own pace.

Make it a monthly habit
This is the first in a new monthly Lunch & Learn series. Each month, we’ll create space to pause, connect, and explore topics that matter — through stories, practical tips, and shared experiences rather than formal teaching.

If you’ve been craving support, relevant conversations, or a gentler way to take a break during your busy day, this is your invitation to start. Feel free to bring a colleague or friend who could benefit from a relaxed, meaningful lunch break too.
