My first sound bath meditation- relaxing and beautiful! Definitely recommend- Mel and Darwin guided us through expertly and the space was stunning! They also had spare blankets and pillows for anyone that forgot- like me! ❤️

I had been going to a chiropractor for over a year with no progression. I stumbled across spinal flow and have been working with Mel. The sessions are therapeutic, interesting, insightful, personal and transformative. Spinal flow has helped release so many blockages in my body and support nervous system recovery. Mel is such an intuitive healer and has beautiful energy. I have also attend yoga sessions as well. Such a welcoming space, show up just as you are, everyone is welcome. So grateful to have found Elemental Wellbeing

This place is IT!!! You get yoga, Pilates, sound baths - all the things I love - in the one place with dedicated teachers and great timetable choices. I also do strength training here with Darwin who knows exactly what I need to do to build muscle strength and bone density. A nice intimate setting so it feels like a healing space come fitness studio. They've merged it really well. I feel blessed this spot exists and is literally walking distance from my home. Best place in Darwin for sure. They've got the fitness and wellbeing model down!! Namaste !!!

Mel is amazing! She has just the right way of speaking, gentle and understanding. My Spinal Flow sessions are definitely needed, and I'm feeling the difference all over, physically and mentally/emotionally. The studio feels peaceful and relaxing as soon as you walk in, like an escape from life. ❤️❤️

I cannot recommend Melissa enough. She has helped me to release more grief and allowed tears to flow which was so urgently needed and held onto for far too long. Melissa is gentle, kind and compassionate and helped me to feel relaxed at my first appt. Please do yourself the favour and self nurturing and book an appointment 🙏🏼🩷
