For over two decades, Meaghan South has helped shape Australia's luxury medispa and wellness industry as a founder, operator and trusted advisor. Now she brings that depth of experience in two distinct ways: guiding medispa and wellness businesses to realise their full potential, and supporting women to reclaim their energy, vitality and health for life.

Meet Meaghan

Meaghan's influence on Australia's luxury medispa landscape is widely recognised. Since 1998, when she opened The Dome Retreat at the Brisbane Marriott Hotel, she has established, owned and sold award-winning medispas, and has advised on the creation of some of the country's most respected wellness destinations. Her work is characterised by an unwavering commitment to ensuring profitability through exceptional guest experiences, clinically-grounded treatments and the kind of culture that builds lasting loyalty.

Meaghan's personal journey deepened this expertise in an unexpected way. After selling KAILO Wellness Medispa, she navigated an early menopause, adrenal burnout and complex health challenges - and found her way back to health through integrative nutrition, evidence-based gut-health protocols and the guidance of leading practitioners. That experience became the foundation for her coaching work: helping women 40+ reset their health, restore their vitality and sustain it for life.

Today, Meaghan moves fluidly across both worlds - bringing commercial sharpness and genuine warmth to every client engagement, whether a world-class wellness venue or an individual woman ready to reclaim her best self.

Personalised Health Coaching for Women

Practical Wisdom for Vitality

Meaghan knows firsthand that feeling tired, flat and not quite yourself doesn't have to be the story of midlife. Informed by her studies in Integrative Nutrition Coaching and her close collaboration with one of Australia's leading Nutritional Medicine doctors, she has developed a suite of programs that help women reset their gut health, rebalance their hormones, lose stubborn weight and rebuild sustainable, lasting vitality.

Her approach is firmly rooted in evidence - addressing the underlying drivers of inflammation, gut health and metabolism - and delivered with the warmth and accountability of a knowledgeable friend who won't let you settle for less than your best.

Her programs support high-performing women experiencing:

  • Fatigue, poor sleep and low energy
  • Stubborn weight that won’t shift
  • Bloating, digestive discomfort or food sensitivities
  • Brain fog, poor memory and difficulty concentrating
  • Cravings, blood sugar swings and mood changes
  • Perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms
  • A general sense of not feeling like yourself

Whether you’re at the beginning of your health journey or ready to go deeper, Meaghan will meet you where you are and support you to feel your best again.

Lifelong Vitality – Personal One-to-One Program

The Lifelong Vitality program provides deep, individualised support. Working directly with Meaghan in close collaboration with an integrative nutritional medicine doctor, this program is built around your unique health history, symptoms and goals. Using medically-based protocols, lifestyle support and personal accountability we address the underlying drivers of inflammation, gut health, hormones and metabolism. Meaghan’s clients consistently report improved energy, a centred calm, restorative sleep, meaningful weight loss and lasting gut health. This is not a quick fix – it is a thorough, effective reset that sets you up for life.

“Feeling tired, foggy or not yourself is not normal ageing – it is a signal. My programs give you the tools, the knowledge and the support to respond and reset for life.” Meaghan South

Meaghan works with a select number of clients each year. If you're ready to reset your health to look and feel your best again for life, she'd love to hear from you.

Corporate Wellness Programs

Leading with Vitality

High-performing organisations know that their most important asset is their people - and that sustained performance depends on genuine wellbeing. Meaghan's corporate programs bring the same evidence-based approach she delivers to individual clients into the workplace, with a particular focus on the unique health challenges facing women in leadership. 

The business case is clear: the average age of menopause in Australia is 51, and perimenopause typically begins 4 to 10 years earlier, which is a decade that maps directly onto senior management and executive promotion years. 83% of women going through this transition feel unsupported at work, and 1 in 4 have considered stepping back from a leadership opportunity as a result. The cost to Australian employers is estimated at $17 billion per year in lost earnings and productivity. 

Women are juggling more then ever as they peform at leadership and exectutive levels in businesses. They are often managing busy families and homes, supporting their partners careers, have ageing parents and their own health challenges. Women need to take care of themselves differently so they have the resilance to juggle life and the centred calm and brain focus to lead at work.

Working with leadership groups and individual executives, Meaghan designs and delivers practical and personalised programs that improve energy, focus, resilience and long-term measurable health outcomes for the women who are driving your business forward.

Corporate programs include:

  • Lunch and learn sessions on gut health, energy, hormones and longevity nutrition
  • 8-week online group coaching programs for women in leadership and high-performance roles
  • Executive one-to-one health coaching and personalised nutrition planning
  • Menopause in the workplace - awareness programs for teams and HR
  • Workplace wellbeing strategy and advisory for people and culture teams

Investing in your team's health pays dividends in retention, productivity and culture. If you're ready to bring genuine wellness expertise into your organisation for your high performing women, Meaghan would love to talk.

Organisational outcomes can include:

  • Improved retention of senior women at 12 and 24 months
  • Reduced presenteeism, decision fatigue and unplanned absence
  • Stronger promotion and lateral-move rates among participants
  • Measurable employer brand advantage with senior women in the talent market

Meaghan works with a select number of businesses each year supporting their women in leadership so they have the energy and resilance to enjoy a long and rewarding career. If you are committed to your senior women, Meaghan would love to hear from you.
