Inspiring Workshops & Mentoring Experiences
Workshops
Saltwater Sistas is based on the Coffs Coast and offers a range of workshops in wellbeing, marine science, and culture. We can deliver sessions online or may be able to travel to your location. Our workshops and talks explore topics such as marine science, cultural knowledge, leadership, and personal wellbeing—creating supportive spaces to learn, grow, and connect.
Who are our workshops for?
Our workshops are for everyone—individuals, families, youth, men and women, visitors, party groups, schools, and community organisations. Whether you're local or just passing through, we welcome anyone wanting to slow down, reconnect, and experience hands-on healing through culture, creativity, and care. No experience needed—just an open heart and a willingness to show up for yourself.
Mentoring
One-on-one mentoring with Saltwater Sistas is a space to be seen, supported, and guided back to your own power. Whether you're navigating change, seeking clarity, or reconnecting with your purpose, we walk beside you with cultural strength, care, and honesty. This journey is about growth—not fixing. Sessions are tailored to you and can be held on Country, in a calm space, online, or by phone—whatever feels right.
