The first Bloom Event was held in October 2012 at the Shangri La Hotel, Cairns. The concept of Bloom came about when it was recognised that more information is needed in the area of preventative health. Much focus today is on raising awareness and early diagnosis whereas there are simple steps we can take to help prevent disease in the first place, and support the body’s natural healing process. Through delivering professional events such as Bloom we can share knowledge, educate ourselves, support each other and inspire vibrant, healthy living within our community. The day provides a wonderful opportunity in the beautiful tropical surrounds of the Cairns Colonial Club to connect and network with people who are keen to improve their health and wellbeing, or for those seeking support on their wellness journey.
I loved the venue! Although we were inside all day (as an exhibitor), the outside was visible. It was a huge success and the buzz experienced by all was quite electric, inspiring and most definitely "feel good!” Amanda Lee, Natural Grow “Just a quick email to thank you again for fitting our little display at your event. Glad we exhibited! Well done again and congratulations on running such a successful event.” Jaypee Abraham, General Manager, Jimalie “I had fun at the Expo and it was a great chance to network with likeminded business people!” Sacha Maujean, Founder, My Gypsy Child
“The exhibition was great. Loads of great information and the thing that stood out for me was the number of people that stayed for a long period of time. They just didn't come in and do a walk through. They came through the hall then went to a lecture and came back into the hall again and repeated this several times. We had loads of interest and hopefully we get a couple of new members from the wonderful people we met.” Pauline Gleeson, Managing Director, Viva Fitness “I have nothing but praise for the enormous effort youmade to bring the bloom expo together well done! I was really impressed with the amount of effort and content that went into the displays by the exhibitors. The training school had a very successful day we had 35 course packs that we handed out with the potential to generate 35 new students for 2014!“ Karen Huggett , Business Manager, At Ease Natural Therapies
“I loved the layout of the stalls, the thought and attention to details, the love and the absolute care to all stall holders.”
“Thankyou for including us in your Bloom expo , we found it to be a good networking opportunity to re establish our brand and create awareness of the future building of the Wellness centre. I was pleased that many of the stall holders were keen to offer their help in some way to COUCH” Pip Woodward, Secretary, Cairns COUCH "I would like to congratulate you for a job well done! The professionalism and attention to detail was simply outstanding. The magazine is just so well done. What a beautiful opportunity you presented to all…..thanks so much" Shivany Gonell, Founder, Reclaim Inner Peace
