Hi, we're Julie and NathanHere to show you that healthy doesn’t have to be hard.
We’re the founders of Recovery Base, a space built from our own journey with health, training, and recovery.
Born and raised in the Illawarra, we wanted to create something that felt local, real, and inclusive — a calm sanctuary where every body can feel supported to restore, recharge, and reconnect.
OUR STORYOur Health & Wellness Journey Began...
Like many families, life for us has always been full — juggling work, kids, and finding time to move, rest, and look after ourselves. Over the years, we realised something was missing: a space that made recovery easy, accessible, and part of everyday life.
For me (Julie), health and wellbeing have always been a passion. From the gym to self-care, I’ve seen how simple recovery practices can completely change how we feel in our bodies and minds.
For Nathan, recovery is deeply personal. After years of back issues, surgeries, and chronic pain, he saw first-hand how hard it can be to find the right support. That experience planted the seed for Recovery Base — a place where recovery isn’t just for athletes, but for anyone who wants to live with less pain and more energy.
What we’re building is more than a business. It’s a community space where people come together to slow down, feel better, and take care of themselves in ways that fit everyday life.

How it Works at Recovery Base
-
Choose How You’d Like to Recover
Prefer a little solitude? Go private. Feeling social? Try our communal space. From saunas to ice baths and floats, every option supports you in finding your own rhythm of rest and recovery.
-
Step Inside and Slow Down
Take your shoes and socks off — literally. This is your cue to leave the outside world behind. From the moment you walk in, the pace shifts. The air feels calmer, the space feels grounded, and everything is designed to help your body and mind unwind.
-
Settle In and Breathe
We’ll guide you through what to expect, but there’s no rush, no rules. Just breathe, listen to your body, and let the environment do its work. This is your time — whether that means silence, stillness, or connection.
-
Leave Feeling Lighter
You’ll walk out feeling refreshed, grounded, and a little more connected — to yourself and your body. And the best part? You can keep coming back to this feeling anytime.
