About
thanks for finding your way here
Hello, I'm Josephina
Josephina
I love seeing people thrive and helping them find their way. Sometimes that is quite literally around the Grampians, finding the right walk, the right experience or somewhere wonderful to explore. Other times, often through a simple conversation, it can spark something a little deeper. A different perspective, a new possibility or a reminder that we often have more agency over the direction of our lives than we realise.
My coffee window at Lakeside has become one of my favourite places for exactly that. People stop for a coffee, we talk about what they are doing that day, where they have come from, what they are looking for, or sometimes what is happening in their world. Some conversations are practical, some are funny, some are fleeting and some wander somewhere completely unexpected. I love that.
"Life is a Treasure Hunt, and the Treasure is You."
I have always been fascinated by people and their stories.
I originally trained in Social Work and later Human Resources, and people have remained at the heart of almost everything I have done since.
In 2012, my husband Rohan and I took over Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park, and in 2019 Grampians Getaway became part of our story too.
Living and working in the Grampians has shaped me enormously. It has taught me about hospitality, resilience, community, leadership and the importance of place. It has also shown me how powerful it can be when people feel connected, supported and able to see possibility again.
About Me
My Journey and exploration
Wellbeing
I have increasingly been invited to contribute beyond our own businesses, speaking on panels and in advocacy projects around post-traumatic growth, regional resilience and what helps small communities thrive. I am also often asked to be a sounding board, which probably suits me well. I enjoy listening, asking questions, connecting ideas and helping people see another way forward.
Alongside that, my own experiences have led me deeper into wellbeing.
I have continued to study and explore Reiki, yoga, wellness coaching, yoga nidra, nervous system regulation and, more recently, breathwork with a focus on the transition we call (peri) menopause. I still suffer imposter syndrome, as I haven’t stepped into facilitating.
I don't believe there is one perfect formula for wellbeing, and I certainly don't think the same things work for everyone. Life keeps changing and we cannot control everything that happens around us, but we can influence how we respond. I am endlessly curious about what helps us build resilience, become more flexible in the face of stress and strengthen our capacity to adapt and flourish.
I am still learning, and I hope I always will be.
