Health & Wellness Inspiring & Advising Workshops & Panels

Positioned in 1913 as Auckland’s most healthy marine suburb and flanked by native bush on three sides, our village has evolved into a true sanctuary for health and vitality. Over the past year alone, our wellness community has grown from 60 to over 80 dedicated businesses, officially cementing Birkenhead as Auckland’s premier health and wellness destination.
Following the success of our debut event, we are thrilled to return with our second annual Wellness & Health Expo, expanding into a full weekend on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th July, with one day dedicated to free family fun activations and one day to inspiring and advising.
INSPIRING AND ADVISING SUNDAY 26 JULY
This year, our focus is entirely proactive, shifting the conversation from mere lifespan (the number of years we live) to healthspan—maximizing the quality, energy, and wellness of those years to secure a more vibrant, high-quality future for you and your family.
To keep the insights vital and engaging, we’ve mixed up our schedule to feature a dynamic blend of solo keynotes and interactive expert panels. The weekend will be opened by our headline keynote speaker, Dr. Ajmol Ali, presenting his essential session:
“Live Better, Not Just Longer: Why Healthspan Matters”
Discover how to anchor your everyday routines around the four ultimate superpowers: Think Well, Eat Well, Move Well, and Sleep Well.
Throughout the day, you will gain direct access to Dr. Ali and an impressive lineup of local specialists who bring over 120 years of collective experience straight to you.
Supporting Our Community: Entry to each session is by a $2 gold coin donation. To support vital well-being initiatives beyond our village, $1 from every single session donation will go directly to the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand.
