MENTAL WELLNESS
SOUL ALIVE
With meditation apps gaining popularity, this app puts a spin on the standard preloaded flows you’ll find on most offerings. Founded by former
Bachelorette contestant Luke McLeod, Soul Alive brings the connection and community you’ll find at a local yoga studio into the palm of your hands. With live-streamed weekly classes guided by Luke, Eliza or Arjanna, the app allows you to meditate and interact with your teacher and other members. If you prefer a solo flow, there’s also a content library to access at any time. soulalive.com.au
FLOURISH FULFILLED
Specifically designed for women, Flourish & Fulfilled by fitness guru Sophie Guidolin provides users with tools to improve their mental wellbeing. The app is somewhat of a mental health starter pack and includes guided breathwork, meditations, journalling, daily affirmations, a dream journal, intention setting, conversation starters and a moon calendar. It also has a checklist and diary to keep you accountable. You can purchase the app for $4.99 monthly, with a 14-day free trial. flourishandfulfilled.com.au
