This Australian-First Wellness Event Is Back With Exclusive Elements By Goop
Peak wellness
What happens when you mix one of Australia’s most luxurious medispas with one of the most famous wellness brands in the world? An Australian-first, health and wellness experience that will thrill attendees.
Held over four days at two of Queensland’s most premium destinations – The Calile Hotel and The Star Brisbane – renowned medispa and wellness brand KAILO is teaming up with Gwyneth Paltrow’s goop to deliver an unprecedented wellness experience right here in Brisbane. Following the groundbreaking success of the KAILO Wellness Summit in 2022, the 2025 KAILO Summit is set to be a celebration of health, spirituality, and personal growth, with curated elements by goop.
Kicking off on 1 May, 2025 at the Star Brisbane, the KAILO Summit commences with a dynamic lineup of national and global experts diving into a broad range of hot topics like sexual health, human connection, and diversity. Attendees can expect a goop-curated goodie bag valued at more than $500 each, including a handful of goop-endorsed products. If that’s (somehow) not enough to entice you, there’s more: on 2 May, the festivities continue at the Live Boldly Brunch at The Calile Hotel, which will feature a delicious menu curated by goop and hosted by the inspiring Sarah Grynberg – mindset coach, author, and host of A Life Of Greatness podcast. Following this is a live event by David The Medium, before the summit wraps up with the two-day Rest & Reset Retreat at The Calile Hotel, offering a range of programs and sessions designed to recharge your health and wellbeing.
For Senior Editor at goop, Kelly Martin, the collaboration was a perfect alignment. “Connection, curiosity, and the pursuit of wellbeing are all such a deep part of goop’s DNA, and KAILO’s too,” she says. “I’m so ready for the insights that come out of the experts and thought leaders on the panel we’ve curated for the event.”
KAILO Founders Kath Merlo and Kristy Morris
How did the partnership between goop and Kailo Summit come about?
Kath and I always had a vision to become the goop of Australia and were very grateful when a dear friend of ours put our brand forward to them for consideration. We want to create world-class events bringing the latest through education on all things wellness and living a healthy, fulfilled, long life. Whilst I was on a work trip in NYC, I had the opportunity to meet with goop in person to discuss our KAILO Nutrition products and thought ‘Why not speak about our whole brand and vision?’. I presented the KAILO Summit concept and asked if goop would be interested in getting involved and I was surprised and thrilled when the answer was a big yes! – Kristy Morris, CEO and co-founder of Kailo Wellness Medispa
How does goop’s wellness philosophy align with Kailo Summit’s vision and objectives?
We have always been inspired by goop’s vision. What goop has helped to do is bring to the mainstream topics that were previously taboo. Whether that’s menopause, sexual health, or managing our most important relationships, there is nothing that goop will not discuss. This is why we launched the KAILO Summit. We wanted to create an event that encourages difficult conversations and also showcases areas of health and wellness that are not necessarily mainstream. Take stem cell therapy or human connection – they aren’t things we read about every day, but we have two of the world’s leaders in these topics speaking at the Summit. It’s exciting! – Kath Merlo, Co-founder of Kailo Wellness Medispa
How do you envision this collaboration impacting the wellness community in Brisbane?
Like goop, we hope to inspire people to ask the hard questions, take better control of their health, and educate themselves. We have a very engaged and passionate audience here in Brisbane and from across Australia that have a huge appetite for learning how they can live better lives. We hope that the topics and the events we are running will inspire our community and lead to positive outcomes – Kath Merlo, Co-founder of Kailo Wellness Medispa
KAILO Wellness Summit 2022
With a stacked panel of industry leaders and an exciting lineup of events, the 2025 KAILO Summit is set to be unmissable. Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect:
David The Medium
Psychic Clairvoyant and Spiritual Medium
David The Medium
As a medium, I have the ability to communicate with our loved ones who have crossed over and pass on messages of proof, support, validation and clarity from the Afterlife. Being a psychic means I have the ability to foresee and predict future timelines and events. Attendees will be able to witness first-hand the connection with Spirit and the Afterlife as I conduct readings and pass on messages to members of the audience at random.

Dr Sarah Jane
Award-winning Chiropractor and Counsellor
Creator of healing modality, Spinal Energetics
Dr Sarah Jane
I’m excited to dive into the interconnectedness of body, mind, and energy. My main talking points will focus on how we can better understand the innate intelligence within ourselves and how our physical and emotional bodies are linked. Our bodies hold onto experiences, emotions, and memories, so when we address one layer – be it physical or emotional – we often unlock the other. The mind and body connection can be incredibly powerful.

Chantelle Otten
Psycho-Sexologist and Relationship Expert
Chantelle Otten
My focus will be on all the fun things – sex, enhancing sexual health, and building stronger relationships. I’ll be diving into how self-esteem and confidence play a huge role in our sexual experiences and how we connect with others. Communication is also a big one; it’s the foundation of intimacy. I’ll be sharing tips on how to talk openly about desires, boundaries, and everything in between.
