As 2024 draws to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what has been an incredible year of growth, transformation, and connection here at Coastal Goddess. This year has been nothing short of amazing, and I’m so grateful to all of you—our wonderful community—for being part of this journey.
The Big Changes of 2024
This year, Coastal Goddess reached some significant milestones, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together.
The Launch of The M Clinic
One of the most exciting moments of 2024 was the opening of The M Clinic, a dedicated space for perimenopause and menopause care. This project was born from countless conversations with women who felt unsupported during this transformative stage of life. With The M Clinic, we can now offer comprehensive support, from hormonal therapies to non-hormonal treatments, empowering women to take control of their health and wellbeing.
In October, I had the privilege of attending the 19th World Congress on Menopause in Melbourne, an event that brought together global experts to share the latest research and advancements in menopause care. This experience was profoundly formative for the launch of The M Clinic, as it reinforced the importance of personalised, evidence-based approaches to managing perimenopause and menopause.
The knowledge gained from the congress has shaped our treatments and services, ensuring that The M Clinic offers the most comprehensive and effective care for women navigating this transformative stage of life.
Expanding the Coastal Goddess Community
This year, our Coastal Goddess Sisterhood Events have been a highlight, bringing together women to celebrate empowerment, connection, and self-care.
We kicked off in February with the exciting launch of The Secret Skincare, introducing this incredible range to our community with an intimate, premium event. In May, we hosted our much-loved Mother’s Day celebration, where we pampered and honoured the incredible mothers in our community.
In August, we welcomed the inspiring Danielle Drew for a thought-provoking Powerful Poses presentation, focusing on body confidence and inner strength. Finally, to celebrate our third birthday, we gathered in October for a rejuvenating yoga session at Phoenix Pilates, guided by Liz Chamas, where we reflected on three amazing years of growth and connection.
The cherry on top had to be our Annual Coastal Goddess Lunch, an incredible event at Drifters Wharf that brought together our community to celebrate strength and resilience. It was a privilege to hear heartfelt presentations from our Clinic Manager, Samantha, as well as fellow cervical cancer survivor, Heather Hawkins.
Their inspiring stories of perseverance and empowerment left a lasting impression on everyone in the room. Through this event, we were able to raise $21,240 for WomenCan and over the past three years, we’ve been able to donate $65,000 to this amazing organisation. This is something I’m so proud of and we have big plans for our event in 2025.
Events like these remind me of the power of connection and the importance of sharing our journeys. These events have been a testament to the power of women coming together, and we can’t wait to create even more memorable moments with our Sisterhood in the year ahead.
New Treatments and Innovations
In 2024, we introduced some incredible advancements to our clinic that have truly transformed the way we approach skincare and aesthetics. Among these is the Rejuran Under Eye Therapy, an innovative treatment designed to restore brightness and elasticity to tired eyes, leaving patients looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
Alongside this, we proudly launched our state-of-the-art DPL Protégé IPL Machine, a game-changing technology for addressing skin concerns such as pigmentation, redness, fine lines, and broken capillaries. IPL provides non-invasive skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime, helping our patients achieve smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin.
In addition to these cutting-edge treatments, we’ve introduced a range of carefully curated packages to meet the unique needs of our diverse clientele. The first was our Scar Therapy Package, designed to reduce the appearance of scars and support the skin’s natural healing process. Another exciting addition is our Bridal Package, a six-month subscription of tailored treatments aimed at ensuring brides-to-be feel radiant and confident on their big day.
These new offerings reflect our unwavering commitment to personalised care and delivering exceptional results. Whether you’re looking to address specific concerns, enhance your natural beauty, or prepare for a special moment, these innovations and packages are here to help you achieve your goals with confidence and ease.
A huge year of personal growth for all of us
This year has been one of immense personal growth for the entire Coastal Goddess team, as we’ve faced challenges, experienced grief and loss, celebrated milestones, and supported each other every step of the way. Our incredible Clinic Manager, Sam, underwent a hysterectomy after her cervical cancer diagnosis and has been an inspiration with her resilience and grace. Emily began a beautiful new chapter in life with her wedding, while I faced and triumphed over major back surgery.
A standout moment for me personally was stepping out of my comfort zone to participate in the Cancer Council’s Stars of the Central Coast. With the guidance and encouragement of the lovely Lauren Miller, I worked hard to perfect my routine, overcoming my fear of the stage to perform in front of an audience filled with my amazing supporters. The event, coupled with a special Dirty Dancing movie screening fundraiser, helped raise close to $16,000 for the Cancer Council, a cause so close to my heart having survived cervical cancer myself.
We’ve also welcomed new faces, like the wonderful Leanne, whose warmth and expertise have been a joy to have on our team. Additionally, Yvette’s gentle touch and expertise in relaxation and pregnancy massage have brought a new level of care and comfort to our patients, especially those seeking rejuvenation during life’s most precious moments.
Together, we’ve navigated life’s ups and downs, celebrated achievements, and leaned on each other during challenges. It’s been a year that reminded us of the power of community, resilience, and the importance of lifting each other up.
My Hopes for 2025
Looking ahead, my vision for 2025 is to continue empowering women to embrace their beauty, strength, and confidence at every stage of life.
We’ll be bringing you more cutting-edge treatments, expanding our educational initiatives, and deepening our personalised approach to care. Whether through The M Clinic, our facial aesthetics services, or wellness treatments, my goal is to ensure that every woman who walks through our doors feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
A Heartfelt Thank You
To our Coastal Goddess family—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your trust, loyalty, and openness inspire everything we do. You’ve shared your stories, trusted us with your care, and helped us grow into the thriving community we are today.
As we prepare to ring in the new year, I want to extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a joyful and healthy 2025. Let’s continue this journey together, embracing change, celebrating our successes, and facing new challenges with confidence and grace.
Here’s to a beautiful year ahead!
With gratitude and excitement,
Dr Kelly Needham
Founder, Coastal Goddess and The M Clinic
