Sunrise Well
Workplace Wellbeing Consulting, Training, and Coaching
We believe everyone deserves to flourish at work and life. We partner with you to understand your business so that we can offer the best support in mental and physical health and wellbeing for your people..
Backed by science, strengthened by mindfulness, with people at the centre
We work with organisations to support the health and wellbeing of their teams and leaders with a special focus on things like psychological safety, ‘soft skills’ (that are really hard!), mental health, performance, mindfulness, culture, values, emotional intelligence, stress management, burnout, and work life balance.
We provide speaking, training, facilitation, consultation, and coaching to people and businesses, and have worked with the Brisbane community, and across Australia and Oceania, both online and in person.
The main focus for our work is for it to be engaging, empowering, and evidence-based, all within an easy to master, low bar format, that really makes a lasting impact.

"Ruth is a generous and kind mindfulness teacher who is so willing to share her knowledge with others. Ruth developed a podcast for students at the University of Adelaide as part of the Allied Health program. Ruth's ability to really listen to our students' needs and provide something that was meaningful, relevant and personalised was amazing. She brought such energy and professionalism to deliver a high quality product. I highly recommend Ruth if you need anything in this space."

It was packed with tips and tricks to help manage ourselves and develop a tangible selfcare plan, especially in preparation for a particularly busy period of time coming up! Knowing and understanding our stress signals and coping strategies was invaluable, and will help us continue to show up as the person we want to be for those around us."

Sunrise Well was created to Educate, Empower, and Energise people for future-focussed businesses who care about their people’s wellbeing.
We believe in people-first approaches to work and help you to optimise the nature of connection and people performance through strategic consultation and programs that suit your unique people to reach their full potential, through coaching, classes, workshops and programming.
Looking after the health and wellbeing of your people is no longer considered a perk. It is an essential element that sets companies apart, retains staff, reduces, burnout, and increases revenue. By bringing wellbeing to the forefront of your strategy you show your team that you genuinely care, and you are willing to give them the support they need in order to thrive.
Hello, I’m Ruth, the Founder of Sunrise Well.
I believe we are people first, before we are workers, and we all deserve the chance to thrive.
Meet Ruth Kent
PGDipPublicHealth - B.A. (Psych/ArtHist.) - HCANZA-approved Prof. Wellness Coach - Masters Biomedical Meditation Therapy and Allied Health - Advanced YTT.
I believe in the magic of living a life of purpose and energy. I don’t believe we are here to simply work and die, without questioning and looking for more.
We spend an average 90,000 hours at work over our lifetime. It has to be a place where people are supported to thrive.
Not only that, improving the health and wellbeing of the people in a business also makes the business more successful.
I created Sunrise Well because I care about people waking up and living fulfilling lives.
I am an avid learner, a lifelong student, and a studier of people. I love to bring the science and research of public health, psychology and health sociology, and the wellbeing practices of mindfulness, wellness coaching, and yoga together to look at workplace wellbeing from a variety of views.
My qualifications include:
Psychology / Post Graduate Diploma in International Public Health / 500+ hours of yoga teacher training / Level 3 wellness coaching / Master’s in Biomedical Meditation Therapy and Allied Health.
I first learned to meditate at the age of 15, back when meditators were hippies and I only spoke about it behind closed doors. I was inspired to dive in and learn more about my own mind, as well as get a better understanding of others and what makes them tick.
Science now shows that positive wellbeing and good health are more than just the absence of disease. “Wellness” as a concept moves the focus from the negative state of disease, through the middle state of zero, and into the thriving state of wellbeing. Research now shows that it is possible to foster and enhance a true state of wellness through your own practices, choices, actions, and environment.
“Each morning brings you a new chance to live life fully, on your terms, with the most joy, energy, love and purpose possible, and it is possible to live a better life with real, evidence-based practices.”
