About Kulaiya Collective.

Kulaiya Collective was founded by Melissa Smith, a proud Gumbaynggirr woman, and Kimberly Mann, a proud Barkindji woman, with a shared vision of creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, their Culture, their community, and what matters most.

We are building more than just a program or platform. We are building a collective.

A community of people committed to walking alongside one another, creating space for growth, healing, connection, and belonging.

Through our lived experiences, alongside our professional knowledge and practice, we have learned something powerful: when one person grows, we all grow. When one person heals, it creates space for others to heal too.

That belief sits at the heart of everything we do.

Kulaiya Collective is a space where wellbeing, self-care, Culture, creativity, and connection come together. A place where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves.

We believe healing was never meant to happen alone. For generations, our people have gathered in community, shared knowledge, connected through Culture, and supported one another through life's challenges and celebrations.

We carry that same spirit into everything we create, from Cultural workshops and wellbeing programs to creative experiences, healing spaces, and opportunities for meaningful connection.

At Kulaiya Collective, everyone is welcome.

Because healing is not an individual journey.

It is something we nurture.

As a collective.
