In fact, Dom had been about to bail because he knew it would be a boozy night but was getting texts from friends calling him a \u2018Flaker\u2019, which is a big trigger word for him after spending years in LA where everyone\u2019s a flaker (\u2018the LA Flakers\u2019), and he\u2019s always been determined not to be that guy, so he arrived, late, and was seated next to Esther.\n<br><br>\nWithin minutes, we were engaged in the biggest, health-nerdiest conversation you can imagine: discussing yoga, meditation, journaling, alkaline water (we know, we know) and Dom started showing Esther pictures of the hike he\u2019d been on that day. We were swapping book and podcast recommendations, and it was the start of a magical connection. That week, Dom sent Esther a constant stream of  voice messages and articles to read, and not only did that not scare her off, it solidified that we were on the same page. Since then, we have lived together in LA and in NZ, completed nine out of the 10 NZ Great Walks, driven and tented across the western states of America, lived in Bali, got Covid together not once but twice and started the Wellbeings website while battling yet more viruses, computer disasters and different time zones.  \n<br><br>\nThe idea for Wellbeings first came up while we were hiking along the Routeburn track. Dom had long been keen to launch a podcast and it was while on the scenic hike that Esther saw the potential that the Wellbeings world could be an even bigger one: a digital resource, a community and an educational platform. \n<br><br>\nThis is when we unofficially went from life partners to business partners. We reached out to our community and started getting advice and support, and the response was incredible. What we discovered was that people were so wanting to work on something like this because they saw it as so needed.We were overwhelmed by this, and are so grateful for all the people and companies who have given their time, advice and resources to help bring WellBeings to life.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Wellbeings Story - wellbeings.nz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn about the mission and vision behind WellBeings.
