Helping to choose the right career path for your child is one of the most meaningful decisions a parent can make. For Michelle, that moment came when her daughter Mia realised that the traditional high school path wasn’t the right fit for her.
Mia was ready for a space where she could learn in a supportive, hands-on environment. Together, she and her mum Michelle attended an endota Wellness College Open Day, and from the moment they walked through the doors, they knew they had found something special.
Fast forward to today, Mia is the proud owner of MG Beauty in Macedon, running her own business with the support and encouragement of her family. Since graduating from endota Wellness College in September 2024, she has built a rewarding career doing what she loves every day.
For Michelle, seeing Mia carve her own path has been incredibly rewarding. As a parent, she wanted her daughter to find not just a place to study, but an environment where she could truly grow academically, personally and creatively.
A journey of growth and independence
Since joining endota Wellness College, Mia’s transformation has been remarkable. Once unsure of her next steps, she now carries herself with confidence and determination. Through hands on training, nurturing mentors, and a supportive community, Mia has developed not only her professional skills but also a strong sense of independence and self-belief.
“As a parent, all you want to see for your children is for them to be happy… for the stars to align and for Mia to find endota and beauty and now run her own business I couldn’t be happier or prouder!”
Building skills and a future
At endota Wellness College, Mia discovered her passion for wellness and holistic care. The combination of real experience, wellness education, and supportive mentorship gave her the confidence to start her own business.
“Mia now has the skills and confidence to run her own business,” Michelle shares proudly. “I am so grateful for endota Wellness College. I couldn’t have asked for a better organisation to help her find her purpose.”
