ABOUT BLOOM

The Bloom Wellbeing Festival was founded by Emma Lodge. Her journey began in 2007 when a close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. “I just wanted to help, and so I figured the closest thing I could do to make a difference was to fundraise,” Emma said.Without any prior event experience, Emma decided to create the largest Pink Ribbon fundraising event in Cairns. The Pink Ribbon High Tea attracted over 200 people in the ballroom of the Shangri-La Hotel, Cairns, and raised over $10,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

From that point on, the event became her creative outlet. As she networked with women and breast cancer survivors, hearing their personal stories and the journeys they had endured, she felt compelled to continue with the event. However, four years later, Emma began to question where the raised funds were going and became intrigued by the idea of finding “the cure.”“I was naïve to think that raising money would soon lead to finding a cure. As I immersed myself in research, I realised that we live in a toxic world, and there seemed to be a disconnect between raising money for cancer and people going home, spraying chemical cleaning products, and eating processed foods that are likely to cause cancer. I realised I no longer wanted to support the status quo.”This is when Emma experienced what she describes as her U-turn in life. “Having learned that there are simple measures people can take right now to prevent illness and chronic disease, I finally understood the phrase ‘prevention is better than cure.’”Emma began inviting authors and guest speakers to Cairns to run 'Prevention is the Cure' educational seminars. She also started a bus tour called The Organic Experience. “The seminars were great, but they didn’t seem to have a lasting impact. I wanted to create a memorable experience and take people to the grassroots,” she stated.

The Organic Experience was a way to connect people with local food producers on the Atherton Tablelands, helping them gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of how food connects our community, wellbeing, and environment. This, in turn, led Emma to create Bloom, a weekend wellness event in Cairns.“Having networked and uncovered an array of like-minded health businesses around Far North Queensland, I wanted to share the goodness we have in our region and make a difference right now. What we need is knowledge and information to empower ourselves to make our own informed choices about our health, and that’s what Bloom presents.”Thirteen years on, Bloom has become a highly sought-after event, attracting incredible minds both locally and from interstate to present on all aspects of health and wellness. In addition to this, Emma created Bloom Magazine to share conversations and stories as she learns from the experts in their field.

“Producing the Bloom Wellness Festival and Bloom Magazine was never part of my lifelong vision or plan. I don’t even know how I've managed to produce such an event and magazine for so many years. All I can say is that I’ve been gifted with the skills, drive, and passion to make it happen. At the very least, I hope the event will plant the seed that empowers and guides people to make their own informed decisions when it comes to health.”
