Wellness Breakthrough Academy

Wellness Breakthrough Academy is a personal development and wellness provider in Belconnen, Canberra, focused on helping people understand the beliefs, habits and nervous-system responses that may be limiting their wellbeing. Its approach centres on self-awareness, personal responsibility and practical change across areas including health, relationships, purpose, mindset, stress management and leadership.

The Academy’s signature Leadership Mentoring Program provides ongoing support through weekly group or individual sessions. The program is intended for people who may appear successful but feel unfulfilled, overwhelmed, stuck in repeated patterns or disconnected from their purpose. Rather than presenting a quick fix, the Academy’s material emphasises reflection, accountability and applying what you learn. Its short courses and workshops cover topics such as emotional mastery and healthy relationships, while its broader framework addresses self-mastery, community and team leadership, and building self-worth and wealth.

There is also support for organisations seeking to develop leadership skills among their staff. The Academy describes its leadership model through values including courage, communication, emotional connection, humility, vision, integrity and awareness. This makes the service relevant not only to individuals working on personal growth, but also to leaders, teams and businesses looking for a more reflective approach to development. Relationship-focused support may also suit individuals or couples wanting to work on communication, trust, connection and boundaries, although the website does not provide details about specific appointment formats.

The Academy was co-founded by Jason Irving and Anja Irving. Jason is described as an international speaker, best-selling author and transformation educator with more than 28 years in the helping profession, while Anja is an international speaker and human behaviour expert specialising in relationship transformation. Laura Connolly, a registered nurse and personal development mentor, contributes health and wellness expertise, drawing on her healthcare leadership experience. The site also features a podcast and books by the team, offering additional ways to explore their ideas. Wellness Breakthrough Academy received an Outstanding Education Service recognition in the 2021 Canberra Local Business Awards.
