Word is Out. The Elk Wellbeing Centre in Clifton Hill is toxic.

Unusual for a Wellbeing Centre to be building a name for having very little integrity in the wellness market. It seems Wellness is not code for mature, ethical practitioners.

Several healers, workshop facilitators and other practitioners are rating Elk as 'horrible'. Experiences range from being lied to about what is actually available at the centre - one woman being told 'we just don't hire out the space anymore'. Clear discrimination practice at work.

Apparently the lady running the centre is a real stickler for details and if you fail to put your coffee cup back in the cupboard or dare leave a cushion in another spot to where it was when you came in you'll cop a 'cleaning fee'.

For those considering running workshops, the advice is DON'T. If you are hoping the agreement they offer for giving you 4 weeks notice on any cancellation they decide to give (because you moved their cushions), trust me, it won't happen.

Finally we certainly don't recommend giving them control of your marketing. Likely they'll forgot on the way throughand then magically disappear your customer base by deleting your hard worked for events off social media platforms.

To avoid stress, your bank account and customer base shrinking we recommend avoid while the rest of the community wakes up to this highly unethical centre.
