Kirsty Wirth

KW Founder, Qualified Teacher, Integrative Health Coach,

Author and Speaker.

I'm Kirsty, Founder of Kultured Wellness. My mission is to inspire and educate individuals to take charge of their health through real and fermented foods that nourish the brain and gut.

This background fuels my commitment to empower our community with knowledge, fostering well-being and thriving.

On a personal note, I'm a passionate nature lover, hiker, mother, wife, and a strong advocate for children.

Kylie Penn

Health Coach

I’m an Integrative Nutrition Coach, GAPS Practitioner, and Buteyko Breathing Practitioner with a Master’s in Nursing and over 20 years of experience in acute and chronic care. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, food as medicine, and truly partnering with each client. I believe healing happens when we support the body in the way it was designed to thrive.
After being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition in 2015, I went looking for root-cause solutions—and that journey sparked my passion for nutrition, physiology, and holistic healing. 

I focus on the foundations: sleep, sunlight, movement, connection—and breaking everything down into simple, achievable steps. Because I believe we all need a coach in our corner to feel our best.

Jena Frylink

Naturopath & Clinical Nutritionist

I am a bachelor-degree qualified naturopath (clinician, herbalist, and nutritionist) with a passion for seeing people thrive! Through my sister's journey with autism, my own health challenges, and the healthcare experiences of friends and family, I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a practitioner to provide families with hope and empowerment.

My passion for root-cause healthcare drove me to study naturopathy, a modality with a profound emphasis on holism and vitalism. The pillars of health: sleep, nutrition, hydration, movement, sunlight, community, and stress management are at the core of my practice.

You will find me keeping up with the latest research and clinical trials, while also reaching for my traditional texts to tap into ancient wisdom. I place importance on making evidence-based healthcare decisions using nutraceuticals and herbal medicine, as well as providing dietary and lifestyle recommendations.

I have been a part of the Kultured Wellness team since studying at university. I am passionate about our mission and vision, and can’t wait to meet each of you to be a part of your journey.

When I am not working, you’ll find me playing the piano, climbing a mountain with friends, going to a Pilates class, reading historical fiction, taking a sunrise dip in the ocean, and trying a new recipe in the kitchen.

Mirella

Naturopath 

Hi, I’m Mirella—a Bachelor of Health Science-qualified naturopath originally from Finland, with a deep passion for helping people live in alignment with their purpose and in optimal health. After being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2020, I gained a personal understanding of how chronic illness can impact every part of life. This experience, along with my studies, has shaped my root-cause approach to health and a strong belief in food as medicine, alongside the essentials—sleep, hydration, and nourishment. Outside of clinic life, you’ll find me reading, making pottery, baking gluten-free treats or travelling with my husband. I’m a big believer in the power of joy and creativity in the healing process.

I’m so looking forward to walking alongside you on your journey.

Dallen Webber

Integrative Health & Nutrition Coach

Hi, I’m Dallen, the senior health coach at Kultured Wellness. I live on the Sunshine Coast with my husband, three kids, and a dog who thinks he’s human!

With nearly 20 years of experience as a critical care nurse, I now focus on empowering people to become their healthiest selves through nutrition, movement, and mindset. My journey toward holistic health began during my first pregnancy, leading me to study Functional Nutrition.

Today, I help people around the world transform their bodies and health. I believe true healing goes beyond pills—it’s about using nutrition to reset the body. The body’s innate ability to heal never ceases to amaze me. Let’s cut through the noise and return to the wisdom of traditional health practices to help you feel your best.
