Where Vitality Begins with Haus of Vitality
Kathy Sundstrom introduces Haús of Vitality Mooloolaba, where private, technology-led treatments and a holistic approach to wellness redefine modern luxury.
Living on the Sunshine Coast gives the impression that balance should come easily. The ocean, the hinterland and the space to breathe suggest a life that looks after itself. Yet the constant pull of work, family and the mental load can leave even the most grounded among us feeling worn thin.
This is where Haús of Vitality has you covered.
Opened in Mooloolaba just weeks before Christmas, the wellness sanctuary is the first of its kind in Queensland, part of a growing collection of spas founded by Bree Tucker and already established in New South Wales and Sydney.
More than an expansion, this location feels like a natural fit for the Coast’s evolving relationship with health, one that is shifting away from quick fixes and toward something more considered.
For licensee Tegan McPherson, the decision to bring Haús of Vitality here was instinctive.
“It immediately resonated with me,” she says. “Haús of Vitality is a female-founded business with a strong focus on holistic wellness, and it aligned with both my values and the lifestyle here on the Sunshine Coast. It felt like something the community genuinely needs.”
That sense of alignment is evident from the moment you walk through the doors. The space has been designed not as a traditional day spa, nor as a clinical aesthetics environment, but somewhere in between.
It is calm, private and designed to feel personal. There are no communal spaces, no shared saunas or plunge pools. Instead, every experience is individual, guided and intentionally uninterrupted.
“It’s about creating a place where people can fully switch off,” Tegan explains. “Clients want to feel safe, comfortable and in control. So everything here is designed to be experienced in privacy, allowing you to focus entirely on yourself.”
It is a response to a broader shift that has been quietly reshaping the wellness industry.
In the years following lockdowns, people became more attuned to their own health, more informed, and more interested in approaches that support the body over time rather than chasing instant transformation.
At Haús of Vitality, that philosophy underpins everything.
Anti-ageing, here, is not about altering how you look, but supporting how your body functions.
“To me, it’s about helping your body and skin perform at their best,” Tegan says. “When your body is functioning well, your skin reflects that. You see it in your glow, your energy, even your posture. It’s a much more holistic approach.”
That approach brings together skin treatments and wellness technologies under one roof, with a focus on cellular regeneration, muscle tone, lymphatic flow and, perhaps most importantly, stress regulation.
Some treatments are familiar, others are less widely known, sitting at the forefront of emerging wellness technology.
Tesla Former, for example, uses functional magnetic stimulation to activate deep muscle layers in a way that would be impossible to replicate through exercise alone. One 30-minute session yields approximately 50,000 muscle contractions! Originally developed in medical settings for rehabilitation, it now offers a non-invasive way to build strength, improve tone and support fat reduction, without downtime.
Then there is the full-body LED collagen bed, a quietly transformative experience that extends beyond traditional facial treatments.
Rather than focusing on a single area, the entire body is bathed in therapeutic red light, supporting skin repair and collagen production on a broader scale.
For all the innovation, there is a clear understanding that not every treatment needs to be complex to be effective.
“I’m a big believer in the power of a relaxation facial,” Tegan says. “Our Haús Signature Facial is one that people come back to again and again. It’s results-driven, but it’s also deeply calming and restorative.”
This balance, between results and experience, is what defines the Haús of Vitality offering.
Advanced treatments such as IPL or skin needling sit alongside nurturing rituals, each delivered with an attention to detail that ensures clients feel supported at every step.
Even when a treatment carries a degree of intensity, the environment softens it, wrapping clinical outcomes in a sense of care.
From cleansing through to post-care, the experience is designed to feel seamless, intuitive and reassuring.
“We meet people where they’re at. Whether it’s their first time or they’ve been on a wellness journey for years, nothing should feel overwhelming.
“It should feel guided and supportive,” Tegan says.
It is an approach shaped not only by professional insight, but by personal experience.
Tegan’s own path into wellness has been anything but linear. With a background spanning real estate, medical administration and business ownership, she has navigated multiple industries before returning to her original interest in beauty therapy and holistic health.
“I’ve always had a deep interest in skin, health and wellbeing. And I’ve also been on my own journey with stress, anxiety and skin challenges. I understand what it feels like when your body isn’t in balance,” she says.
“On paper, my career might look like a mix of different things. But opening Haús of Vitality feels like I’ve come full circle. Like I’ve come back to myself.”
It is, perhaps, this authenticity that clients are connecting with and responding to.
There is no sense of being sold to, no pressure to commit to an ideal. Instead, there is a quiet emphasis on education, consistency and long-term wellbeing.
It reflects a broader cultural shift, where people are becoming more discerning about how they invest in their health.
“They want to feel empowered,” Tegan says. “They want to understand what they’re doing and why, and they want treatments that genuinely support how they feel, not just how they look.”
That focus on feeling is central to the Haús of Vitality experience. Luxury, here, is not defined by excess, but by sensation.
“From the moment someone walks in, the goal is for them to feel like they can exhale,” Tegan says.
Haús of Vitality is not just a place to improve your skin, or to try the latest technology, but a place to return to yourself. To step out of the noise, even briefly, and recalibrate.
Tegan’s vision is for it to become part of people’s lives in a meaningful way.
“I want it to be somewhere people come back to regularly because it genuinely improves how they feel,” she says. “If someone walks out feeling lighter, clearer and more like themselves again, then we’ve done our job.”
