Rachel Daniels
Event Logistics | Stakeholder Management | Funding Streams | Marketing
Rachel Daniels is Co-Founder of Three Rivers Wellness, a proud Yuwaalaraay woman with cultural ties to the fresh water people of the Narran River region. Her work is grounded in a strong connection to country, community, and the responsibility of walking the bush track back to her culture with integrity.
With over a decade of experience across Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community engagement, Indigenous business development, stakeholder relations, and event curation within the not-for-profit sector, Rachel is known for building respectful, values-led partnerships that create meaningful and lasting impact. Her practice is anchored in integrity, self-determination, and a deep commitment to strengthening people, organisations, and communities.
Rachel brings a natural ability to walk in two worlds, bridging community and corporate systems, culture and commerce, and tradition with contemporary business practice. She specialises in strategic partnerships, stakeholder engagement, event logistics, and the development of sustainable funding pathways that support community-led and culturally safe outcomes.
Her leadership is shaped by long-term engagement with community, industry, government, and Aboriginal organisations, alongside a firm belief that genuine connection must be intentionally cultivated through safe, thoughtfully designed, and culturally respectful spaces.
At Three Rivers Wellness, Rachel leads event strategy, stakeholder management, marketing, administration and funding development. She plays a central role in designing and delivering culturally safe gatherings, retreats, workshops, and programs, ensuring each experience is seamless, grounded, and structured to foster trust, connection, and authentic sharing.
Rachel’s work is driven by the creation of environments that are not only professionally delivered, but deeply human spaces that nurture belonging, support healing, inspire leadership, and strengthen authentic connection.
She co-founded Three Rivers Wellness to create places where people, communities, and organisations can come together in culturally safe and empowering ways where wellbeing, leadership, business growth, and connection are recognised as deeply interconnected.
For Rachel, this work is about walking in two worlds with purpose: honouring culture while building strong systems, creating opportunity through connection, and designing experiences where people feel heard, valued, and empowered to thrive.

Ronnella Onyeajum
M. Narrative Therapy & Community Work
Ronnella Onyeajum is a co-founder of Three Rivers Wellness, bringing nearly 30 years of experience in mental health, trauma recovery, and community healing. A proud Kubbi Kubbi and Kuku Yalanji woman, her work is deeply grounded in cultural reconnection, self-determination, and the belief that healing must be culturally safe, community-led, and spiritually grounded.
Ronnella’s practice is guided by Narrative Therapy principles, trauma-informed care, and Indigenous knowledge systems. She specialises in supporting individuals, families, and communities to reclaim their stories, strengthen identity, and restore connection to culture, Country, and self.
As a mother of eight and grandmother of ten, her leadership is shaped by lived experience, deep cultural responsibility, and a lifelong commitment to advocacy, empowerment, and healing for future generations. Ronnella leads the cultural, clinical, and healing framework of the organisation. She ensures all services remain culturally safe, trauma-informed, spiritually grounded, and community-led across individual support, community programs, workforce wellbeing, and Employee Assistance Program services.
Her work bridges culture, clinical care, community healing, and workforce wellbeing, ensuring healing is not just professional but relational, cultural, and collective.
Ronnella co-founded Three Rivers Wellness to create a space where culture is central, healing is collective, and community knowledge is honoured alongside clinical practice. A space where identity is recognised as medicine, connection is prevention, and people are supported in ways that uphold dignity, safety, and self-determination.
For Ronnella, healing is not just a profession, it is a calling, a responsibility, and a legacy she carries for her children, grandchildren, community, and future generations.
