About Us

We specialise in corporate wellbeing services, working along side our clients to achieve exceptional levels of productivity, creativity, effectiveness, synergy, balance and energy with in their workplace.

Project Balance has been operating out of Melbourne since 2002 helping companies create higher levels of balance in their workplaces. Karina Butera, the original Director of the team, has a passion for challenging and subverting tired and rigid work practices, through bringing a fresh new approach to doing business. She deeply believes that when people are doing what they love, they will automatically do their best and exude a high level of positive energy and momentum in the process. This has a quantum leap effect on levels of productivity and success. She aspired to drawing together the best possible team of professionals, all who are passionate about the wellbeing of others and believe in creating positive ripple effects through their work. Over the years Karina has worked to create this vision, and has carefully selected the best possible practitioners to work with our Project Balance clients in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide.

When the original 'Positive Business Register' on our website grew to a point where those listed were seeking to be connected with each other as a way to work with like-minded people who truly cared about how they conduct business, Karina recognised the need to lead this mission and created High Ideals - a member based association to assess, educate, credential, connect and promote those who wanted to do business with integrity, positivity and impact. By early 2009, her workload with High Ideals had increased dramatically, which meant a new Managing Director was required to take over the reins of Project Balance. At the time, Gary Scholz, who was also involved in the creation of High Ideals, was available to increase his workload and the handover took place.

As the team has grown, so has the level of energy, enthusiasm and dedication within it. Each practitioner, most of whom have been running their own successful businesses in the health and wellbeing industry for many years, brings unique talents to the group, giving Project Balance clients a diverse smorgasbord of services to choose from. Each member of the Project Balance team has experienced working in the corporate world, and therefore has a very real understanding of the particular stresses and pressures present in contemporary workplaces. We are able to work with clients to put together the right combination of services and people to help them meet their company�s specific wellbeing objectives. We gain an immense sense of satisfaction when we see the results coming through for our clients, as they build higher levels of enjoyment, productivity and satisfaction into their workplace culture.
