The mental health and fitness resources created for and by disabled people

Georgia Bondy is a performer and content creator who proactively shares perspectives and strategies around disability. She has a range of experience under her belt: a Master in Science degree in Brain, Behaviour & Cognition and Chemistry, as well as three years in a science education tech startup.

The brainchild of these passions is Georgia’s business, Well Adapt. It’s an online platform that provides mental health and physical exercise courses, created for and by disabled people.

As a disabled person, Georgia has personal experience with the lack of online resources for mental health or fitness that are accessible and relevant. While experiencing deterioration from chronic fatigue, she was recommended physical exercise but nobody could tell her what to do without it causing debilitating flare-ups.

Well Adapt’s courses use pre-existing wellbeing techniques like mindfulness, meditation and pilates. However, they will leverage the experience of disabled people like Georgia to make them more accessible and disability focused.

“Despite the fact that 16 percent of the global population is disabled, most online resources for mental health or fitness lack even basic accessibility features like closed captions or sign language. I have created Well Adapt to change this,” Georgia says.
