"I want to encourage customers to lean into wholesome living and ... [do] something they've never done, such as reiki or energy healing, sound healing or a dance class," Mrs Ellison, who is also a women's empowerment coach, said.

"You can also have a conversation with an expert in the health, wellness and holistic living space."

The day will feature workshops with fitness and activewear queen Lisa Trujilo, prenatal experts, plus yoga, pilates and reiki healing.

Mrs Ellison wanted to create a local event after finding it difficult to visit similar festivals in Sydney, and successfully ran her first fair in Kiama in June.

"I am all about high vibe energy so as soon as you walk into the fair you will feel it," she said.

"I love to be the connector of bringing people together. It's a huge value of mine - my women's empowerment coaching business - it lights me up so much knowing I'm helping women.

The fair runs from 9am-2.30pm on Saturday, September 2 at City Beach Function Centre, Wollongong.
