The journey of The Good Day Matrix.

The beginning: Hey Mama Movement ladies

The Good Day Matrix (as it has evolved to be known now) was founded by Daz back in 2017.

After the birth of her second son, Daz developed postnatal depression, feeling lost, overwhelmed, disconnected, unmotivated and unconfident.

She had no idea where to start or how to turn her fake smiles back into real ones.

Daz invited six friends to workout in her garage and in three months, through word of mouth, 120 women were working out in her garage, every week.

Daz knew she wasn’t alone in this journey to finding what worked for her wellbeing (even though it really felt lonely)! So, in 2019, she developed a world-first concept to take her “Garage workouts” into people’s homes digitally. However, building apps costs way more money than her whānau could cover.

The proverbial pin was pulled on the app.


But the dream remained strong to support people in Aotearoa to thrive and live well everyday.
In wellbeing, and in business!

The plan changed, the dream didn't.

In July 2021 The Good Day Matrix was officially launched, a platform dedicated to providing everyone with free wellbeing resources to help them on their wellbeing journey!

We are a social good organisation, meaning, our primary goal is to positively impact your life and that’s why now, after five years of iterations and development, we get to give you our wellbeing platform, FREE, because wellbeing isn’t a destination you reach. There is no one-size-fits-all approach or answer.

It’s about a matrix of elements intersecting and working together to help you thrive!

We needed to develop a model to sustainably support this kaupapa, which is where our wellbeing and leadership mahi enters the picture!
When we work with businesses within the wellbeing space we not only get to help their people thrive, but those organisations also help contribute to the wellbeing of many other people across Aotearoa!

The dream.

Our mission is to be a force for good, to help people connect and find the good in everyday, so they can stay in the arena of possibility when things are challenging.

Thriving wellbeing sets the stage for growth – And we’re here for the mission!
Please join us and be part of this game changing mission too.

Having the right people on the waka is absolutely critical and we are so lucky at The Good Day Matrix to have absolutely epic humans on this journey with us.
