Let’s shine a spotlight on the experts 💥
Welcome to our April edition of Coffs Coast FOCUS, and what a powerhouse issue it is!
This month we spotlight our Sport, Fitness & Wellness Feature, a 30+ page celebration of the people and businesses helping our community move, feel and live better.
Gracing our cover this month is young local entrepreneur Joey Donovan, whose drive and determination are turning heads well beyond the Coffs Coast. Joey is channeling discipline from the gym floor into the world of business, launching his fitness apparel brand Daysoffno and creating first-home buyer platform MyHomie.help. His story is one of resilience, ambition and backing yourself, and we’re proud to share it.
Keep an eye out for your printed copy!

Meet Sarah McLauchlan – Founder of Sarah McLauchlan Gardens
With a lifelong passion for design and the outdoors, Sarah McLauchlan has built a garden design studio dedicated to creating outdoor spaces that feel thoughtful, functional and quietly beautiful.
Since relocating to the Mid North Coast in 2023, Sarah has continued to design gardens that respond to the landscape, lifestyle and character of each site — often transforming challenging spaces into something truly special.
Meet Krystal Brown – Hypnotherapist helping high performers find calm.
Many successful professionals appear to have it all together — but behind the scenes, the constant pressure, overthinking and inability to switch off can take a toll.
Krystal works with leaders and professionals to reset the nervous system, reduce anxiety and replace pressure with clarity and calm.
Coffs Harbour’s Holly Norton from Holly Brows has been selected as a National PMU (Permanent Makeup) Judge for the Australian Online Beauty Competition.
With over 25 years in the beauty industry, Holly is recognised for her precision, natural results and personalised approach to brow artistry — helping clients feel confident every day.
A huge achievement for a talented local professional.
Meet Natalie Scott, Director of Property Management at Dobbs & Co. In one of real estate’s most demanding sectors, Natalie leads with resilience, empathy and clear communication. For her, property management is about people and trust, not just property.
We’re so proud to see Lil featured in Focus Magazine – Women in Business 🙌🏻 @focus.mag
As part of our local family-run business, many of you already know Lil as the friendly face behind our marketing and socials — but she also has a real gift for helping customers bring their spaces together with carefully chosen floor coverings, colours and textures.
Choosing flooring can feel overwhelming, especially if you don’t know where to start. Lil has a natural eye for colour and a genuine ability to guide people toward combinations that feel right for their home and lifestyle, making the whole process feel simple and enjoyable.
If you’d love a little guidance pulling your ideas together, Lil would be more than happy to help 🤍
Also a huge thank you too @socialflipstudio & @gavinmoroneyphotography
