Our Team
Meet the dedicated people behind The Bardo, working together to create a safe, supportive space for healing, and meaningful recovery.
Greig Sutton
Director of The Bardo
Director of The Bardo
Greig is a passionate advocate for addiction recovery, with a commitment to transforming lives by providing high-quality, personalised care. His journey into the realm of mental health and drug and alcohol services began in 2008, a path profoundly influenced by his personal battle with alcoholism and addiction.
Since starting his career, Greig has assumed pivotal roles in the field. For 10 years he served as a program coordinator for a 15-bed withdrawal unit and independent living program in Victoria. There he gained invaluable experience in helping individuals navigate the challenging process of mental health and addiction recovery. More recently, he managed a private retreat in New South Wales, further honing his expertise in providing holistic care and support to those eager for change.
Today, as the Director of The Bardo Health and Wellness, Greig, alongside his wife Lesley, a registered nurse, realised a dream of creating a private retreat offering highly individualised programs of recovery. Greig’s guiding principal is that ‘no two client’s lived experiences are the same so why should their program of recovery be the same?’ Having worked for over 12 years in a system which favoured the medical model and ‘one size fits all approach’ Greig identified a gap in support services which he has endeavoured to plug with The Bardo.
To accomplish this, they have assembled a formidable team of compassionate professionals who share their dedication to helping individuals rediscover a path to a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
The Bardo embodies Greig and Lesley’s dream of creating a sanctuary of hope, a place where transformation and healing flourish under the team’s compassionate and considerate client centred approach.

Danielle Drew
Wellbeing Counsellor and Social Worker
Wellbeing Counsellor
As a dedicated Social Worker with over a decade of experience working in Adult Mental Health Services with Qld Health, I have gained a broad range of valuable knowledge and skills to inform my practice today.
More recently I have been on my own journey of grief, loss, and healing. With the tragic, unexpected passing of my partner and father to my two beautiful adult daughters in 2021 I took time away from my career in Social Work. I found solace and healing in the rainforests of Tamborine Mountain and made the decision to become a Certified Forest therapy Guide. I completed my six month program with the International Nature and Forest Therapy Alliance (INFTA) in March 2023 and will be offering forest therapy sessions on Tamborine Mountain in 2025.
I look forward to working with you at The Bardo drawing on a unique blend of knowledge, skills, and abilities to support your path to improved health and wellness.

From the moment I first arrived, right through to where I am now in my recovery, I have felt completely supported and genuinely cared for every step of the way. The program you provide is exceptional, and it’s clear how much thought, structure, and compassion goes into it.
What really stands out to me is the environment you have created, it doesn’t just feel like a program, it feels like being part of a family. That sense of connection, understanding, and support has made a significant impact on my journey and has given me great confidence moving forward.
I feel extremely privileged to have experienced this journey with such a dedicated and compassionate group of people.

Read MoreI Attended The Bardo on a 4 week Detox/ rehab program, Leslie and Greg were absolutely fantastic I cannot stress enough how this program and experience changed my life and saved my life. I attended for opioid dependency and mental health associated issues caused by the opiates due to a significant back injury in 2020. I had a lot of trouble with my current doctor and specialist team who did not support me and left me helpless with no support or direction We reached out yo the Bardo who helped myself before even starting the program find the right specialist and support team to safely detox me in the facility. The facility is amazing 5 star accommodation and very private and confidential with complete one on one support, tailored to your life and lifestyle, goals and values not only to help detox and rehab you but to continue to support you in getting your life back on track to what you value you most. Not only that but they have a real passion to helping others and understanding and care in what people do through and how private it is for some. I looked at a lot of other government run programs which did not go to these lengths to get your life back on track the way you want to be. The Bardo continue after the program to assist abd support your also with follow up appointments. The staff are amazing and I have learnt so much about myself and life and rediscovered myself and my passions. All the staff are tailored to your lifestyle from councillors, psychologists, life coaches, yoga, acupuncture, pain management, nutritionist,PTs and sport’s psychology to name a few. They provide a caring environment and a relaxed setting with beautiful amenities and surrounding. All the meals are fully cooked by chefs for healthy eating. Greg and Leslie provide a 24 hour support with registered nurse and practitioners on hand to support all those going through detox with a caring and understanding attitude from years of experience in the field. I always felt safe, private and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. They also supported me with my continued back injury and ensured I had support and assisted in the rehab of my back injury supporting me in finding a capable new dr and specialist team to continue treatment in my back. They pride themselves on enduring ever person is supported individually as all persons are different and have had a different journey, whilst also allowing patients to continue to connect with the outside works keeping their phones to speak to loved ones or work etc. The bardo also ensure getting out in the world again is so important and have a range of activities set up to ensure patients are getting out whether it be a cafe, lunch, whale watching or bowling to name a few to remember what it’s like to enjoy life again. I love fishing and fitness and they took me fishing and hiking several times. The biggest thing got me was the privacy as it’s a very private battle having my own room and space but also freedom to see my family or get out and go for a walk and time to do reflection. I looked at different government facilities which were not private shared rooms and had no connection with the outside world and a lot of group activities with little to no support outside leaving or other facilities were insanely expensive. To put it simply the Bardo Leslie, Greg and the team saved my life from where i was until now I’m a completely different person and having left felt confident and supported to go back to life with a new outlook, tools and techniques to support me in living a positive lifestyle again and enjoy life. Thank you again Greg and Leslie you saved my life Read Less
