Born from a deep connection to the ocean and a passion for natural health, we are a small family business based in Victoria, Australia. For generations, the sea has been more than just a source of livelihood, it has been a wellspring of inspiration, vitality, and healing.
Meet The Team
Joe Milani
Founder
Joe Milani, director of the world's first abalone peptide, has spent a lifetime dedicated to health, innovation, and sustainability, with a genuine passion for staying active. At 69, he still cycles and goes to the gym every morning. A former triathlete and lifelong natural health enthusiast, Joe was always the one in the family turning up with new powders, herbs, and remedies to keep everyone feeling their best. Now, in a full-circle moment, he’s created one himself: a patented anti-inflammatory peptide made from Australian abalone.
Tess Milani
Co-Founder
A lifelong devotee of natural health, Tess has always believed true vitality begins within, a philosophy she lives every day. Growing up symbiotically with the ocean, she was immersed in movement from a young age through dance, gymnastics, and surfing the waves of her coastal hometown. Her connection to the sea runs deep, fuelling both her personal wellbeing and her creative inspiration. With over 15 years’ experience in graphic design and branding, Tess brings a wealth of creative direction firmly rooted in the health and wellness space, shaping Tidelab’s vision with passion and purpose.
Hanah Robertson
Co-Founder
Raised by the sea, Hannah’s life has always been intertwined with the ocean, a love she shares with her surf-obsessed family who spend every spare moment on the beach or in the water. From an early age, her passion for health and wellness was sparked by her father’s curious collection of natural supplements brought home from overseas. Today, Hannah combines this lifelong connection to nature with extensive experience in digital marketing, using her skills to build and promote wellbeing through Tidelab.
