Recharge, Reset & Reignite Retreat 

The Journey back to you
Ready to press pause on life's endless demands and finally put yourself first? This Retreat is your permission slip to step away from the daily juggle and reconnect with the woman who's been waiting patiently beneath all those responsibilities.

Nestled just over an hour from Melbourne, this intimate 3-day, 2-night escape is thoughtfully designed for women who are taking care of everyone else but themselves. Here, you'll be the one being taken care of – from the moment you arrive, you'll be surrounded by like-minded women, nourished with beautifully prepared meals by our private chef, and welcomed into boutique accommodation that feels like a warm hug. No cooking, no cleaning, no compromising – just pure, guilt-free time to rest, reflect, and rediscover what lights you up.

This isn't just another wellness retreat – it's your journey back to you. Our sessions will give you tools to figure out who you really are (besides Mum, wife, colleague) and what you really want for your one precious life. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or simply craving space to dream again, you'll leave with renewed energy, crystal-clear clarity, and practical tools to design and live a life you truly love. Because remember: you can't pour from an empty cup, and it's time to fill yours back up.
