The Art of Receiving Women's Wellness Retreat Brisbane | A 2-Night Retreat to Rest, Reset & Reconnect 2 Night Retreat Friday 14th August to Sunday 16th August 2026
You’re always the one looking after everyone else…
Your family.
Your clients.
Your team.
Your friends.
But when was the last time someone looked after you?
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, emotionally drained or like you’ve forgotten who you are beneath all the responsibilities, this retreat was created for you.
The Art of Receiving is a beautiful two-night women’s wellness retreat designed to help you slow down, release stress and reconnect with yourself.
Nestled in the peaceful surrounds of Temple Retreat at Pullenvale, you’ll enjoy nourishing meals, gentle movement, restorative massage, meaningful conversations, creativity and expert-led workshops that calm your nervous system and refill your emotional cup.
You won’t leave with another to-do list.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, calmer, clearer and ready to return home with renewed energy, confidence and joy.
Because you deserve more than surviving.
You deserve to receive.
This retreat is perfect if…
You’re constantly putting everyone else’s needs before your own.
You feel mentally exhausted even after a good night’s sleep.
You’ve forgotten what it feels like to truly relax.
You’re craving connection with genuine, like-minded women.
You want practical tools to reduce stress and regulate your nervous system.
You’re ready to stop running on empty and start living with more ease.
Imagine waking up without rushing.
Enjoying nourishing food prepared for you.
Laughing with women who simply “get it.”
Moving your body gently.
Reading beneath the trees.
Sitting around a fire sharing stories.
Receiving a massage.
Learning simple practices that you’ll continue using long after the weekend ends.
This is your permission to pause.
Not because you’ve earned it.
Because you’re worthy of it.
Imagine returning home…
Sleeping better
Feeling emotionally lighter
Less reactive
Better boundaries
More energy
Clearer mind
Feeling like yourself again
A weekend of creativity, cooking, and connection — because joy is the best kind of self-care.
Created for women who lead full and meaningful lives, this retreat is a gentle invitation to pause, restore, and reconnect.
Across two nights, you’ll be welcomed into a thoughtfully curated experience where every detail is taken care of.
Allowing you to fully relax and settle into a slower, more supportive rhythm.
There’s something powerful about giving yourself permission to step away from daily responsibilities and simply be.
During your time away, you’ll be supported through a blend of mental and physical wellbeing experiences, designed to help you unwind, recharge, and reconnect with yourself in a natural and comfortable way.
Following along our usual theme of self-care, support, connection and filling your physical and emotional cup to overflow so that you have the energy, passion and drive to give from a place of overflow and not depletion
This retreat is for you if you’re ready to...
- To step away from daily demands and give yourself permission to pause
- To slow down and settle into a more nourishing, supportive rhythm
- To release tension and allow your body and mind to truly unwind
- To be cared for, rather than always being the one who gives
- To reconnect with what you need, without pressure or expectation
- To return home feeling calmer, clearer, and more grounded
It’s a simple but meaningful shift, creating space not just to give, but also to receive.
You’ll return home feeling calmer, clearer, and more grounded with a renewed sense of ease and capacity for the life you lead.
Leave the to-do list at home.
Bring your curiosity, your softness, and your sense of wonder.
We’ll take care of the rest.

What have you dreamed you could do?
Write a book? Move into a dream job or a new career? Run a marathon?
Does that dream seem too big? Too hard? Or so far out of your comfort zone that you are stuck?
Are you procrastinating on your dream? Or, don’t feel you have enough time…
Do you doubt yourself to the point of either not following your dreams, or downsizing those dreams?
Well, you are not alone!
The hardest part of achieving a goal is having the confidence,
resources, courage and support to continue with this dream.
That’s why I created my Life Choices Membership Coaching Program.
