Byron Bay Retreat Wrap 2025

We arrived Sunday afternoon to make the most of our stay – the weather was perfect and we sat around for a welcome while sipping on cold pressed juice from Nectar Cold pressed.  The girls’ vulnerability from the get-go was inspiring and I knew already they were going to get so much out of the 2 days. They all needed to be there so much and needed the time to breathe for themselves.  

Tracy from Feast Catering put on the most amazing Italian feast for our first night as the ladies got to know each other and shared stories of why they were there and what they really wanted to get out of the weekend.  For me, it’s about making space for them to open up, with zero expectations, no pre-conceived ideas, and just new ears to listen.

We kicked off the day with a workout with me at 6am – getting their blood flowing and energy levels high.  Breakfast followed with fresh eggs from the chicken coop and protein pancakes courtesy of Happy Way.  
Emily started our sessions for the day and watching the ladies just engrossed in what she was saying was amazing.  Speaking of her truths, helping the women unpack trapped emotions, and allowing them to realise their barriers and what’s holding them back.

A snack break with snacks from my recipe book and off my app, some fruit and into a nutrition session with me:
– Talking whole foods, simple swaps, consistency and persistence
– How to manage kids
– Habit formation and tips to reduce self sabotage and barrier blocking

All the women got so involved in both sessions and it’s great to spark conversation – you never know what someone else is going through and it’s sometimes easy to think you’re the only one feeling the way you do – until someone else says it. It really opened up meaningful chats that went on lovely tangents.

Lunch was the most epic nourish bowls full of grilled halloumi, roast chicken, asian salad, nuts and seeds and veges to die for.  
The afternoon was for relaxation – time by the pool, in the sauna, a nap or a walk around the farm.  Time that most of us don’t get – especially mothers.  

Emily took us through the most divine Yoga Nidri in the afternoon helping us connect back in – I may have fallen asleep out of pure relaxation. Dinner was another amazing affair with Tracy really ramping up the Asian feast.  A glass of wine of course – balance is key – and chats about what was next when they return home: implementing changes and actively taking action!
Connecting women in this space is what is amazing for me – seeing total strangers connect and laugh, feel seen and appreciated.
