A chance to deeply rest, relax and rejuvenate, ready to return home with more energy and vitality to do the things you love. That’s exactly what I needed when I ventured out on my first Balinese retreat. It was during a time in my life where I was tired, burnt out, and neglecting myself. As a busy wife and mother, I had demanded so much of my body for years on end – and given it nothing in return. I knew I needed a break, but I had no idea just how much.

And I almost didn’t go, because the thought of time away from my husband and children filled me with fear and overwhelm. But I put on a brave face, and did it anyway.

It was unlike any other holiday. 

All the planning was taken care of, I had amazing nourishing meals prepared for me, a relaxing schedule of nurturing activities like yoga and massage, plenty of laughter shared and memories made with the other women in the group, and for the first time in years – some precious time to myself. I rediscovered the power of self care, and soon realised I was able to give even more of myself to those around me by filling my cup first. It was a defining moment that took me from living life in the passenger seat, to creating the life I wanted. And I realised this was a gift I wanted to share with other women, just like you.
