WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

Nutrition & Health

Female physiology is unique, but unfortunately much of nutrition and exercise science has been solely focused on male data. This misrepresentation of females across science has led to ignoring the unique differences women possess such as our hormonal cycle and listening to how to nourish our body rather than starve our existence on so many levels other than weight on the scales. Expect to be enlightened with the science behind how amazing your female body is, how to honor your hormonal superpowers and as they fluctuate over the lifecycle and learn to nourish yourself fully so you can see your life performance thrive. 

Yoga

Yoga has experienced extraordinary growth in recent years for many good reasons. The physical benefits include flexibility, strength, improved bone density, muscle tone, joint health and enhanced blood and lymphatic circulation. Emerging research is further revealing many more positive benefits in the areas of weight loss, diabetes, nervous system support, pain management, high blood pressure, the menopause transition and support for the immune system. Your experienced yoga teacher Suzie will gently guide you through a variety of practices including vinyasa, restorative, breath work and yoga nidra. No yoga experience is necessary. 

Integration

The synergy between nutrition, physiology, health, yoga and mindfulness are rich and deep. (Re)Treat to Revitalise combines these together as complementary modalities to expand, deepen, and integrate your everyday experience. Our goal is to have you leaving with the knowledge, wisdom and tools that you can take forward into your every day life to achieve your health and wellness goals far beyond your 4 day immersion and continue to reap the benefits of sustainable change as well as have our teachings flow on to positively impact those around you.

“My soul has been completely revitalised by the combined knowledge, guidance, passion, empathy & joy of one of the most phenomenal group of women.

I honestly can’t put into words all the amazing nuggets of gold I received from Ange, Suze and the other ladies. I feel truly gifted to have been apart of the experience. I got permission, from myself, to go slower in my life and appreciate myself more! To be kinder to myself as I am worthy and I am enough. I caught my breath and found myself again! And for that, I will be eternally grateful for what you created.”

"I went on the (Re)Treat and Revitalise retreat with the goal to simply unwind, eat well and learn how to treat my body with kindness. Right from the start I was blown away. The location and facilities were top shelf, the food was an absolute standout - Aja is not just a chef but an artist. The nutrition and fitness advice given so generously by Ange on how to build your plate, what foods produce the best results around training and how to eat a well balanced diet without ever dieting is pure gold. The yoga and reflection times were so relaxing and the icing on the cake were the 11 other exceptional women that you got to share it with.

There were laughs, there were tears, we worked out together, shared deeply together, we bonded over the campfire and inspired one another. All combined left you feeling well nourished in mind, body and soul. When can we do it all again?"

Angela

"It’s difficult to describe the overwhelming sense of profound peace I found during this retreat. My goal was to reconnect with myself, be kinder and more forgiving of me, and gain some clarity about my future direction.

I’m so thankful to Ange and Suze for providing the space, their time and knowledge to achieve this. Many of the learnings from the retreat I have been able to take with me and put into practice from breathwork to yoga, peri nutrition principles to  nourishing food. I was fortunate to share the experience with one of my dearest friends and the twin share room we occupied was beautiful.

I was also privileged to meet some amazing women! As fate would have it, the collection of beautiful souls complemented each other perfectly. Everyone had something to give and something to take away. There was no judgement, no pretences, no need to pretend to be something you weren’t. I could safely let my guard down and be vulnerable.

The perfect blend of everything needed to revitalise and head back into the world rejuvenated, refocused and reawakened."

"To start with, I had no idea what to expect from the Retreat to Revitalise. What I was looking for was a few days away to re-group and unwind from the everyday busy life of a working mother. What I actually experienced blew me away! It delivered so much more than what I thought I needed.

From the moment I walked into the Welcome Session I knew I was where I needed to be. I’ve been to a lot of conferences and done some retreats before, but never have I walked into a room where I instantly felt that I was amongst the most amazing women, and they were all on exactly the same page as me. They saw me, and I saw them.

Every nutrition session was instructive, informative and affirming; building from the foundation upwards to provide a road map of supporting my body to be at its best through midlife and beyond. The yoga and reflective sessions complemented and built on each nutrition session seamlessly. By the end of Retreat to Revitalise I had gone through a journey that stripped away the blinders holding me back and re-directed my attention back towards the knowledge and actions that are now building a strong, active, mindful and healthful middle chapter of my life."
