Pampering Self-Care Time

Begin with a warm, cleansing foot bath & sea salt scrub. Melt your stress away, using our signature blend of aromatherapy oils during a one hour Therapeutic Aromatherapy Massage, firm, flowing & deeply relaxing treatment for the full body. Plus, a 30 minute Hydrating Facial Treatment. To cleanse, smooth & moisturise the skin.

Nourishing Meals Included
Nourishing meals, quiet spaces, and six acres of nature to help you unwind are included in your retreat package.
Unwind and Relax
Unwind, relax, read a book, sip a refreshing drink, take a dip, or daydream the hours away by our lagoon pool.

Pause & Pamper Weekend

We intentionally keep our workshops small to create a supportive and nurturing experience. As a result, workshops require a minimum number of bookings to proceed. If we don’t reach those numbers, we’ll contact you as early as possible to discuss alternative options, including another workshop, a personal stay, or a full refund.
