This 3-night retreat is your chance to step away from the endless to-do lists, constant demands, and the overwhelm of daily life—and reconnect with yourself.

You’ll slow down, breathe, and tune in. Through powerful practices, you’ll increase self-awareness, shift your perspective, and start seeing life through fresh eyes. You’ll learn the importance of connecting with what truly matters—and letting go of what doesn’t.

You’ll discover how to use your body and breath to regulate your nervous system, quiet your mind, and begin healing from the inside out.

Surrounded by like-minded women, you’ll be heard, seen, accepted, and supported in a way that empowers you to step into the woman you’re capable of being.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, calmer, nourished, and re-energized—ready to take what you’ve learned and integrate it into your life.

Because sometimes, the best thing you can do is unplug for a while—including you.

Words from some women who have attended this retreat

The tools I learnt from Belinda are like nothing I ever expected to walk away with.

I walked in not really knowing why I was there, I just knew I was stuck and struggling, and I didn’t know why or how to move past it. If you asked my husband or kids before I went, they would say I was always grumpy and yelled a lot, I was always tired and frustrated and not a lot of fun most of the time, and that was getting me down too.

That’s not who I wanted to be and I wasn’t living my best life.

That’s all changed! I have come home with a whole new lease of life, the appreciation and love for myself, my family, home, and work have all grown exponentially. I’m laughing with my family and doing things with them that I would have previously said “na it’s ok I’ll just watch you”.

I feel present and involved and I love it! It’s so hard to explain, but going on this retreat was the most challenging, rewarding and most amazing thing I have ever done for myself.

April

This retreat was the single most wonderful thing I have ever done for myself, ever!

What Belinda offered me on this retreat was the most magical, gut wrenchingly hard, self-reflective, invigorating, soul baring, nourishing, intense few days of my life.

I can’t really put into words what it’s like to walk into an experience like that alone, to meet a group of strangers on that first day, who now I know will be in my life forever.

The most phenomenal moments I’ll cherish always. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much.

This retreat is one I would highly recommend!

Renee

Bel has such a beautiful and nurturing energy.

On her retreat you are bound to meet an incredible bunch of women – you will feel heard, and you will feel accepted.

No matter what your circumstance is or what you are going through, everyone is equal. The space is yours.

I believe everyone deserves this experience.

Ellidy

I want to say a massive thank you for helping me change my story and giving me a renewed sense of self and life.

I am no longer that heavy smoker, junk food loving night owl who hates early mornings.

I thought that was just who I was but how thankful I am that your retreat made me realise I’m actually so much more than that.

I am now a happy non-smoker, early sleeper who eats real food and wait for it…wakes up to watch the sunrise. The saying rise and shine has taken on a whole new meaning for me and has become my daily mantra.

I originally booked the retreat with a focus on helping me deal with the anxiety, depression and grief I was experiencing, yet what I got from it was so much more!

To have experienced a full 360 on the lifestyle I was leading has certainly been an unexpected change that has left me feeling so free. I no longer feel like I’m wrapped in chains and being weighed down, and for that I will be forever grateful.

Patrice

I’ve done two retreats now, and I actually think I got a lot more out of the second one.

The first one was definitely more impactful (as experiencing anything for the first time would be) but this time I feel like I really went all-in! I didn’t have any whiff of hesitation, wondering if all of this stuff actually worked as I knew that it did, so I felt that I could go further and deeper this time.

The same goes for the connection I made with everyone. I really feel like I have made lifelong connections which to anyone in the outside world would sound odd, given we only spent 4 days together!

I am so grateful to have had the privilege of sharing this experience. I can’t wait to see what I take out of Retreat #3 when the time comes!

Aimee

The moment I arrived I knew I had made the right choice. All the women were so warm & friendly. I think we were all a little nervous and apprehensive but I think that’s a good thing as it showed the want we had to be there.

I still cannot succinctly articulate what the retreat has done & meant for me. I think that will come in time. However, the guidance by Belinda to support all of us in what we needed to work through and be opened up to was incredible. I feel like my life will never be the same post this retreat.

It was raw, emotional, heavy, engaging but also fun, connecting, loving and warm. I discovered parts of me I have never connected with and there was a lot that came up I thought hadn’t impacted me or was significant in my past but I needed to address. I have returned home with a new love for healthy food, have adopted some daily practices and have the tools to ground myself when feeling overwhelmed. I feel lighter and calmer than I have in years.

Belinda, you have an amazing presence which is a gift to all that interact with you. I know for certain I’ll be back for another experience.

Belinda

I honestly cannot put my feeling of gratitude into words.

The connections that I made not only with the women there, who in all honesty I feel as though I have known for years, and the deeper connection I have made with myself is euphoric. I have never felt so supported and held in such a space. No words were exchanged to feel the support, just pure energy and the look from what I now call beautiful friends that say ‘I got you, I understand you, you can do this’.

Your presence Belinda is undeniably calming. An energy that I can now say I have brought home with me, and that I will continue to blend into my daily life. I feel so blessed that our paths crossed, you have brought so many new beautiful connections into my life.

Brooke

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to have found this retreat and more so to have found you.

At first I thought the retreat would not be anywhere near long enough for me to be able to unpack and unwind my 40 years of stuff! I know I still have a long way to go however with this brand new lens I now have and can look at life with is truly amazing. I could go on and on about all the things that made this retreat so awesome.

For me it was everything I needed and more, allowing myself to be open to the healing that took place inside as it was the perfect place to dive into your soul and explore which I definitely did.

You made everything seem so within reach with your loving and honest approach so for that I thank you. Although life has its challenges and I’m still jumping hurdles every day I can honestly say hand on heart you have ignited a fire in me that will never go out.

Simone

Belinda, you casually mentioned during our welcome session that the reasons we all thought we were on this retreat would change. You hinted that what we would get from the experience by the end of the retreat would almost certainly be different from our initial estimations. In other words, that was our advance notice of the gradual unfolding that we would all witness in ourselves and each other. I came to this retreat with a knowing that I was moving towards a season of allowing. I felt within me a pull to release some of the inner resistance that has been showing up in my physical body as tired, achy muscles and persistent fatigue, in my emotional health as a constant nagging of unexplained residual anxiety during a period in my life when everything had been pretty rosy, and in my mental health as habitual negative thought patterns relating to my self-worth.

Less than 24 hours in, I stood in front of you in a flood of tears. It was one of the most vulnerable moments in my whole life. I talked about some icky things that had happened for me over the years, and how I felt ashamed of myself. And through this one singular conversation, you helped me see something so obvious that it was hiding in plain sight – I’d been holding myself to a ridiculous standard of perfection in a quest for redemption and forgiveness, not understanding that the only forgiveness I needed was from myself.

A question “how can I be more loving towards myself in this moment?” began to develop, and it’s followed me back home.

The power of being seen and held safely in an energy free of judgement, competition, and hustle is something I wish for every woman.

This was my 4th retreat with you, and I know that the power of your work, facilitation style and impact continues to grow exponentially. Aside from the incredibly special connection I share with you, I would gratefully continue to return to your retreats just to witness your spectacularly calm assuredness and grounding within yourself as you walk amongst us, sprinkling your love on us and dropping truth bombs in equal measure. You are truly someone who walks your path in this world with grace, humanity and compassion.

Kinsey

This is exactly what I needed to do and exactly where I needed to be. The past few days I connected with a much greater force. I opened my mind, heart and soul – in their fullest capacity – to the spiritual world and for that, I experienced things I could never even have imagined experiencing. Most importantly – I connected with myself on a deeper level than I ever have before, and one I can now admit I’ve been avoiding for a very long time. I’ve had minimal experience in meditation, and zero in spiritual healing – but I opened myself up to a myriad of new experiences and for that I am eternally grateful at what I achieved. This year I became extremely overwhelmed in many facets of my life. I admitted defeat in that I was burnt out, I questioned myself, my career and where / who I’m devoting my time to. And for the first time – I questioned me. Who I was. What I’ve come to realise is that it’s evident to me that I’m only now starting to discover who I really am. My true self. And after the past four days of some solid workshops & time out, I’m at peace with that and discovering who she is and the life she wants to lead.

Belinda is someone I’ve followed for many years on Instagram. I resonated with her words, her mindset, her way of living, but mostly her energy I could feel on a daily basis (yes, possible through a phone). I’ve wanted to do a retreat with her for a long time now but found I couldn’t bring myself to be separate from my kids, but also because I was petrified of what I would discover. But I bit the bullet and signed up and returned home an entirely new, enlightened person. Belinda, thank you will never be enough.

Sophie

This retreat is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself! It has given me way more confidence in myself, I don’t care as much about what people think of me and I can happily say I really like myself now and I love who I am becoming! (Courtney shared with us on the first day of the retreat that she didn’t like herself at all so reading that sentence is heart-warming).

Those few days away on retreat in Uki have changed my perspective on life! I experienced things I never would have opened myself up to experiencing in my life before retreat. Sound Healing was a big one for me; something I would never think of partaking in and I absolutely loved it. I also loved the yoga – something I always wanted to try but came up with excuses time and time again…now I’m heading to my first class on Saturday!

I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, Belinda. You say it how it is, no bullshit and that’s exactly what I needed. I have learnt so much from you and I can’t wait to go on retreat again. I truly admire you and aspire to be as strong and kind as you are!

You’ve helped me realise during one of our chats that this is the beginning of my journey and I am working on not overthinking it and trusting the process!

Gymea has a part of my heart. It is such a beautiful and special place. The bonds and friendships that we all formed while we were there has blown me away.

If you are thinking about doing a retreat with Belinda but are nervous/scared or worried. Stop thinking and just do it! There’s not a day that goes past that I don’t reflect on my time on retreat!

Courtney

I was asked by my partner ‘how was it?’ I honestly can’t even put the whole experience into words. There are no words powerful enough to express. I am so truly grateful the universe put you in front of me. You have honestly changed my life!

The tools you have provided me and how I see things different now, it’s incredible. The communities you create and the way you hold a safe space for all of us is like nothing I’ve ever experienced.

Thank you for everything, from deep within my soul, I will have a lifetime of debt to you. You will forever hold a special place in my heart.
