Personal Narrative Intuitive Healing Retreat

I recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing to ensure maximum relaxation during your retreat.

Be prepared to go deep, have fun and be taken care of! To make the most out of your experience, come with an open mind and bring your questions and curiosity.

Please know that emotions may arise during the retreat, but this is a safe space to explore. All and any emotions are welcome.

Please bring:

• Special items that are important to you, like sentimental memorabilia or a family photo.
• A journal or something special to write with.
• Your own water bottle.
• Any other special items that will enhance your experience.

Absolutely. I can adjust the healing retreat process to cater to individual needs and movements that are suitable for your body or personal requirements.

I recommend drinking plenty of water and taking time to rest and recharge. I also advise scheduling the retreat on a day when you do not have any important events to attend afterwards! The ideal post retreat activities are calm, nurturing and comfortable.

This is a 3-hour spiritual healing retreat, booked at a time that is mutually convenient.

As well as guiding, facilitating, and holding space for you, I provide some relaxing sustenance, tailored to your individual dietary needs.

We will break at least once, depending on the flow. This is your time and space. My goal is for you to experience feeling understood, heard, and held in a deeply restorative way.

I love essential oils, but if you have any sensitivities, please let me know.

Yes, we can do a payment plan for this intuitive healing retreat!

As well as the usual pay-up-front option. We can stage your payments with the option of three installments. Please ensure that payment is made in full prior to our meeting time. If you have any other requirements, please ask!

Narrative therapy is a therapeutic approach that delves into your life story, empowering you to take ownership of their narrative.

With narrative therapy, you are free to express your story, in your own words, at your own pace, and in your own unique way, with a non-judgmental witness to hold space.

We address your internalised identity perceptions, which may cover culture, gender, family, career, race, abilities and disabilities, aging, how we look, who we are in the world, and more. I work with women of all cultural and racial backgrounds.

Together, we will identify your dominant world view and use techniques such as Family Mapping to gain a better understanding of where those stories are stuck in your body.

Sometimes I call journaling dumping! Journaling is gives you the opportunity to bring your feelings and thoughts up and out of the body, witnessed and without judgement. It is a way to chronical your journey through the healing process.

I tailor this to you. You can sit down, or lie down. You can choose themes, then journal on these themes. If you don’t want to write, you can draw or paint or colour, or put a song or movement to it. If you are uncomfortable with this I can scribe and we will choose phrases and we pull them together.

To intuit something is a knowing. To intuit what is in the body is to see, feel, notice, connect, and acknowledge what is in the body. Connecting and getting out of our own way. We work with breathing first, expanding the heart front to back, allowing what needs to come through.

Intuitive healing bodywork takes trust, for some, we may decide not to do this in the first session if you need more time. We go at your pace and comfort level.

This healing retreat can be liberating for women suffering with depression, procrastination, trauma, unworthiness, invisibility, abandonment, anxiety, overwhelm, imposter syndrome, immobility, lack of trust in self and lack or trust in others.

Age is a common story that comes up for my clients, stories around age and ageing. What does it mean to be a 40, 50 or 60+ year-old woman? What does the world tell me that it means to be old or older? What will be my legacy?

Mothering/caring is another story, many women are mothering or taking care of people in later stages of life. Some people start out as nurturers, how does that impact your life? Am I selfish if I take care of myself?

Another common story is body changes and sex, sexuality & intimacy. What it means to be in partnership and what it means to partner with yourself. How does your relationship with self, impact other relationships in your life?

There are more mantras than I can count… “everyone leaves me,” “nobody loves me,” “I will never be good enough,” “I am not smart enough,” “I am a late bloomer,” “I am behind,” “I should be at this stage by now.”

Together we will recognise and release your mantras of disillusionment, unhappiness and not feeling seen.

During our sessions, my clients commonly report feeling seen, heard, held, validated, grounded, safe, and more vulnerable and trusting.

In their lives, they report feeling transformed, powerful, confident, and the experience of hearing their voice for the first time. They feel they can confront things they had been avoiding.

They also feel stronger in self and in their communities, and being seen differently in their community, because they can hold the transformation when stepping back into old family situations.

In this retreat, we combine therapeutic tools with spiritual guidance. I call on ancestral lineage when I work on a spiritual level, because we are doing family of origin work. So you would need to be comfortable with spiritual exploration, even if it is new to you.

We look at ancestral lineage, the system that has held you up to this point and where parts of that system are dysfunctional and limiting your potential.

Even if you are estranged from your family, there is an integration that happens in this work that allows you to feel whole even if your family is fragmented. It is powerful to witness.
