Nurture Yourself!
I have partnered up with Emma Ferris from The Breath Effect and Camp Glenorchy to bring you a very special four-day women’s wellness retreat to nourish, reset and renew.
Whether you are looking to jump start a new health routine or you want to add a pause in your life to breathe and reconnect to yourself. Escape your busy life and give yourself the gift of time with other like minded women seeking health and balance.
Through breath training, Yoga, movement, mindfulness, Pilates, relaxation, healthy food and journaling, Emma and Sarsha will guide you through the small changes you can make right now that will have a big impact on your health and wellness in the future.
What our customers had to say;
“I think all women would benefit from this retreat. We had such a broad range of women from all walks of life and I believe that’s part of what made the retreat so special. It was an eye-opener at how our lives might be completely different but we share so many of the same hopes and fears.”

What people are saying about our Women’s retreats
“Thank you for this amazing experience! To be with these beautiful women (both physically and spiritually) if very powerful. To be able to take the time to truly listen to ones inner self in such a safe environment is priceless and for this I am filled with gratitude. My job is to carry my immense sense of gratitude forward with me everyday and to spread my gratitude just as the swan moves forward on the lake and you see the ripple effect of the water spreading behind him. I am truly grateful. Thank you”
“I feel a strong sense of love and peace. It has been a privilege to escape the outside world for a few days to fully immerse in this time of learning, relaxing, nurturing, abundant environment. Oh and breathe. Thank you.” –
“Thank you for creating a safe space where our feminine energy can be free. This experience has given me the time, the space, the guidance to find my way back to me. And when I leave I have the tools to breathe, move and love so that I can keep hold of me.” – April 2018
