Holistic Bodyworker Retreat
April 28th to May 3rd 2027
Become the Practitioner Your Clients Have Been Waiting For
Six Days, Five Nights in the breathtaking Noosa Hinterland
Some trainings teach you technique. This one asks you to become the container for the work itself.
Set across forty four private acres in the Noosa hinterland, this retreat brings together professional bodywork education and genuine restoration, so you leave not only certified, but regulated, resourced, and ready to hold space for others in a completely different way.
You will train in anatomy and physiology, myofascial and fascial release, Swedish and deep tissue technique, breathwork, and integrated Reiki, building toward one outcome: the ability to offer your clients a truly holistic massage, one that moves through the body and the nervous system at the same time.
This is education. It is also a homecoming to why you started this work in the first place.
Investment: $6,000 AUD $5500 AUD Early Bird Offer
A $500 deposit secures your place. Once your deposit is in, you can arrange your remaining payments over time, so this stays accessible without asking you to pay it all at once.
🌙 Where You Will Stay
Forty four acres of Noosa hinterland, held quietly around you for six days:
- A dedicated yoga studio for your morning practice
- Steam room
- Pool
- Full kitchen, with every meal prepared for you
- Space to actually exhale between sessions, not just move from one thing to the next
🌄Your Days, Held by Sarah
Mornings and evenings are guided by Sarah, who has hosted retreats for twenty years and brings that experience into every part of your day. Sarah leads your yoga and breathwork each morning, your sound bath sessions, and your evening wind down, and she is also the hands behind the menu.
Expect food that matches the intention of the week. Think stewed apples with sourdough and spreads, a self serve fruit table, and lunches and dinners that are as considered as the training itself. All meals are included, every day, for the full six days.
✨What Is Included
- Six days, five nights accommodation in the Noosa hinterland
- Full Holistic Bodyworker course tuition and Certificate of Completion
- Daily yoga and breathwork
- Evening sound bath sessions
- All meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, for the full retreat
- Use of the steam room, pool, and yoga studio
- Small group setting for genuine hands on learning and connection
A Note Before We Open Bookings
This retreat only goes ahead once eight practitioners have committed. If you have felt the pull toward this work, toward deeper skill, toward a week that actually restores you while you train, this is your invitation to be one of the eight.
Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the group small and the learning genuinely hands on. Your $500 deposit holds your place while we confirm the retreat.
