WOW - All the Feels

I wanted to share my experience with the recent retreat, as I wasn't entirely sure what to expect having never participated in anything like it before.

It truly was a wonderful way to spend a few days with like-minded women who, like me, were feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of daily life. I felt safe enough to explore emotions that I ordinarily wouldn't allow myself to deal with, and additional experiences, such as the Sound Bowl Healing, were absolutely incredible and blew me away.

The reset I experienced on this retreat was wildly unexpected. I was able to sit and make some real goals for my foreseeable future.

If you are considering attending but are unsure if it would benefit you, or if you know you need to make some changes in your life, I highly recommend diving right in. Allow yourself to be immersed in the healing environment of Ubud, guided by Sarah through the entire journey, and surrender to the experience. Read More

The Work Wives

In July this year I was lucky enough the Work Wives Womens Retreat at the Soulshine Resort in Ubud Bali.

I’d been secretly wondering how I was going to survive a Melbourne winter, and eyeing off the retreats thinking to myself ‘maybe next year’.

On a whim one night when I couldn't sleep, I entered the online comp the Work Wives were running, tagging my mate Jenna joking ‘If i win, I’m taking you’.
Imagine my surprise (and superlatives in my lounge room!) when I saw in my lil' inbox that I had won!

In hindsight it was the universe's way of telling me something had to give, and throwing me a bone (hands up if you forgot your toothbrush and packed like a 12 year old boy!) the retreat was the right mix of 'work' (on yourself and your goals), rest (lots of time to chill and explore, do yoga, and other activities) and play (beautiful and fun moments to relax, enjoy the amazing surrounds with a cocktail and chat!)

What transpired was three wonderful days where I met some incredible women, had a chance to start thinking about what I really wanted out of the next 12 months, and to just stop. AND play a bit of music to a small but amazing audience!
Thank you Anna and Sarah (and Amy and the crew of amazing women), it’s going to be hard to top that for my first trip to Bali. Read More

The ultimate me time

I was a little hesitant about going on a retreat - it was new territory for me. What I didn’t expect was to walk away so fulfilled - personally and professionally. Sarah and Anna make you feel like family instantly (complete with a personal welcome in my room… but we don’t have to talk about that…!) and the friendships I’ve made here will last a lifetime. If you’re wondering if you should go - trust me - go! The retreat for me was the ultimate me time, and I cannot wait to go back in 2025! 🥰🫶🏽 Read More

Why The Work Wives Retreat Was Exactly What I Needed

Attending The Work Wives Celebrant Retreat at Soulshine Bali honestly was a transformative experience. In a remote (yet totally luxurious) location in Ubud, this retreat offered the perfect sanctuary to escape the demands of everyday life and focus solely on myself. As a busy mum, finding time to pause and reflect is rare, but this retreat provided that and so much more.

The retreat was a beautiful blend of introspection and connection. The workshops were thoughtfully designed, each one building upon the last. This wasn’t just about becoming a better celebrant—it was about becoming a better human. The space created by Anna and Sarah was filled with warmth, support, and the freedom to explore who I am and where I want to be in the coming year.

The optional activities, like morning yoga, a sound bowl healing session, and a reading with an Intuitive Healer, added layers of relaxation and insight that I didn’t even know I needed. If I'm honest, I’m not normally one to embrace the “woo” but embrace it I did- and loved it! And let’s not forget the food—it was absolutely outstanding, nourishing both body and soul.

I left Soulshine Bali with my cup completely filled and energised. I’m already planning to return in 2025 because this experience was unlike anything I’ve ever done before.

A heartfelt thank you to Anna and Sarah for curating such a transformative retreat. Your ability to create a space where we could all grow, reflect, and connect was truly magical.

If you’re considering attending, don’t hesitate—this retreat is a must!

A Glow Up For The Soul

You have reminded me, that 'retreat' is actually a verb.

Together, and with the gorgeous staff at Soulshine, you have created a safe space to revisit myself and my values. A space to breathe and relax and recooperate and focus on what is most important to me.

As someone who is always out there looking after others, it is such a rare privilege to be able to come along to an event, that is curated with so much love, by someone else who holds my wellness and growth at the centre of their planning.

This is my second time coming to a Work Wives retreat, and I can say with certainty, it won't be my last.

Sarah and Anna you have outdone yourselves. You are absolutely golden, and I appreciate you so so much.
