The ultimate Wellbeing Retreat

11th - 14th November

It’s July 2025, and the year is already in full swing. Work, training, commitments—all the things that make life rich but also exhausting. Before you know it, the holiday season will be here. But this year, let’s do it differently.

There are moments in life when the right place, the right experience, and the right people come together to create something truly extraordinary. This is one of those moments.

For over 30 years, I have dedicated my life to wellness, movement, and transformation, guiding high-performing individuals through the art of balance, strength, and deep restoration. I have taught yoga across continents, coached leaders through burnout, and curated retreats that go beyond relaxation—they create lasting change. And now, I have the privilege of hosting a deeply personal, high-level retreat at one of the most remarkable wellness sanctuaries in the world - Soma Byron Bay.

This is more than a retreat; it’s a rare intersection of the right teacher, the perfect space, and a pivotal moment in your life. You may recognize Soma from Nine Perfect Strangers, but beyond its cinematic beauty, it is a 22-acre sanctuary designed for profound renewal. Here, in this extraordinary space, we will recalibrate your nervous system, reconnect you with your body, and lay the foundation for deep, lasting vitality.

The Yoga Space

You will start each day with a beautiful sunrise meditation practice, followed by an energising slow flow/vinyasa yoga class in Soma’s yoga dome where we will delve deep and expand our practice and awareness throughout the duration of the retreat. After class, you’ll be served a scrumptious breakfast filled with organic produce.

Alongside the movement practices, I’ll also be running wellness talks specifically designed for the stage of life we’re in - think hormones, sleep, energy, stress, and vitality as we age. We’ll also explore the power of your breath: you’ll learn simple, science-backed breathwork tools to help calm your nervous system, improve your sleep, and shift your stress response. This retreat is about more than just yoga - it’s a full reset for your body, mind, and the next chapter of your life.

Nestled in the lush hinterland of Byron Bay, Soma is the kind of place that instantly makes you exhale. Just arriving here invites your shoulders to drop and your nervous system to settle. Designed as a true sanctuary for restoration, Soma blends sleek modern architecture with warmth and soul - creating the perfect backdrop to slow down and reconnect.

Surrounded by 22 acres of stunning forest with thousands of native plant species, you’ll have space to roam, reflect, and simply be. Take a dip in the freshwater infinity pool, wander through the trees, or sweat it out gently in the red light sauna. Whether you’re craving stillness or inspiration, this space holds you - and helps you refill your cup in every way.

This retreat is a chance to reconnect with yourself, surrounded by a supportive group of women. Each day, you’ll move, reflect, and find moments of clarity. It’s about embracing your strength, discovering new energy, and leaving with a renewed sense of balance

Amber’s retreat was exactly what I needed—a full reset for my body and mind. The yoga, the setting, the food—everything was incredible. I left feeling stronger, more aligned, and with tools I use daily. Truly one of the best investments in myself. -
