What we offer

Is this Retreat for you?

We want to welcome you to a nurturing, relaxing, and empowering experience before your little one lands on the earth. We host this unique experience in the lush hinterland of Byron Bay, NSW, easter coast of Australia. This Retreat will put together several professional figures that gravitate around the sphere of motherhood, meant to enrich and support your stay.

What to expect

Highlights of the Retreat

The morning starts with a prenatal yoga practice, a soft class that allows you to choose if you need to move your body or rest, depending on how you feel on the day. We encourage you to focus on opening the pelvic area, deepening on letting go, and surrender leading up to birth. The pranayama techniques that will be offered to you are targeted at relaxing your mind and body and preparing you for labor.

Remedial Yoga gives you autonomy in your practice for what is supportive for overall health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual). Whether you are currently recovering from injury, or navigating a particular pregnancy with special needs then Remedial Yoga can support you in finding and honouring what you CAN do rather than focusing on what you can’t do. It challenges you to grow in a safe & supportive environment.  

Our in-house midwife will hold a session that will prepare you for birth and labor, by understanding the birth’s stages and different scenarios that can unfold, moreover how you can relieve discomfort during surges. our in-house doula will prepare you for the postpartum period on nutrition principles and how to create a support web around you in this tender time.

Yoga Nidra & sound healing are such powerful tools to rewire your subconscious fear and triggers and clear blockages and help you focus on relaxation and enter the surrounding realm of the birth altar. There is also the possibility to book your private session with our sound healer.

Being able to perform CPR and be updated with current first aid trends are so important in preventing accidents, not just for when a baby starts solids but also for being up-to-date on what the regulations in place, how to treat wounds, and bruises, and how to create a safe environment home.

Our founder Martina will guide you through thoughtful journaling exercises to deepen the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects that a woman goes through in the transformational journey that is becoming a mother (first time, second time… etc). 

Our catering will provide a fresh, nourishing meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner besides delicious healthy dessert! In the kitchen, you can always find fresh seasonal fruits, hearty snacks, infusions, and fresh drink options. You will also have the possibility to store your necessities in the kitchen’s fridge house.

Two weeks prior to the retreat starting date you are invited to meet the team and the rest of the guests’ mamas, an opportunity to ask questions, familiarise yourself with what’s coming, and set up your intention (1 hour roughly).

An invitation to soften, to move and let go, the ecstatic dance is a surrendering practice, a validation of your feelings through the expression of the body, a celebration of the woman’s body in a sacred protected space. The Mother’s Blessing it’s a celebration of the magic created when women gather, together, in a circle: an inspiring healing moment of connection, self-growth, self-love and healing
