Where Nervous System Work meets Shadow Work for deep whole human transformation

VORTEX [the retreat] stands in a world of its own. Not your typical "love and light" yoga retreat, not a purely personal development retreat - it's a potent combination of science, spirituality, shadow work, nervous system work and everything in the space between [get it 😉]

The retreat you didn’t know you needed.

You’ve been doing everything “right” The journaling. The podcasts. The therapy sessions. The retreats that promised breakthroughs but barely scratched the surface.

And yet? You still feel frayed. Tired of overthinking. Drained from people pleasing. Stuck in old patterns that won’t shift no matter how hard you try.

There’s a version of you waiting on the other side of all this noise - the woman who trusts herself, stops apologising, lets go of control and actually feels alive in her own body.
But no one has shown you how to get there.

Until now.

What to expect:

This is not a “retreat” where you lounge by the pool and go home unchanged.
This is where you come to meet yourself at a depth you didn’t know existed.

Think:
Deep inner connection

Powerful breathwork journeys

Meeting your edges (and realising you won’t break)

Releasing the armour you’ve been carrying for years

Connection with powerhouse women who get it

Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable

Coming home to your body - and out of your head

All while have the fun and laughter you haven’t experienced for years

You’ll be pushed out of your emotional and physical comfort zones. You’ll confront your deepest insecurities. You’ll challenge the patterns that have been running your life.

And on the other side - You’ll feel lighter. Softer. Clearer. Stronger.
Not a “new you” - but more you than you’ve ever been.

What makes VORTEX different?

No cameras, no content. Your most vulnerable moments aren’t my marketing strategy. These spaces are sacred and private. You’ll never see a play by play or any professional footage of what goes on inside.

No vices. These retreats are alcohol, smoking, and vaping free. You meet yourself clean, raw + present.

Depth over surface. This isn’t about temporary highs. It’s about lasting shifts. You will be uncomfortable. Your ego will be triggered. You will wonder why you came. But by the end you’ll be flowing with gratitude for yourself for finally facing the sh*t you’ve been avoiding

VORTEX retreats are selective. Spaces are limited.

Is this for you?

VORTEX isn’t for everyone - and that’s intentional.

It is for the woman who’s:

Tired of feeling like she’s “done all the work” but still ends up in the same cycles.

Ready to stop numbing out with busyness, perfectionism or “being fine”

Craving depth, connection and an environment that will actually challenge her - not just give her a temporary dopamine hit

Brave enough to get uncomfortable and meet the parts of herself she usually avoids.

And if you’re thinking…


  • You haven’t done one like this. This isn’t surface level or about a quick fix - it’s about going deeper than you ever have before, with tools and experiences that actually shift patterns.

  • You’ll never feel ready. That’s the point. Transformation happens when you step in before you think you can handle it.

  • Coming solo is an intentional part of this retreat. Every woman arrives with the same fear. Within hours, you’ll feel more seen, supported and connected than you have in years.

  • Totally get it. But here’s the thing: alcohol numbs and blurs the very edges we’re here to meet. This isn’t forever - it’s just a few days of showing up raw, real and fully present. You’ll be surprised how much deeper you can go without reaching for a glass.

  • It is an investment. But so is staying stuck, burnt out and living on autopilot. The cost of not doing this work - in your health, relationships, energy, and peace - is way higher. And payment plans are available to make it work for you.

  • Nope. They don’t. They just hide it well, like you do. Within 24 hours you’ll realise everyone’s carrying something and no one’s as shiny as they look online.

  • Cool - then don’t. Nobody’s here to force a circle of “tell us your trauma” You can sit in silence the whole time if you want. But usually once your guard drops you’ll realise how good it feels to stop pretending and actually be heard.

  • You won’t be surviving on bland processed snacks or green juice cleanses. Every meal is whole, nourishing food designed to fuel your body, mind and energy for the work you’ll be doing. Special dietary needs? Just let us know - we’ll make it work.

  • Stop lying to yourself. There will always be a reason not to go. Work, kids, money - excuses don’t change your life. This is happening now. [Lovingly] show up or stay stuck.
