DAY 2 ✨ MOTIVATING-ME WOMEN’S WELLNESS RETREAT
What a day this was!
We woke to the most beautiful morning at Rangitata Rafting Lodge and started our day with a walk, followed by gentle stretching — fresh air, movement and no rush.
Then it was time to nourish our bodies with a hearty breakfast before heading out onto the deck for a strength workout in the sunshine.
24 degrees, birds chirping around us, surrounded by nature… honestly, could we have asked for a better setting?
Morning tea followed, then we moved into our first workshop of the day — nutrition.
Lunch was a beautiful frittata, catering for our coeliac and dairy-free ladies, alongside a make-your-own salad.
Then came something I think we all needed…
90 minutes of absolutely NOTHING scheduled.
Women fell asleep on the lawn in the sun, napped on their beds, coloured in, explored Peel Forest, chatted… or simply sat and were.
I actually had to go and wake some of them up for our next workshop!
The afternoon continued with a session on mindset, followed by a light afternoon tea and another session where I shared more about Motivating-Me and the different ways I can continue to support these women beyond the retreat.
And then… we switched off.
Smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, music and plenty of conversation before our interactive dinner — make-your-own pizzas in pairs!
Games followed, the fire was roaring, friendships were forming and there was SO much laughter.
And then there was the road cone! If you know, you know. You definitely had to be there for that one! 🚧🤣
I remember looking around the room at one point and thinking…
Is this actually happening?
20 women, ranging from their 30s to mid-70s, brought together for one weekend — moving, learning, resting, eating, laughing and connecting.
It was one of those moments where I genuinely could have pinched myself.
Day Two was everything I had hoped this retreat would be.
And we still had one more day to go… look out tomorrow for that post ❄️!

DAY ONE 🌿 | Motivating-Me Women’s Wellness Retreat
A little snippet of where our weekend began…
20 incredible women, ranging in age from their 30s right through to their mid-70s, came together at beautiful Peel Forest for three days of moving, resetting, nourishing and reconnecting.
Day One started with nibbles on arrival and a chance to settle in, followed by our welcome session and first workshop — Reset Your Routine.
Then it was dinner, an evening reflection and a chilled night together and it was pretty special watching the connections and new friendships already beginning to form.
Different ages. Different stages of life. Different reasons for being there. But all taking some time out for themselves.
And that was only Day One…
Day Two coming tomorrow!

Apparently being slightly obsessed with organising + being a health & fitness coach = creating a Women’s Wellness Retreat!
And it’s FULLY SOLD OUT!
This weekend, 20 incredible women are coming together for three days of movement, workshops, good food, relaxation, connection and a whole lot of resetting.
I absolutely LOVE putting things like this together… so I think it’s safe to say this won’t be the last one!
2027 WOMEN’S WELLNESS RETREAT dates coming soon!
