The Me First Retreat

For women ready to reset themselves from the inside out

6th - 8th March 2026

At Oasis Wellness Centre, Port Stephens

SECURE MY PLACE

Where your nervous system settles, love falls back into order, and life becomes easier to carry.

THERE IS RELIEF

You Can Live From a Settled, Steady Centre

Experience how to restore order in your body and life so you can:

Move through your days without constant internal pressure.
Come back into right relationship with yourself.
Let giving and receiving fall back into balance.
Stop carrying what isn’t yours.
Live from a grounded centre instead of survival mode.

Yes, It Really Is Possible!

At the ME FIRST Retreat, you’ll experience how to settle your nervous system and take your life back into your own hands.

SECURE MY PLACE

During the retreat, you’ll experience…

your body slowly unclenching as the noise drops away
long stretches where you’re not needed, pulled, or responsible
the relief of being with women who get it.
moments of stillness where your breath deepens on its own
being guided, held, and led so you don’t have to think or manage
laughter, softness, truth, without pressure to perform
a sense of time slowing down enough for things to actually land

You won’t be “doing the work” all weekend.
The work will be happening to you, gently, naturally, in the right order.

Take A Moment

Is This You Right Now?

You’re capable.
You’re loving.
You’re holding a lot.

And you can feel that the way you’ve been living — pushing through, managing everything, holding it all together, isn’t sustainable anymore.

The ME FIRST Retreat is for women who are ready to stop living on the edges of themselves
and start living from a settled, steady centre.

This retreat will support you to:

calm your nervous system without checking out of your life
stop over-functioning in your family and relationships
feel steadier in your body, even when things are messy
give and receive without guilt or resentment
live in a way that actually supports the life you’re already living

It’s about changing the way you’re carrying your life.

With the right conditions, the right support, and the right order,
your system remembers how to settle, and everything else follows.

What The Me First Retreat Includes...

Resetting the Whole System

This is the heart of the retreat.

re-establishing your centre, practically, emotionally, and energetically.

You’ll be guided through embodied, experiential work that gently unwinds:

chronic nervous system activation
emotional load you’ve been carrying for too long
over-giving and energy leaks
blurred boundaries and self-abandonment
the constant feeling of living on edge

This is not talk-about-it work.
It’s in-the-body, settling, integrating work.

The kind that changes:

how connected you feel in your relationships
how you show up in your life.
how you make decisions
how much fulfilled and gooey you feel about your life.

You’ll finish the retreat nourished, grounded, and noticeably steadier & back inside yourself.

Power, Balance & the Return of the Woman

The 8th Of March is International Women's Day!

We will be having a special celebration on the morning of the last day of your retreat.

After a few big insights and your nervous system gooey, we will be high vibe celebrating the sacredness of being a woman.

The full power of us
Our hearts and our minds and our amazing contributions in the world

It will be the best way to end the retreat and step back into our lives.

This is where things lock in.

Nature, Space & Nervous System Relief

The retreat is held where rainforest meets the ocean, with the beach just a 500-metre walk away.

There is intentional space built into the experience:

time to walk along the beach
time to read, rest, or be quiet
time to do nothing without guilt

You’ll also be gently invited into simple, grounding art and expression practices, to let your system settle and your unique expression come back online.

This is about giving your body the conditions it needs to:

downshift
soften
and recalibrate naturally

Plenty of room to just be.

Nourishment, Comfort & Being Held

You’ll be nourished in the most practical sense too.

Throughout the retreat you’ll enjoy:

delicious, wholesome, nutrient-dense meals
simple, communal dining that feels connecting, not overwhelming.
optional massage treatments if you choose (not included in ticket price)

Accommodation is spacious and considered:

choose your own private room, or
share a large room with two other guests, with plenty of space and privacy

Everything about the container is designed to help your system feel:

safe
unhurried
supported

So you can rest, integrate, and receive without needing to manage or perform.

It Makes Sense That You’re Here

If you’ve been holding it together for a long time…
if you’re tired of pushing through…
if you can feel your body asking for something different…

Of course this speaks to you.

This retreat is about experiencing your beautiful life with richness and connection and a happy soul

I CHOOSE ME

NICE TO MEET YOU

I’m Lucy

I’ve spent nearly two decades working with women, families, and nervous systems, helping people find steadiness, clarity, and a way back to themselves when life feels too much.

I’m a therapist, hypnotherapist, and family constellations facilitator but more than that, I’m someone who understands what it means to carry a lot.

I work with women who are capable, loving, and deeply devoted to their families, and quietly exhausted from holding everything together.

My work is about restoring order, in the body, in relationships, and in the way a woman moves through her life.

Why this retreat exists

Over the years, I’ve watched the same pattern again and again:

Women don’t need more insight.
They need their systems to settle.

They need space to come back into themselves not just mentally, but emotionally and physically, so the changes they make actually last.

The ME FIRST Retreat was created to offer exactly that:

a calm, well-held container
practical and embodied work
depth without overwhelm
integration that shows up at home

This isn’t about escaping your life.
It’s about learning how to live it from a steadier centre.

How I hold this work

I work slowly, precisely, and with deep respect for the nervous system.

The women who come into my spaces often say they feel:

safe
deeply seen
calmer without trying
changed in ways they can’t quite explain, but feel every day

That’s the work.

A final word from me

If you’re feeling drawn to this retreat, there’s usually a good reason.

Not because something is wrong,
but because something in you knows it’s time to live differently.

I’d be honoured to hold that space with you.

“Lucy is like a giant exhale in my body. I didn’t realise how much I was holding until I worked with her.”

“She is so good at what she does. I felt safe, steady, and completely myself in her space.”

“Best gift I’ve ever given myself. The way I show up at home and in my life is genuinely different now.”
