The Me First Retreat

A Therapeutic Nervous System Reset for Women Who Carry a Lot

6th - 8th March 2026

At Oasis Wellness Centre, Port Stephens

SECURE MY PLACE

📍 Rainforest & Ocean | Near Newcastle Airport | 1 hour north of Newcastle

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

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL WELLNESS RETREAT

This is a therapeutic, multi-layered retreat working emotionally, physically, energetically, and relationally to bring your system back into alignment.

You will be guided.
You will be held.
You will not be managing yourself.

SECURE MY PLACE

This Is a Therapeutic Retreat, Not a “Feel Good” Getaway

The ME FIRST Retreat is grounded in:

nervous system regulation
somatic therapy
hypnotherapy
inner child and parts work
family systems & energetic order

We work from the inside out.

This means:

your body softens before your mind understands
emotional relief arrives without forcing insight
change integrates instead of wearing off on Monday

This is why women leave steadier and fulfilled.

THE TRANSFORMATION

By the end of the weekend, women commonly experience:

a settled, quieter body
less emotional reactivity at home
clearer boundaries without guilt
restored capacity to give without depletion
a felt sense of “I’m back inside myself”

This is about restoring order so your system can function the way it’s meant to and all your relationship THRIVE!

Reserve My Spot

There is Depth & there is Play

Part of restoring balance is letting joy, creativity, and play come back online.

You’ll be gently invited into:

simple art and expression
curiosity instead of pressure
pleasure without productivity
moments where your nervous system remembers safety

This is how aliveness returns.
Permission to express all of you.

Nature That Does the Work With Us

The retreat is held where rainforest meets the ocean,

and conveniently located near Newcastle Airport. We will happily come and collect you from the airport if required.

Close enough to feel easy.
Far enough to let your system truly exhale.

YES, PLEASE

This retreat is for women who:

are capable, loving, and responsible
feel emotionally stretched thin
are ready to stop living on the edges of themselves
want real, embodied change, not another insight

Hi, I’m Lucy

I’ve spent nearly two decades working therapeutically with women, families, and nervous systems.

I know what it means to carry a lot and what it takes to restore order so life becomes livable again.

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

Women often tell me they feel:

safe without explanation
calmer without trying
changed in ways that quietly reshape their lives

That’s the work I’ll be holding here.

If something in you is responding to this,
it’s because your system is ready for something different.

I’d be honoured to hold you in this work.

If you would prefer to have a phone chat with me before making this decision. Please book a free call in here: Services | Lucy Ellis

“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.”
