DAY RETREATS - NELSON
Below are four in-person day retreat topics delivered in Nelson at Fairfield House, 48 Van Diemen Street. Each day runs from 10am to 4pm and is designed to be practical and grounded, giving you space to step back while learning tools you can use in real life. You will experience guided coaching, practical exercises, and reflection in a calm and supportive setting.
The day includes a nourishing vegetarian lunch, refreshments, a workbook to take home, and a post-retreat one on one check in. These are not therapy sessions or escape days, but focused, structured days to help you think clearly, stay steady, and handle everyday life better.
Take time to reset, refocus, and invest in how you show up every day.


Reset & Steady: When You Can’t Switch Off
Practical Tools to Calm Your Nervous System
A practical day retreat to help you slow your thinking, understand your nervous system, and feel more in control in everyday life
What this day is about
This is not about escaping stress for a few hours.
It’s about learning how to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control even when life doesn’t slow down.
You’ll understand what’s happening in your body when you feel overwhelmed, and more importantly, what to do about it in the moment.
What you’ll experience
-
A clear, simple understanding of how your nervous system works
-
Practical tools to slow your thinking in real time
-
Guided exercises to manage mental overload and reduce reactivity
-
Coaching to help you respond more calmly under pressure
-
A structured space to pause, reset, and build awareness
What’s included
-
Nourishing vegetarian lunch and refreshments
-
A practical workbook to take home
-
A post retreat one on one check in to support your progress
Why come
Because pushing through isn’t working anymore. You don’t need another break, you need tools that actually help you switch off and think clearly in your day to day life.
Who this is for
People who are constantly “on”, overthinking, or feeling mentally overloaded - even when everything looks fine on the outside.

Burnout Recovery: A Quiet, Guided Retreat
A Day of Deep Rest and Restoration
A quieter, slower-paced day retreat focused on recovery, nervous system regulation, and restoring your energy in a way that actually lasts
What this day is about
This is not a typical retreat filled with activities or constant talking.
It is a structured quiet day designed to help your system slow down properly.
If you feel tired even after resting, it is often because your body has not fully come out of stress mode. This day gives you the space and guidance to reset that, without pressure or expectation.
What you’ll experience
-
Stepping out of constant stimulation and slowing everything down
-
Time for quiet reflection, reading, or simply being
-
Gentle, guided practices to support recovery
-
Understanding how to restore energy without pushing through
-
A calm, structured environment where you do not need to perform or keep up
What’s included
-
Nourishing vegetarian lunch and refreshments
-
A practical workbook to take home
-
A post retreat one on one check in to support your progress
Why come
Because resting alone has not been enough.
You might be taking breaks, sleeping more, or slowing down at times, but still feeling tired, wired, or drained.
This is a different kind of reset. One that helps your system actually recover, not just pause.
Who this is for
People who feel constantly tired, mentally drained, or close to burnout, even when they are trying to rest.

People who want a more grounded and consistent way to support their energy, digestion, and overall wellbeing without extremes or quick fixes.

The Follow Through Retreat
Master Discipline. Build Consistency. Get Results.
A practical day retreat to help you build discipline, patience, and consistency so you can actually follow through and create real change
What this day is about
This is not about motivation or setting more goals.
It is about understanding why you stop, delay, or lose consistency even when you know exactly what needs to be done.
You will look at your own patterns, where things drop off, and what gets in the way. From there, you will build simple ways to follow through that work in your real life, not just for a few days.
What you’ll experience
-
Clarity on why you are not following through
-
Awareness of where things tend to drop off
-
Simple, realistic habits that fit your life
-
Practising making decisions and acting on them
-
Coaching to build consistency without burnout
What’s included
-
Nourishing vegetarian lunch and refreshments
-
A practical workbook to take home
-
A post retreat one on one check in to support your progress
Why come
Because knowing is not the problem.
Doing it consistently is. Especially when life gets busy, motivation drops, or things feel uncomfortable.
This day helps you stop starting over and start following through.
Who this is for
People who start with good intentions but struggle to stay consistent, follow through, or turn plans into action.
