Sam 53yrs - Cleveland QLD

8 Days "Renew You" Private Retreat Sunshine Coast

I came to Renew with a Heavy heart, feeling very flat and really not enjoying my life.

The girls at Renew were very caring, understanding and most of all helpful to my new journey.

Jaye and Jayana were able to get down to the source of the problem's and they have hopefully set me up with a brand new outlook in life.

Everything at the Renew Health Retreat was spot on, yoga, massage, fitness, accommodation and the food was delicious and nutritious.

I would highly recommend attending Renew, to give your life new direction and clarity.

Carolyn 70yrs - Caloundra QLD

8 Days "Renew You" Private Retreat Sunshine Coast

This was a journey, a journey I never thought I would take. :-) One day I was looking through the phonebook for a club. I was feeling so down that day and my eyes immediately went to Renew Health Retreat and it just happened to be a Retreat for Depression and Anxiety, and it was exactly what I needed.

When I rang the phone number, this lovely voice answered the phone and I immediately felt at ease and she told me all about it and I immediately said "yes I will go."

I arrived Anxious and cold and I was immediately sat down on a beautiful couch, covered with a lovely rug and a cup of tea was made for me. I could write forever about my experience, though I only have a limited page.

The learnings took me to a place I never dreamed I would get to, a place where my Anxiety and Depression seemed to disappear. I know that they will come back at times, and I have been taught many tools and strategies to move on from them when they do. I know I need to concentrate on breathing, as it is a very important part of recovery.

My mentors, Jaye and Craig, took me on such a journey that I can go away feeling safe, calm and happy. I know that they are only a phonecall away and their teachings gave me the courage to face life once leaving the retreat. So Thank You Jaye and Craig for giving me my life back! Thank you for the beautiful, comfortable accommodation, surrounded by nature. It really topped it off.

8 Days "Renew Your Life" Private Retreat Bali

I would like to thank Renew Health Retreat for what I have experienced over the past 8 Days in Bali. The way they look after you at the Retreat is outstanding and they make sure your Health comes first. I would like to make a special thankyou to my coaches, as what they taught me over the past 8 days is Life Changing. They always made sure I understood and experienced what was being said and they always took time out to listen to me. They are all just good people.

Once again! Thank you Renew Health Retreat for my Life Changing Experience. Much Appreciation.

Liam 53yrs - Sydney NSW

8 Days "Renew You" Private Retreat Sunshine Coast QLD

I am not sure how I would have coped with my issue without the wisdom of the Renew Health Retreat Program. This has been a life changing experience for me, and I am now excited about my future, and using the tools I have learnt.

The love and care (with a slightly hard nosed approach) was perfect for me on my one on one Program. The food and facilities were excellent. I especially enjoyed the yoga, and the massage was the best I have ever had.

My only regreat is that I did not do the Program a long time ago!

Alex 36yrs - Sydney NSW

8 Days "Renew Your Life" Private Retreat Bali

My initial contact with Renew Health Retreat was very warm, helpful and informative. On arrival in Bali, my accommodation was lovely and the program was so much more than I thought it would be. I loved the fact it was realist and not about 'positive thinking," and that it was methodical and process oriented with a practical constructive process. It also included simple breathing and focus techniques, with a large componant of science to back it up and I believe it has given me some really useful tools and a lot more insight into my habitual coping mechanisms.

My "Renew Your Life" Retreat did everything and more than it was advertised to do, and during the eight days I received all the support and nurturing necessary. I have learnt that I can create new neurological pathways and how to accept that situations can be out of my control. I have also learnt that the more I close the gap between my desires and reality, then the pain I feel will reduce. I would definitely recommend Renew Health Retreat to others and I feel that I received great value for money.

Jo 50yrs - Port Macquarie NSW

12 Days "Renew Your Life" Private Retreat Bali

I found Renew on the internet when I was looking for more than a yoga and mindfulness retreat. I knew I really needed to immerse myself in the psychology of why I was where I was in my life, after many painful years. Renew Health Retreat seemed to offer that.

After just completing a one on one retreat over 12 days, I have resolved so many deep seated issues that have played a huge part of forming my life story. The facilitator (Craig) was equipped with such knowledge, and also came to the table with his own life experiences, he had grown from, which was invaluable.

I would highly recommend Renew Health Retreat, if you have a similar story. It has truly changed my life and the way I want to live.

Imogene 31yrs - Melbourne Vic

7 Days "Renew You" Private Retreat Sunshine Coast

I've learnt things I didn't know were possible. I have hope, awareness, more clarity and tools to help me not just now, but in life. I was reassured that I'm not broken and don't need fixing, and that it is just information to change the way I'm thinking, that is needed. And then this was truly taught and I truly had an experience of this.

I feel nurtured but not pandered to, empowered but grounded, informed but not overwhelmed. This has been invaluable!

Debra 57yrs - Minyama Qld

10 Days "Renew You Life" Private Retreat Bali

I found Renew Health Retreat by chance. I am so glad I went ahead and attended the Retreat. It was much more than I expected.

Aside from the wonderful meals, daily yoga and a few luxurious spa treatments, I found the teaching and learnings of the program, the most beneficial. Be prepared to delve deep within yourself with wonderful guidance and support. The rewards are many. I feel "lighter" and happier than I have for many years.

I have been given the tools to take into my everyday life and how to face situations that arise and see them for what they truly are, not as I wished them to be.

Thank you Jaye and especially Craig for providing this enlightening experience and sharing your knowledge and wisdom with me. I shall be forever grateful.

5 Days "Renew You" Private Retreat Sunshine Coast

I have just finished a 5 Days Private Retreat with Renew Health Retreat. I believe that Renew has been a change that I needed to make in my life. I have been able to recognise my incorrect beliefs and ideas about how life 'should' have been and realise they are not accurate. This has been an invaluable experience that I will take with me throughout the rest of my life and will do my best to practice any tools and strategies I experienced.

10 Days "Renew Your Life" Retreat Bali

When you attend Renew Health Retreat, you are in for a deep time of learning and growth. Jaye and Craig are wonderful guides; supportive and encouraging of your learning, every day of the retreat. The Balinese staff are beautiful and so generous with their time and spirit.

Getting to see and experience the BAlinese culture from the streets, to the mountains, the rice paddies and within the retreat was priceless. Meeting new friends and sharing your experiences of growth with them was also good.

The massages and body treatments were heavenly and all given with great care and attention. The whole of Narasoma is a peaceful, quiet space, perfect for introspection, meditation and relaxation.

Kellie 30yrs - Buderim Qld

10 Days "Renew Your Life" Retreat Bali

Renew Health Retreat in Ubud Bali, is set in a beautiful setting surrounded by the beauty of nature. Upon arrival at the airport, I was greeted with a warm smile by our driver. For someone who felt an enormous amount of anxiety, this put my mind at ease.

Through the 10 days here, I have learnt a great deal about myself and most importantly I have learnt that there is no such thing as "perfect." Things are as they are. I look forward to working with Jaye and her team in the future

Many Thanks Kellie

"I came to the "Renew You" Retreat to help me deal with the loss of my husband to suicide. Jaye helped to uncover some beliefs and concerns that I had regarding his death and I have gained so much more. I feel that I can move forward in a positive way that will enrich my life and my childrens lives. I have tools to help me with daily stressors and with those issues that have built up over the years. I feel that I am able to achieve a balance in my life that I have never truly had before. I am so grateful for the opportunity to experience this retreat and for the genuine way that Jaye cares for me and my learning."

Brett (affectionately known as Buddha) - Maryborough

12 Days "Renew Your Life" Retreat Bali

" Everything has been a wonderful and amazing experience . I liked being met upon arrival at the airport, as it was my first time in Bali." What I had heard on the media about Bali and how Bali was was two totally different things. I received a true Balinese experience and left with a new perspective of the Balinese people, their culture, their lifestyle and their gentle, nurturing natures.

I learnt so much about myself and was lucky enough to share this experience with my wife. We gained a new understanding of ourselves and each other and we can't wait to implement what we learned and experienced at Renew Health Retreat and we can't wait to come back to share Bali with our son.

12 Days "Renew Your Life" Retreat Bali

"I arrived at Renew Health Retreat in Bali hoping to leave: cured from my addictions, with my head screwed on the right way, glowing with health, happy and transformed. this is a tall order for anyone.

Through a holistic program including exercise, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, clean eating, massage, one on one coaching and a program that really helps to make sense of this crazy world, Jaye delivers the goods.

I was hard on the outside and soft on the inside and I liken the outer shell to that of a crysallis with the soft inside waiting be transformed into a pure, free, content, beautiful butterfly. I've spent my life as a crysallis but through Jaye's program and her many shared life experiences, I transformed and Jaye has given me hope."

Donna 54 - Howard Springs Darwin NT

12 Days "Renew Your Life" Retreat Bali

Renew Health Retreat is set in the beautiful surrounds of Ubud Bali, which has an amazing peaceful energy of itself. The Retreat has given me the inner knowing that I can produce a happier and more fullfulling life for myself! I have learnt that my mind, body and spirit are interconnected and to understand myself through techniques learnt at the Retreat.

When I arrived at Renew, I was in an overwhelming state of anxiety daily and have now left feeling rejuvinated and positive that I have a new awareness and experience of myself and life in general. I highly recommend this Retreat for anyone who is trying to overcome anxiety, depression, grief or any patterns of behaviour they feel inhibits their lives in any way."

Caroline 43 - Buderim Qld

7 Days "Renew You" Private Retreat Buderim

"I am amazed at what I have learnt with Jaye over the past 5 days. We have worked together closely, to nut out some deep seated beliefs and shed awareness on how they may or may not be working for me. We have also done some Inner Journey work, Mindfulness, lots of juicy theory with practical examples along the way and the Bars sessions have been heavenly!

Throughout the time, Jaye made room to listen to my stories as they arose, helping me to work out where they were coming from and how to create new healthy stories. The most important thing I learnt and now understand is that our worth as a human being comes from nothing external, but simply from the automatic contribution we make as human beings.

Jaye is an incredible coach, guide, mentor, facilitator and I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn to free their mind and make happiness a reality."

4 Days "Renew Getaway" Retreat Noosa Hinterlands

"I have had a great long weekend and this Retreat has really opened my eyes. I would definitely look at coming to another one down the track.

I've learnt I am Worthy and that I am really the one looking at my thoughts. Life is exactly what it is NOW! There is no perfect and I need to accept things as they are, set realistic achievable goals and keep working towards them. Yoga and Meditation was fabulous, as I had never tried either of these before. I loved it all!"

Trish Lowe (Real Estate Sales) 52 -Redcliffe Qld

I enjoyed every moment and I'm looking forward to keeping on moving forward and loosing all the old and out dated habits and beliefs and replacing them wiht new "great" ones. I look forward to further growth with you in the future. You are very special and have a very special manner about you and you are an inspiration. Thanks!"

4 Days "Renew Getaway" Retreat Noosa Hinterlands

" I was thrilled to find the Renew 4 Day Retreat Program on Facebook and couldn't believe the incredible price. (I thought at first it was a typo or I had misread it!) Due to the price I didn't have any great expectations and thought I would get a nice relaxing long weekend in the country. Well!! That was soon to be proven totally wrong - we received a warm welcome, a professional program, well organised fantastic food, wonderful accomodation and a life changing experience. I am so grateful for the opportunity and the learnings. I will certainly recommend it to my clients, friends and family. Thank You Jaye!"

Barb Sherry (Semi-retired/Carer) 62 - Gold Coast

4 Days "Renew Getaway" Retreat Noosa Hinterlands

"I found my first phone call positive and friendly and I had no perceived idea of this retreat. All the staff, especially Jaye, were very supportive and open. The food was delicious and tasty and the cooking class left me wanting to learn more about energising food. I did miss my morning coffee, so it is a good idea to cut back before you come. The retreat was such good value for money and the accommodation was comfortable with plenty of hot water.

The seminars encouraged me to rethink my responsibilities and I realised that it is okay to look after myself first. I feel lighter and know that I can stop my mind rethinking "stories" with practice. The biggest learnings I got were that my Self Worth is always intact, that I can set my goals for myself, to do deep breathing for calming and to do my daily gratitude journal. I loved the content and all the activities such as dancing , art therapy, walking, yoga and cooking were excellent."

Lori Carroll (Chiropractor) 31 - Gold Coast

"I enjoyed my entire weekend at the Renew Retreat. It was the perfect nurturing environment that I needed at this point in time. Jaye and Jen were always there to listen and ive guidance. The tools that were given are things that can be easily implemented into everyday life. The food was amazing!

I would recommend a "Renew Getaway" to anyone needing a bit of help along the road of life."

Julie (53 years) - Queensland

4.5 Days "Renew You" Private Retreat Buderim Queensland

"The first conversation I had with Jaye was easy, comfortable and very welcoming. During my Journey of Self Realisation, many lightbulb moments were immediately obvious. My feelings became inner peace at knowing I was going to be OK. I learnt how powerful my mind is and that I can use it to create, instead of what I have been using it for, to worry! I also learnt that I am enough as I am.

All meals and refreshment were beautiful and that it was great value for money, even though you cannot put monetary value on your health."
