9 Days Private "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast Qld

Wow! I'm not sure where to begin. I guess I should start with saying I'm from a trade background!

Experiences, (problems) pop up in my life, at home, at work, in my day to day life, that I often butt heads with. They just don't sit well with me or I outright reject them. This stresses the hell out of me.

Well I found - "The Game Changer"

Renew Health Retreat is literally an awakening to how you can improve your quality of life, mind and body balance, and it doesn't even hurt. Well maybe a little bit! But it was worth it!  GIVE IT A GO!

8 Days "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast Queensland

After a sudden life changing event, I found Renew Health Retreat. I was hesitant to reach out to Australia for help, though it is the best thing I have done. The accommodation is stylish, comfortable and immaculately clean. The beautiful ladies who came for the Restorative Pilates classes and Massage, are the most calm, caring and stunning people. The evening deliveries of lovingly prepared food are such a treat. The learning was a challenge for me, though the beautiful coaches are there for you every step of the way, ensuring you fully understand all the completely new information. I am really looking forward to implementing this new way of thinking and being, to the rest of my life. The wildlife was an added bonus.

8 Days Renew Your Life Retreat Sunshine Coast

Coming into the retreat I didn’t really know what to expect but was surprised by how quickly I felt comfortable. The environment along with the people just relaxed me and enabled me to let go and be open to everything. The content itself combined with my coach gave me such a good understanding of how I got myself to this point and then the tools moving forward to change that thinking, what was said just really made sense!!!

5 Days "Renew You" Retreat Sunshine Coast

After my husband suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, I knew I needed professional assistance. I am so glad I found 'Renew Health Retreat.' My initial contact was amazing. Jaye spent so much time on the phone with me and was extremely supportive, compassionate and understanding.

From the minute of arrival, I felt so much warmth, comfort and care. The accommodation was amazing - so peaceful, light and calming. I cannot speak highly enough of my facilitators expertise, professionalism and assistance through such a hard time in my life. The massages provided were amazing and the best I have ever had, and were done with so much love and care. The restorative pilates, grief and trauma work was also amazing and a great way to end the day with great meditation, and also provided with love, care and nurturing. The meals delivered everyday were all absolutely beautiful and an amazing variety, full of taste and flavours.

It is a credit to you Jaye, for the amazing staff and the fantastic facility you provide for people in need, to feel loved, safe, secure, as they implement ways to improve their lives.

5 Days Private Personalised one on one "Renew You" Retreat Program

When I found Renew Health Retreat on the Internet, I called Jaye and she was very informative, Kind and welcoming. And this support and nurturing continued throughout my Retreat.

When I arrived and I was welcomed warmly, and I felt comfortable and relaxed as soon as I stepped in to the lovely accommodation. It felt like a big HUG! All of my needs were taken care of and the combination of massages, pilates, nutricious food, one on one time with such a suitably qualified and empathetic Facilitator/Therapist, is an experience that will always remain with me. 

I am leaving with more clarity and I am feeling I can sit back and assess and I am feeling so much better about the situations that brought me here. I now have tools and strategies to move forward with and I would recommend this company to anyone. It exceded my expectations and was well worth the outlay of money.

5 Days Private "Renew You Retreat Sunshine Coast Qld

Wow! What an experience it has been. Since I arrived, I came into this beautiful, friendly environment, which is quiet and has lots of open space. I am not a vegan, and the food is amazing, with lots of variety and there is plenty of it. I haven't eaten so much and so well, differently. I feel better for the nurturing food.

I have gained a lot of knowledge and Wisdom and I have learnt to connect with myself and release my stress, anxiety and depression. I can now recognise and transform the 5 elements, expanding from inaccurate thinking to truth, from within myself. There is a lot of help and support to help me relax and gain as much information and experience as I can while I am here. I believe the hard part is going to be when I get home, and I have continue implementing what I have learnt. It is the repeated practice that is important and that is why I have asked for the VIP Aftercare Package, to help me grow into the "Renewed Me!"

5 Days Renew You Program

Renew Health Retreat transformed my perspective on recent stressful events in my life and enabled me to think clearly about how to resolve them.

I arrived as a shaky, nervous, anxious person, unable to sleep at night, with no appetite and no sense of joy in anything.

Thanks to the staff at Renew, I am leaving as a calm, appreciative human having slept in a super comfy bed, extremely well. I also enjoyed the most deicious vegan food and was overwhelmed by the gorgeous accommodation and surrounding gardens.

I'm now ready to rejoin life and I can't wait to find out where it takes me!

7 Days Renew Your Life Program Sunshine Coast Qld

I have just completed my 7 day retreat and I absolutely loved the experience. Jaye and her team are so welcoming and lovely and they really went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable throughout my stay.
Over the seven days I completely transformed my view on stress as a whole and I gained greater insight into myself and my relationships with those closest to me.

The amazing massages, pilates and delicious food along with my incredible coaching along the way ,really made this experience what it was.
I whole heartedly recommend renew health retreat to any and everyone of all ages (I am a 19 year old female and I gained so much incredible knowledge that I will cary with me throughout my entire life)

8 Days Renew Your Life Program Sunshine Coast Qld

A friend recommended Renew to me, as they had attended a program with Jaye, many years ago. When I found the courage to call, Jaye was very comforting and she made the whole process so easy and she made sure everything suited my needs every step of the way. All the staff were so lovely and I could tell that they genuinely cared about me. I then relaxed into it.

The food was surprising. I never expected that Vegan Food could be so tasty. The accommodation was comfortable and quiet and the evenings gave me much needed down time. 

I would would recommend this Retreat to anybody really. My coach has completely transformed my view on stress, anxiety and depression. She has introduced me to a new process of thinking, enabling me to have a better view point and relationship with myself. I am much more realistic and I can already see myself implementing new strategies in my lifestyle. I look at my past struggles and with my new knowledge, I could have transformed those situations long ago. The reality is that I didn't and here I am.

I think anyone struggling with any level of stress, particularly extreme stress would gain a lot grom this program. I loved the massage and the food. Thank you Renew Staff.

8 Days Renew Your Life Retreat Sunshine Coast Qld

I googled Mental health Retreat and I came across Renew Health Retreat. Out of all the Retreat, this Retreat to suit me the best, as I didn't want to go down the clinical path. I emailed and I received a very quick response. I didn't dive too deeply, I just knew something needed to happen and soon.

I arrived and was taken aback at how beautiful, peaceful, light, open and comfortable the accommodation was. Everything I needed was provided and more. This 8 days has absolutely changed my life. I am so much more aware of the damage caused by alcohol and how I was in a kind of state of numbness. I have learned to let go of so much baggage that has been weighing me down for years. So much guilt and shame. I learned so much about myself, my self worth, who I am and how to grow.

The Chef provide me with food and regreshment were very tasty and nutritional. The massages were the best I have ever experienced and the Pilates teacher was so soft and caring. Meditation helped me to gain peace, calm and insite into myself and it is a definite take away.

Thanks Jaye, I wouldn't change a thing. Each thing had its place in your powerful program and what I have gained is priceless.

8 Days Renew Your Life Program Sunshine Coast Qld

I’ll always be so grateful for the staff at Renew. This retreat has honestly been life changing. I have always found talking about things a little difficult but because the staff are so down to earth, relatable and caring (also should mention hilarious!) I felt completely at ease to work through things. Tops stars all round for delicious food, stunning accommodation and a great learning framework. For the first time in a quite a while I’m super excited for what’s ahead. Thanks Renew ❤️

Maxine Skelland 54, Boyne Island Qld

8 Days Renew Your Life Retreat Program Sunshine Coast Qld Australia

Wow! What an experience and one I'll never Forget. I didn't know what to expect. I didn't expect a beautiful 90 minute massage to relax and feel comfortable, on arrival.My masseuse had magic hands. I am so glad that I opted for a more individual self discovering Retreat, as opposed to a more clinical approach.

I came to Renew with baggage and I didn't realiseI how much shame, guilt and self hatred I had learned about myself over the years. When my therapists worked with me, I felt all those years of beating myself up leave my heart and body, to be left with a lightness and calmness I've never felt before.

Everything about the Retreat was amazing to me. My facilitator/Therapist was the most insightful, knowledgable man, I have had the pleasure to be counselled by and to meet. The massages were so beautiful and professional and the Restorative Pilates and Meditation, I will take home with me and make these practices a priority. I have a new found love of Vegan, Plantbased tasty and food, thanks to my chef. 

Thank you so much Jaye for making my Renew Your Life Retreat a thing, and for nurturing me from my first phone calle to the end of my Retreat!

Thank you everyone on staff.

Pamela Travena 52, Mornington, Vic

Being a part of the Renew Health Retreat Program has been the most valuable and beneficial gift I could have given myself. Being in Bali in a magical setting at the Retreat here, has been the perfect place for stopping, and to start healing in this very nurturing, calming, idyllic location.

As a result of being in Bali, I have had to only think about me for the first time in a very very long time. I have walked away from this program much lighter and I feel as though I am floating. I love myself so much more and believe I am actually quite ok as a person, just being me. I now reach within myself and give my body a big hug and say thank you and sorry for the relentless pounding I gave you over our lifetime together. I now see happiness from within, instead of a very tired, stressed out, very nervous, anxious, timid, uncomfortable mum and woman.

This journey so far with awakening about myself, has only just begun in my new chapter of my life. I'm very excited for the future with continuing this growing and evolving process.

8 Days Renew Your Life Retreat Sunshine Coast

Spending one week at Renew Health Retreat has made a huge difference to how I view a lot of things. After months of dealing with Anxiety and Depression, it was a decision my family and I had come to. This was necessary for me, I needed help.

I nad never been anywhere on my own for a period of time, so I was very apprehensive about this aspect of the stay and it's turned out that I loved this part of the stay and I relished the time on my own. The counselling I received has been invaluable and you are so well looked after. The massage, pilates and the food are first class and the accommodation tranquil, peaceful and comfortable.

10 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Bali

OUR FIRST BALI RETREAT BACK IN 2.5 YEARS! Woohoo!
My decision to attend the Renew Health Retreat for 10 Days in Bali, was the best gift I have ever given myself. My initial contact with Jaye was great, she was informative, warm, understanding and made me feel safe. Prior to my Retreat Jaye organised extra nights and a day trip with my wonderful tour guide Made. I arrived back so happy and exhilerated. I also witnessed Ubud Bali, including our beautiful Retreat Centre, opening up slowly like a lotus flower, after having no guests for 2.5 years. It was such a blessing to be part of this.
During my retreat, I couldn't have asked for anything more. I was supported and nurtured beyond my expectations. I enjoyed all the food options. Breakfast overlooking the pool, every morning, with awesome fresh fruit and other options. I loved my room, clean, tidy and a great zen view of the Retreat. The Balanese staff were all helpfull and smiling and I felt special.
The Retreat is an oasis of peace and tranquility, where I was able to experience physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing. My personalised treatment plan, that suited my specific requirements has helped me to reconnect with a more basic and natural way of being.
My counsellors were so supportive, compassionate, non-judgemental and relatable. The therapy sessions, mindfulness, meditation, relaxation, massages, yoga, afternoon walks, and other recreational activities, all amongst the scenic landscapes and small villages, rich in history and culture, have helped me gain perspective, and put healthy habits in place. Returning to life, I'm feeling clear minded, happy and productive. I have more energy and viality, and excitement for my future. I feel confident, calm, relaxed, my mind is switched on and I also have my smile back. I now know how to set boundaries and relieve stress. My biggest takeaway is that I am always Worthy no matter what and that life is full of experiences and even though I don't know the outcome, I can always enjoy my own unique journey in life.
I can fully recommend Renew Health Retreat. It has 'renewed'my life. The entire program was perfect!

Jasmine 25, Brisbane Qld

10 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast QLD

What an experience. I came into this 10 Days with no real expectation on how much it would help and benefit me. I came after a long journey of being in a pretty dark place mentally, and I finally felt that I needed some help. The five hour daily sessions were so great, as it allowed me the time to tell my life experience and come to breakthroughs during teachings. They created such an open and calming space for me to be vulnerable. They offered an education that I could relate back to my own belief system and experiences.

I feel my outlook on myself and my life has completely shifted and this has made me grateful for all the experiences I have ever had, as they made me who I am today. The afternoon sessions, whether that be massage, yoga, restorative pilates and grief and trauma release, were also ways to unwind and keep your body in check. The food was absolutely amazing and filled with the nutrients to keep your energy for the duration of the stay.

I really am so eternally grateful to all the staff for creating a space of transparency, patience, respect and amazing teachings, that I truly believe will change the course of my life toa more peaceful, present ,and grateful existence.

8 Days Private "Renew Your Life" Retreat Bali

I'd highly recommend Renew, especially the Bali retreat. I had the most amazing time. The calm tranquil surrounds with the waterfalls, yoga, massages etc. provided such a lovely environment, the perfect relaxation away from it all - exactly what I needed to focus on myself while working through the program. This experience has been life changing for me. I can't thank the wonderful staff at renew enough for all they do and for making this retreat possible - thankyou so much.
