Rowan Isaacs 45, Drilling Company , Gold Coast QLD

10 Days Private Renew Your Life Retreat Sunshine Coast QLD

I hit a wall and realized I could not do life the way it was unfolding anymore, like a big bad scary wall, I had hit lots of little walls but at 45yrs old this was the one to stop me. I had tried so many medications, every therapy know to man. Still miserable, still depressed. Still loving being the victim. I know all the theory around how to live life but could not seem to have any break throughs. I did a lot of research and out of everything, I liked the idea of the one on one retreat. I remember thinking how could the focus just be on me for 10 days. Surely I am not worthy of that.

This experience has liberated me and I now have my eyes open and I can hear. I walk the same path each morning on my walk and yesterday, stopped looked up and could not believe what I saw (photo below - I never actually took in the beauty of the walk I was on) I hear my brain telling me stories. I feel emotions in my body and I trust myself now to pause, and listen to what my body is communicating. I then think. What is this message is it true, is it not. I understand my life story and the role it played. I understand how I was running on autopilot wishing for life to be different and doing the same things over and over and getting the same results. Getting more depressed and more anxious.

Now. I love myself. I am worthy and I am connected to everything.

What has happened has happened. The future has not unfolded. So now, I try, and I keep trying to bring my self back to the present and choose who I am.
But I am choosing from a place of I am worthy.

This is life changing. In the continuous doing of this is what is life changing.

There was no magical pill (I frickin begged for it) it was just a pure love and a pure focus on just me that supported me to understand, unpack and RENEW my life.

To Jaye and your team, you have made a massive impact on my life, my 6 children, my family and my community and I as I show up I am like the rock in the pond with ripples going out.
The work you do, I believe has saved my life. With gratitude I take this gift and I keep trying to show up, and be and live the life I always dreamed of.

The food is amazing, accomodation great, the magic for me was that it was all about me - One on One - love and support.
From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. I now really feel what gratitude really feels like.

12 Days "Renew Your Life" Retreat Holiday Bali

I came to Renew Health Retreat feeling stuck, lost and alone. I was just existing. My time here has taught me how to start truly living again. I have learnt to stop berating myself for my thoughts, but accept them for what they are, just thoughts and let them move on. I have also learn I can rid myself of my "stinking thinking," take off my rose coloured glasses and stop and truly smell the roses.

I have learnt that I am Worthy and "I am Enough" and no-one can take that away from me. I felt so toxic when arriving and now I feel energised and excited about my future. I have really felt the connection between my mind, body and spirit and I can now see the good in my situation.

I cannot thank or praise Jaye enough and feel very blessed to have been part of the journey at Renew Health Retreat.

5 Days Private Two on Two (sisters) "Renew You" Retreat Sunshine Coast

From my first phone call, I found upon coming here, that our Retreat facilitator refreshed the limited knowledge of some counselling skills, I'd picked up years ago. I found her beautiful and passionate approach to coaching these skills, inspirational and her knowledge and flow, kept everything on point. I welcomed the new, fresh perspective, on how to get a better handle on my emotional factors, that I may need to address. The written information is easy to follow, and I'm certain after using when needed, will greatly assist in positively benefitting my mental and emotional state.

Overall massages and Yoga Chi Gung, food and atmosphere, were perfect for the goals I set about achieving during this time.

Much Love and Gratitude to all the staff from Renew Health Retreat.

12 Days "Renew Your Life" Retreat Holiday Bali

"I would highly recommend Renew Health Retreat. I have never been to a Health Retreat before, but I was desperately in need  of a more holistic approach to my ongoing depression and family stress issues. Jaye Fleming is amazing! Seven days of Group and One on One Coaching, Mindfulness Training, Yoga, Meditation,Naturopath sessions and more,  gave me the tools to approach life in a more positive manner and deal with the stress around me. Jaye is truly committed to what she does, with follow-up sessions on return. I have come back more positive, healthy and with an inner calm . My work colleagues say "I look younger with an inner glow." I also met a group of people who will be friends for life. Oh - and you also get amazing pampering with massage and body treatments, walks through Paddy fields, shopping, cycling, snorkelling, island holiday, amazing food...! I am going back next year for a refresher!!"

8 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

From my first phone call, I felt a sense of caring, kindness and support. I attended an 8 Days Renew Your Life Program, having suffered anxiety and depression for most of my adult life. My facilitators were first class and used a great range of analogies, to help me understand the program content and get to my core beliefs.

This opened my eyes to key learning, which some of us just don't have. We are all unique and every experience can be learned from, both good and bad. Life is not in our control. Life happens and I have learnt so much about myself, that I am able to live life as it is and be in the present.

My Accommodation was spaceous and welcoming. I felt comfortable in the natural surroundings, which was perfect for me to learn, at that time. The food was delicious (I tried a plant based diet for the first time!) and my body felt cleaner on my departure. The yoga, massage and pilates, were all excellent.

I now have the tools for ever, to start living my unique life journey. Thank You so much to everyone at Renew Health Retreat, for my transformation. I am truly greatfull.

8 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

" I commend Jaye and all the staff at Renew Health Retreat, for their dedication to all walks of life, with their very innovative program. From my first phone call with Jaye, I felt a soul connection that led me to prioritise coming here above everything. The tools and strategies have allowed me to come to terms with a very sudden loss in my life. I felt both ladies and all of the therapists, love, compassion, empathy and dedication to provide me with all they have, for me to find peace. I finished the program by learning and understanding my loss and also a lot about me. I truly felt I had met my kindred spirits and they have truly helped me achieve the release of pain and loss. The ambiance, environment, food, relaxation, therapies, combined with the program structure, made this event unforgettable, for me personally. I will always remember for life, the two very empowered ladies who transform people's lives, by their acts of service and love for human beings. May you always be blessed within the energy field. heart

Alana 32, Bridges Queensland

10 Days Private "Renew Your Life " Retreat Sunshine Coast

I was recommended to contact Renew Health Retreat, by a friend, whose husband had attended the program. She said it had done wonders for him and it had changed his life. My friend couldn't rate it high enough.

My initial contact felt like it was very good, caring and I was nurtured and supported 100% during my 10 Days Program. The program did everything it was advertised to do, and more. I loved the yummy food and my accommodation was perfect. I felt at home and loved hearing the birds, the greenery, the walks along the river, that I had a spa bath, and so much natural light and airflow.

This Retreat has absolutely made a difference to my life. I am so much more aware of my mind and body, my way of thinking, my beliefs, the bigger picture and how to focus on my breath. I am totally committed to implementing the tools and strategies I learnt and I would definitely recommend Renew Health Retreat to anyone moving through the grief process. My biggest learnings were about cause and effect, beliefs, the brain and body and the much bigger picture. I loved all parts of the program (including massage, meditation, Pilates and I finally found a yoga that suited my body).

Katie 36, Registered Nurse, Amamoor Queensland

6 Days Private "Renew You" Retreat Sunshine Coast

I found Renew Health Retreat online and I found I was supported from the very first phone call and through out the entire Retreat. The accommodation was really lovely and this One on One Retreat has made a big difference to my life. I now have a better understanding of my past issues and have many new tools to help with Stress. I feel confident that I can implement all the tools I learnt. My biggest learning was "I"m not at fault for how people have treated me and I won't be in the future. I loved the food, learning to love myself and the understanding that I am and always have been, and still am, doing the best I could. I would definitely recommend this Retreat to others.

Romana 36, Springfield Lakes Queensland

8 Days Private "Renew Your Life " Retreat Sunshine Coast

I googled Retreats on the Sunshine Coast area and Renew Health Retreat had great reviews, so I gave Jaye a call. She kept following up and that is just what I needed, otherwise I may have given up on the idea. I felt good after my conversation with Jaye. The One on One Retreat, instead of a group Retreat, was awesome. I allowed all the staff to know and see me, so they could target my problem areas.

It was great to try eating Vegan and Plant Based foods, that I believed I would never like. The accommodation was calming and I loved being so close to the water.

The program resonated, even the bits I found hard to accept. I now have the confidence to trust myself even if I"m not certain and I have the ability to challenge my own beliefs and change them. I have new awareness of my body and emotions. I now know that my Selfworth is innate and always intact, reality is not what we make up in our minds, that it is okay to prioritise self love and care and that this isn't selfish. I can now create my life and don't ever have to live according to someone elses 'ideal'. I loved Jayana's life force, learning new things and yoga, meditation and mindfulness was my favourite part of the program. It was worth every cent.

Karla 36, Brisbane Queensland

8 Days Private "Renew Your Life " Retreat Sunshine Coast

Thank You Jaye and all your wonderful staff, for your kindness, love and care, in getting me through my 8 Days Retreat. I have learnt so much valuable information to help me on my journey, moving forward. Thank You for showing me "that there is always another way." I can't recommend this Retreat enough.

My life has changed so much since returning home and I don't sweat the small stuff anymore. I have only had a few little falls off my bike and I have the tools to jump straight back on. I also love the aftercare I am receiving, that keeps me grounded in this learning.

Kylie 44, Penguin, Tasmania

8 Days Private "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

I found Renew Health Retreat after searching for a better way to help me, after many years of living a life that had exhausted me.
From the minute I arrived at Renew, I was nurtured until the end of the program. I arrived thinking I knew what my core issue was. As it turns out, I had it all wrong. My whole life theory was misinformed.
The factural information, I was taught, and put into practice at Renew, is so simple, but so missed in Society. This program needs to be your first stop! Don't wait until years of life not working for you. I don't have one regret. Life for me has just begun.
Thank you Jaye and my facilitator Jayana. You are both mind savers!

Mia 16, Jimboomba QLD

8 Days Private "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

Before arriving at the Retreat I was going down the wrong path and was doing all sorts of bad things. I had lost my way and I believed that the person I had become defined the rest of my life. I thought there was no coming back from my choices. Now I realise that I was small minded and that my Beliefs were inaccurate and negative. The team, through sharing their experiences, showed me experientially, how their experiences hadn't defined their lives. In fact they were happy, healthy and spreading so much wisdom.

Since being at the Retreat, I have had so much insight on basically everything, including the way I think, why I think that way, why I would do certain things and how my brain works. I believe that this Retreat has and will be the greatest knowledge I will ever have. What I have learnt, and the tools I have received, will help me make healthier, wiser decisions. How I see other people and their decisions has also changed forever. I now have the insite, knowledge and tools to keep chaning my thought process and creating a better life for myself.

I received all the support and nurturing needed during this process. The food wasn't what I would usually eat, though I still enjoyed it and found my new favourite snacks. The accomodation was great and was very cosy. The spacious master bedroom and super comfy bed were good and I loved the Spa Bath.

I would recommend Renew Health Retreat, as it was the best thing ever. I loved the food, seminars and yoga.

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 Balinese staff were all helpful 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 vitality, 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!

Mitch 32, Sunshine Coast QLD

8 Days Private "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

8 Days ago, I was probably the most confused version of myself, that I have ever known. My family knew it, and they were the ones that I was taking all my frustrations out on. I was short tempered, easily irritated and I had lost the person I used to be. I felt like my life wasn't going to plan and it was literally falling apart.

When my family told me that they had booked me into the Retreat, I had no idea what it was, or what I was in for. I couldn't be more grateful for the experience they gave me and for the team at Renew Health Retreat. 8 Days later, I've been helped to uncover a lot of stuff, that I didn't know was going on in my unconscious mind, making me bitter and unhappy through life.

I recommend anyone that wants a better understanding of themselves, family, relationships, friends and life in general, to go for it! I couldn't be happier from my experience and for my new lease on life.

Mike , Adelaide SA

8 Days Private Group "Renew Your Life" Retreat Bali

All four of us arrived very tired and sad, after tragically losing someone close to us. On the first day we made some changes in the program to include more relaxation for us men and the intense program for the girls. Jaye and the team were very accommodating during this process.

I personally loved the yoga, pool and relaxation time, though our wives got a lot out of the program and were much happier and more peaceful after working through the program.

I would recommend the Retreat for anyone in the same situation as us and Jaye and Jayana were excellent in their presentations and yoga.

I thank you for your thoughtfulness, friendliness and kindness, during our stay, after such a traumatic time for us. The tribute to Natalie was a touching end to our Retreat. Well Done Team! and Thank You !

Charley 29, Balina NSW

5 Days "Renew You" Retreat Sunshine Coast

I came to the retreat, a burnt out, tired, scattered mum, who couldn't understand why I was so irritable, anxious and stressed. As soon as I got to the retreat, I felt taken care of and supported. Jaye and Jayana taught me so much, not only about myself, but also about others. They gave me the tools to continue this awesome journey at home. I feel like my eyes have been opened, and the stress and confusion of life have melted away. I loved every part, the inner work and seminars, the breathing and yoga, Mindfulness Training, massage and yoga and I especially loved not having to cook or clean - I could "just BE." It was such a beautiful, nurturing environment and the food was amazing, with plenty of food and snacks. I knew I chose Renew for a reason and II'm so glad I bit the bullet and came here. Thanks Guysheart

8 Days Private "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast QLD

I enjoyed my time at Renew Health Retreat. There were plent of food and refreshments and I couldn't have asked for a better stay. I felt very comfortable with all the facilitators , as they each worked their magic on me. I found it a pleasant, friendly, atmosphere, and I am confident that my time at Renew, will be a life changing experience. One that I can take forward with me into the future.

Craig Beeching 55, Perth WA

8 Days "Renew Your Life" Retreat Bali

I have just done an 8 Days "Renew Your Life" Retreat in Bali, in Ubud. At the moment, I am feeling absolutely wonderful. I've got far more from this 8 Days than I ever thought possible. I feel freer. I feel like all of my core beliefs are just melting away. I'm acting in full consciousness at the moment. The instructors and other staff with Renew, are just wonderful. THANK YOU! It's definitely worth every cent. The value that you get from it is amazing. I'd recommend this to anybody who even has the slightest inkling that this could help them and that they could improve their life from this. THANKS! blush

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!
