The Fertility Reset Retreat – A Day of Connection, Reflection, Rejuvenation and Inspiration

When I look back on my own fertility journey, one thing stands out more than anything else was the isolation. I was the only one of my friends struggling to fall pregnant, and it made me feel alone, different… broken even. I blamed myself for what was happening, and no matter how many appointments I attended or how hard I tried to “stay positive,” there was no specific emotional support available.

Today, as a Fertility Therapist, I am able to create the support and space that I so longed for back then, that's why I created the Fertility Reset Retreat: a nourishing, heart-led day for women on the fertility journey. A place to reduce emotional burnout, foster peace and trust, and receive the care women deserve from a team of specialist practitioners.

The First Fertility Reset Retreat – Dee Why, June 30th

Our first retreat sold out with 10 women joining us in Dee Why. Honestly, I thought some might be reserved at first — after all, this journey is deeply personal and often very private— but from the very start, the connections were instant.

By lunchtime, women were leaning in, sharing stories, laughing, and forming friendships that have lasted beyond the day itself.

Some of the most memorable moments for me were:

• The opening ceremony where each woman wrote her name on a timber heart, and placed it in my “fertility treasure chest,” to stay there until her baby is conceived and born.

• The acupuncture Q&A with Katika Funnel, who shared the fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine and how it supports fertility.

• The combined acupuncture and hypnotherapy session — a crowd favourite.

• Natalie Andrews guiding us through belly massage, where women partnered up and massaged each other’s bellies in a safe, supportive way.

• The peaceful and restorative sound healing session by Elsa

• The closing ceremony, where everyone left with a hand-picked posie of flowers as a reminder of the day.

The feedback was humbling. Attendees spoke of feeling less alone, more connected, and deeply validated. They loved having the chance to experience multiple therapies — acupuncture, massage, hypnotherapy, sound — in one day without having to juggle work schedules. Above all, they left relaxed, re-energised, and ready to continue their journey with a little more peace and hope.

What’s New for August 31st – Newport, NSW

Our next retreat will be held at The Anchor in Newport — a beautiful private retreat home nestled among the trees, overlooking Pittwater. It’s quiet, secluded, and all ours for the day.

While we’ll keep the favourite parts — the sound healing, acupuncture, massage and hypnotherapy — there are some exciting new additions:

• Fertility-focused nutrition with Bec from Plantful Pregnancy, who is also curating nourishing lunch and snacks for the day.

• A self-practice Mayan abdominal massage technique to enjoy and take home.

• A hands-on creative activity to channel feminine energy and the creative force linked to fertility.

• A new mindset session to connect mind and body for fertility and resilience

• Enhanced opening and closing ceremonies to set powerful intentions and integrate the day’s learnings.

Looking Ahead – The Future of the Fertility Reset Retreat

This isn’t a one-off event — my goal is to host the Fertility Reset Retreat quarterly with the plan to travel to different states throughout Australia and connect with local fertility practitioners in 2026, bringing this experience to more women who need it.

But... before we do that, I'm hoping to organise a two-day overnight retreat at Billabong Retreat in Sydney, with partners too later in 2025 - watch this space!

If You’re On the Fence…

My reminder to you is... This journey is hard and it's ok to struggle - but know that you don't have to do it all on your own, to do it all yourself. There is good support out there and this is a day about getting support with people who 'get it'.

When you join us, you’ll be held by heart-led practitioners including:

• Natalie Andrews – Fertility, pregnancy, birth & post-partum massage therapist (preparedtobirth.com.au)

• Katika Funnel – Acupuncturist & TCM Dr (familywellnesscentre.com.au)

• Elsa Vanko – Sound Healer (thesoundwellnessco.com.au)

• Bec – Plantful Pregnancy – Fertility Nutritionist & Dietician (plantfulpregnancy.com)

You’ll leave feeling loved, understood, at peace with a sense of hope in your heart.

If you’d like to join us for our next Fertility Reset Retreat on Sunday 31st August, I’d love to welcome you into this beautiful, supportive space.
