Rise UP and Lead Her UP Retreats
Niky's Womenโs Resilience and Leadership retreat's are for women who feel depleted, lost or overwhelmed whilst wading through grief and lifeโs setbacks.
Rise UP resilience is for women who have found counselling or psychological care helpful- but are tired of telling the same story in the circular dusty path and need a pathway forward through grief. โIt is for women who have reached a crossroads in their grief journey and know they need to make a change, but just donโt know where to begin.
Lead Her UP is designed specifically for leaders or business owners who need clear steps and skills to lead through loss. How to calm the emotional rollercoaster, manage a team, develop communication and leadership skills from a place of courage, authenticity, resilience and empowerment.
โRise UP and Lead Her UP combines over 25 years of my experience as a health practitioner, business owner and leader, coach and speaker. It also includes my own authentic and personal journey in business leadership through personal life setbacks and grief.
I get it.
I too have walked that path. With feelings of brain fog, isolation, overwhelm and an emotional rollercoaster. Feeling lost in the dark without direction, looking at the tipped-out puzzle and wondering how I ended up there. Wondering if I would ever recover.
I needed practical steps and tools. I needed insight and clarity. I needed to find direction and a pathway forward. Iโd reached my own crossroads and knew I needed to make a change.
So, I embarked on a learning curve. One that included study with Dr Demartini, NLP master coaching, Mindfulness Meditation teaching, Heart Math Facilitation and Breneโ Brown's Dare to Lead program. I developed my own step by step pathway through grief to help myself create resilient leadership to build my team and business from a space of authentic courage and confidence.
And itโs this pathway I want to share with YOU.
The Rise UP and Lead Her UP retreats offers you:
A chance to press pause. Have you found yourself giving too much, life wearing thin or simply running on empty? Niky's retreat's offer you a chance to press pause and refuel when youโve found yourself in a place of depletion. With daily workshops and seminars, guided self- reflection time, pampering massage, meditation, classes, surrounding nature, spectacular views, great company and amazing food.
Clarity and direction. Discover a pathway to transform grief, overwhelm and brain fog into clarity, confidence and courage. With your own take home manual and planner, we offer daily inspiring seminar and workshop content to help you learn how to manage brain fog and stress, how to steer your mindset and self-talk, how to regulate the emotional rollercoaster and clear the path toward clarity.
Confidence. Too often we find ourselves feeling stuck, depleted, losing momentum and motivation. We lose trust in ourselves. Doubt our decisions. Niky's retreat helps you find direction, rediscover your strengths, reclaim your values, build confidence and courage within yourself.
Leave prepared. Sometimes we just need an action plan. Clear steps we can take when we leave retreat. The courage to make the changes we need for ourselves. To step into authenticity. Niky's retreats offer you easy practical tools you can use at home to centre yourself and learn to navigate from a place of calm clarity. We also offer our private retreat facebook group and daily planner so you can implement all you have learnt on a daily basis. Prioritise YOU.
We only take bookings with an application call.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I have to sit in a circle with other women and share my story?
No. Each woman who attends retreat has her own past, her own story. We do not sit in a circle and share our past. We all come for the same reason- we need to press pause and start prioritising ourselves. Start making changes from within. We come together to learn steps forward. This retreat is about supporting YOU. You will receive a take-home manual (to guide you through the Rise UP method) and reflection journal where you will be able to write down your own personal thoughts and reflections- this is for your eyes only. You will be guided through some reflective journaling questions that you can keep all to yourself. As a woman who has navigated major life challenges, I can understand how daunting it can be to be in a group! You can share as little or as much as you like with the other wonderful women on retreat and you are fully supported. Remember we each have our own stories, and on retreat, we share as much or as little as we feel to- either in group time or during break and relaxation time. The choice is completely yours. We are here to help you navigate and if you need to speak to any of our facilitators personally throughout the retreat time we are here for you. Women who have attended find the retreat positive, authentic, supportive and encouraging of each other- wherever you happen to be in the journey of life.
Do I have to be good at yoga?
No! All classes are inclusive for beginners and we are here to offer you a relaxed retreat! Yoga will be at a beginner to intermediate level only. If you are not up to completing a class you can simply relax, lie down and enjoy some music- this retreat is about YOU. (And there are no gold medals for the best downward facing dog!)
Do I have to be able to meditate?
No. Each morning we will start gently, and guide you through an easy warming practice of movement as well as teaching and guiding you through a simple meditation practice with practical tips on how to use mindfulness meditation when you get home to help calm your nervous system, reduce stress and improve clarity and focus.
What age groups do you have on retreat?
Women of all ages and backgrounds attend our all inclusive retreats. Our youngest has been 24 and our oldest has been 76 (who came back twice she loved it so much!). In my years of teaching I have learnt that no matter what age, women needs tools to navigate. Our ages will vary, our stories might be different, but the feelings we have to navigate are the same. I have found the greatest connections come from open hearts and kindness which is shared on our retreats toward each and every woman, no matter what age.
