Fill your own cup to support your business with a rejuvenated soul!
Capturing magnificent views of the Coral Sea, our unique tropical retreat is located at Trinity Beach, with a down-to-earth and laid-back atmosphere just twenty minutes north of Cairns.
This spectacular Malaysian style timber home, designed to afford maximum privacy, features two-tiered pools and an expansive entertaining area – the perfect space for us to enjoy a relaxed programme of retreat sessions, to nurture yourself and rejuvenate your birth or postpartum doula business.
The home shares private access to Trinity Beach, which has walking access to the beach via a steep rainforest track with bridges – a ten-minute hike for the fit, however, well worth the adventure through the rainforest.
This rejuvenating retreat has been especially designed to give you the nurturing time-out you crave with a wonderful balance of mind-body-spirit connection, relaxation and fun!

RETREAT VISION
Our vision is to combine all the benefits of a deeply relaxing, healing retreat, coupled with guided sessions to focus on rejuvenating yourself and your birthing business. In this nurturing environment you are encouraged to embrace more connection and trust with your natural birthkeeper skills, the soul essence of your business and creating greater sustainability in following your heart’s vision. We will guide you on an intuitive journey through the chakras relating to birth and business, a personal exploration to gain insight and clarity, with the group supporting each other as part of the rejuvenation and doula growth. You will leave feeling excited and energised to bring your vision to life!
