Sarah 33, Glenroy Vic

If you've been looking for somewhere to take a moment for yourself and go on a journey of self discovery from a holistic approach, then this is the retreat for you. From the moment I stepped in here, I was anxious about what was to come, and everyone made me feel welcome and that I was meant to be here to work on me. I felt very supported.

The program definitely felt personalised and exceeded my expectations. I am walking away with so many more tools in my toolkit and I'm excited to not only take my 'seminar' learnings but also the food and Pru's sessions into my life.

Thanks Jaye for the opportunity for this whole experience. I loved the little treats you left me, it really helped me not feel like I was restricting myself! Thanks Team, you will all hold a special place in my heart.

Isobel 20, Perth WA 8 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Bali 

I highly recommend Renew Health Retreat to anyone who believes they can benefit from it. The program itself was a lot more full on than I expected however, every aspect had a positive intention behind it which was very worthwhile. The resort itself is absolutely gorgeous and a perfect representation of traditional Balanese Architecture, perfect for a Retreat. The rooms were very clean and spacious and the staff members were all so lovely. The program was very eye-opening and I learnt so much about myself and the way the mind works to create all forms of emotions. So much of the information is based on quantum physics and is scientifically proven which, for someone like myself, really helped me to understand and believe in it, so I knew that I can make a positive change to myself as a person. Overall I would recommend this program to everyone! I personally did the One on One program with the Renew Team, who all made me feel so comfortable and at ease. They reworked the program to suit it for myself and it will most definitely be one of my most worthwhile life experiences.

Zulema 55, Cairns Qld 10 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast Queensland

From my first contact with Jaye, I felt this is for me. The warmth and understanding from the beginning assured me I am going to be looked after.

On Retreat, I got to know myself and I learnt how to love myself more.   I also have a better understanding of how to manage any issues that come up for me and how to embrace this learning in my Mind, Body and Soul. I did a 10 Days stay and for me it was what I needed. The One on One Program incorporating Yoga, Restorative Pilates, Meditation, Mindfullness, Massages, Workshops and Holistic Therapy, definitely helped me to start my new journey in life, that was well needed. The plant based food was excellent as was the accommodation set amongst a natural nature filled environment.

Words cannot express my experience here. I can say that I thought that everyone here at Renew are kind, compassionate people and they made me feel like family. I would highly recommend Renew Health Retreat to anyone who feels they need to go on a Healing Journey of Self. Thank You to the entire team. I will see you again soon.

Judy Strattan 65, Nurse, Alexandra Headlands QLD 8 Day + 5 Day Private "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

Where to begin, at the sounds like a good place to start.

I am 65 years young, have a medical background and am someone who has had a lifetime of loss. I thought that was my jouney, loss, pain, fear and anxiety.

Renew Health Retreat and my insightful, funny, gentle, caring, extremly knowledgable and passionate facilitator and therapist, has showed me there is so much more to life. I now know I have the opportunity, using my new found awareness and tools, to know that my life is a process, and I can navigate this with imagination, feeling, free from pain, fear and I can fully embrace life, if I choose.

My new outlook is to live fully, to THRIVE not to merely Survive. My inner child and this older somewhat wiser experienced 65 year old Judy are looking forward to some amazing adventures and feelings.

Thank you Renew and all your wonderful staff, for your holistic and caring approach to helping guide those in need.

Benita 5 Days Private One on One "Renew You" Retreat Sunshine Coast Qld

Thank you Jaye, Craig, Suse, Sabina and Pru for a most incredible 5 Days. My first phone call was prompt and so encouraging and informative. I can't believe how quickly Jaye responded to my enquiry and I felt instantly at ease. I have learnt so much about myself and what triggers my stress, including the beliefs ruling my life , that I wasn't aware of. Other things were:

I re-connected to myself I expressed myself - a lot of things I have been holding onto and running away from I calmed down my nervous system It gave me quiet time and space to be with myself I obtained strategies to help me cope with stress It helped me reach decisions I needed to make It helped me understand myself more deeply It was great information
Anonymous 48, Buderim, Qld 10 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

During my first phonecall Jaye was very comforting understanding, took time to ask questions about what my initial needs were, with compassion and empathy. She explained briefly the process and what I could hope to achieve.

I was an age and stage in my life, where my mental and physical health was almost at rock bottom. I found Renew Health Retreat on a Google Search, and as I was desperate to find a solution, I was anxious as I made the call.

This program is nothing like I have ever experienced and in my personal experience, should be implemented in every single school. The staff began breaking down things in a methodical manner, so even someone like myself, who was in such a bad place, could understand, comprehend and contribute.

My facilitator was patient, relatable, compassionate and firm (for a good reason). There was no fluff, just cold hard facts and evidence/knowledge/wisdom, to support the learning. The learning is hard to explain, though it definitely works 100%!!! The program was delivered in such a way that it literally does, upgrade you thinking, permantly removes old patterns, changes your view on your worth, and stops the noise and negativity in you head. It has changed my life in a positive and permanent way.

During the Retreat, support was always available, including follow-up and recommendations for going home and putting plans in place The food was nutricious and the accommodation was cozy, clean, comfortable bed and secluded in nature. The program was value for money, as you can't put a price on your mental and physical health

Tracey 45, Brisbane Qld 8 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

Renew Health Retreat was an amazing investment in my wellbeing. My first phone call was informative and reassuring. The food was nice and fresh and the accommodation was beautiful, peaceful and healing.

My facilitator was fantastic, and he allowed me a safe and nurturing space to heal from past trauma. I am better able to understand that my conditioned belief systems up to now, have determined my decisions and actions in life. Understanding allows me to let go of past event stories and create new belief systems that are more accurate.

The tools and strategies I learnt are relevant and effective practices, I can utilise in my everyday life. Renew Health Retreat reminded me of my self-worth and I am very grateful for the experience.

Ange 32, Kallangur Qld 8 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

I walked What an incredibly life changing experience. From the moment I sent off the enquiry email, I was contacted straight away and guided through the process from the beginning, during and after care.

I am learning to have patience and to forgive myself, by seeing things from a different perspective. I feel so excited and empowered after being taught the framework. The terapists kept things relatable and down to earth with a great sense of humour. Being surrounded by such positivity, great food I would never have tried, and pampering, my cup was always full.

I could not recommend this retreat highly enough, and 5 Stars doesn't seem like enough. Thanks for the life changing experience!

Justin 34, Kepnock, QLD 8 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

On arriving at Renew, I was angry, hated life, suicidal, didn't want to be around anybody, making inappropriate sudden decisions, and pushing everyone in my life away. Something had to change.

I've seen lots of doctors, been on medication for over 11 years, been in mental health hospitals before, and done courses in groups, and people always going "poor me" blah blah and blah.

I walked in on Day one, quite like normal. The owner was very welcoming and there was a really long massage and a vegan pizza and for a male, the only thing missing, was a "happy ending" (right)! But WOW! What a welcoming, the place is nice, you get it to yourself, and you aren't bothered by anyone or anything. The owner is warm and caring, and if you need anything, she is happy to get you anything. The facilitator knows her stuff and goes into every detail, has plenty of experience and uses her own experiences to help you move through your stuff to a brighter life.

For a male, this is what you want, you don't want some nerd out of college, who tells you what you want to hear.

I've come out of here, feeling better and wanting to start fresh, and rebuild. Thank you for everything, your knowledge, your guidence, care, and all of the staff's positive outlook, is incredible. To walk out of here with a clear head, is just amazing. Thank You !!

Loretta 38, Aspley Qld 8 Days Private One on One "Renew Your Life" Retreat Sunshine Coast

I will 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, and because the staff are so down to earth, relatable and caring (also should mention hilarious), I felt completely at ease to work through things. Top stars all round for delicious food, stunning accommodation and a great learning framework. For the first time in quite a while, I am super excited for whats ahead. Thanks Renew <3

Tayla 16, Newport Qld 5 Days Private One on One "Renew You" Retreat Sunshine Coast

I am so glad I have been lucky enough to have the experience of being at this retreat for 5 days. It is a million times more tha I could have ever imagined in every way.

After just 5 days here, I feel a lighter side of me again. This is only the start of my new life, as I have so many tools and strategies to carry me forward into a healthy and rewarding life, free of Anxiety and Fear. I can contact Jaye at anytime that I need and I have my educational tools to look back on if I need.

Thanks so much to all the wonderful staff at Renew Health Retreat.

Mel 44, Redcliffe Qld 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.

Justin 47, Sunshine Coast Qld 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.

Kitty 49, Enoggera, QLD 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.

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!
