Innately Empowered - A woman's retreat

Yes woman, you are Sacred, Powerful and All-Knowing

As women, we are so powerful and we don’t even know it. You are the one you have been waiting for.

Our power comes from within, not without. Yet we look outside of ourselves for the answers, when the answers we seek already lie within, we just need to slow down and learn how to listen and hear them.

Join us for a day of self-empowering practices to reclaim our sovereignty and remember our innate wholeness. Maddie and Lyndal will guide you through practices that will rise you up back into your own power, where you can self-heal and transform and come back into alignment with your highest truth surrounded by like-minded Goddesses… this is your birthright.

Your day will look and feel a little like this:

Kind words from some of our previous Women’s Retreats:

“Beyond grateful for women like Maddie and Lyndal who pull together and create a safe place where we can all connect with each other and ourselves. Thank you for pulling me toward these magical sacred spaces, can’t wait for the next retreat.”

Caitlyn G, Lennox Head

“Thank you again beautiful ladies! Impeccably facilitated. You have a long and prosperous journey together I can feel it!”

Leigh O, Lennox Head

"When I saw Lyndal & Maddie's event announced, it was a fully-body YES! And I signed up not knowing what to really expect. 

I'm so glad I made the time to go to Homecoming - it was such a wonderful pause to a busy schedule and an important reminder to spend time connecting with oneself - in a group of open-minded, welcoming women.

Thank you Maddie & Lyndal for creating such a safe and beautiful space.”

Elle C, Lennox Head

Lyndal is a local Lennox mama, yogi, sound healer, breath and meditation teacher and level 3 master reiki practitioner.

Lyndal is passionate about co-creating safe, nurturing, healing and transformational experiences for women. There is nothing quite like sitting with other like minded, conscious women and co-creating a sacred container where women feel safe and able to be vulnerable to open up and be seen, heard and held.

Lyndal is always continuing to grow and evolve through her teachings and offerings, and she is currently undertaking studies in ‘Sacred Feminine Alchemy’, also incorporating deep and profound breathwork journey studies. She brings all of this knowledge, along with her yoga teacher training, yogic breathwork, meditation and reiki background to her offerings to co-create a safe, magical and soul nurturing container with her clients.

Lyndal’s life purpose is to help women to find themselves, so that they can connect to their innate deep inner knowing and wisdom, to the place that has all the answers, to the inner healer and wise one; so they can feel into their authentic truth to truly Be who they are in sacred and unapologetic totality. She can’t wait to co-create this magic with you too

Maddie is always continuing her personal and professional development, as she believes we are always a student of this universe!

She dives deep into the root cause- which can come from many aspects, such as physical, emotional, trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and more. She combines (depending on the client), holistic myotherapy, myofascial release, remedial massage techniques, deep tissue, dry needling, energetic healing, lifestyle adjustments, health & life coaching, rehab, mobilisations and more. Through her background in Health Science (Bachelor of Health Science- Clinical Myotherapy), Health and Life coaching certification (Institute of Integrative Nutrition), and many courses in Functional Rehabilitation, Energetic Healing, and Neuroscience- she has a solid under-pinning of knowledge and skills to draw from.
