🌸 WELCOME TO YOU TOPIA: WHERE WE PERSONALISE YOUR WELLNESS RETREAT IN ROTORUA🌸

From Overwhelm to Enlightenment - Transform Your Reality

Stop running on empty. Start living from your divine centre.

When you're constantly giving from an empty cup, you're not serving anyone - least of all yourself.

This isn't just about rest, relaxation and rejuvenation - this is about awakening the divinity within you.

We offer a safe and sacred space to allow your inner transformation to unfurl naturally.

We personalise every Wellness Retreat in Rotorua. Whether it's just you, coming by yourself or with a larger group - we look after you. It's what we do.

🔥The Real Problem You're Facing🔥

You're not just "stressed":

You wake up tired because your morning routine has lapsed.
You feel emotionally stretched because you're seeking validation externally instead of realizing you ARE already enough and uniquely divine.
Your creativity feels blocked because you're living from your mind's limitations, not your consciousness's infinite potential
You might be approaching or on the other side of "burn-out".....
Maybe you've got trauma to "deal with". You want to experience healing and peace, so you can "move on" to more fully live your best life.

It's ok - whatever you're going through, we've got your back.

We understand that sometimes your own needs and wants are put to the side, because you care so much for your loved ones.

However, now is not the time, to neglect yourself at the expense of others.

Let's flip the script!?

I'll show you how.

It's time for Look After Me, to look after you...

Let's honour, respect and look after yourself and go on a self-care journey together?

👉👉 Let's start the conversation?

✨ What You'll ACTUALLY Experience ✨

Our Wellness Retreats aren't just about rest and relaxation....

Although we know, from experience, the natural healing properties of warm, mineral-rich water melds away some of your deep-seated tensions, fears and worries.

This deeply curative and wholistically restorative experience is unique to the Rotorua region because it's the only place in New Zealand with a massive geothermal field.

Our 'Hot Tub Valley' is an Oasis of Wellness - with an incredibly deep and diverse array of healing modalities, therapies and treatments.

The real power of You Topia comes from access to Ancient Agamic Wisdom** and the breadth, depth and experience of our teachers, healers and facilitators who have naturally gravitated towards this sacred space.

**We describe the science behind this, in much more detail, further on.

We teach consciousness wisdom - elevating your consciousness through:

Morning Revolution Protocol: yoga, pranayama (breathwork), meditation
Energy Generation Science: Stop waiting for motivation - learn to GENERATE energy through action
Mind Mastery: Better understand and train your mind to work for you, not against you
Shakthi Awakening: Kundalini practices to awaken your innate powers
Nutritional Knowing: learning to listen to your body

You'll leave not just "relaxed" but RADIATING your true nature and most beautiful self!

"Where the sacred fire of the earth awakens the light of the goddess within."

🌟 The Transformation Guarantee 🌟

If you don't experience a fundamental shift in consciousness...

If you don't feel the awakening of your inner divinity - we'll refund the programme costs.

This isn't marketing.

This is my promise as an enlightened being:

We guarantee you will taste enlightenment.

🏡 Where will you stay?🏡

We have partnered with the top accommodation properties around the Rotorua Lakes, within our geothermal wonderland.

We've hand-selected only the rooms that have lakeviews or are lakeside for optimum relaxation. Naturally, we want to ensure you get the best deal. Here's our top picks:

Hana Lodge (Luxury 5 star)
The Black Swan (Luxury 5 star experience)
Holiday Home, Bed and Breakfast, Homestay or Apartment (4 star): Our Top 50 Lakeview or Lakeside properties.
The Prince's Gate (4 star boutique hotel) - top 22 rooms

✨Hana Lodge ✨

Hana Lodge is about a 20 minute drive from the Rotorua CBD and is located in the beautiful area of Hamurana on the fringes of Lake Rotorua.

It is surrounded by a lush 15-acre park, offering guests a peaceful retreat to relax and unwind. The tranquil location is perfect for those seeking a break from city life.

The bamboo cathedral, inspired sculptures, natural surroundings - all designed to raise your vibration. This is sacred geometry in action.

Guests have access to the spa, sauna, pool and the lake for nurturing your body.

The environment isn't just "luxury" - it's designed to enhance your concsiousness.

The Lodge has 13 well-appointed guest rooms, each equipped with full air conditioning, ultra-fast WiFi, Nespresso coffee machines, and complimentary non-alcoholic mini bars with snacks. We prefer you to have the lakeview suites, but this place is amazing if you have a small group or private family occasion.

🧡 Prince's Gate - Four Star Boutique Hotel 🧡

Tucked right in the heart of Rotorua, Prince’s Gate Boutique Hotel is the perfect place to unwind and feel completely at ease. This elegant heritage hotel has a welcoming, feminine charm - an ideal partner for our retreat.

The rooms are beautifully appointed, cosy and secure — ideal for a woman travelling on her own who wants both comfort and a touch of indulgence.

Hana Lodge and Prince's Gate are managed by the same team so you will be welcomed as a day guest at Hana Lodge.

❓Real Questions for Real Seekers❓

Q: I'm scared of "spiritual" stuff - is this too intense?
A: This isn't religion. This is science - the science of consciousness. You'll experience tangible shifts, not abstract concepts. Our Wellness Hub is faith-friendly and not governed by church or religion.

Q: What if I can't meditate or do yoga well?
A: Perfect! We're not about performance. We're about BEING. Your current state is exactly where we start.

Q: I feel guilty taking time for myself.
A: That guilt is often self-denial. We are not used to putting ourselves first. By awakening your consciousness, you become MORE available to others, not less.

Q: What if I don’t know anyone else attending?
Perfect. Most guests come solo — and leave with meaningful new friendships. We create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels at home. We encourage self-care, self-love and learning to be happy within yourself.

Q: What if something comes up and I can’t attend?
We offer flexible rescheduling options and a clear cancellation policy (14 days) to give you peace of mind.

🧡Your Story Could Be Next: Your Sacred Transformation Journey🧡

Imagine this: You arrive in Rotorua, carrying the invisible weight of a busy life that's been draining your consciousness energy.

As you step into our retreat space, you immediately enter an energy field designed to dissolve resistance.

The scent of native trees carries pranic energy through pure oxygen, and the lake's beauty awakens your innate connection to cosmic consciousness. You feel a hint of relief — recognizing this isn't just another wellness retreat, but a genuine experience to awaken your divine self.

Gradually, after gentle stretches that release stored emotional patterns, conscious breathwork that rewires your nervous system, and nourishing meals that purifies your energy body, you experience deep sleep — perhaps for the first time in months, where your subconscious begins its transformation.

Each morning as sunlight filters through our Wellness Hub, our sacred morning practices guide you to generate energy rather than consume it.

You stretch, breathe with precision, and feel the surprising lightness of awakened kundalini energy in your chest. You're guided through Agamic emotional processing techniques that don't just manage emotions but transform them into conscious power.

Throughout your retreat, we provide free time with options to choose an array of nurturing and self-care programmes, workshops or internal dialogue.

Rotoura is New Zealand's Wellness Sanctuary - please soak in our spas, hot tubs, thermal rivers and foot pools, laugh with new friends in conscious connection, and let your thoughts settle into the silence of your true nature.

In a workshop using self-inquiry, you reconnect with the divine dream you'd almost forgotten — the truth of who you ARE.

By the time you're returning home, you're not just feeling grounded and radiant — you're embodying the consciousness shift that you've been craving.

With Look After Me Wellness Retreats - you're not running away from your life — you're returning as the awakened being who can manifest the life you truly desire and be the best you can be, for your family, loved ones and personal mission.

Kia ora, Nameste and warmest greetings.

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm Julia. I'll be your Wellness Guide, Coach and Facilitator when you come to Rotorua.

Also known as Dr Julia Annie, Mum, Aunty, Daughter, Seeker, Events Organiser, Retreat Facilitator, business colleague, writer and now teacher.

We work in unison to take care of your Itinerary planning and travel arrangements.

✨ Why Dr Julia Annie? ✨

From Divine Touch to Conscious Awakening

I was born with birthmarks on my face that my mother called "the fingerprints of God."

Like a signature saying: "This one has work to do!"

This wasn't just symbolism; it was my first experience of divine energy physically manifesting, right there in bold red marks on my face.

When I was a little girl, I was taught by the Sisters of Mercy who shared with me, the compassionate teachings of Jesus, Mary his mother and Mary Magdeline.

In my last year of school, I was honoured with the Christian Leadership Cup for the way I conducted myself amongst my peers.

Throughout my life, my personal connection with God has been direct - frank and sometimes funny. My two-way conversations with God Energy have transcended religious boundaries and lead me into a wonderful life, doing what I love.

In my early career, I trained in DNA, mRNA and molecular biology. I have a PhD in Plant Molecular Biology and in 2002 won the Zonta Woman of Science Medal for my contributions to the public debate around Genetic Engineering.

After a Vision of hands reaching for a better Planet Earth, I left that career and founded Look After Me.

It's a hospitality network all of New Zealand. Our Lodges, Holiday Homes and Apartments provide a warm welcome for everyone.

During Covid Times, I pivoted our focus to help women reach higher levels of consciousness using helpful techniques passed down through the millenia.

The Quantum Leap: An Ancient Wisdom Programme - my recent Immersion at St Kitts, Caribbean.

I attended a profound Programme from 1 October to 1 November 2025 at St Kitts, in the Caribbean.

For a month I dove deep into ancient spiritual wisdom to support the health and happiness of my mind, body and soul.

I travelled 14,000 km around the world, driven by curiosity about the concept of an Avatar - the divine incarnated in human form.

Could this be real?

What I witnessed has transformed my understanding of possibility.

Every day, I watched miracles unfold - not as abstract concepts, but as living reality.

The "guru", affectionally known as Swamiji (which means enlightened master), was my first time in the presence of a divine being.

His presence confirmed what I'd always sensed: that enlightened consciousness is available here and now.

I embraced the experience of connecting with the feminine divine. For me, this was transformational.

Near the end of the retreat, Swamiji looked directly into my soul and declared I would become "the Greatest Teacher in the World."

For many months, I was shocked and shy.

More recently, after leaning in to the wisdom of Shiva Shakti - the divine masculine and divine feminine - I have embraced this as a recognition of the divine potential within myself and my natural calling.

Together with the Look After Me team and the Hindu Heritage Centre and our wider tourism operators, healers, teachers and community garden - I decided to dedicate my time to helping others connect with their divine self, through an experience called You Topia.

🌸The Scientific Seeker Meets Spiritual Technology 🌸

As a Plant Molecular Biologist turned spiritual facilitator, I bring both scientific rigor as well as divine intuition.

My quest for understanding led me from Transcendental Meditation and Ayurvedic principles to the profound wisdom of KAILASA - the United Ancient Nations Organisation who help support your tailer made programme.

My unique qualifications stem from:

Fresh from Full Immersion: I bring you the latest Agamic consciousness technologies, with grace and permission, directly from the Ancient Wisdom (PSS) programme
Direct Divine Communication: Since childhood, I've maintained an open channel with the Divine, receiving visions that guided my life purpose
Cross-Traditional Wisdom: Raised Christian, trained in meditation, now immersed in Agamic science - I bridge spiritual traditions with authentic experience and genuine care for you.
Scientific Mind, Mystical Heart: My background in molecular biology and fascination with quantum physics gives me the framework to understand consciousness as the ultimate science
I'm ready to tell my story: I'm a writer, author and performance poet. "The Secret Diaries of Julia Anne" chronicles my authentic spiritual quest with raw honesty
Miracles Witnessed: I've seen with my own eyes what's possible when divine consciousness manifests through human form

Why am I Your Ideal Facilitator?

In 2011, God talked to me about Einstein and Shakespeare.

Both incredible, impactful men - but I was like a cross between them.

He said one day, I would help "explain God concept and God energy to people,"

At the time, I didn't understand the depth of that prophecy.

Now, fresh from the Ancient Wisdom immersion, I realize: I'm here to facilitate the meeting point between your divine nature and your human experience.

Having hosted 30,000 guests through 'Look After Me Accommodation network', all over New Zealand, our network of rooms, homes, hotels and lodges, understands looking after people.

Having written psalms and poetry, I can feel into and know the language of the soul.

Now, after being trained by the ancient mystics from KAILASA, I feel empowered to share the consciousness technologies and practical teachings to make real transformation accessible to the every day person.

💬 What You Receive Through My Guidance 💬

You're not just getting a wellness facilitator - you're getting someone who has:

Just returned from deep Agamic training with fresh energy and techniques
Lived the quest for divine understanding across traditions
Documented the spiritual journey with scientific precision
Experienced the miracle of awakened consciousness firsthand
Bridges the gap between seeking and BEING through Agamic practices
Been recognized by an enlightened being for her teaching potential

I bring the authenticity of someone who has asked the same questions you're asking, and found answers that work in the laboratory of lived experience.

My facilitation comes from the place where all traditions meet: the direct experience of the Divine that is your birthright.

**The Science Behind Your Transformation: Ancient Agamic Wisdom

What Are Agamas?

Agamas are the ancient applied sciences of consciousness - the practical "how-to" manuals for enlightenment that have been perfected over thousands of years. While many spiritual traditions offer philosophy, Agamas provide the actual techniques for experiencing your divine nature. They are the essence of Vedic wisdom transformed into actionable technologies that create immediate, tangible shifts in consciousness.

Why Agamic Practices Create Real Transformation

Unlike generic wellness approaches, Agamic methods are consciousness technologies designed by enlightened masters who had no vested interest other than sharing pure truth. These practices work because they address the root cause of suffering - the patterns of Self-Doubt, Self-Hatred and Self-Denial (SDHD) that keep you from realizing your innate power. The Agamas contain precise formulas for energy generation, mind mastery, and awakening your natural state of bliss.

Our Agamic-Inspired Approach

Every practice in our retreat - from the specific yoga sequences to the breathing techniques, sound healing, and meditation protocols - is inspired by authentic Agamic science. This means you're not just relaxing; you're engaging with proven consciousness technologies that:

Generate energy rather than waiting for motivation
Calm your nervous system at the deepest level
Awaken your innate healing intelligence
Create permanent shifts in how you experience reality

The Agamic Guarantee

The reason we can offer a 100% transformation guarantee is that we're not offering temporary relaxation - we're providing access to consciousness technologies that have worked for millennia.

When you engage with authentic Agamic practices, transformation isn't just possible; it's the natural result of aligning with your true nature.

This process is especially effective when combined with the unique healing caldera of the Hot Tub Valley and it's geothermal fields.

Healing is faster, easier and lighter here by coupling ancient wisdom with the gentle but mighty support of mother nature, or Papatuanuku as we call her, here.
