Can I show you something exciting? 🤍

This is Te Karaka Station & Lodge, and honestly, walking through it made everything feel more real.

It's the venue I'm dreaming of for Exhale, and the moment I stepped inside I just knew. Warm, calm, and exactly the kind of place where women can show up, put everything down, and just breathe.

We're still fundraising to lock it in (the deposit won't pay itself 😄), but I wanted you to share in this moment because you're part of this too. Every share, every kind word, every person who joins the waitlist is helping us get there.

More soon. 💛

We’ve found our place.

After a long search, I am so happy to share that we’ve found the home for Exhale, a calm, light-filled retreat in the green hills of Waikato, with room to rest, connect, and simply be yourself.

Warm rooms, wide views, gentle care, and slow, unhurried days. No agenda. No expectations. Just a place that finally feels like ours, and yours.

There’s a seat here for you, whenever you’re ready. We can’t wait to welcome you home.

Some days it's a deep breath at a stoplight. Some days it's saying no to the thing you really didn't want to do anyway. What does 'exhale' look like in your life right now? I'd love to hear. 🤍

This Mother’s Day feels different for me.

One thing cancer has taught me is how precious the ordinary moments really are.

The cuddles. The chaos. The noise. The messy breakfasts.

Today I’m holding extra gratitude for simply being here for it all.

So today, this is your reminder to pause...

Take the photo. Drink the tea hot. Sit in the sunshine. Let someone help.

You are allowed to exhale too. 🌿

There was a before....

And then there was an after.

At 35, and a mum of 3, I was heard the words Metastatic cancer and my life was forever changed.

Some days feel heavy.
Some days feel quiet.
Some days are full of joy.

But I know there are many other out there fighting the same battle, who deserve some rest, relaxation and joy in their lives.

This retreat is being created from the feeling.

Not perfectly.... Just honestly 🤍

This space was created for women navigating metastatic cancer and need a moment to breathe.

When everything feels like a lot.
When you're holding more than you expected to.
When you just need somewhere soft to land.

No pressure, just connection, relaxation, and hopefully some moments of fun.

So join me on the journey to the first Exhale Retreat.
