Byron Hinterland

Nestled in the serene beauty of 'Jila' meaning "Healing Waters" in the Northern Rivers, in a property not normally open to the public, The Vitality Shift Retreat offers more than just an escape.

It’s your gateway to long-lasting transformation, where burnout is replaced with balance, and exhaustion with sustainable vitality.

If you’re seeking smarter ways to achieve your goals, with less hustle and more ease, then this retreat is for you.

What Awaits You..

Over 5 immersive days, you’ll:

  • Ease the physical and mental toll of high performance

  • Reclaim your energy and vitality

  • Rejuvenate your body, mind, and soul

  • Experience detoxification, healing and rejuvenation at a cellular level

  • Develop sustainable high frequency holistic health and wellbeing habits for longevity

  • Uncover what isn't serving you, making space for what is

  • Gain practical tools to build a lasting daily self-practice

This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a shift in how you live, breathe, and show up for yourself.

Imagine leaving not just recharged, but fully inspired and empowered with the skills and habits to thrive in all areas of your life, free from chronic stress, tension and pain.

Listen to what Renae had to say before and after...

"There was many moments for me; being in the Jila river, being by myself, and being around like minded people, but I think the most impactful and important was realising and speaking out loud about my self sabotage.

This made me own it and discover how I was holding myself back."

I now...

“Let go of perfection and honour the beautiful human I am.”

1. Holistic Rehab / Prehab Techniques

+ Functional Movement Training

For busy high-performers, these methods build the strength, stability, and resilience you need to excel in a demanding lifestyle.

Ease tension and reduce pain at its source with self soft-tissue therapy and mobility work, so you can move freely and stay at your peak—both personally and professionally.

2. Mindful Hatha Yoga and Breath Work

Practice slow, intentional yoga and gentle breath work to rejuvenate mind and body, improve energy flow, and support spinal health—so you can maintain calm, clarity, and resilience in a fast-paced, high-pressure world.

3. Meditation and Restorative Yoga

Learn tools to quiet an overactive mind, stimulate your vagus nerve (your body’s natural relaxation switch), and access deeper levels of calm, clarity, and self-awareness.

By creating this foundation of inner stillness, you’ll tap into greater intuition, insight, and creative genius—essential for breakthroughs and strategic decisions in high-pressure environments.

4. Human Potential and Mindset Workshops

Dive into powerful coaching designed to pinpoint and dismantle hidden blocks, break free from self-sabotaging habits like procrastination and perfectionism, and refine your leadership style with insights from the Enneagram.

8. Circle of Courage

Come together for a powerful evening in the Dome, where shared stories and heartfelt conversations foster deep connection, support, and renewed courage—allowing you to step back into your world with greater unity and resilience.

9. Fire Pit Gatherings

Gather under the stars with likeminded guests to share rituals, stories, insights, and laughter by the fire—fostering lasting connections and community.

10. Daily Journaling and Reflection

Rediscover yourself through guided journalling props for each session to cultivate deep reflection, contemplation, goal setting, and manifestation techniques—small, mindful practices that spark personal growth and keep you aligned with what truly matters.

Listen to what Davina had to say before and after...

"Circle of courage was a powerful self awareness and mindset session in a lovely setting, and skilfully facilitated by Louise.

Sound Healing with Gilly was a new and powerful experience.

Connecting, sharing, learning and enjoying the experience with others that were likeminded was also an important addition."

Listen to how one Soft Tissue and Yoga Workshop impacted the group...

"I’m moving more, setting my intentions in the morning, and moving more purposefully throughout my day.

I'm also journaling everyday again."

Elizabeth Barlow

Entrepreneur + Founder + Mentor

"It was profoundly healing to the mind, heart and soul.

I also had a deep experience during the cacao ceremony with Louise, and a beautiful chat afterwards that cleared some childhood healing."

Sandra Viljoen

"I gained more awareness of self ,relating to self and to others.

New body habits, practicing soft tissue work, and I cemented an existing meditation practice.

I created awareness around “slowing down” and my mindset amidst busy work days, not just at end of day or on weekends."

Davina Regan

"Truly Connecting, loving and observing myself."
