A group of professional women will be taking much-needed time to focus on restoring their mind and body at a superb retreat, close Perth, from March 20-22, 2020.

Wellness expert and Perth naturopath Amanda Hobley said: “In a modern world, it can be overwhelming and very stressful at times juggling a family and career.

Our retreats are designed to nurture women in beautiful Australian bush landscapes.

“This is our third WA retreat to this amazing location. Kangaroos, kookaburras, emus, cockatoos, ancient lemon scented eucalypt trees and brightly coloured wattles surround you.

“Often women are trained to use their intellectual or, some might say, rational mind and not to feel. I can help women connect with their feelings, intuition and emotional needs.

“This weekend is all about self love. There are no deadlines, no expectations, no judgement, and it is focused on accepting all aspects of ourselves including the emotions that we sometimes suppress.

“The retreat also gives you time and space to acknowledge and process emotions such as frustration and resentment. By dealing with and accepting emotions, sometimes physical tension, stress and pain can be alleviated.”

For the first time individual pamper packs, locally produced by Gwendy Lawrence at Purity Organics, will be given to participants. The catering on the retreat is also amazing.

Amanda Hobley, who qualified as a naturopath in 2004 with an Advanced Diploma of Naturopath (PANT), has worked with hundreds of women, supporting and empowering them to learn to become experts of themselves.

Focusing on women’s health, Amanda combines her own life experience with over 15 years of clinical experience and sees clients at her Highgate practice.

“I have a special interest in women who are in transitional periods, and working through stress while longing to feel connected, calm, and balanced,” she said. “There is great joy in watching these women regain their energy, motivation, and love for life.

Along with her private consultations, Amanda guides wellness retreats and journeys both locally (as in this event), and internationally, with trips planned to Kerala, India, in October and The Camino, Spain, in 2021.

She has a diverse range of additional complementary skills including Bodytalk, Reiki and Sound Healing. She conducts private consultations, group workshops, and online courses. 

The Rejuvenation Retreat is nestled in the Darling Ranges, Chittering Valley it is within an hour’s drive from Perth city and airport. 

Those attending often spend time bushwalking, as well as doing a variety of optional activities including artwork or creative play.

There are still two places available. To book, visit Amanda Hobley’s Website.

Perth naturopath Amanda Hobley is leading business people to better mental and physical health through personally-guided retreats to Kerala in India and, locally, to Chittering, north of Perth, at two upcoming exceptional retreats.

Mrs Hobley’s next Indian retreat, a revitalising two-week health trip to an Ayurvedan resort in  Kerala, runs from August 10-24, 2019, while the Chittering Spirit of the Land retreat is next month, May 17-19, 2019.

In India, the party will eat vegetarian food in a lush paradise and receive Indian herbalist consultations and various relaxation treatments. She also guides weekend retreats closer to home in Chittering where clients can relax in a beautiful Australian bush setting.

“It’s about getting out of routine and into the rhythm of nature,” Ms Hobley says.

“In our culture, success means working extremely hard, often in environments that are quite toxic, so people can be going to work and experiencing huge amounts of stress. For example, they may feel like they’re being chased by a lion every day and this will trigger a massive stress response that is hugely detrimental. However, immersing yourself in nature can rebalance your emotions and be enormously beneficial.”

In her popular clinic, she has helped dozens of Perth clients, over the past decade, recognise that stresses as well as old traumas or belief systems maybe be adversely affecting their current health and wellbeing.

Mrs Hobley is also an expert in BodyTalk therapy. For this, muscles are posed a series of painless yes/no prompts and the response is gauged to determine bodily imbalances. She then taps the subject’s head, chest or navel to stimulate or accelerate its natural ability to balance itself.

“My passion is to help people who are very stressed understand that their stress is impacting on their physical, emotional and mental health,” Ms Hobley says. Among many aims, she focuses on improving their energy, clarity and stamina as well as helping clients feel calmer and uplifted.

“There are so many beautiful herbs and nutrients that help support your ability to cope with stress by giving you energy and stamina,” she says. “Many herbs calm the nervous system, so really do bring down anxiety.”

Amanda has been inspired by her personal experience, and the women she works with, to create a four-week online course to reduce the triggers of stress and increase ways to care, love and nurture yourself. Amanda will support you every step of the way and share new meditations and techniques that are simple and effective, creating a new way of responding to the stresses in your life. 

She is also an expert in iridology.
