Return to You Retreat

A Soulful Journey of Rediscovery & Radiance

A 3-day, 2-night women’s wellness retreat

31 October to 2 November 2025

Coochiemudlo Island

Dear woman who has held so much...

You’ve been everything for everyone — but when was the last time you were everything for you?

You’ve spent years caring, carrying, managing, doing.

You’ve been the glue, the safe space, the strong one.

But lately… you’ve felt like something is missing.

You’re not broken — just disconnected.

Maybe you’ve been saying things like:

“I feel like I’ve lost myself.”

“I’m running on autopilot.”

“I’m so tired, but I don’t even know how to rest anymore.”

“There has to be more than this.”

That quiet ache you’ve been carrying?

“What about me?”

It’s your soul asking you to come home.

And that’s exactly what this retreat is — a homecoming to you.

What Coming Home to Yourself Looks and Feels Like…

Imagine a space where you don’t have to hold it all together.

Where you can breathe, exhale, and remember who you are underneath all the roles.

On the beautiful Coochiemudlo Island, our home for the weekend

Return to You is more than a wellness retreat.

It’s a sacred pause. A loving reset. A gentle reunion with yourself.

Held on the tranquil shores of Coochiemudlo Island, this 3-day, 2-night women’s retreat is your invitation to:

  • Rediscover joy through movement and stillness

  • Reconnect with the woman you've quietly missed

  • Release what no longer serves you with grace and gratitude

  • Reignite your spark and step into your next chapter with clarity and confidence

  • Feel deeply seen, heard, and held by a circle of like-hearted women

You’ll be lovingly supported through:

  • Daily movement — yoga, embodied flow, and gentle pilates

  • Restorative rituals — breathwork, sound healing, meditation

  • Nature connection — barefoot walks, ocean swims, island serenity

  • Journaling, reflection, and creative expression

  • Sacred ceremony to reclaim your light

You don’t have to “fix” anything.

You just need space to be — nourished, supported, and surrounded by nature.

You don’t have to do it alone…

You’ve been strong for so long, but strength doesn’t mean doing it all by yourself.

At Return to You Retreat, you’ll be in the quiet company of women who just get it.

Different stories. Different seasons, but the same longing to feel more connected, more present, and more like yourself again.

Here, there’s no pressure to explain or perform.

You can exhale.

You can be you.

This is a safe, welcoming space held with gentleness, trust, and compassion.

Where stories are met with understanding, silence honoured, and soul friendships bloom with ease. 

You’ll be supported by the land, by the practices, and by a circle of like-hearted women who walk beside you with openness and care

What Others Are Saying...

Hear from women who’ve walked through this experience and left feeling lighter, clearer, and more alive.

If You’re Hesitating, You’re Not Alone.

We know what it’s like to crave this kind of space and still question whether you’re “allowed” to take it.

You might be feeling it now…

“Can I really justify this for myself?”

“Is it selfish to take this time away?”

“What if I don’t belong?”

“What if I’m too much… or not enough?”

“What if I’ve never done anything like this before?”

If you’re quietly asking those things, please know:

You’re exactly who this retreat was made for.

❤️‍You don’t have to earn rest.
This isn’t a reward for how much you’ve done. It’s a gentle return to the woman underneath the doing — simply because she matters.

❤️‍Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish — it’s sacred.
When you’re nourished and supported, you show up more present, grounded, and you.

❤️‍You are not too emotional, too sensitive, or too much.
You’re not broken or behind. You’re human — and worthy of this kind of care, exactly as you are.

❤️‍You won’t be alone in this.
Many women come solo. Many worry they won’t fit in. And yet… connection happens so naturally here. Judgment falls away. Masks come off. And real friendships form with ease.

❤️‍No experience? No problem.
You don’t need to know yoga, Pilates, or breathwork. Everything is guided gently, and it’s all optional. This is about coming home to yourself — not performing or keeping up.

And if the cost feels like a stretch, we understand.

That’s why we offer a flexible payment plan because your healing should never feel out of reach.

This isn’t a luxury.

It’s a lifeline back to you.

And you don’t have to keep waiting for “the right time.”

You’re worthy of this now.

You’ll Know This Retreat Is for You If…

Your heart’s been whispering, “I need this.”

And deep down, you’re starting to feel… this is exactly what you’ve been needing.

This retreat is for you if:

  • You’re feeling burnt out, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted

  • You’ve spent years putting others first — and you’re finally ready to come back to you

  • You’re navigating a life transition — empty nest, relationship shift, career pivot, perimenopause — and quietly wondering “what’s next?”

  • You crave deep rest, clarity, and connection (without having to explain, perform, or hold space for others)

  • You want to feel inspired, empowered, and alive again — in a way that feels gentle, grounded, and true to you

If even one of these feels true, this is your sign.

You’re not alone. You’re not too late. And you’re not asking for too much.

You’re ready.

Your Host, Dawn Edwards-Jones

Women’s Health and Wellness Coach, Healer, Holistic Menopause Expert, Pilates and Yoga Instructor and owner of New Dawn Pilates and Yoga

Hi lovely, I’m Dawn. And I’m so honoured to be walking beside you on this journey.

As a women’s wellness coach, yoga and pilates teacher, healer, and retreat guide, I’ve supported hundreds of women to come back home to themselves — in their bodies, their breath, and their lives.

But more than that… I’m a woman who’s lived it too.

I know what it’s like to give so much of yourself that you forget where you begin.

To feel strong on the outside but quietly worn down within.

To long for a deeper connection with yourself — and not quite know where to start.

That’s why I created this retreat.

Not as a “fix,” but as a sanctuary.

A place to soften, breathe, release, and remember the woman underneath all the doing.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be perfect.

You just need a willing heart and a little courage to say: I’m ready.

I’ll be here to guide, support, and hold space for you every step of the way — with compassion, care, and a deep respect for your unique journey.

Let this be your gentle beginning.

I can’t wait to welcome you.


With love,
Dawn xx


Your Invitation Awaits…

If your heart is whispering yes — even softly — trust that.

This retreat isn’t about escape.

It’s about remembering who you are when the noise quiets and the masks come off.

It’s about returning to the woman within — the one who’s always been there, waiting to be heard.

Spaces are intentionally limited to keep this circle intimate and supportive. If you feel the pull, don’t wait.
