Recalibrate Retreat

Hanmer Springs

9th -11th October 2026

How do you really want to spend the next 20 years?

Retreat from the noise. Release what's been holding you back. Reconnect to what's important.

When we start to fall upwards, in midlife, it is at the same time exhilarating and scary. But we are wiser, by now aren’t we?

Why can’t we just know what we want, and move forward?

The Recalibrate Retreat will rewrite the next chapter with you.

The Retreat is perfect for you if:

You want to stop saying YES to everyone ... when inside you’re screaming NO.

The kids have left home ... but you can't find a way forward or a new dream to dream.

You finally want to speak up at work or make a career change ... and feel stuck on what's next.

Your business is holding you hostage ... when you want to feel free.

You're ready to step out of the loop that only leads to burnout.

You have a health goal, or sales goal, or travel goal ... but you just can't seem to achieve it.

Are you ready?

To trust yourself instead of questioning every decision?

To speak up without replaying the conversation afterwards?

To be bold, brave and start taking action?

To move through life with clarity and ease?

To have deep conversations and spend time with like-minded, growth-focused women?

YES BUT IS IT FOR ME?

What will the Retreat give me?

Recalibrate is a transformational weekend designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself and become the woman your future is asking you to be.

    +  Get to the root of your old thinking and the way it holds in your body.

+   Explore your next steps, test how they feel, and how you’ll actually move with them, later.

+ Learn tools and language that match the ‘you’ you are becoming.

+ Find peace and quiet, space, good food and conversation separated from your regular (broken-record) soundtrack.

A WEEKEND TO RETUNE AND TRANSFORM FROM THE INSIDE OUT

The Recalibrate Retreat is space to tune into your future self, the woman you are becoming, how she moves, and what she thinks and feels. What does it entail?

Let Jane and Paula expertly guide you through a unique blend of mindset coaching, belief transformation, somatic movement and embodiment practices.

Why Mind and Body?

Your old programming keeps winning because the mind, or the body, on its own has its limits. You can write affirmations. You can visualise success. But it will come to nothing if your shoulders still round forward and your nervous system braces for rejection your body might still carry the identity of someone who needs to stay small. And vice versa.

Paula guides you to uncover and transform the beliefs that have shaped your identity.

Jane helps your body release old holding patterns and create new ways of moving that support who you're becoming.

Together we help you answer one powerful question:

Who do I need to become to create the life I truly want?

Shed beliefs you used to need

Get comfortable with looking to the future rather than the past

Learn practical tools you can continue using at home

Give your nervous system some time out

What's it like to work with us?

Here's what our clients say

I highly recommend Paula's coaching and NLP work.
After our 3rd session I experienced a shift in my confidence, clarity and a profound sense of freedom and lightness of which I'd never experienced before.
J Seaward, Christchurch

For the 1:1 session with Jane I was interested in how Feldenkrais & Jane's facilitation may be able to support my healing of attachment anxiety. It really helped me to feel more grounded & sovereign in my body. Candis Hawkins, Christchurch

Paula has a quiet gentle way of working that creates seismic change. Whatever you are dealing with, Paula quickly and effectively gets to the heart of the matter. Hayley McLachlan, Christchurch

I didn't expect that moving differently would change how I think about my choices. How I can decide and know deeply what I need and to trust that. Jane's work is very effective and works on the mind as much if not more than the body… my body just responded. Elze Wit, Christchurch

some kind words from our clients

Paula is an incredible coach whose genuine care and deep knowledge really stand out. She offers support that feels both insightful and practical, helping you see things clearly and move forward with confidence. I come away from every session on an absolute buzz – having learned so much and feeling genuinely inspired. Her guidance has made such a positive impact – I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I highly recommend Paula as a coach. She has helped me see that there were other options at a time when I felt very stuck and trapped in my situation.
Paula has helped me to take the steps necessary to allow these opportunities to unfold, to open the doors I was firmly holding shut around me.
The biggest changes I have noticed in myself is that I can trust my own decisions. I can recognize when things are not working for me and can change the situation rather than putting up with it.
If you are feeling stuck and cant see away out, then talk to Paula

I came to Jane to help with the process of grief after experiencing a loss. What surprised me most was how needed the session felt; I was amazed at how the FI allowed my body to relax - perhaps the most relaxed I have ever been. I really noticed how grounded I felt after the session and how much of a difference it made to how present I was throughout my day. I believe that everyone could benefit from a FI with Jane; being able to let go of tension and experience such relaxation was a profound experience that I would recommend to anyone.

Im so glad that I choose Paula to give me some guidance with my current work and career situation.
Her calm and caring manner put me at ease immediately and I knew I had made the right decision.
She is excellent at what she does, goes beyond to really give you personalised guidance, is truly intuitive and I learnt far more about myself than I ever expected.
I am looking forward to using the many tools that Paula set me up with to move forward with my goals.
To me this was one of the best investments for my future I could have made.
Thanks Paula x
