RETREAT 

In today's modern world we may well be finding ourselves racing up career ladders in pursuit of success, only to find ourselves burnt out, tired, and unfulfilled emotionally, spiritually and depleted physically. So often we push ourselves relentlessly to a perceived material good, we forget how to feel, how to really communicate with others and stress becomes the acceptable face of real emotion and often leads to a life that is devoid of any real fulfillment. In response to this Woodlands has created intensive and transformative lifestyle programs that are aimed at those who are burnt out, at a crossroads in their life, facing an illness or struggling with a stressful situation.

Our healing modalities incorporated into your RETREAT experience at Woodlands::

INTEGRATED  Medical Consultation (R390 – 1hr) Whether you are dealing with a specific illness, stress or life crisis, an individualized programme will be created for you which could include medication, nutritional supplementation and dietary advice.

BREATHWORK (R390 – 1hr/ R100 pp for groups of 3 and more/ R500 for couples 90 min) Proper breathing has numerous benefits some of which include: greater oxygenation of your body, which will naturally regulate your blood pressure,  balance your endocrine system,  assist with insomnia,  and burnout, generally improving overall wellbeing.

SHADOW COACHING (R390 - 1hr) Wisdom comes from deep inside of you, and often we need to travel through our layers or our shadow  (depression, sadness, anxiety, loss of purpose) to reach a place of transformation. Shadow Coaching sees the signs of darkness as a guide and we use these signs in identifying what your deepest needs are, how to reflect accurately on what it is you are feeling, and to assist you in finding your purpose is in this lifetime enabling you to live with authenticity and gratitude. Techniques of counselling, coaching, breathwork and energy healing are combined in a shadow coaching session. 

COUNSELLING (R390 – 1hr) Psychological counselling is a process of self-development and change. Counselling provides you with the space to talk in a safe and supportive environment, explore thoughts, feelings and emotions. Through this process we reach a better understanding of who we are and why we feel and respond to life the way we do. We offer relationship counselling as well (R550 - 90min per couple)

BODYTALK (R390 – 1hr) A powerful energy healing modality that creates a state of balance within the body & mind, stimulating the body to heal itself – without medication or invasive interventions.

REIKI (R390 - 1hr / R480 -1.5hr) Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy and is a deep, powerful, healing and cleansing technique for the whole of the mind, body and spirit. Reiki is the ancient art of “laying on of hands” in order to heal. It is the use of touch to convey warmth, serenity, love, caring and healing, through the channelling of energy to enhance a person’s own life force.

REFLEXOLOGY (R390 - 1hr) Reflexology involves the use of very specific finger, thumb and hand pressure techniques on the feet which can have therapeutic effects on other parts of the body. Through these techniques the therapist is able to pick up imbalances in the body on both an emotional and physical level, and offer appropriate healthcare suggestions regarding conscious lifestyle choices to facilitate the activation the body’s healing potential.

ACUPUNCTURE (R350 - 1hr) Acupuncture is used to encourage natural healing, improve mood & energy, reduce or relieve pain and improve function of affected areas of the body. It is safe and effective and is often successfully used as an alternative to medications.
