Stand Tall Retreats

A beautiful weekend away from the chaos of busy lives and the chance to rest and reconnect with ourselves. Amy has curated an amazing retreat with every detail perfectly thought out - she thinks of everything so you don't have to. The perfect mix of activities and relaxation so you walk away feeling truly energised inside and out. Cannot recommend this retreat enough!

The best part of Stand Tall retreats is that for a few days you don't have to 'adult'. Amy thinks of everything, organises everything, and takes care of you in a gentle way which means that the littlest thing is taken care of without fuss and bother. Add in to that amazing nurturing food, wonderful women, and activities that gently stretch and build confidence. I came out of the weekend feeling like I'd been hugged for three days. I can't wait for the winter retreat!

This retreat exceeded every expectation.I wasn’t a retreat type of person before but I certainly am now!The best food, company and experiences I could have asked for.Amy is such a delightful human and knows how to spoil.Sign me up again!!

I went with a girlfriend who was experiencing some massive changes in her life and we both needed to get away and clear our minds. It was lovely to be in a beautiful supportive space with other lovely women, have some fun with the adventure sports and activities organised, eat some healthy delicious food, get educated on relevant women's topics, pamper and nurture ourselves and relax. Amy was the perfect host, ensuring that everything ran smoothly the entire time.

Such an incredible few days! Amy has created a very unique and perfectly balanced retreat experience. I loved every part of it and would highly recommend it to all women. I left feeling beautifully nurtured, nourished, recharged and empowered. Thank you Amy!

I needed some time to feel like I was being nourished and looked after and Stand Tall totally provided that! And more… I came away feeling nourished, relaxed, refreshed and inspired. Amy goes above and beyond to look after all aspects of your body and soul. It’s really special.

Amy puts her heart and soul into Stand Tall Retreats and it shows! I recently attended the spring retreat in Kangaroo Valley and it was a wonderful weekend with the relaxed vibes I was after. The food was amazing, lots of lovely movement with Pilates and yoga and excellent sessions. I especially loved the perfume oils workshop. Highly recommend.

My husband took his life during covid lockdown, three days after our daughter’s 21st birthday in 2021. Beyond awful. I needed to run away. To heal. Then I saw an ad for Stand Tall Retreats and couldn’t believe the timing of it. I sent it to a friend of mine saying I’d love to go. However, I couldn’t afford it at the time. My friend came back immediately saying she would pay for me to go with her. I was so humbled. What we experienced was beyond expectation. The activity program was perfect. The whole, fresh foods were simply stunning in their plating and even better in the tasting. Our room was a divine oasis we spent very little time in as we were busy doing Pilates; chatting with wonderful women and sharing stories of lives lived; learning to surf and horse ride; exclusive shopping with champagne in the most gorgeous place. My favourite part was…all of it. I felt nourished. My friend Anna and I got to know each other better. I felt cherished by Amy and the women on the retreat. I didn’t want it to end. If you want a very special retreat to go with your girlfriends - call Amy. I’ll be going again.

The location of the Listen Within retreat could not have been more perfect for a day of time out, reflection and relaxation- it was set among shady trees, rolling landscapes and beautiful spaces. The retreat was a delicate but well thought out balance of movement, time for listening and sharing, time alone to rejuvenate, and of course time to refuel! I can't wait to book a 2020 Stand Tall retreat, but in the meantime I'll continue to find small pockets of time in my days to just 'be'.

The perfect balance of relaxation, luxury and adventure. The accomodation was clean, comfortable, impeccably styled and our food was delicious.Thank you Amy for being the perfect host and creating a beautiful space to nurture my body, mind and spirit.I can’t wait to attend another retreat in the near future!
