Early Bird Tickets now available

When was the last time you had a few hours where nobody needed anything from you?

Not an hour on the couch while you're still thinking about the washing, the emails you haven't answered or what needs to happen tomorrow.

Not squeezing something "for yourself" between everything else.

Actual space.

Space to slow down.
Space to breathe.
Space to notice how you're actually feeling.
Space to reconnect with yourself underneath everything you're carrying.

And maybe even enough space to ask yourself a question we don't make nearly enough time for:

What do I actually want?

That's why I've created The Reset.

A beautifully curated, intimate half-day retreat for just 12 women.

Not because there's anything you need to fix.

But because sometimes we need to step out of the noise for long enough to hear ourselves again.

AN AFTERNOON DESIGNED TO HELP YOU COME BACK TO YOURSELF

Throughout the afternoon, I'll guide you through a carefully considered journey using reflection, breath, body-based practices and sound.

We'll create space to look at what you've been carrying, what brings you energy and joy, and what you might want more of in the season ahead.

We'll use breath to move out of the constant thinking and doing and reconnect with the body.

We'll explore some of the physical tension we accumulate without even realising it.

And then we'll finish the afternoon with a deeply restorative immersive sound journey.

There's nothing you need to achieve.

Nothing you need to be good at.

And absolutely nothing you need to have figured out before you arrive.

Just come as you are.

WHAT THE AFTERNOON WILL LOOK LIKE

ARRIVE

We'll begin gently, with time to settle into the space and leave the outside world outside for a few hours.

I'll guide you through grounding and reflection before we explore one of my favourite questions:

If I could have, be or do anything, what would I want?

This isn't traditional goal setting.

It's an opportunity to step outside the practicalities for a moment and reconnect with what brings you joy, what gives you energy and what you actually want more of.

BREATHE

We'll move into a guided breathwork experience designed to help you get out of your head and reconnect with your body.
You'll always be encouraged to work at your own pace. There is nothing to force, achieve or perform.
We'll then give your body plenty of time to settle and integrate.

PAUSE

We'll stop for nourishing food, tea and space.
Talk if you feel like talking.
Sit quietly if you don't.
The space between things is part of The Reset too.

RELEASE

I'm incredibly excited to have osteopath Philippa Pownall joining us for this part of the afternoon.

I've known Philippa for around 20 years and have personally experienced her work for many of them.

One of the things I've always loved about her approach is the way she recognises the connection between what we're experiencing in our lives and what our bodies may be holding.

Philippa will guide us through a practical body-based session exploring tension and self-release, with simple techniques you can take away and use in everyday life.

I didn't want to add a "guest speaker" simply to make the programme look bigger.

I asked Philippa because her approach genuinely complements the work I do, and I think what she has to share belongs in this experience.

INTEGRATE

Then there is nothing more to do.

You'll settle down, get comfortable and I'll guide you through a full immersive sound journey.

No notebook.
No questions to answer.
No expectations.

Just an opportunity to let your body settle and allow everything we've explored throughout the afternoon to integrate.

Thick mats. Pillows. Blankets. Eye masks. All provided for you to get comfortable and truely switch off.

THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF...

Life is generally pretty full.

You might be raising a family, building a career, running a business, supporting everyone around you — or some combination of all of it.

Maybe nothing is particularly wrong.

You're simply tired of constantly moving from one thing to the next.

Maybe you've realised it's been a while since you asked yourself what you want.

Or maybe the idea of spending an afternoon where you don't need to organise, achieve, solve or take care of anything sounds bloody wonderful.

You don't need to be spiritual.
You don't need to meditate.
You don't need to have done breathwork before.
You don't even need to be particularly good at slowing down.

That's rather the point.

The Details

The Reset

Sunday 15th November 2026
11am to 3pm

Mackenzie Studios, 20C Karaka Street, Auckland

There is plenty of parking on the street.

A little note from me...

I've wanted to create something like this for a long time.

The more I've worked with breath, sound, the nervous system and energy, the more interested I've become in what happens when we deliberately create space in our lives.

Not to escape them.
Not to fix ourselves.
Just enough space to notice what's actually happening underneath all the noise.

To breathe.
To feel.
To remember what matters.

And perhaps to make one small intentional shift in what happens next.

The Reset brings together so much of the work I love into one afternoon, and I've thought about everything from the way the experience flows to how comfortable you'll be lying on the floor.

I want you to walk out at 3pm feeling different from how you walked in at 11.

Calmer. Clearer. Lighter. And a little more connected to yourself.

I'd love to have you there.

I had my first sound bath session with Holly about 3 weeks ago. It was a magical experience. Difficult to describe as it was a very different experience for me. I felt very relaxed and comfortable in the room. Beautiful soft lighting and very comfortable area to lie down on. I liked the weighted eye mask and the hot towel and the end, a very lovely touch. The experience was very relaxing. I meditated very quickly and thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of the sounds. I felt very light and calm afterwards and felt the effect for well over a week. I will definitely be back for another session. Thanks Holly, I’ve been spreading the word about your wonderful work.

I had a very special Reiki session with Holly. It was very powerful and the toning bowls greatly enhanced the healing benefits. I would definitely recommend a session with Holly.

Holly recently delivered an exceptional corporate sound bath session that was a hit with our clients and contacts. Her warmth, professionalism, and talent made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. We look forward to collaborating with Holly again, and would confidently recommend her services to any organisation seeking a unique and impactful wellness experience.
