Foundations to Thrive Workshop
Facilitated by your host, Stephanie, this gentle yet transformative workshop is the soulful core of every Thrive retreat.
Woven into the slower moments of your journey—often poolside, journal in hand, under the open sky—this experience offers a chance to pause, reflect, and realign.
Together, we explore four foundational pillars of life:
- Health & Vitality
- Relationships
- Finance & Stability
- Self & Soul
Through guided meditation, reflective journal prompts these sessions gently reveal what’s ready to shift—within and around you.
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you are beneath the noise.
You’ll leave with a personalised game plan and a renewed connection to your inner truth—feeling centred, empowered, and more aligned with the life you’re here to live.
You’ll be invited into this space intuitively, during the quieter pockets of your retreat.

About Your Host – Steph
For over 13 years, Steph has been guiding small group retreats around the world — from the wilds of Africa to the turquoise waters of the Maldives, and sacred spaces in Sri Lanka, Fiji, and beyond. Her background in luxury travel means every detail is thoughtfully curated — but it’s her heart-led approach that sets her journeys apart.
After years of running successful travel businesses and non-stop globetrotting, life invited her to slow down and go inward. She spent two years living in & out of Bali — healing, unlearning, and reconnecting to herself through stillness, culture, and the wisdom of the land.
It was there, with tears in her eyes and joy in her heart, that she knew: this is where she would bring women together.
Now based in Byron Bay, Australia’s wellness hub, Steph created Thrive Collection — a purpose-led retreat company designed for women ready to reconnect, explore, and come home to themselves.
Steph’s gift lies in creating space: space to rest, to adventure, to grow. She gently encourages you to step out of your comfort zone — because that’s where the magic lives. And in that space, something beautiful always unfolds.
This is more than a retreat. It’s a soul-deep experience that stays with you long after the bags are unpacked.
