REST ASSURED RETREAT
Return to you over 4 days, 3 nights
A moment in time where your only agenda is to return back to yourself. You want nothing more than to release life’s busyness and to return to your true baseline energy of radiance, purpose and fulfilment that you’ll carry away with you (not just experience it in the moment) and watch it create a ripple-on effect in the rest of your life.
Be fully taken care of & guided through an immersive experience that will transform the way you see yourself and show up in the world - in your full powerful, worthy, expressive fire. You will be taken through a journey to heal your relationship with your mind, body and expression of your soul. Through a series of workshops with Hillary and her favourite practitioners, you will be guided back to who you truly are and learn techniques & practices to create a life of flow & ease - in your mind, body and soul. You will leave feeling rejuvenated, unburdened and enlivened as you return back home.
Over the four days, you will be inspired to create a life true to you, create safety & calmness in your body, access deeper layers of awareness & clarity within yourself. You will connect with parts of yourself you may have felt were lost, and the parts of yourself you didn’t know was there. Leave behind all the stress, guilt, pain and burdens to discover and embody the REAL you - without the protective shields, people pleasing and low self worth patterns.
It is the perfect mix of resting the body and recalibrating your mind & soul. Just come ready to be held, supported and guided into your evolution.
Through a journey of workshops, connection, embodiment practices, breathwork and somatic releases - you will be guided into your next evolution. You will reconnect to your inner self and access your baseline, rightful place of joy and radiance. You will leave with a post-retreat glow & peace that shines from within, and spreads to all areas and relationships in your life.
With all this doing, is equal amounts being. You will have the space to integrate and restore your body - whether that be time in nature, in a spa treatment, napping by the pool or detoxifying in the sauna. You will meet and connect with likeminded humans to gather together in support, while eating nourishing meals under the stars.
This is an experience like no other, and cultivated from love and care right from the get-go. Receive it all, you deserve this time.
More than a retreat or vacation, this is a lifestyle & mindset transformation.
I have brought together my favourite practitioners, healers, yoga teachers, and people to create a truly transformative & life-redefining experience. You will have access to a line up of the greatest in their individual fields.

THE RETREAT TRANSFORMATION
DAY 1: IGNITE:
Learn how to connect to your body’s innate wisdom, knowledge and reveal the truth of who you are. Awaken the deepest aspects of your real self and release who you are not. When you understand your natural way of being, you attract what is right for you and release what isn't. Through a process of restoring your nervous system and connecting with your body’s messages, you will feel a full mind, body, soul connection and find the clarity and direction you’ve been seeking.
DAY 2: SURRENDER:
We see the world through our own eyes, stories, perceptions, preferences, biases. This retreat will mirror back to you where you are your biggest storyteller. We must release and no longer attach to our stories and conditioning to become truly free. Through a series of eye-opening exercises & wisdom sessions, you will become the writer of your future, instead of victim of your mind’s attacks.
DAY 3: INSPIRE:
Journey into your deepest self and innate power, exploring your full spectrum and potential. Unfold your purpose, unleash your creative fire and embody your feminine essence. Transformation happens when you meet your edge and inspire yourself by moving through it anyway. You will taste and embody the energy you wish to emanate in the world. Remember your worth & who you are, so you never forget it again.
DAY 4: CREATE:
This is where we create the difference you wish to see in your life. You will learn daily practices and techniques to help you to return to your inner calm & peace. Create action plan so that your Retreat transformation continues in the real world for months and years to come. You will be guided towards your inner clarity, confidence and true energy source, so your fears and anxieties no longer take hold.

Words from our past guests:
“What a magical 4 days I had at the Rest Assured Retreat. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, loved and safe. The warmth from Hillary and all other guests (who were complete strangers on day 1 but by day 4, soul sisters) is a precious moment in time that will forever be etched into my heart and memory. Hillary did not miss a beat with every little detail considered and well thought out. From the vast array of welcome gifts on my bed on arrival, to the incredible caterers who nourished us the entire time to the extraordinary facilitators who shared their wisdom with us, it was honestly the most wholesome weekend of my life. I walked away, actually more like floated away, with a deeper understanding of myself, of others and a profound amount of respect for the women who went on this journey with me. Everyone held space for each other in the most warm & loving way, could not be more grateful to every single person I encountered over the 4 days. Lastly, I'd like to take this opportunity to shout out to the woman who made this all possible, Hillary. Wow, what an awe-inspiring woman you are. Thank you for creating the most beautiful space that allowed each and every one of us to just be, no matter what that looked like. I will be forever grateful to the universe for bringing you into my life. You gave me the greatest gift a person could receive, learning to be more kind to themself xxx.”
“Hillary’s Retreat was was on the best decisions of my life. It was soul, mind and body nourishing. It changed my perspective on myself and my life, so everything shifted. I am so glad I invested in myself, I received so much and it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you Hillary! From the bottom of my heart.”

“I just sat for like 2 minutes crying deep tears of joy for my life & all that happened over the weekend. I cannot express how grateful I am to have met you & been a part of what you created over the weekend. I have been to some amazing retreats in my life, but nothing, and I mean nothing, has even come close to what you created - from the food, facilitators, facilities, workshop content but most of all the sacred space you created for all of us to let ourselves be seen. I've literally never felt so seen in ALL my life. And I'm 43!
I know we all did the work, and we really did, but you created the fertile ground (through all the unseen work you’ve put in to get to this point) for all the seeds of greatness to grow through & sprout up...and now we get to continue that beautiful growth process & continue to nurture and water ourselves. I hope in time, I have the opportunity to work with you in some capacity as I just think you are an exceptional human & you're here to do even bigger things than you even realize you're capable of! Much love & deep gratitude to you xx”

Hillary’s retreat was far beyond my expectations, from the first class teachers she engaged to the beautiful woman who attended, an experience that has definitely changed my life. Hillary held a beautiful space for woman to show up as themselves and in such a short time a “sisterhood” was created between all of us. If you are looking for a safe space to explore yourself and change your life this experience is for you. Such a beautiful balance between learning, being and resting XX

"Hillary is a wealth of knowledge and applies Human Design practically and realistically. She breaks it down so it is achievable and I saw change instantly in my perspective and outlook. She has a gift of reframing and changing the way you see yourself and reality. She helps you apply HD so that it jumps from theory to way of being. Thank you Hillary, your program was a godsend. "

I will be forever grateful for finding Hillary and her Rest Assured Retreat. I have been lost in a cloud of PTSD, anxiety and depression for a while. From the moment I arrived at the retreat I felt loved and cared for and left the retreat four days later feeling mentally lighter. Tears flowed that have been hiding for a long time. Thank you for introducing me to Vedic meditation. I feel that it has helped me calm the waves in my mind. Every detail of the retreat was well thought out with love and care in mind from the food, to the facilitators, the little extras surprises in our rooms and the beautiful dinner under the trees. I was so fortunate to have met the wonderful group of ladies and share an amazing time. Thank you Hillary.
Trish, Queensland
CONNECTION
We have received beautiful reviews, and one thing that touches women the most, is the sisterhood they become a part of. Connecting to like-minded women in a space void of judgement, rich in love, encouragement, inspiration. This is a safe place to land, where all is welcome, where you are held, and return to yourself
Facilitated by Hillary, Human Design Teacher
Hillary is dedicated to her mission of empowering people to be in their fullest, most free essence and step into their potential and purpose. Using a plethora of modalities such as Human Design, Breathwork, Positive Psychology and Mindset Work, Hillary helps people understand themselves better, shift the way they see themselves and the world, and how to best use their energy to create a life on your terms.
Hillary found Human Design in 2017 when she was working as a lawyer and it gave her clarity to let go a career that was leaving her unfulfilled and burnt out. She moved to Europe and studied Human Design in London, and has dedicated her time since then to teaching and sharing the practice all over the world to help others understand themselves deeply at a fundamental core level. When you understand how YOU work, then you can create a life of ease and satisfaction, rather than swimming up the stream of resistance & struggle. Hillary’s mission is to change the way you see yourself and your perspective of the world, for a happier and more fulfilled life. All this beautiful information is only as valuable as you are able to integrate and apply practically in your life. This is what we will do on Retreat - use this awareness to transform how you live.
