An Immersive Experience Dedicated to the Woman Behind the Mother
This is a chance step out of the relentless to-do lists, the invisible load, and the constant giving.
To remember the woman who holds the vision, the energy, the dreams... and soak in a day where your needs are not only seen but deeply prioritised. Set within the grounding beauty of the Gold Coast hinterland, The Nourished Mother Retreat is a space to exhale, reset, and receive the kind of nurturing and expert-led support every mother deserves. Through sessions on emotional nervous system, mindset, and modern motherhood, you will gain tools to move beyond coping and into restoration, embodiment, and true alignment.
LEARN MORE
The core experience is a full Day Retreat. For those who wish to go deeper, there is the option to stay overnight onsite, and extend into Friday. This allows you to experience the full nervous system reset, integrate the day's learnings, and begin Friday with morning yoga, a nourishing breakfast, extended wellness and mindset workshops, and full access to the estate grounds and facilities before checking out on Friday, anytime up until 4pm. For mothers in the earliest seasons, you’re welcome to bring your baby under 12 months, along with anything they need to be comfortable - pram, carrier, or all that supports you both best.
This retreat is not about escaping motherhood, it is about calling in a new approach. One that allows you to be all versions of yourself, and shows what becomes possible when you are supported in doing so. This is about reimagining what's possible in modern motherhood... to leave not just rested, but restored, clearer, stronger, and more connected to yourself. This is where mothers come to return to themselves.

The Journey of Unlocking with HSWG
Holding Space with Grace experiences go beyond mindset - they offer a return to the body, a softening of the nervous system, and a deep unravelling of the patterns and societal stories that keep us stuck. While much of personal development focuses on thought alone, true transformation happens when we bring the body, the subconscious, and the emotional landscape into the conversation.
Each experience is guided by our signature five-part unlocking framework, weaving together safety and connection, subconscious reprogramming, nervous system regulation, embodiment practices, and practical integration. Through a powerful blend of somatic healing and expert-led, practical workshops, every woman is supported from awareness to full embodiment—ensuring transformation isn’t just a moment, but a lasting shift in how she moves through the world.
Meet the founder
Grace Henry-Hicks is fiercely passionate about creating spaces where modern women and mothers can finally exhale. She believes there needs to be far more done to support mothers in meaningful ways…and she knows just how precious their time is.
That’s why her events are designed with overflowing care and attention to detail, ensuring they are never “just another day out.” Every experience is a full mind, body, and soul restoration.. created to offer real support, deep connection, and the tools mothers need to return to their lives feeling renewed and equipped.
Through The Nourished Mother and the transformation of Austinvilla into a sanctuary for healing and connection, Grace is on a mission to change the landscape for mothers everywhere. Because a mother gives endlessly - but who gives back to her? Grace believes a world full of nourished mothers uplifts humanity… and this is only the beginning.
