NUMALA
OUR STORY

ICON_edited.jpg

For many years, I was deeply entrenched in the corporate world, and later in my own business, where the demands of work and caring for others often took precedence over my well-being. In the relentless pursuit of a successful career, I noticed relaxation and self-care were frequently forgotten. Over time, this constant focus on my “to-do list” and “getting things done" led me to lose touch with my sense of peacefulness—and ultimately, myself. In addition, I was also curious about the origins of this mindset and persistent drive.


I thus made a pivotal decision: to gather the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and reclaim the inner stillness I had lost. This journey was anything but easy. It spanned many years and involved traveling, exploring, reading, researching, and experiencing a variety of programs, courses, and teachings, all in search of the answers I longed for.

 

My quest for peace and tranquility ultimately led to the creation of my transformational program: R.A.R.E. (Review.Accept.Release.Empower).


Despite the profound impact of R.A.R.E., I realised something was still missing—a place where men and women could regularly retreat to experience deep inner peace and tranquility. I envisioned a sanctuary that would not only accelerate personal transformation but also serve as a safe haven where individuals could completely retreat and relax.

And so began my quest to find the perfect location. After

an exhaustive search, I discovered the ideal spot—eight acres of breathtaking fauna and flora nestled in the lush Bonogin Hinterland. This serene and secluded haven would become Numala Wellness Retreat.

 

Numala, meaning "embrace" in the Yugambeh dialect, perfectly encapsulates what this retreat offers—an opportunity to embrace peace, and stillness, and step

into quiet. Whether guests seek personal transformation

or simply a place to unwind and de-stress, Numala has something for everyone.

 

Built-in 2017, Numala Forest Retreat is just a short drive

from Robina Town Centre and the M1 and only 25 minutes from the Gold Coast airport. While it offers the tranquility

of nature, it remains conveniently close to all the quality amenities the Gold Coast has to offer.

 

From the moment guests meander down the tree-lined driveway and cross the creek, they begin to feel the

magic of Numala. The cool, clean air and lush

surroundings immediately invoke a sense of relaxation,

and it’s no surprise that once here, guests never want to leave.

Numala Wellness Retreat is more than just a place—

a vision brought to life, a sanctuary where individuals

can rediscover themselves and reconnect with the inner peace they deserve.
