Strong, Energised and Well. The foundations of health for women 35+
Tuesday 18 August, 6:15pm – 9:00pm,
The Bridge Hub, South New Brighton.
This practical workshop delivers evidence-based information and actionable strategies to help women aged 35–65 understand and navigate the physiological shifts of midlife.
Led by Ranee Hearst (Balsam Natural Health https://www.balsamnaturalhealth.co.nz/) and Lucy Taylor (Wave Wellness), the evening focuses on the core pillars of vitality; metabolism, hormonal health, sleep architecture, and stress physiology, providing you with a clear, supportive framework to optimise your daily energy and physical well-being.
​
What we will cover together:
​
Nutrition, Supplements & Herbs: Discover why your energy drops after 35, how to manage blood sugar and cravings and support your gut health.
​
Yoga, Pilates & Functional Strength: Learn why maintaining muscle and bone health is vital. We will focus on functional movement and accessible Mat Pilates and yoga techniques designed to build core stability, improve alignment, flexibility and introduce easy "movement snacks" you can do anywhere.
​
Breathing & Meditation: Experience practical, down-regulating breathing sessions and a guided meditation designed to calm your nervous system, reduce your mental load, and manage stress physiology.
​
Sleep, Stress & Boundaries: Understand midlife sleep changes and learn practical tools to protect your daily energy boundaries.
​
Self-Enquiry & Journalling: Engage in simple, reflective journaling tools.
Come exactly as you are, spend a valuable evening for yourself and leave with a clear framework to feel strong, energised, and well.

Cost: $35 NZD. Bookings Essential.
Salt & Soul: Emergence & Anchor
A weekend yoga retreat for women near Christchurch.
Fri 16 – Sun 18 October 2026 | Accrington Farmhouse, Little Akaloa, Banks Peninsula, Canterbury, New Zealand.
2 nights.
​
Arrival 3pm Friday 16th, Depart 3pm Sunday 18th.
As the crisp energy of early spring begins to stir, the landscape calls us to do what nature does naturally: shed the heavy, protective layers of winter and begin to step into the light.
Salt & Soul is back for its spring chapter. Designed to connect you deeply with the raw rhythm of the coast and the landscape of the self, this edition focuses on the powerful interplay between growing upward and staying rooted. Because true growth requires a steady foundation, we cannot boldly emerge if we do not first know how to anchor ourselves.
Nestled in the peaceful beauty of Banks Peninsula at the historic Accrington Farmhouse, this exclusive weekend retreat is a boutique sanctuary limited to just six guests. This deliberate, small-group setting ensures a deeply personal, low-pressure environment where you are supported and guided.
​
NZD $980 per person.
​
All yoga equipment is provided.
​
Spaces strictly limited to 6 guests to preserve the boutique nature of this experience.
​
Whether you are seeking a spring reset, looking to deepen your movement practice, or simply needing space to breathe and be alongside a small community, this weekend is your anchor.
Step past the hesitation. The tide is turning, and it is time to emerge.
Soul & Salt: A Bespoke One-on-One Retreat
The Private Voyage for Body and Being
Soul & Salt is an exclusive, full-day immersive experience designed for those ready to move beyond the surface. This is a day of intentional contrast, pairing the physical "Salt" of your sweat and strength with the restorative "Soul" of deep stillness and self-enquiry.
In this private retreat, we use the full Wave Wellness spectrum of services to recalibrate your entire system. Whether we are refining your True North alignment in a Wavelet workshop or dropping anchor in a Submerge Yin session, every moment is tailored to your unique rhythm.
The Experience (highly tailorable)
​
-
The Salt: An invigorating local walk or an intense workshop and power flow to challenge your edges and build heat.
