Many women today are navigating a lot in life. Do you feel that too?

If you’re craving rest and reconnection to your authentic self, this intimate 4 day WOMEN's ONLY retreat - EMBRACE is here for you.

Why EMBRACE?

We’re all moving through a rite of passage from early womanhood to wise womanhood. Yet, we were never taught to access our deepest wisdom, honour our cycles, or ground ourselves fully. Without the support of sisterhood and the wisdom of experience from those around you, it’s easy to feel lost and disconnected.

EMBRACE is designed to help you through powerful rarely offered breathwork, movement and teaching :

  • Step into your feminine power through your own unfolding with curiosity and creativity

  • Access your intuition and inner wisdom

  • Shift from “doing” to “being” in a beautiful, peaceful setting

Imagine This...

You’re turning off the main highway, and the road turns to dirt, marking the moment you step away from daily life.

You arrive at Grasslands Estate—a secluded, 5-star property nestled in the peaceful countryside of Mount Duneed.

As you approach the house, laughter spills through the open doors. Heather and I welcome you with a warm embrace, inviting you to “Come in, just as you are.”

That night, you unwind with a special meditation and connection session and float into bed, finally at ease. Over the next two days, you will experience healing, joy, and release through moments of quiet, laughter, and connection.

What to Expect at EMBRACE

🌸 Daily Yoga and Movement - Ground and reconnect with your body

🌊 Conscious Connected Breathwork - Including a transformative water breathwork session with sound healing

🔥 Sacred Circles and Cacao Ceremonies - Deepen your connection and nurture your spirit

💫 Akashic Readings - Unlock your intuitive gifts with a personal 30min guidance from Heather

🌿 Nature Walks and Ocean Meditation - Embrace the calm of the ocean and the land

🌟 After-Retreat Support and 1:1 Session with Vanessa - For ongoing integration. This is RARELY offered after retreats. VALUE $1000!

Each day, as you are gently led into each unique experience tailored for you, you’ll feel lighter, a gentle release as clarity and calm fill your body and mind, uncovering the layers of beauty that lie dormant within you.

The Location

Grasslands Estate is a tranquil, newly renovated property in rural Mount Duneed, just 5 minutes from Torquay and 10 minutes from the ocean. Wide verandahs overlook lush green spaces, a serene pool, and miniature goats that welcome you with gentle curiosity.

Hello, I'm Vanessa Mollard

After 25 years in Malaria Drug Discovery, my passion for helping professional women emerged when I was burnt out. I sought natural, long-lasting healing for my health issues which gave me back my vitality and deep connection with spirit. For over 5 years, I have used breathwork and many modalities in unique ways to help women discover their true potential through workshops, classes and retreats.

I am unapologetic about empowering women to be in flow as powerful joyful leaders in their lives.

When not "sciencing" & figuring out what makes humans tick, I can be found surfing or wing foiling in the ocean tapping into the rawness of mother nature, one breath at a time

Why we do what we do!

I had the pleasure of having Heather in a Akashic records healing session. Heather has the most beautiful grounding technique that I have not experienced before. The healing session I received was exactly what I needed for my journey moving forward. I highly recommend Heather and have so much gratitude and love for the gifts she has to share and look forward to seeing her again. With so much love.

Vanessa’s breathwork sessions helped me become aware of stresses carried in the body, re-set my sleep pattern to escape insomnia, and begin to rest deeply. Following up on initial group work, our one-to-one conversations have helped me keep up the power of this practice. I recommend Vanessa Mollard if you're seeking space to make a change and develop healthier, happier habits!

I was blessed beyond belief last night to have a Breathwork session with Vanessa. During my session I found myself crying. I have been profoundly moved by this experience. I know in my brain that I am loved, and as I hugged my inner child last night, I now know in my heart that I have always been loved. I have shared my experience with my husband, and told him that I am falling back in love with myself. He got it and understood. Thank you Vanessa. Arohatinonui ehoa.
