Lorna Sullivan , from Happy Hearts Healing. Lorna Sullivan has a private Treatment Practice in Kalamunda writes:- ‘Very excited to be part of the Healing Retreat, Sunday, 25th November 2018, offering ½ hr@ $40 or 1 hour @ $70 and For Reiki or Indian Head Massage treatments.’
Lorna Sullivan writes:- ‘In 2007, I was attuned to Reiki level 1, led by the need of my own inward healing journey. I started out my intuitive healing as a young girl in Catholic primary school, where Francess and I both attended. I was aged 12, when my friends, would be lining up at the sports carnivals for me to massage their temples. Those vivid memories are still so very clear, as we lay on the blankets in the sun, with their head on my laps. Massage & Nurturing, has become a passion for me ever since.
- 2015 Reiki Level 2 with Canadian trained, Reiki Master, in Bali Ubud.
- 2016 Certificate in Indian Head Massage, with Avalon Beauty College.
- 2018 Level 2 – Certificate in The Raindrop Technique, and Training in Vitaflex Technique, with Raindrop Australia.
- Now a Registered Practitioner, with The International Institute Complimentary Therapies.
I look forward to you joining us at Francess’ Healing Retreat. It’s a truly beautiful property in the blissful hills of Greenmount. With some heart and soul tendered to this garden, giving fresh grown produce, in such a nurturing place, just to be….. It will truly lead you, on a soulful and breathtaking journey within.’

Yoga & Meditation sessions will be led by people like the following
24-25 Nov Retreat teacher is William Forde
William Forde has practised yoga for 7 years and obtained his 200hr YTT at the Yog Peeth ashram in the Himalayan mountains, namely Kalimpong, West Bengal and is an RYT 200 with Yoga Australia. He promotes a conscientious, breath-conscious, slow approach to hatha teachings, which resonates most with the traditional Indian Satyananda lineage of Hatha and Vinyasa.
William’s most unique class is his Yoga Nidra, for those wanting to go deeper into the subconscious programming and unconscious connection. Will is most passionate about bringing groups together in the outdoors and cherishes time spent in nature the most.
His classes promote self-love, diversity and positive affirmations to improve strength, balance and leadership. Enjoy being yourself, whilst contemplating philosophy in action, posture variations and cues to make classes less rigid and more accessible to a wider range of bodies.
Courtney Henry 🙂 Courtney teaches a gentle Vinyasa flow sequence, suitable for all levels. She incorporates Buddhist teachings into the practice of yoga and encourages use of both kindness and mindfulness for the body and the mind. Courtney has been meditating for nearly ten years and has attended a number of silent meditation retreats with local monks in Serpentine. She completed a 2 year (350hr RYT) yoga teacher training at a studio here in Perth. She currently teaches at studios in Claremont, Bibra Lake and Fremantle.

She began annual training courses in India in 2016 and she completed her 2018 training courses in Hatha Yoga 500hr TTP & Authentic Yoga Nidra 6 day training workshop – Himalayan Yoga Tradition, Rishikesh, India in March.
She says ‘Since taking up Yoga practice on a regular basis, I have seen my life transform.
My goal is to help people to build a bridge between the stressful job and a balanced lifestyle and to help them find the time to do this.
As we age so often our health starts to deteriorate and the solution offered is drugs which do not cure. Would it not be more beneficial to prevent this deterioration by balancing the body and mind through Yoga practice on a daily basis and take ourselves into old age gracefully with health, vitality and inner peace.’
