Last Carer Reset Retreat dates for 2026 🤍
This retreat is for parents and carers of children with additional needs or disabilities.
When was the last time you gave yourself permission to be the priority — even just for 3.5 hours?
As we move towards the busyness of the end of the year, the demands often seem to grow while our own cup gets a little emptier.
Appointments, school transitions, end-of-year events, planning, advocating, Christmas, family commitments... all while continuing to hold everything that caring already asks of us.
The Carer Reset Retreat is a half-day opportunity to intentionally step away from all of that for a few hours — to pause, rest, reset and reconnect with yourself.
Each month, Niina also invites a guest facilitator to share a short, practical workshop, offering different tools, information or experiences that may support carers in their everyday lives.
Parenting children with additional needs or disabilities can feel like living in a constant state of alert.
Managing appointments, therapies, school meetings, behaviours, advocacy, and the ongoing mental load that comes with caring for a child who needs more support than most people realise.
Over time, your own needs often move further and further down the list.
This retreat won’t change everything — but for a few hours, you may feel a sense of belonging, and what it’s like to be a priority in your own life. And sometimes, that’s where everything begins to shift.
Created and hosted by a special education teacher and mum to two deaf and autistic daughters, this retreat is designed for parents and carers who are running on empty and craving rest, regulation, and connection.
This is not about being a better parent or doing more.
It is about pausing long enough to come back to yourself.
You will be guided through:
✨ Breathwork to reconnect mind and body
✨ Yin Yoga to slow down and find stillness
✨ Gentle guided reflection
✨ Creative craft activity to shift from thought into flow
✨ Short, practical workshop with a guest facilitator — exploring a different topic each month
✨ Connection with other parents and carers who truly understand
✨ Tea, nourishment, rest, and space to simply be
A space for you to:
Rest + regulate
Step out of survival mode and support your nervous system to settle.
Connect
Be in a room with people who understand the lived experience of caregiving.
Reflect + reset
How am I really doing?
What do I need next?
What intention could I set for the rest of the year or the year ahead?

You don’t need to hold everything together here.
You don’t need to explain, perform, or push through.
Just come as you are.
Because when a parent or carer feels supported, regulated, and safe, it changes the energy of the whole home. 🤍
