About Us | Retreat Yourself

You don’t need to escape life to feel good, you just need to pause and come home to yourself. Retreat Yourself is here to help you do exactly that.

Our ethos

Retreat Yourself is built on the belief that a beautiful life isn’t something you find, it’s something you create, moment by moment. And it begins by choosing you.

Not in a selfish way, but in a way that brings you back to what truly matters: presence, connection, and joy. Because when you feel well, you live well, and everything around you benefits too.

Our ethos is simple: your wellbeing is made up of small, daily choices.

When you intentionally nurture the pillars that support you - your mind, your body, your spirit - you create a life that feels grounded, energised, and full.

You don’t need to escape your life to retreat. You just need to return to yourself. And our boxes are an invitation to do just that.

Not just through the products and rituals inside, but how you weave them into your days, as little reminders to slow down, reconnect, and choose you.

Our story

Kate Williams started Retreat Yourself in 2015 out of one simple truth - life moves fast, and it’s easy to forget to slow down.

Back then, she was working in the corporate world. On paper, everything looked fine. But inside, she felt stuck - racing from one thing to the next, stuck on the 'hamster wheel of life', living by the idea that happiness was found somewhere in the future.

She began to notice she wasn’t the only one. So many people were living on autopilot, counting down to weekends, holidays, or 'someday' when things would finally feel better.

Kate realised something had to change. She quit her job, studied holistic nutrition and personal training, and started dreaming up a way to help people feel good now, not sometime in the future.

That dream became Retreat Yourself - a seasonal box designed to bring the feeling of a wellness retreat into the everyday. A way to pause, breathe, and come back to yourself, without having to escape your life to do it.

What started from a small idea (and a few boxes packed in the spare room of her Torquay beach shack) has grown into a community of hundreds of thousands of women across Australia and New Zealand - all creating small, meaningful moments of calm in their everyday lives.

Created for the ones who do it all.

Retreat Yourself was made for the women who are always giving - to their families, their work, their world - and often forget to give to themselves.

Think of it as your seasonal ritual of slowing down. Instead of waiting for a holiday to feel like yourself again, each Retreat Box helps you find that feeling now - through simple, meaningful moments that fit into real life.
