Bali Liberation Immersion | A Nourishing Notion

Release & Rise Retreat

WEIGHT LOSS - BUT NOT THE WAY YOU’VE BEEN SOLD IT

You've done the calorie counting & restriction.

Busted your gut in the gym.

Guzzled the protein shakes.

Tried to ignore the cravings and distract yourself (usually with a bitta scrolling).

Restricted yourself until you're dizzy, cranky, and crying in the pantry as you munch down an entire packet of Tim Tams.

Let's dig a hole and bury that traumatic, restrictive, surface level "stuff" 6 feet under.

I do weight loss the soft, soul-led, sustainable way.

The Hannah way.

Yup - I'm sharing the exact processes that I take my clients through within my 14 week mentorship - except...

This is a fully immersive, rapid reset for body, mind and spirit over just 5 days.

We're releasing what’s REALLY causing you to hold on to weight - not just physically, but energetically, mentally and emotionally, too.

Reset button

You’re not just carrying body fat

You’re carrying:

The judgement of family members watching what you eat & making unsolicited, unwelcome comments

The shame of what someone once said about how you look

A fear of being truly seen and standing out...turning heads even!

Late-night emotional eating that you hate...but can’t stop

The negative thoughts you repeat every time you look in the mirror

The stress hormones (cortisol, adrenaline) keeping your body in fight-or-flight

The belief that unless you suffer, you won't get results

No regrets - a rule to live by!

Does this sound familiar?

The way you currently eat feels restrictive and unenjoyable

You drink lemon water but skip breakfast (hello intermittent fasting)...yet often end up craving sweets and giving in to those cravings, or over-eating in your "eating window"

You binge and save wellness content on Instagram but are too overwhelmed to start anything

You spend money on supplements that either sit in the pantry getting closer to their expiry date...or you take them but don't know if they're really doing anything

You avoid mirrors or only wear loose clothes; and dream of fitting into that

Your internal dialogue is MEAN asf and not something you'd ever speak aloud to your loved ones

You prefer to spend money on your nails, jewellery, hand bags and shoes because clothes buying feels too difficult

You ignore your emotions & people please, then reach for food, wine, or scrolling to cope with the discomfort of self-abandonment and resent.

You feel like "just a head" - totally disconnected from your body, your feminine essence, and your pleasure.

Geddittttttt!

This retreat is for you if...

You feel heavy - physically, emotionally, energetically - and you’re ready to finally let it go.

Bloating and puffiness is the norm and you feel like nothing fits you right

You rise feeling tired and go to bed feeling even more tired (although you get a second wind most evenings - hi adrenals, we see you!!!)

You snack after dinner and crave sweets

You feel guilt around your food choices

You feel an ICK when you look at yourself in the mirror

Your hormones seem to be running the show

You try to be ‘good,’ but end up sabotaging yourself

Everything is a big fat rush & you don't know how to rest, or feel guilty for it

You've done all the right things and still feel heavy & exhausted

You're worried you're never going to feel better

You spend too much time and energy thinking about food and your weight.

You feel stuck in your life and know it’s deeper than just weight.

Slowing down feels unsafe...if you stop…everything might fall apart....

You’re done outsourcing your power to diet plans, fitness regimes or quick fixes.

You want to reset your relationship with food, your body, and yourself - from the inside out.

You struggle to know who you are, what you want...but you know there's more for you out there and you're not willing to settle

You’re ready to feel vibrant, sexy, sensual, alive, and at peace in your body again - and you know you can't put that off any longer...

Count me in, sis!

Leave retreat feeling...

Physically and emotionally lighter than you have in years
“My bloating is gone. I feel clear, energised, and comfortable in my skin.”
“I’m finally pooping every day without needing coffee or supplements.”
“My skin is glowing, I’m sleeping better, and my period came without pain or drama.”
“I feel leaner, clearer, and more connected to my body than I ever have.”
“I’ve lost actual weight — but more importantly, I lost the heaviness I was carrying.”

💗 From the emotional space:

“I didn’t realise how much I was holding onto until I let it go.”
“That inner child healing cracked something wide open in me — in the best way.”
“I finally feel safe in my own body.”
“I’ve stopped judging myself so harshly. I actually feel love for myself.”
“I’m not scared of my emotions anymore — I know how to move them.”
“This retreat gave me permission to feel, express, and exist fully.”

🌀 From the energetic and spiritual side:

“It’s like I’ve been recalibrated on a cellular level.”
“I feel calm, centred, and in my power — no more anxiety running the show.”
“I trust my body now. I trust my intuition.”
“It was more than a retreat — it was a rebirth.”
“This shifted something I’ve been trying to heal for years — in just days.”
“I’m leaving with tools I’ll use for the rest of my life.”

🌸 In real life, they’ll be:

Eating in a way that actually works for their body — no more guessing or googling
Saying no without guilt, setting boundaries with ease
Starting their day with intention instead of chaos
Feeling sexy, strong, and confident in what they wear
No longer bloated, fatigued, or obsessing over food
More emotionally regulated, calm, and self-led
Lighter in body, brighter in spirit, and clearer in mind

Here's what our beautiful Bali retreat guest Diane has to share:

Your hosts:

Hello I'm Hannah Barnes...the beauty, brains and boldness behind A Nourishing Notion.

I’m a passionate holistic health coach, entrepreneur, former nurse (12 years), mother to 4 and lover to my good man Ted.

I'm warm, open, and rather obsessed with human vitality. I also love to laugh!

I've had (endured 😂) a lot of personal growth since my Saturn return (about 30yo) - healing my health issues; overcoming an anger problem; navigating parenting challenges; living with grief after the loss of my mother to cancer; divorce; solo parenting; experiencing a conscious relationship; and overcoming low self worth, anxious attachment and people pleasing (a lifetime of work, if I'm honest!).

My lived experience is what gives me the edge in the world of holistic wellness.

Sarah McDonald is a dedicated mum, wife, and heartfelt leader, driven by her passion for personal growth and transformation.

As an Enneagram coach, she guides individuals to deeper self-awareness and authentic living, bringing wisdom and empathy to every interaction.

Alongside her coaching, Sarah co-runs a successful travel brokerage, helping clients bring their dream journeys to life.

With a focus on wellness, balance, and connection, Sarah is committed to supporting others in creating meaningful experiences, both in travel and in personal development.

Sarah is like a sister to me. We work very well together and bring a sense of ease and peace to our retreats. Enjoying Bali together in September 2024 was a dream come true!

So here we are, going for it again, this time making it EVEN BETTER!

See you in Byron in May 💗
