The Rise & Renew Method™
A proven path to restore your energy, reconnect with your values, and rise into the woman you’re meant to be.
The Rise & Renew Method™ is the foundation of this transformational retreat experience—created exclusively by Lisa Edmondson, holistic health and hormone coach, to support high-functioning women through burnout, hormonal imbalance, and life transitions.
This powerful approach combines mindfulness, movement, nutrition, self-inquiry, and nervous system care to help you move from depletion to deep restoration.
Over the weekend, you’ll journey through the five pillars of the Rise & Renew Method™:
Rise – Awaken your energy and self-awareness
Release – Let go of stress, expectations, and emotional weight
Renew – Restore your body and mind with rest and nourishment
Rest – Reclaim calm through breath, movement, and mindful practices
Reconnect – Realign with your values, purpose, and feminine power
This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a return to yourself. A space to breathe, heal, and begin again with clarity, calm, and confidence.
"Looking after yourself isn’t a luxury—it’s a declaration that you are worthy. Worthy of rest. Worthy of peace. Worthy of a life that feels like yours."

Frequently Asked Questions
How many women will be attending the retreat?
Rise & Renew is intentionally limited to 12 women to create an intimate, supportive space. This ensures each guest receives personal attention, feels seen and heard, and has the opportunity to form meaningful connections without feeling overwhelmed or lost in a crowd.
Is a deposit required to secure my spot?
Yes. A non-refundable $200 deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your place. The remaining balance is due by 11 July 2025. Payment plans are available—just reach out if you’d prefer to pay in instalments.
Where is the retreat held and how do I get there?
The retreat is held at the beautiful Waitākere Resort & Spa, located just 30 minutes from central Auckland. It’s easily accessible by car, and we’ll share detailed directions closer to the date. Carpool options may be available for those without transport—let us know if you’re interested.
Will I share a room with someone?
No. Each guest has their own private room—your own peaceful space to rest and recharge. If you book with a friend and wish to share, we can arrange a twin room upon request.
Do I have to participate in every activity?
Not at all. This retreat is about listening to your body and giving yourself what you need. All sessions are optional. If you feel called to rest, journal, or take a walk in nature instead of attending a session, you are fully supported in doing so.
What level of physical activity is involved?
All movement sessions—like yoga or nature walks—are gentle and beginner-friendly. No prior experience is needed. This retreat is designed for nervous system nourishment, not intense physical fitness.
Can you cater to dietary requirements?
Absolutely. All meals are nourishing, wholesome, and cater to dietary needs including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and more. Please note your requirements at the time of booking.
What facilities does the resort have?
Waitākere Resort & Spa features:
Beautiful private rooms with ensuite bathrooms
Forest views and tranquil walking paths
Onsite restaurant and dining spaces
Swimming pool (seasonal)
Access to day spa services
Indoor retreat room for workshops and practices
I don’t know anyone else going. Will I feel out of place?
Not at all. Most women come on their own—and leave feeling part of a supportive sisterhood. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a kind, non-judgemental space. We’ve designed the experience to nurture connection while honouring your need for personal space.
It’s a lot of money—how do I know it’s worth it?
We hear you. And we’ve poured everything into making sure this retreat is deeply transformative and truly restorative.
This isn’t just a weekend away—it’s an investment in your well-being, your healing, and your future. You’ll walk away rested, reconnected, and ready to rise into the next chapter of your life. And that kind of transformation?
It’s priceless.
