YOUR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT:
Participate in a daily program of life education seminars and empowering workshops.
These research and evidence-based educational experiences help support you as you build a solid foundation for personal growth, work life balance, empowerment and for learning new habits and techniques designed to improve your physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
PREPARING FOR CHANGE
Guests often find there is a gap between wanting to be physically, mentally and spiritually well, and their usual day-to-day situation.
This seminar will give you an eye-opening insight into your current work life balance ( or lack thereof), and help you explore new ways of being: how to implement change, recognise hurdles to overcome, as well as increase wellness behaviours to become your best possible self.
BUILDING RESILIENCE
In our busy lives we have all felt the effects of stress at different points along our journey.
This session will provide you with tools to identify, manage and ultimately bounce back from stressful situations and to live out the truism: “Life is as easy or as hard as you think it is.”
MOVEMENT THAT MATTERS
This session provides a theoretical background for physical activity.
This includes methods on how to evaluate your fitness level, as well as learning how to identify the most time efficient options to maximise your health and wellness activity, and approach these teachings from a physical movement perspective. This session is designed for those who are considering new forms of activity to support weight loss, recovering from illness or injury, enhancing performance or ageing well.
MEN’S HEALTH
About men, for men, with men.
This seminar openly presents information on key topics surrounding men’s health and wellbeing. With open forum discussion about health-related issues confronting you and contemplating what lies ahead. You will leave this seminar more informed and aware of your body, as well as better equipped with practical strategies to take control of your health.
WOMEN’S HEALTH
A woman focused and led workshop suitable for all ages.
The women’s wellbeing seminar is an inspiring exploration into the simple changes you can make which will contribute to increased daily health. Learn to understand the importance of your hormonal balance and self-worth.
LET’S TALK ABOUT SLEEP
This seminar covers what is known as sleep hygiene.
Our sleep facilitator offers information regarding the causes of tiredness or fatigue, how to quantify good sleep, and tips to optimise your sleeping habits. If you have concerns about the sleeping habits of yourself or a loved one, this session is for you.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INBODY BODY COMPOSITION RESULTS
Firstly, book in for your InBody Body Composition Analyser session.
Included with the scan is an exclusive small group workshop so you can obtain a complete understanding of the results and possible avenues to take to address each area.
Whether you’re looking to set new goals for weight and fitness, or just looking for a benchmark to guide you to the correct nutrition and/or physical course of action as you work towards an optimal body composition, this seminar is for you.
NUTRITION:
At Elysia, our food philosophy is that eating should be one of life’s greatest pleasures.
We believe that considering the nutritional value of what we eat, exploring new tastes and textures, and preparing hearty food in a healthy manner is essential to lifelong wellbeing.
Our program of nourishing meals shared in the company of fellow retreat participants without the everyday distractions of home or work, television or digital devices will help you get back to basics. You’ll eat nutritious wholefoods, in sensible portions, at well-spaced mealtimes.
We encourage mindful eating to help us appreciate what we have, to slow down, and to be more in the moment. Nutrition, exercise, and relaxation are the cornerstones of the Elysia philosophy, and these combined, deliver a holistic approach to health and nutrition.
Your stay at Elysia gives your body a rest from red meat, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and saturated fat. We find that our guests at our health retreat in Hunter Valley are less likely to return to the same excessive levels of these indulgences once they have had a break from them. This pause in consumption allows you to consider your diet and reintroduce ‘treat’ foods sensibly and in moderation.
YOUR TRANSFORMATION:
Everyone at Elysia believes that balancing one’s mind, body, and spirit will achieve lifelong wellness, and your transformative journey to achieving all of this can begin here.
From the moment you arrive, our team is here to guide, educate, and encourage you with each of our treatments and activities, always keeping your health and wellbeing in mind.
“The day I arrived I was so nervous, and felt like I’d be the only “not normal” person there and how would I fit in. Fast forward to a week of nourishing my body, mind, and soul, and I left feeling like I could conquer the world.”
Our food philosophy is that eating should be one of life’s greatest pleasures, which is enhanced by providing new healthy food and tastes experiences during your stay. Along with your delicious and nutritious meals, you’ll be guided and encouraged to move your body to increase your mobility and strength while allowing your mind to refocus on being in the moment and feeling better. Choose from a variety of activities and classes, from Tai Chi to Boot Camp, all taught by our team of experts.
“It is almost a week since I left, and I have not stopped thinking about the learning I now have. The quality of the program is exceptional as is the calibre of the staff. I leave there as a changed person, noting that incremental changes in habit can make an incredible difference to my outlook, stress, and wellbeing.”
At Elysia, one of the best Hunter Valley Spa Resorts, we believe in treating your body to relaxing and restorative treatments as another important way of affirming your self-love and care. Whether you want a Ka Huna massage, a restorative facial or to simply relax in our complimentary steam room and spa bath, you can decide which treatment is best for you.
