I am immensely grateful for the connections I have formed during this retreat. It has been a profound experience to relate to others and feel a sense of empathy and understanding. I leave this retreat feeling renewed and ready to face life's challenges with a newfound sense of peace.
This retreat has taught me the importance of self-care and taking moments to stop, breathe, and focus on myself. By nurturing my own well-being, I am better able to fulfill my role as a carer and a mother to my daughter.

I feel amazing and a profound sense of calm. The beats, the collective energy, and the sense of harmony have left a lasting impression on me. It was truly an uplifting and transformative experience.
Thank you for creating such a memorable and rhythmic session.
The drumming session was absolutely fantastic! It had a way of bringing everyone together, creating a sense of inclusivity and unity. It didn't matter if we had prior experience or not; we all enjoyed ourselves and tapped into the rhythm of the moment.

One valuable lesson I learned during the retreat is the importance of having harmony between my soul, mind, and body. I rediscovered my love for yoga, an activity I had neglected for a long time. Overcoming my initial anxiety, I realized that I can embrace these activities again, and they have brought me a renewed sense of balance. It has given me a fresh perspective on life.
Sonya
One of the things I enjoyed the most during the retreat was meeting everyone and realizing that I am not alone in my experiences. It was a relief to connect with others who understand the challenges of being a carer. I also appreciated learning new techniques and having moments of laughter and joy. The group activities, such as yoga and outdoor adventures, were particularly enjoyable.

Before I came here, I wasn't in a good place, wasn't at all. I just was broken, and even after the first hour, I just broke down and all my emotions, all my feelings just came out. And after that, being with these people and this group of organizers, I'm just like so, so, so blessed to be here. I am in a much, much better place now, and I can't even believe it. So, big relief, big step out, and I'm so blessed.
Hayley
I hadn't realized how stressed I was and how heavy everything in my life felt at the time. And now, after two nights and three days of things being about me, and doing some lovely things, and eating some amazing food, and having some activities, I just feel my cup is refilled. And everyone says, "You can't pour from an empty cup," and it seems like just rhetoric, but it's real. I'm ready to go back into my life now, and it'll change, change things, change my life. Thank you.

We had a fantastic experience on our Carer Escape. We enjoyed the flexibility to choose activities which were of interest.
We will definitely be back.
Colleen
The Carer Escapes Retreat felt like I was taking time to
re-energise myself as a mum and to learn ways to help myself, like breathing!
It was wonderful to meet other carers and to hear their stories and learn from them.
The absolute delight of not having to cook and to be pampered with so many treats including a massage was amazing.
Lorelle
This retreat was AMAZING. We will be back!!! I LOVED all the fun activities and it was great to feel like a child again. The best thing was mixing with all the other carers as we all understand the complexities. I will use the breathing and tapping techniques to help deal with stress in my every day life.
Monique
It was amazing. I really appreciate all the effort that was put in just for me (us)
Roz
When I got here I walked in late I had lost my phone. I was exhausted, tired, could barely move. Just literally burnt out.
And how are you feeling now?
I feel amazing. I feel so fresh. I feel like I can move I can breathe and I have so much to look forward to going home.
Kim
I haven't been on a Carer Retreat for a few years. I needed this to have time for me. Reground and put some strategies into place when I return home this will assist me put self care in place.

“This experience has been so life changing in so many ways. Being around other people who can relate to each other in a way I have never experienced before.
The tools of self care that were provided are so beneficial to both myself & my daughter. The freedom to be exactly me.”
Lynette
Taking time for yourself is the best to be able to give the ones we care for and love the best of us, without it draining us.
Take time to recharge and learn new ways to help recharge at home too. Met others who care and understand and never judge you.
Madeleine
Claudia & Tracey were fabulous and caring facilitators and have selected an amazing beautiful venue to allow carers to learn + relax + grow.
Thank you so much for this opportunity.
Michelle
The retreat allowed me to space & pause & recharge. It was an empowering opportunity to connect with other carers.
I am leaving the retreat with some perspectives and strategies that will be easy to replicate at home. Thank you.
Di
My first carer's retreat so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Claudia made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in the door!
A fabulous short getaway to connect with like minded people, re-charge and share experiences.
I will definitely be attending again as I left feeling like I wasn't on this journey alone and learnt some great strategies to help with coping in my role as a Carer for my daughter.
Josephine
This is the best retreat I have ever been on! The massage was the best I've ever had!
Mayada
Carer Escapes organised the most amazing, fun and relaxing Retreat. I'm so glad I attended as I was able to focus on myself entirely the whole time. The activities, food and people were all fantastic.
I highly recommend using Carer Escapes any type Relaxation Retreat to improve the health and well being of carers because they truly understand.

If you are in severe carer burnout like I have been for over a year, one little weekend away is not going to solve the problem. But, what it can do is set you on the right path towards self care & healing.

“I would recommend coming to a Carer Escapes Retrat. It’s very helpful for people to say what you feel. In the end, you will feel alive and happy! I was nervous to come, but I’m glad i did now. I met some wonderful and crazy people!”
Rick
“I was hesitant before the event, but that disappeared from the day one. Meeting people with similar circumstances was great as they all understood that life can be cruel, but with some help and guidance, we can survive the hard times and embrace the better times. “
Sonya
"I find it hard and feel selfish for taking time out for myself. But coming to the retreat and feeling all the support and care from Claudia and Tracey is amazing.
Learning all the tips and to have fun making friends and connecting to other carers is fantastic.
You feel less alone and isolated. Thank you so much!”
