Your Host!!!

Susi Whitehead

I have been carefully curating a lifestyle that prioritises my health and wellbeing, while gathering knowledge and skills to share with women who are approaching, or are in, their "Second Spring".

After experiencing the frustration of a lengthy perimenopause journey, I have been passionate about ensuring that other women did not have the same experience. It took me a while to work out what this looked like. 

My partner and I have been operating a guesthouse on Kangaroo Island for almost nine years and it dawned on me that I should use the guesthouse as the base for sharing knowledge.

    AromaZen

    Bea Chuan

    "My journey into healing first started when I was diagnosed with depression anxiety and I was supported to heal myself with natural modalities and therapies.

    I started by eliminating toxins from my daily care, making my own body care products and watching what I consumed. I started meditation and learned how to become the observer of my thoughts. I took up yoga and later got really brave and went to a silent retreat.

    When my mum started to be unwell this is when my journey into alternative healing therapies really started. I started exploring different modalities starting with sound therapy, essential oils and energy healing."

    TO NOTE: Bea's AromaZen experience is included in the 3- and 5- day packages (subject to availability).

    Sharmanic Energy Practitioner & Yoga

    Phillipa Holden

    "I am trained and certified in the Andean Q’ero tradition by the Four Winds Academy as a Master Practitioner of Energy Medicine. I am deeply grateful to my teachers and to the lineage of Indigenous healers who are now sharing their knowledge in this time that the prophecies spoke of.

    While I worked as an ecologist for over thirty years, seeking ways to care for and heal the earth, I have always had a calling to follow the shamanic path."

      Nature based healing ...

      The greatest healing of all can come from spending time with nature, reconnecting to the earth and its elements. Kangaroo Island offers a multitude of opportunities to do this. There are options for getting in touch with nature on land and on the sea that surrounds this magical place.

      If  She Emerges guests on the 5-day package are keen to spend a day exploring Kangaroo Island, we can arrange the program to allow for a touring day (depending on what you choose, there may be an additional charge).

      You have the option of booking an advertised tour (find them on the Tour Kangaroo Island website) or we could help you to arrange a personalised private tour. There is also the possibility of hiring a car for a self drive option. For this to work in with the program, it is preferable that all retreat guests would opt for the tour.

      Another option is take advantage of the special offer made to retreat guests to add an extra night to your stay at the Dragonfly for an additional $75/night for 3-day package deal and $50/night for 5-day package deal, and use your additional day to tour.

      Tour costs are set by the operator and the experiences are subject to availability.
