Women's Wellness

Connections for living well

Women’s Wellness’ dream is to create transformational wellness services and experiences for women. Through The Monastery, a retreat for women, and Iris, a Hamilton-based mobile support service, Women’s Wellness nurtures women who are experiencing stress, burnout, depression and the effects of trauma.

The Monastery

Developed as a private retreat to support women with few opportunities to focus on their personal wellness, The Monastery is simply charming.

This beautiful home caters for five women at any one time, and offers an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in a private and comfortable setting as part of its live-in, five-day retreat.

When combined with the diverse therapeutic modalities offered by its professional staff, The Monastery offers a holistic and healing retreat for women experiencing stress, depression or trauma.

In June 2011, after the devastating Christchurch earthquakes, The Monastery opened its door and heart to the people of Christchurch and is currently offering free five-night wellness retreats to people directly affected by the earthquakes.

Iris

Iris is a Hamilton-based mobile service for women experiencing stress, trauma or depression.

Feelings don’t work to a schedule, and Iris doesn’t think women in need should have to either. The greatest gift Iris can give women is time – their time, when women need it.

Iris is totally women focused, and the team is compassionate, fluid and adaptive in its approach.
