Are you tired of running on empty, pushing through, and feeling like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough?
Soul Awakening women’s retreat in Central Otago is your invitation to pause. To step away from survival mode, and immerse yourself in the grounding beauty of nature, yoga, meditation, and sisterhood.

Women’s circles and group coaching

Our Retreat Venue:
Imrama,
Central Otago
Just 30 minutes from Wānaka and 1 hour from Queenstown, Imrama is your peaceful, grounding retreat home - a place where your soul’s journey can gently unfold. The name comes from a Celtic term meaning “The Journey of the Soul,” and also carries the essence of Ra (light, sun) and Ma (heart, within), honouring the light within.
Set across 21 hectares of rolling hills, a serene creek, and lush gardens, Imrama is a sanctuary held by nature itself. Surrounded by mountains and open skies, it offers the perfect environment to soften, reconnect, and return to yourself.
Warm, earthy, and deeply nurturing, Imrama Retreat provides space to rest, journal, move, share nourishing meals, and gather in circle under the stars - a true homecoming for the woman ready to remember who she is.

Danielle is a soul purpose & burnout coach, yoga teacher, meditation guide, and breathwork facilitator dedicated to helping women return to themselves. Her work blends ancient wisdom with modern nervous system support, guiding women out of burnout and back into balance, intuition, and inner strength.
With years of experience holding space through retreats, circles, Human Design readings, and coaching, Danielle’s approach is gentle yet powerful, rooted in the belief that every woman already holds the answers within her. Sometimes, she just needs the right environment to hear them again.

She believes in creating retreats that aren’t just beautiful experiences, but true turning points, the kind that ripple into the rest of your life. She always looks forward to welcoming women to remember themselves through retreat & coaching.
This is more than a yoga retreat.
