MindfulWell® Reset 1 – Day Retreat
A space to gently slow down, feel supported, and reconnect with yourself at your own pace.
We’re opening expressions of interest for our upcoming MindfulWell® Reset Day Retreat, grounded in our ShadowCognition Theory® a clinically-informed, integrative framework supporting emotional regulation and psychological wellbeing.
This experience is intentionally trauma-informed, meaning:
– You are always in choice and control of your participation
– Practices are guided with safety, pacing, and nervous system awareness
– There is no pressure to share, perform, or “push through”
– Your experience is met with respect, care, and clinical integrity
Throughout the day, you’ll be supported to:
– Gently regulate your nervous system
– Reconnect with your body in a safe and supported way
– Understand your emotional patterns with compassion
– Learn practical tools you can carry into everyday life
Facilitated by qualified professionals, with a strong foundation in mental health, counselling, and somatic practice.
We keep our groups intentionally small to ensure a contained, supportive environment.
💫 Accessible pricing options available
We offer a tiered pricing structure and flexible payment options (including deposit + payment plans) to make this work more accessible, while maintaining the quality of care and facilitation.
💫 Auckland-based
💫 Limited spaces (small group setting)
You’re warmly invited to express your interest. Link in bio.
Date TBC August.

🤝 Some of the most meaningful things in the world are built by community.

MindfulWell started because we saw how many women and young people were navigating anxiety, overwhelm, identity pressure and burnout alone. We wanted to create spaces where people could slow down, understand their mental health, and feel supported in a way that actually feels human.

Now we are growing, and we can’t do it alone.

We are looking for a few incredible humans to join our volunteer team and help us continue building safer, more supportive spaces for women and youth across Aotearoa.

Open roles include
• Community Lead
• Fundraising & Grants Manager
• Cultural Advisor

All roles are flexible and remote friendly, designed to work around your life.

If you’ve ever wanted to use your skills for something meaningful, contribute to a growing wellbeing movement, or simply be part of a team that cares deeply about people and community, this might be for you.

If one of these roles speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you.

Your story matters. 🤍

If counselling, coaching, or support through MindfulWell has made a difference in your life, your voice could gently remind another woman or young person that healing is possible.

We’re inviting lived experience stories from our community. This could be about maternal mental health, trauma recovery, anxiety, burnout, finding your voice, or simply learning how to cope in healthier ways.

You can share anonymously or with your name. Whatever feels safe for you.

Your story could be the reason someone reaches out for help.

If you’d like to contribute, send us a message or email mindfulwell.info@gmail.com

Together, we reduce shame. Together, we create hope.

Women’s mental health in Aotearoa: what the research shows

This post draws directly from New Zealand population data and peer-reviewed research.

The evidence is clear:
• Women experience higher levels of psychological distress than men
• Unmet need for mental health support is rising
• Maternal mental health remains a significant concern
• Exposure to interpersonal and domestic violence is strongly linked to long-term mental and physical health outcomes
• Māori women are disproportionately affected, reflecting wider inequities in access, safety, and care

These patterns are not about individual weakness or failure.

They reflect:
– cumulative stress and trauma
– systemic barriers to care
– social and economic pressures
– under-resourced mental health pathways

At MindfulWell, our role is to:
• share evidence-based mental health education
• reduce stigma through informed conversation
• help women connect with counsellors and health coaches who understand trauma, nervous system health, and women’s lived experiences

Education is a starting point.
Access to the right support changes outcomes.

If these findings resonate, you are not alone, and you are not broken.
Understanding is powerful, and support matters.

Sources include Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand (women’s mental health statistics) and peer-reviewed research.
