Where Nature Meets Nurture
Who We Are & How We Became
Welcome to Namah-Stay; a concept born from the heart, created with care and designed to help you find peace and rejuvenation.
"We are so glad you
found us!"
​​
After years of personal and professional experience in mental health, it became clear to me, that many people face challenges when it comes to prioritising their well-being. I realised how difficult it is for so many to find a place where they feel safe enough to fully relax and simply be.
Self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity, and it looks different for everyone. I do believe however, there are two elements that make all the difference: genuine connection and the healing power of nature. With this in mind, I set out to create a supportive space that embodies these essentials, offering a variety of wellness experiences for people to explore as they discover both new and familiar ways to rest and restore.
​
This is why Namah-Stay is more than just another retreat. It’s your retreat- accessible, flexible, and truly centred around your needs. From the moment we connect, I want to know what it is that makes your feel cared for and at ease. Maybe you’re craving a peaceful day filled with yoga and painting. Perhaps you long for a weekend of wholesome meals, uplifting bushwalks, and quiet moments of reflection. Or maybe it’s a mix of experiences uniquely tailored to you. No matter your path to inner peace, I offer guidance and support along the way...

A Name with Meaning
The name Namah-Stay was chosen with deep respect and intention. It is inspired by the Sanskrit mantra “Om Namah Shivay,” a sacred chant that invites us to dedicate time to our inner selves and connection to nature.
What Does “Om Namah Shivay” Mean?
-
Om: The sound of creation, the vibration from which the Universe was formed.
-
Namah: To bow or honor
-
Shivay: The inner self, or the consciousness that exists within all of us.
The syllables of this mantra represent the balance of nature’s five elements:
-
Na: Earth
-
Ma: Water
-
Si: Fire
-
Va: Air
-
Ya: Ether
Our retreat is uniquely located between the bush/earth (Na) and the ocean/water (Ma)—a living representation of these elements. The name reflects our purpose, to create a space to Stay for grounding, reflection, and deeper connection to self, nature and others.
