Heal For Life Retreat Health Professionals
Hunter Valley, New South WalesHeal For Life offers specialist private retreats aimed at helping to open the door to healing of childhood trauma. The vast majority of people suffering from addictions, depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses share a common background of childhood trauma or abuse. Generally, health professionals do not mention this connection and so many people end up with a profound sense of failure, as if they “should” be more together.
Heal For Life’s highly successful program has been developed by combining the latest scientific research on the effects of trauma on the brain with intuitive knowledge gathered from many survivors of child abuse over time. Heal For Life provide a safe environment within their mental health retreat to help you get in touch with, and heal, your inner self – the part of you that is carrying the impact of the trauma you survived.

Their main focus is teaching you valuable tools that will help you to heal from traumatic events in childhood. Once you’ve learnt and practiced using the tools during your healing week you can take them home with you to continue helping and empowering yourself. You can choose a totally individual experience at the retreat or share with up to 3 other guests who have expressed interest in this option (all guests will still have a private room). Privacy is assured as all work is done independently and stories are not shared with the group. Heal For Life has empowered survivors with all kinds of adverse childhood experiences to begin to heal and can help you too.
