One day can change everything.
Sometimes the shift that we need we are not even aware of...
Through breathwork, reflection, gentle practices, and meaningful conversation, you’ll begin to understand your inner world in a deeper way and learn simple tools to support your emotions, calm your nervous system, and create more balance in your everyday life. This is not about becoming someone new. It is about coming back to who you already are.
As a women’s coach and lifelong educator - Nadia Shmeissem, I will be sharing real life experiences and practical tools that supported me through demanding times of life while juggling multiple roles, including my work at my educational centre since 2017, motherhood, and personal challenges. These practices helped me stay grounded, emotionally strong, and at peace and now I am here to share them with you and support you. Women supporting women that ripple effect is what I hope to promote.
Helping women and mothers move from burnout to purpose by reconnecting with their inner self and finding that complete balance
Be aware...

The Inner Balance Journey
Letting Go, Healing & Inner Growth
Queenstown
We will explore the power of BREATH - learning how your body speaks to you through early signals, sensations, and emotional cues, and how your breath can help bring you back into balance when life feels overwhelming.
Your BREATH is always with you, it is THE BRIDGE BETWEEN YOUR BODY AND YOUR MIND. And when you learn to SLOW IT DOWN, you begin to SOFTEN YOUR THOUGHTS, CALM YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM, and feel more in control during those moments of stress or anxiety or simply begin to understand the importance of letting go for the sake of your health.
During the Retreat, we will dive a bit deeper into this, through empowering conversations and gain the ability to better address our thoughts - learn to deal with those panic moments, tap into our body, focus on slowing our BREATH and begin to send those positive signals to the brain. We will link breath work with gratitude and art therapy to better support our mind - heart and soul.
Women supporting women
That ripple effect is what I hope to see in society-creating healthier, more connected minds, hearts, and souls.
Hi I'm
Nadia and I look forward to working with you....
Presenter - Nadia Shmeissem,
For over 25 years in education, and now through my work as a Women’s Coach, Mentor, and Educator, I have been supporting women and mothers through their personal and professional growth journeys.
This work is deeply rooted in spiritual growth, self awareness, inner balance, and empowering women to reconnect with themselves so they can feel more grounded, emotionally strong, and in control of their lives again. It is also the way I choose to live my own life, closely connected to personal growth, inner awareness, emotional strength, and living with deeper intention and meaning.
I chose Queenstown for this retreat because it has supported me through some of my own personal and professional challenges, becoming a place of healing, clarity, strength, and growth.
I often refer to it as “a place that heals the mind, heart, and soul.”
This retreat and immersive workshop has been thoughtfully created to uplift and support you through meaningful guidance, helping you reconnect with a sense of calm, clarity, and inner balance while nurturing the mind, heart, and soul.
Come as you are, and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded within yourself and your journey. Understanding how the body and mind work together is a powerful step towards supporting your wellbeing on a deeper level.

You feel emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or mentally exhausted from carrying so much for so long.

You feel disconnected from who you are… or like you’ve lost parts of yourself along the way.
-
You are moving through grief, loss, burnout, or emotional heaviness and need space to breathe again.
-
You are ready to pause, reflect, and finally prioritise your wellbeing without guilt.
The Inner Balance Journey Retreat is a small, intimate experience for up to 20 women, created to help you slow down, release emotional weight, and gently return to yourself.
Set in a peaceful natural environment by the river in Queenstown, this retreat offers you space to step away from the demands of daily life and enter a calm, supportive environment designed for healing, reflection, and emotional reset.
Throughout the retreat, you will be guided through:
✨ Breath work to calm the mind and support emotional regulation

You don’t have to hold it all together here. No pressure - No expectations - Just space to be yourself And slowly, as you settle in… you start to feel a little more grounded again. Because wellbeing isn’t about appearing okay, it’s about feeling okay within yourself.

On the 10/2/26 the Empowering Women's workshop took place, over 35 women engaged and the feedback was we want more of this. Due to this feedback - I am working on a longer one at the moment.
The venue created a sense of calmness. Take yourself to beautiful places.
Women engaged in a variety of activities supporting their wellbeing. This allowed me to further understand their needs and plan more for future workshops. We then engaged in a small morning tea. This workshop ran for just under 1hr. The next one coming up will most likely be in the Women's international week, in March. If you're interested, please express your interest - you can email me directly info@risethroughcoaching.com
