Friday 6th March 2026

Time: 9am to 4pm

Location: Christchurch
Limited to 12 spots only


This isn't a getaway - it's a business reset.

Why Pause?

You've been going full speed - clients, deadlines, decisions, DM's.

On paper, your business looks successful.

But your bank balance...tells a way different story.

  • You're earning........but not really keeping.

  • You're working harder than every, yet cashflow still feels unpredictable.

  • You’re craving clarity but too stuck in the doing to see the bigger picture.

You’ve been in go-mode for so long you can’t remember what pause even feels like.
Your business is thriving on the outside — but your bank balance, energy, and clarity?

Ummm.... Not so much.

This isn’t about adding more to your to-do list.

(hint if you are nodding along then sign up already!)


This is about hitting pause long enough to see what’s actually working ,
and what’s quietly draining your profit, your sanity and financial freedom.

The Pause to Prosper Retreat is where calm meets clarity,
and where you finally get to run your business like the CEO you actually are.

Aka, your terms, your way.

What You’ll Experience

In one transformative day, you’ll move from overwhelmed and reactive to clear, confident and in control

Here's how it will happen:

Decode Your Money Personality

(I mean this is so good we slapped a trademark on it)

Money Clarity Workshop

Because I sure as heck know you didn't set out to work for minimum wage....

Business Vision Reset

Go on, I dare you, just one more (maybe 2!) more scrolls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pause to Prosper Retreat

Who is this retreat for?

Service-based founders, coaches, creatives, and business owners who are ready to step away from the hustle for one day and leave with clarity, confidence, and a pay-yourself plan that feels good.

Do I need to have consistent income to get value from this?

Nope. In fact, this retreat is especially designed for entrepreneurs with lumpy or unpredictable income — you’ll learn how to create clarity and pay yourself even when cashflow isn’t consistent.

What’s included in the ticket price?

Your ticket includes the full-day retreat, all workshops + hotseats, luxe catering (morning tea, lunch, and afternoon treats), your personalised Savvy Money Playbook and  The Savvy Money Map.

Is accommodation included?

This is a one-day retreat, so accommodation isn’t included. If you’d like to turn it into a weekend away, checkout Airbnb or Booking.com for accommodation options.

Can I pay in installments?

Absolutely. You can pay in full ($1,297 NZD), or choose the Prosperity Payment Plan (4 x $350). VIP upgrades also have a payment plan available.

How is this different from a seminar or workshop?

This isn’t about cramming information into your brain or scribbling notes you’ll never look at again. It’s about creating space, clarity, and a personalised 90-day plan you can actually implement — with luxe touches and holistic reset woven through the day.

 What if something comes up and I can’t attend?

Tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferable. You can gift or on-sell your spot to another aligned business owner (just let us know so we can update the details).

 I want to come, but I’m nervous about spending money right now…

I get it — investing in yourself can feel scary, especially when cashflow feels tight. But here’s the truth: if money stress is what’s holding you back, this retreat is exactly where you need to be.

You’ll walk away with clarity on your numbers, a 90-day plan to pay yourself with confidence, and the tools to stop the feast-or-famine cycle.

Think of it this way: this isn’t another expense — it’s the most profitable decision you’ll make this year.

You’ve don't need another course

You don't need another late night "get on top of it" session.

You need space, and of course a plan that actually works.

That's what this day gives you.

One Pause. Big Ideas. Real Change.

Your business will thank you for this!
