A ONE-DAY retreat designed to support women experiencing stress and burnout will be held at Sugar Beach Ranch in Ballina on Sunday, May 18.<\/p>\n

Led by Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) practitioner Kellie Shields, the Thrive in 2025 retreat combines tapping, meditation, mindfulness and time in nature to help participants reset and recharge.<\/p>\n

EFT, sometimes called ’emotional acupuncture’, involves tapping on acupressure points while focusing on emotional challenges.<\/p>\n

Practitioners say it can reduce stress, anxiety and overwhelm by calming the nervous system.<\/p>\n

Shields, the founder of Tap and Thrive, describes her approach as rooted in connection, compassion and resilience.<\/p>\n

“Caring for loved ones has been at the heart of my journey,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Whether supporting my family or working with others, I’ve always believed in the power of connection, compassion, and resilience to navigate even the toughest times.<\/p>\n

“I’ve dedicated my career to helping people reduce stress, heal emotionally, and find balance in their lives.”<\/p>\n

The day program includes an EFT workshop, meditation sessions, a personalised tapping script, wellbeing journal and plan, along with meals and guided activities in the beachside setting.<\/p>\n
