Whole Hearted Medicine

MindFULness and wellbeing education for doctors.
Caring for you, so you can continue to care for others.

A place to prioritise yourself

Medicine is a demanding profession.

With the constant busyness and pace of taking care of the health and wellbeing of others, often there isn’t much time left to take care of ourselves. Putting our oxygen mask on first feels impossible under the weight of the task of caring for others.

But it is so important.

Whole Hearted Medicine retreats are a cocoon of space and time where you will be supported with expert education using mindfulness based cognitive tools and group coaching to re-connect with your colleagues and yourself as we take an immersive journey of self discovery together. To re-discover what you love about medicine while at the same time carving a path forward that helps you to find balance between your identity as a doctor and your authentic self.

​A haven of calm where you will be deeply cared for while also receiving expertly curated and CPD approved education on mindfulness, personal wellbeing & self compassion.

Every detail carefully considered and taken care of so as to nurture your body, mind and soul.

All you need to do is get here, we’ll take care of the rest.

"In order to heal others, we first need to heal ourselves. And to heal ourselves, we need to know how to deal with ourselves.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Thoughts from past retreat attendees

“I feel committed to live more mindfully after the retreat and can really see the benefits that mindful meditation have on my sense of well-being.”

General Practitioner

“I’m more comfortable at meditation after the retreat, and more than I would have given myself credit for before. It is finally starting to feel familiar.”

Respiratory & Sleep Physician

“One of the most powerful things for me was recognising that being empathic to patients and staffs has an impact on me, which requires time to recover and renew. I am also more aware of how I”m feeling and why.”

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

“I found the retreat absolutely fantastic. Finally, a conference that focuses on self care, realised burn out, specifically in the medical field. I felt heard, I felt sharing my experiences helped, and I felt I was given real tools and techniques to help in the future. Thank you for the safe space to reflect, and grow.”

Respiratory Physician

“I somehow forgot that I used to have perspective to be able to rise above the thunderclouds and observe calmly and fully present. I have been committed to practising this with compassion since the retreat. It occurred to me (almost 20 years since first learning it) that “primum non nocere” actually means ME!”

GP Obstetrician

“The retreat strengthened my approach in specifically discussing/demonstrating the ‘soft’ skills with the staff I supervise and the positive impacts this can have for the next generation. Vulnerability doesn’t have to be weak- it can be brave and I can lean into it.”

Paediatrician

“I am lost for words. All I can really say is that the retreat has been life changing.”

Anaesthetist

“It feels like I have clarity and focus again and I honestly don’t believe that would be possible had I not spent the time with you that I did.”
