A Special Note from Your Hosts:
The essential focus for our ‘Breath of Life’ Retreat is to encourage you to bring yourself back into balance. We believe that routine plays an important role here. For example, we incorporate daily yoga, meditation and wellness mentoring as part of our retreat schedule, with the hope that you will carry on with this routine when you return home.
We will encourage you to take time out to refresh and invigorate, to experience the peace of the Balinese Culture, to experience the power of giving back to those less fortunate than ourselves. We want you to come away feeling a new sense of self and to gain knowledge and skills to choose healthy habits for life.
It’s not so much where you are at with your yoga or eating habits, nor is it about fancy poses or expensive super foods; it’s about living and feeling the benefits of daily movement, true nourishment and understanding the importance of creating a healthy body and a lifestyle that allows you time to release the hidden you, rather than creating a new you.
You have the power to choose to be happy, be healthy, be courageous, be adventurous, be kind, be open and most importantly we want to encourage you to BE… YOU!
We can’t wait to see your true nature shine through!
With love and gratitude,
Nadine and Chels

RETREAT LEADERS
Health & Physical Education and Science Secondary Teacher, Functional Nutritionist, Founder & Owner of ‘Three Thousand Lemons’
Chelsea lives on the North-West Coast of Tasmania, Australia. She is married to Wayne and together with their 2 incredible teenagers, they enjoy snow skiing in winter and surfing and SUP-ing in summer! Chelsea is a highly motivated and passionate high-school teacher and is the owner & founder of Three Thousand Lemons. Despite always trying to live a healthy lifestyle, she has endured a variety of health complications of her own over a 15 year period, including gluten intolerance, heavy metal poisoning and workplace burnout, broadening her understanding of mental health.
These experiences have motivated Chelsea to question the current health system and in some respects, take matters into her own hands by researching and questioning the reasons why she became sick, how she could support herself naturally and fully recover to live life abundantly.
Chelsea discovered the importance of good, quality wholefoods and nutrition, good gut health, a reduced toxic load and essential oils – all vital aspects to gaining full health. This personal experience resulted in Chelsea wanting to help others to also gain health, so she continued her education to become a Functional Nutritionist, sparking a new career path from teaching Health in Secondary Schools to living and teaching about the benefits of a wellness lifestyle for all.
She recently started her own business, parallel to teaching, called ‘Three Thousand Lemons’ offering anyone who is keen to learn about wellness the opportunity to access a variety of online courses, retreats and workshops. She also travels delivering public and workplace presentations (varying topics including ‘Introduction to Essential Oils’, ‘Essential Fitness’, ‘Stress in the Workplace’, ‘Reducing Your Toxic Load at Home and at Work’ and ‘The Importance of Nutrition & Understanding Vitalism’).
Chelsea is passionate about inspiring others to take control of their health and showing those who are willing how easy it can be to gain health by adopting this wellness lifestyle. She teaches about simple habits while keeping in the forefront of her mind that each person has individual needs and therefore give tips on how to identify what is right for them.
Aspects of her teachings and developing a wellness lifestyle include;
eating wholefoods to fuel and nourish your body
the importance of regular gentle movement, as opposed to hard-core exercise to maintain general fitness and well-being
reducing your toxic load at home
the importance of rest and how to manage stress in today’s world
how to be informed about your healthcare choices and taking proactive steps to maintain optimum health
Chelsea loves and uses essential oils and considers the use of Certified Pure, Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils absolutely vital as tools to support each aspect of a wellness lifestyle.
Chelsea teaches in a fun, interactive way, inspiring you to live well while encouraging subtle changes to your lifestyle. You won’t believe how easy it is to achieve and sustain vibrant health and wellness and finally gain that overall sense of balance. Living a wellness lifestyle is exciting!

Her paths crossed with some beautiful, amazing people, who inspired her to make a choice to be ‘her true self’ and follow her dreams.
Her yoga teacher training opened up many doors for her. She trained in Bali with ITSA LIFE, specializing in Abode Yoga, which as a practice and form is not limited to one style of yoga. The style of yoga that Nadine teaches varies and caters for the individual needs of her students. Nadine’s yoga classes range from Hatha to Vinyasa Flow and Ashtanga to Yin Yoga.

She has written and implemented a regular Yoga and Meditation program into the high school where her students are able to learn and benefit from this innovative subject. Nadine also travels to other schools in her local area to share in her expertise. She teaches yoga at her local gym and she also runs her own Yoga, Meditation and Essential Oils business called, ‘One Conscious Choice.’
As a retreat leader, she would love to reach out and share this way of living with you, inspiring you to lead a balanced, healthy and happy life.

All it takes is ‘One Conscious Choice.’

The Joy Professionals
Quick to smile and easy to laugh, the Balinese are experts at living a life of joy and fulfillment. They live in the moment, neither regretting past events nor vexing on what has yet to happen.
Perhaps nowhere else on Earth lives a better example of truly living in a joyful state than in Bali. Life here is interwoven with spirituality, delight in daily rituals and appreciation for all surrounding them.
We live, work, play and grow in harmony with our local community, the people of Sukawati village. Their support and encouragement for Floating Leaf was a driving force in our development and we involve the community in deciding exactly which philanthropic efforts will be of most help and interest to them.

Our policy is to be open and upfront and explain that the “++” at Floating Leaf is the minimum additional 21%. Your non-refundable non-transferable deposit secures your spot on this Bali retreat.

I just returned from my amazing trip to Bali. I stayed at the floating leaf for 8 nights and it was truly an exceptional experience. The staff were so loving and attentive. The food was wonderful! I enjoyed my daily practice in such a picturesque place!
I brought a group of women here and from the moment we all walked in we were pampered! Some of the women were coming to Bali for the first time and Floating Leaf made their experience delightful and memorable, and I am excited to bring another group back!
