RETREAT DETAILS
This retreat has so much to offer every participant from affordable packages to cultural immersion and fantastic skills for life.
The Gentle Heart retreats are designed with a purpose and that is for each participant to walk away feeling an incredible sense of achievement, vitality, insight and clarity. We honour each student who comes with an open mind and leaves with an full heart.
The itinerary is packed full of experiences on and off the massage table. We have worked closely with Floating Leaf to ensure all retreat participants receive the very best in local cultural and retreat experiences like eating chef prepared fresh organic produce from their garden, adding in extra special moments to make your Bali experience one of a kind, enjoying gentle daily yoga, exercise and meditation as well as learning something completely new and wonderful & guided charity walks…just to name a few. We ensure each participant is taken care of from the moment you are picked up at the airport.
Here at The Gentle Heart we facilitate in a way that every student receives individual attention to really make sure they walk away feeling competent and confident to carry this sacred tradition out into the world. You will love “”Heartworks””. It’s feminine, nurturing and extremely effective in its simplicity. It’s a massage style passed down from Ka Huna Sherman Dudoit who believed the world needed healing and this massage is a tool for doing just that. Long flowing strokes gently lull the giver & receiver into a deep state of relaxation and surrender allowing the body to open to its own natural state of healing.
You don’t need prior massage experience or even want to do this as a business. This course is for everyone who wants to recharge and reconnect in a loving gentle way, however, everyone can receive Heartworks making it extremely accessible for your client base or perhaps it will be the point of difference in your business. It is also therapist friendly and a wonderful addition to any and all therapy based practices.
We believe that in order to be a great therapist you must first take care of yourself which is why our retreats are full of receiving, filling up your body mind and spirit with daily yoga, meditation, rest and time to gently clear your own emotional baggage. It’s time to restore you. It’s your time now to refill, to dance and laugh away limitations, to embrace more of you.
Sign up to becoming healthier, happier and full of curiosity.

RETREAT LEADERS
Ellen is passionate about all things bodywork and has been in the massage industry for 15 years learning different modalities and techniques from remedial & Hawaiian massage to myotherapy. She believes that a loving touch has the power to transform lives and wants everybody to have the opportunity to give and receive Heartworks. After years of rigorous and life changing training at Mettes Institute Ellen started facilitating Heartworks in her home town of Killcare on the sunny Central Coast near Sydney, Australia.
She has lived in Bali with her two daughters who consider it a second home and is thrilled to bring Heartworks to Bali so more people can access this beautiful healing art. She feels that the combination of this simple yet powerful massage and Bali’s healing spirit will create a retreat not to be missed.

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.
Floating Leaf Eco-Retreat believes in full transparency. The “++” that you will see for all hotels in Bali, and throughout Asia, refers to a government mandatory tax and service charge. Please be aware of this when comparing prices as some retreats will not disclose this information and can inflate this charge up to 40% in hidden costs.
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. Please be sure to read our complete terms and conditions. Thank you and we look forward to welcoming you to Bali and Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat.
