About Your Host - Niky Hamilton
Rise UP was developed by a woman who has walked through profound challenges and rebuilt from the inside out.
Niky is:
A trained Dr Demartini Facilitator
An NLP Master Coach
A certified leadership and keynote speaker
A qualified physiotherapist
An award-winning business owner
She built a 7-figure physiotherapy business with a team of 15 women before selling to focus on leadership, speaking and retreat facilitation.
But her work isn’t built only on qualifications.
It’s built on lived experience. She is an authentic and inspiring speaker, who knows what it like to find yourself lost in the trenches.
After navigating deep personal adversity, Niky understood something many women feel but rarely articulate:
We don’t need more pressure to “bounce back.”
We need practical and heartfelt tools to lead ourselves with authenticity through the messy middle.
Rise UP is the framework she built from that understanding.

What You’ll Experience Over 4 Days
Each day blends authentic and engaging seminar content, interactive workshops and relaxation time, all in a luxury space with amazing food and spectacular views.
Mornings will include meditation and movement, followed by a relaxed breakfast on the deck admiring the views.
We then guide you through a supportive series of workshops that form the Rise UP leadership program, followed by a leisurely chef prepared lunch.
Afternoons are relaxed with space for a massage, a walk, down time. Evenings include a short workshop piece followed by dinner and connection time.
Our collective workshop content includes:
Resilient Self-Leadership- How to lead yourself through uncertainty instead of treading water waiting for life to change.
How to Conquer Depletion- Understanding the physical, emotional and mental cost of overgiving — and how to rebuild your mental and emotional capacity sustainably.
How to Find Clear Direction- When life has thrown a curveball, how do you find your next step? We map it out.
How to Shift Your Energy- With tools to regulate your nervous system and create grounded confidence.
How to create Boundaries & Courageous Conversation- Start communicating without apology or resentment.
Clear frameworks. Real practice. Lasting change.
This isn’t inspiration without action.
You’ll create a personalised plan you can actually follow when you return home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to sit in a circle with other women and share my story?
No. Each woman who attends retreat has her own past, her own story. We do not sit in a circle and share our past. We all come for the same reason- we need to press pause and start prioritising ourselves. Start making changes from within. We come together to learn steps forward.
This retreat is about supporting YOU. You will receive a take-home manual where you will be able to write down your own personal thoughts and guided journal reflections.
You can share as little or as much as you like with the other wonderful women on retreat either during group or break and relaxation times and you are fully supported. The choice is completely yours. We are here to help you and if you need to speak to any of our facilitators personally throughout the retreat time we are here for you. Women who have attended find the retreat positive, authentic, supportive and encouraging of each other- wherever you happen to be in the journey of life.
Do I have to be good at yoga?
No! We offer simple movement classes throughout the retreat to get out bodies moving. All classes offered are inclusive for beginners and we are here to offer you a relaxed retreat! Any Yoga will be at a beginner to intermediate level only. If you are not up to completing a class you can simply relax, lie down and enjoy some music- this retreat is about YOU. (And there are no gold medals for the best downward facing dog!)
Do I have to be able to meditate?
No. Each morning we will start gently, and guide you through an easy warming practice of movement as well as guiding you through a simple meditation practice with practical tips on how to use mindfulness meditation when you get home to help calm your nervous system, reduce stress and improve clarity and focus.
What age groups do you have on retreat?
Women of all ages and backgrounds attend our all inclusive retreats. Our youngest has been 24 and our oldest has been 76 (who has come back three times now, she loves our retreat so much!). In my years of teaching I have learnt that no matter what age, women needs tools to navigate. Our ages will vary, our stories might be different, but the feelings we have to navigate are the same. I have found the greatest connections come from open hearts and kindness which is shared on our retreats toward each and every woman, no matter what age.
I'm an introvert- will I be comfortable in a group setting?
Absolutely. The entire retreat experience is designed to be a supportive, held space. We purposely keep the group sizes smaller and intimate to foster connection and supportive space. We also build in plenty of free time for you to decompress and rest on your own terms.
