YOUR FACILITATORS:

Arabella Hampshire - Holistic Health Coach, Pilates Instructor and Reiki Healer.

Arabella has curated and facilitated over 14 retreats in Australia and is now ready to bring some of her retreat magic to her new home town of Christchurch.

Arabella is an accredited holistic health coach who specialises in helping women reconnect to themselves, their body, their bodies incredible wisdom and intuition and silence out the ‘diet culture’ in your mind and teach you how to eat intuitively instead. 

Nervous system regulation and self care are also topics that Arabella is very knowledgeable in and loves to share her wisdom in.

Prior to becoming a holistic health coach, Arabella became a full studio Pilates instructor and has a very keen interest in pre and post natal rehabilitation as well as teaching a mindfully breath and form connected class. Having been a student of Pilates since she was 17 years old, it was a natural progression to study and teach Pilates. 

To add an energetic element to Arabella’s holistic wellness toolkit, she studied to become a Reiki healer in 2022 and has been working with clients ever since. 

Arabella’s extensive and broad ranging wellness training, combined with her incredible passion and knowledge about women’s wellness, and her very strong desire for women to feel connected to their bodies makes her a retreat facilitator like no other. 

She is a mumma of two boys and from this understands other mummas desires and need for deep rest, reflection, connection and quiet. Arabella’s first retreats in Australia was born out of her desire for just one day off to reconnect to herself and rest, so that’s what she created!
