About Deb and Ian
We personally provide counselling in Cotton Tree, Maroochydore, and online by video or phone. You can start with an appointment on its own, with no retreat or accommodation booking.
Tell us who you would prefer to work with. We discuss your needs and agree the practitioner, format, session length and fee before you decide. Our love of people, natural living and the coast also shapes the private retreats we have hosted here since 2010.
Since 2010
Beach Health Retreat has been welcoming guests since 2010. Deb and Ian bring that history of personal hosting and wellbeing support to every stay, from the first conversation to the time you spend here.
Our shared work supporting people began in 1980. Before Beach Health Retreat, that work included wellbeing services on the Sunshine Coast from 1999 and customised retreats in Noosa and on the Sunshine Coast from 2001.
Our approach continues to evolve around the needs of the people who come to us. What remains at its heart is a private retreat, personal attention and a plan shaped with you.
A warmth for people. A love of the coast.
Deb’s background includes meditation, yoga, time in retreat settings, and work with people in wellbeing and community settings on the Sunshine Coast.
Deb provides counselling in person and online, as well as massage and non-invasive bodywork. You can arrange a counselling appointment on its own and ask to work with Deb when you enquire.
Natural living. Time with purpose.
Ian’s background brings together Ayurveda, natural living and practical education, including permaculture.
Ian provides counselling in person and online, massage and non-invasive bodywork, and Ayurveda consultations. You can arrange counselling on its own and ask to work with Ian when you enquire.
Your retreat plan sets out exactly who does what for your stay. In general:
Beach Health Retreat is a non-clinical wellbeing retreat, not a medical or psychiatric treatment service.
The way we see a retreat
Enough structure to be useful. Enough room to make the time your own.
