Come Home to Yourself This Winter
Inside the Hibernation Audio Retreat
a 30-day audio retreat for your mind, skin and soul
The Hibernation Audio Retreat is a 30-day audio retreat, a soft, soul-led invitation to rest, reflect and quietly transform.
Each gentle 15-minute session helps you reconnect with your rhythms and reclaim your radiance.
No pressure. No performance. Just stillness, beauty and space to be.
FOR THE WOMAN WHO’S BEEN HOLDING IT ALL TOGETHER
It’s Time to Let Yourself Rest
You’ve been showing up. Carrying it all. Pushing through...even when your body whispered for stillness.
This isn’t another self-care challenge.
This is your cocoon.
The Hibernation Audio Retreat is your permission to...
Pause, soften and begin again, in your own time and your own way.
for only $60
Nature Doesn’t Bloom All Year. You’re Not Meant To Either.
Winter is not a dead zone. It’s a sacred pause: a time to retreat inward, conserve energy and quietly prepare for what's next.
So why do you expect yourself to be in full bloom all the time?
What if this winter was the moment you let go of the striving, and chose softness instead?
You deserve that too.
Give yourself the gift of rest

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Bonjour, I'm Amélie!
I fell in love with makeup playing with my Barbies and after fighting for my dream, I got to train in Brussels (beauty Therapy) and France (makeup). Then, we moved to New Zealand and life threw a curveball with me getting pregnant 3-months after we moved, leading to a tough battle with postnatal depression. Building my business became my lifeline. I rediscovered who I am at my core and finally unveiled my life’s mission: redefine beauty as something innate, transform self-care from “selfish” into a radical act of self-love. Falling in love with yourself is the first act of resistance.
In 2022, I opened The Cocoon, my Clean Beauty Spa, offering facials, makeup and skincare lessons, confidence coaching, and more. Online, my "Bubble" community extends my mission past New Plymouth.
It's about empowering you to fall in love with yourself. I'm thrilled to guide you on this bubbly, transformative journey.
Is this for you?
This is your space if you:
Feel pulled in all directions and long for a break from the noise
Want to reconnect with your pace, not everyone else's expectations
Are curious about clean beauty and natural makeup but feel overwhelmed by the “fix yourself” pressure
Crave confidence that radiates from the inside out
Already enjoy my work and want more, in a soft, guided way
If you're ready to trade striving for stillness... this is your moment.
