AWAKEN WITHIN RETREAT 2026
You smile.You keep going.
You hold it all together.
But somewhere along the way, you lost yourself.
This retreat is for the woman who just need to be with herself, rest and find the joy she long lost.
12 women · 3 days by the sea
1st to 3rd June, Kota Kinabalu
Only 12 Spaces Available
You Are Not Exhausted Because You Are Weak…
But Because You Never Stopped.
You do everything...
You have been strong for everyone. For years.
And you do it without a single real break and no complaint!
But eventually it has a cost.
You became the dependable one.
The one who managed the family, handled whatever that came and kept everything running smoothly.
Now, everyone leaned on you, and till now, you kept going.
But lately, something feels different. You laugh less. You worry more.
And at 2am when you should be asleep, your mind is still going.
Your body is starting to speak too. Heavy shoulders. A tight chest. Aches you cannot quite explain.
You call it stress. Or just life. But what we carry emotionally does not stay in the mind.
It moves into the body. And it stays there until we give it somewhere safe to go.
What Your Body Is Trying
To Tell You
They are layers of emotions buried deep inside you.
Your body feels like it belongs to someone else
The tension in your shoulders. The tightness in your chest. The pain that comes and goes without explanation.
You live around it, hoping it will pass. But the body keeps the score. And it will keep speaking until you listen.
You snap, and then you feel terrible about it
It was never really about the small thing. It was everything underneath, pressing up to the surface because it had nowhere else to go.
You are not becoming difficult. You are becoming full.
You feel guilty every time you rest
Somewhere along the way, you learned that your worth was tied to how much you gave. So sitting still feels wrong. Resting feels selfish.
Even your quiet moments are filled with a list of things you should be doing instead.
You feel alone, even in a full room
You smile, you show up, you hold space for everyone else. But who is holding space for you?
You carry things you cannot explain and burdens nobody else can see. And quietly, you have started pulling away.
Their stories are familiar… because they’re are yours too
Deep Inside, You Are emotionally drained..
Are you still keeping:
> words that still hurt you
> resentment you had for others
> disappointments on you on others
> fear of ending up alone as you age.
>constant worries about life and the future.
These emotions stay in you....
Because the body...keeps them.
And they became a burden that never leaves you.
because they was never fully gone.
What Happens If Nothing Changes?
It starts affecting your health, relationships, and joy.
Here is what nobody talks about.
Emotional exhaustion left unaddressed does not just make you tired.
Research links it to chronic pain, autoimmune flares, hormonal disruption,
and early cognitive decline especially in women over 40.
Your body has been absorbing what your mind refused to feel.
That debt comes due in your joints, your sleep, your relationships, your memory.
Not one day. Quietly. Slowly. Already happening.
You can't hold to them too long:
This is the reason we created this for you:
Because you need.
A space where you can let go without having to explain yourself.
A shoulder to cry on. You can release the weight, rest your mind without feeling guilty.
Hands to hold you as you process your feelings.
A safe environment where you are seen, heard, and not judged.
Introducing Awaken Within 2026
A 3- Days Nervous System Reset Experience
“You can’t heal what you don’t feel.” — John Bradshaw
What We Do Together Over 3 Days
Day 1 - Awareness and Nervous System Exploration.
We begin by helping you understand what has been quietly draining you.
Using our nervous system exploration protocol, you will start to identify the hidden emotional load behind your exhaustion.
By the end of Day 1, you will know why you feel the way you do. And that understanding alone is deeply releasing.
Day 2 - Release and Let Go
This is where the work becomes gentle and real.
Using our emotional release protocol, you will begin to feel and release the patterns that have been repeating in your life. The resentment you never expressed. The disappointment you quietly swallowed. The fear you have carried for years.
You will not be pushed. You will be guided to let go what you are willing to.
Day 3 - Embody and Live Free - Step into a life you truly want to live
You leave with practical tools you can use every day. Not another course you forget. Simple, real ways to release emotional weight before it builds up again.
So when you return home feeling you will lighter, and stay that way.
See What’s Possible for You..
These stories are a glimpse of what can happen when women feel safe enough
to release, and receive support.
" I didn’t realise how heavy my emotional wounds were until I experienced healing sessions with Angela. She created such a safe and supportive space that allowed me to release what I’ve been carrying for years. I always leave feeling lighter, more at peace, and clearer within myself. Truly the beginning of my healing journey"
" I felt my life has changed after joining my sessions with Angela. For the first time, I began releasing suppressed emotions and past traumas I didn’t even realise I was carrying. I feel calmer, with more mental clarity, and I’m no longer overthinking everything. I can now make decisions without feeling overwhelmed. Using the oils especially White Angelica has helped protect my energy and bring a deep sense of calm, even while working with my patients. The biggest turning point was understanding my core emotions through the body type guidance. After that, everything shifted. I started letting go of what no longer aligned with me without guilt. Now, I feel more connected to my intuition, and I can see the difference in how I support my patients and their healing. I’m truly grateful for this journey it feels like the beginning of something deeper.
"I was intrigued with my experience in today’s emotional healing session. I literally felt the strong movement of block energy … it was such astounding experience for me and I admire the way Angela, you patiently work through with me to clear this out! Feel a load of weight lifted. Thanks……
“I didn’t realise how much I was holding....I was feeling a lot of tension around my shoulders and neck, which eventually led to a headache. I knew I was stressed but couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause. After sessions with with Dena, we identified the reason for my tension and using the right essential oil to help release the particular emotion that caused me pain. I was pleasantly surprised to feel as though a heavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders"
I slowly understand myself..Dena has been incredibly helpful in helping me understand my core emotions and let go of deeply ingrained feelings holding me back. It has been a novel experience for me, as I also discovered how my body type influences my emotions. This transformation has been highly beneficial, improving my self-understanding and allowing me to focus on my true potential"
“I finally felt like I could breathe again..the emotional release coaching sessions with Dena had a tremendous impact on my emotional. I’ve learned to handle lower and upper back pain, fallopian tube pain, and migraines without relying to much on medication after knowing the connection with me emotions. I’m happier, more in control, and deeply grateful to Dena for being such a dedicated and caring coach, always offering extra time, tips, and a kind, listening ear"

Meet Our Host Coach
Dena Edmund
Nine years ago, Dena was you.
Doing everything. Feeling nothing. Exhausted and in constant pain in ways she could not explain.
Then loss arrived and her body simply stopped cooperating. That was when she discovered something that changed everything. Grief and many others emotions were living inside her body.
When she finally let herself feel and release them, she felt like herself again.
Awaken Within was born from that journey. Because she knows exactly what it costs. And she does not want that for you.
A Private Sanctuary by the Sea
Be here for 3 days where everything is taken care of for you...
For 3 days, everything is taken care of for you.
Imagine waking up to the sound of the sea. No cooking. No cleaning. No one needing anything from you. Just the sound of waves, warm meals, and space to simply be.
Langkah Syabas in Kota Kinabalu is one of the most naturally calming locations in Malaysia. The beach is known to restore a profound sense of peace, something your nervous system has been craving for a long time.
We keep this retreat intimate on purpose. Only 12 women. Small enough to feel safe. Warm enough to feel like family. Many of the friendships formed in retreats like this last for years.
What You'll Leave With
After 3 Days
You return home feeling better compared to the day you arrived.
Your life is still the same.
However something within you has changed.
You will feel lighter. Not just in your body, but in your mind too which is what you want.
You wake up and actually feel ready for the day.
You finally understand more about your own emotions.
You definitely feel lighter.
And perhaps the biggest shift of all: You will stop feeling guilty for doing something for yourself.
If you will feel something stir inside you. A quiet voice that says: I need this, register. Your home and work will be okay. Your family will manage.
But they need you to be okay too.
Your Questions, Answered
Everything you need to feel safe, clear, and ready for this experience
Is this retreat for me?
If you’ve been feeling tired, overwhelmed, or just not quite yourself lately…
this space was created for you.
You don’t need to have a “big problem.”
You just need to feel ready to take a few days for yourself.
What if I don’t know how to “do” emotional work?
You don’t need to know anything. Come with open mind and heart to learn
There’s nothing to prepare, nothing to perform.
You’ll be gently guided of course at your own pace.
You can share… or simply sit and receive.
Will this be intense or overwhelming?
No.
This is not about pushing you to break down. It is to make you aware of your own emotional issues, needs or challenges.
It’s also about creating a safe, calm space where things can unfold naturally.
Everything is gentle, supported, and if any way you feel overwhelm, let us know.
What if I don’t want to share in a group?
That’s completely okay.
You will never be forced to speak.
Many come just to listen, reflect, and rest and that is enough.
What exactly will we be doing?
Over the 3 days, you’ll experience:
Time for yourself
Guided reflection
Gentle emotional release
Understanding your patterns
Powerful tools like using essential oils in emotional release
Time to rest and reconnect
It’s a balance of guidance and quiet space.
What if I feel guilty taking time away?
You might
Most women do.
Because you're used to being the one everyone relies on
But this isn't selfish
This is how you can come back with more to give as you release and refill your empty cup
Will essential oils be used? Do I need to bring anything?
Yes, essential oils will be gently introduced as supportive tools.
You don’t need to bring anything specific—everything will be guided and provided.
You don’t need another holiday. You need a rest from everything. Just 3 days..
Your Investment
But staying where you are will costs you more.
What does staying exactly as you are cost you?
Another year of waking up exhausted.
Another year of feeling disconnected.
Another year of putting yourself last, waiting for a day that never comes.
RM1,299 for 3 days that could give you back yourself. That is not a luxury.
That is one of the most important investments you will make in your health this year.
