Mindset Support

14/09/2026

A gentle note for referrers: we have capacity opening in October 2026 for new behaviour support clients.

If you’re supporting someone who could benefit from behaviour support, whether that’s building positive behaviour strategies, working through a functional behaviour assessment, or having someone in their corner who takes the time to understand the “why” behind behaviour, we’d love to hear from you.

We work alongside participants, families, and support teams to build strategies that actually fit real life, not just what looks good on paper.

Referrals are open now for October. You can send a request through our website securely (link in bio) or reach out anytime for support with this at [email protected].

A Supportive group of caring and service based professionals from allied health, medical, education and business owners- our differences make us-we learn from each other, all want to feel supported from the impacts of stress, and need a new environmental reset to practice new tools and bring this back to our everyday lives.

$3,900 per person,
Early bird- $3,700 for bookings paid in full by 11.59pm Tuesday 6 October 2026.

$900 of your payment is a non-refundable deposit. Everything else is fully refundable up to Wednesday 25 November 2026. After that date your place can be transferred to another participant.

Getting there
You will usually connect through Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore or Malaysia and total travel time is commonly 10 hours or more. Vietjet does operate some direct Australia to Da Nang routes, so it is worth checking from your city.

Organise your own flights or reach out to your local small business travel agent, to arrive at Da Nang airport. Download the Grab app before you go and experience the ease of booking an inexpensive and safely tracked taxi to our hotel on your own time, before we start our time together.
Spend this time uninterrupted reading that book or watching that movie. Travel insurance before booking anything is a must when travelling overseas or in international waters.

Weather- Late January in central Vietnam offers pleasantly warm temperatures ranging from 19°C to 24°C, accompanied by typical daily sunshine, we will catch it before the upcoming hot season.

What’s included
• Four nights accommodation, for one person in your own room
• breakfast and lunches, and welcome dinner.
• All facilitated sessions and materials
• Somatic practice spa treatment if you wish to do so.
• Social enterprise Teahouse session
• Phin coffee workshop
• Online group follow up session at six weeks, social media group if you would like to join.
A certificate of completion for your time- which most professionals need for their CPD records.
You may be able to claim 16 hours of continuing professional development points.

Where we stay
A small boutique hotel of nine rooms, run by the lovely Twee who lives mindfully with her own daily practices.
There is a central gathering space we can come back to at any point, and you can retreat to your own room whenever you want to.
An Bang is a beach village rather than a resort strip. Quiet, walkable, and a short ride from the Ancient Town.

What we will do

No early starts- it’s important to give yourself time to rest. If you’re an early riser and you thrive off this- the beach is a beautiful place to be at 6 in the morning.

Using an acceptance and commitment therapy approach- you will Design your own self care and Values and Action commitment plan from what you have learnt about what has really restored you over your time in the Vietnam.
We will get creative with an art session to do this! Think- swifty friendship “accountability” bracelets and Vietnamese conical hat painting with your values and action words.
You will take both home, which is the point- A plan you can see beats a plan in a drawer.

We look at what boundaries actually are once you strip away the advice to just say no, and how to hold them with compassion rather than guilt.
This expands interactively on my online course, Mindset Support for Professional Boundaries and Self Care. If you have done it, this goes considerably deeper. If you haven’t, you will not be behind.
You might choose to start by unplugging and setting some digital boundaries during our time together-

Daily mindfulness practice
Drawing on the principles of mindfulness based stress reduction, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. It is a secular approach, and there is now a substantial evidence base behind it for people who spend their working lives absorbing other people’s distress.
In plain terms, mindfulness is noticing what is happening right now, including the uncomfortable parts, without rushing to judge or fix it. For those of us trained to assess and intervene, that is surprisingly hard and surprisingly useful.

A silent mindfulness session at a social enterprise Teahouse

In the heart of the Ancient Town, this social enterprise is staffed mostly by people who are speech and hearing impaired, and the whole space is built around the beauty of silence. You order by checking a paper menu with a pencil, and communicate using small wooden blocks with printed words.
Being somewhere that treats silence as the default, rather than something to be filled, does something you cannot really explain in advance.

Somatic practicing through a spa treatment
Included, and less indulgent than it sounds. Learning to notice what your body is telling you is a skill, and it is easier to learn when your body is not braced.

We will be lucky to have onsite tailoring and other close by options,to have your daily wardrobe sorted with personally tailored linen fits- at a much more accessible price. Get some inspiration pics ready!

We start our time together with a Welcome dinner on the first night- if you would like to- this is a good time to set an intention for the next few days, and express what you would like to get out of our time together. Otherwise you have free time in the evenings, chill and eat a grab takeaway dinner downstairs at our hotel, in your room for some solo time or have a dinner out and some dancing.

Mindfulness in nourishment-
A Vietnamese phin coffee workshop in a beautiful space, made slowly.
I am wholeheartedly in favour of the pleasure and the ritual of coffee. Phin coffee cannot be hurried, which is exactly why it works as a practice you can take home. Five quiet minutes that already fit into a morning you already have.
You get to make a few different delicious drinks on the menu- perhaps try the condensed milk iced version or a warm egg coffee?

Mindfulness in Movement- A rice paddy bike ride and stop at a cafe amongst the fields for lunch.

Space for 7,
Open to women and non-binary people.

You are welcome here however you are. I will ask for your pronouns when you book and I will use them.

A note on family
I am a solo mum and a solo business owner, so I understand the real logistics of finding time for yourself. It is why I built the days the way I did. My older daughter travels with me, she’s very familiar with the area we are staying and times are changing- she is actually so excited for my offerings! Right life stage- right time.

If you want to bring family and turn this into a longer trip, that works. Evenings are free, and Hoi An is a genuinely easy place to travel with children. I am happy to share what I know about the area, though the daily course hours themselves are for participants only, If you decide to organise your own childcare during the days and want to share your room with family, please reach out.

If you want to extend your stay, I can point you toward a few places I love.
I really enjoy tacking on a stay at the hoianna resort for a big hotel luxury option-

Who this isn’t for

This is professional development. It is not therapy, and it is not a substitute for treatment or clinical care. There is no individual therapeutic work,
If you are currently in crisis or in the acute part of something difficult, this is not the right time, If you are simply worn down by the weight of caring and service based work and want to live sustainably, you are exactly who I had in mind.

Many participants find this is deductible as professional development or business coaching. I am not able to give tax advice, so please check with your accountant. You will receive a proper invoice, and a certificate of hours to support that.

Employer funded places are welcome. I can invoice your organisation directly.

This is something we hear often working in systems out of our control.

The desire to help is one of the greatest strengths in our sector.

But sometimes it can also make it difficult to set limits.

Healthy boundaries and looking after yourself is something you can actually control, and gives you future energy to be the change.

A sign your self-care might need attention: you can list five things everyone else needs, but you go quiet when someone asks what you need.

Self-care isn’t just bubble baths and early nights. It’s noticing when you’ve been running on empty for so long that rest doesn’t even register as an option anymore.

If that sounds familiar, this is your gentle reminder to check in with yourself the way you’d check in with someone you love.

One of the things I've learnt over the years is that caring for people is only one part of the role.

The other part is learning how to care sustainably and intentionally

Many workers enter this sector because they are compassionate, empathetic and deeply committed.

But nobody teaches you how to know when to step back.

If this resonates with you, I have a free resource called 9 Simple Guidelines for Maintaining Professional Boundaries for Disability and Caring Supports to help you build sustainable practices while continuing to provide compassionate support.

Visit our website to download your free copy and explore additional resources designed to support care workers.

Interesting! Such a great idea.

Why do teenage girls always ask for specific seating in parks?

One of the most common responses we hear when we talk to teenage girls about what would encourage them to use parks more is - seating.

However others may think: “But there are already benches in the park.”

And that’s often true. But simply providing seating isn’t the same as creating places where teenage girls feel comfortable spending time.

When we speak to girls, they tell us that sitting together is often the whole point of visiting the park. It’s where they chat, laugh, decompress, support one another and simply spend time together.

So it’s not just whether there is seating, but what kind of seating and where it’s located. Girls often tell us they value:
-Seating designed for groups, not just individuals.
-Curved or sociable layouts that make conversation easy.
-Places close enough to feel connected to the park, but set back enough not to feel like they’re on display.
- Seating clusters spread out so no one group dominates a space.
- Natural materials, such as timber, that feel warmer and more inviting than cold metal.

There isn’t one perfect solution. Every park and every community is different.
But when girls consistently tell us that they want places to sit together, it’s worth asking whether the seating we provide has really been designed with them in mind. What you find is what works for teenage girls, works for many other people too.

Because creating more inclusive parks isn’t just about adding more benches. It’s about creating places where people feel they belong.

NAIDOC Week 2026 has celebrated 50 Years of Deadly. Five decades of Elders, organisers, artists and communities who kept showing up.
To keep the celebration going, for the creative generations First Nations dance my daughter is participating in next week on the Brisbane stage, I’ve put together a gift bag filled entirely with products from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander items. Every item was chosen because the story behind it matters, and because of its beauty.
To enter, follow on Facebook or instagram, and/or .rgiadale so I can access you if you win- and share a First Nations business, artist or creator you think people should know about in the comments. I’ll be following the recommendations too.
Entries close 5pm, Sunday 19th July 2026. Winner drawn at random and announced here. This giveaway is not sponsored by or associated with meta. Artwork credit- Artwork credit- Womens Ceremonial Place
