Hello from me @wallissimo and my mam @sarah.j.murphy.315 Together we run Ballymore Retreat 🌿
Mum spent 30 years in Australia, where my brother @dingo_building_co and I were born, and then moved home to Ireland to spend quality time with her parents in their final years.
I grew up in Fremantle, W.A. and then moved to Ireland at 17 to study acting @gaietyschool I lived in Dublin for the best part of 10 years (time of my life!) before moving back to Australia. This time to Melbourne where I have built an exceptional wellness community of exquisite, wise and wonderful women. Now I move between both Ireland and Australia - I’m lucky enough to call two places home.
Mum and I are so excited to build an exceptional community in this new chapter together here in Ballymore Eustace, Co. Kildare #familyowned #familyadventures #familybusiness #family #irishroots
Take a tour around room 6, my auntie Caroline’s favourite room. Like every ensuite room, it has a new bathroom, luscious linen, plenty of natural light and space to retreat 😌 so much of what you see at Ballymore Retreat has been up-recycled, recycled and pre-loved, mainly thanks to my grandparents’ house of treasures. Thank you R+A ♥️

Welcome to Ballymore Retreat in Co. Kildare, Ireland — our humble, eclectic space for rest, connection and transformation.
Over the past year, my mother @sarah.j.murphy.315 family and friends @oregan_murphy_chloe@graham.murphy2@sarah.vidler1 and myself @wallissimo have been lovingly renovating, bringing together cosy bedrooms, vintage pieces, colourful art, peaceful practice rooms and little corners to gather, connect and feel at home in our home.
And now, after so much care and intention, we’re finally ready to open our doors to host retreats. and weekend get aways.
We can’t wait to welcome you here. Dm me for details.

Choosing accommodation for your retreat is not just about finding somewhere beautiful. It is about finding somewhere that helps you run the retreat smoothly.
1. Choose a venue that is retreat-ready
2. Check the real capacity
3. Look for clear pricing upfront
4. Reduce your financial risk
5. Make room allocation easy
A beautiful venue is lovely. A retreat-ready venue is what makes hosting feel calm, clear, and supported.
🛟 Save this checklist for your next retreat venue search 🧡

It’s ok to sit in the rubble awhile so long as you trust the light will shine through.
“Quit, don’t quit. Noodles, don’t noodles. You are too concerned with what was and what will be. There is a saying: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.”— Master Oogway, #KungFuPanda

Your environment is never “just the backdrop” — your nervous system is taking cues from it all day.
When you change your environment, you change what your nervous system is responding to.
Research on nature exposure shows it can support stress recovery by shifting the body toward a calmer state, including parasympathetic activation.(1)
Studies also link green + blue spaces with better mental health and wellbeing, through pathways like reduced stress, psychological recovery, and improved cognition/attention. (2)
A larger reviews/meta-analyses find that greater exposure to green space is associated with lower risk of depression and anxiety. (3)
That’s why Massoga® Greece is such a powerful opportunity: a calm, ocean-facing setting that helps you downshift, daily practices outdoors, alfresco dining, swims in crystal clear waters—so the changes you’re craving feel easier to access and easier to keep.
👉 Massoga® Greece • June 2026 is nearly full — with one private room and one twin room remaining.

You on channel?
The world is pretty crazy right now. How are you handling it within yourself? Within your community?
It’s vital to make time and space in your life for what is innately human - connection - with self and community.
We are heading back to Magnetic Island in November for exactly this. Retreat time to get back on channel. Our May retreat is no longer available. Book now for November 😌

Touch isn’t a “nice extra” — it’s a human need. 🤍
When life is full, we can go weeks without real, nourishing contact… and our bodies feel it.
Research shows touch-based interventions can help regulate stress (including cortisol) and reduce anxiety and pain, while supporting wellbeing.
That’s why massage on Massoga® Greece is more than a treatment — it’s part of the reset. We invite your whole system to remember: I’m safe. I can soften now.
You’ll be so beautifully cared for: we have three dedicated therapists on retreat, available throughout the week to nurture you with exceptional massage skills — so you don’t have to think about a thing. You simply receive. 🌿
Massoga® Greece • June 2026
We have one private room left ✈️

There’s something powerful that happens when women gather with intention.
Space softens. Bodies exhale. Hearts open.
This retreat was a remembrance — of stillness, connection, nourishment, movement, laughter, reflection, and coming home to yourself. We are doing it again this May ✨ @yogawithrayne@wallissimo@katie.stoliker
From sunrise practices to shared meals, deep conversations, journaling, nature walks, and sunset moments… every part of this experience invited us back into what really matters.
This is your permission to pause.
To be held.
To reconnect with your body, your truth, and your next chapter.
