Angel Sponsorship
Our fundraising supports women in distress who can’t afford full accommodation fees. Every time you contribute to your stay at the Women’s Healing Sanctuary you are not only gifting something special for yourself, you are also paying it forward to other women in need.
Our intention is to offer a retreat to any woman who may benefit, regardless of their capacity to pay. For women seeking Sponsorship, please call

Traumatised women often have trouble sensing what is going on in their bodies …
which impairs their ability to look after or take care of themselves.
