About Healing Holidays

Healing Holidays creates trauma-informed retreats in Bali that bring together therapeutic care and traditional healing.


We work alongside qualified therapists and Balinese ceremonial leaders to offer experiences that are grounded, respectful, and carefully held.

In Relation

A psychotherapy-led retreat for women ready to understand their patterns, repair what’s been ruptured, and shift how they show up in relationship.

Led by qualified therapist Sam Forbes, this retreat offers therapeutic interventions alongside traditional Balinese ceremony and somatic tools — designed to support deep emotional processing and meaningful, lasting change.

Through a structured daily framework focused on attachment, communication, and boundary work, you’ll explore your relational blueprint in a safe and professionally held environment.

Holding Healers

A reflective practice and professional development retreat for therapists, psychologists, and wellness practitioners who hold space for others — and are ready to be held themselves.

Facilitated by Samantha Forbes, a registered clinical social worker and trauma-informed therapist, this program blends structured reflective practice with traditional Balinese healing and somatic restoration. It’s designed to help practitioners process the emotional residue of care work, renew boundaries, and reconnect to the body’s natural rhythm of repair.

Through a considered daily framework of group reflection, embodied integration, and ceremony, you’ll explore your professional and personal patterns within a safe, ethically held environment — restoring clarity, connection, and capacity.

Go with the flow

Healing isn’t forced or rushed — it unfolds when the right conditions are presentUnderstanding helps. Change follows when the body and relationships catch up.

This work asks for patience, attentiveness, and respect — for people, for place, and for the process itself. Ritual and structure aren’t used to create outcomes, but to offer steadiness along the way.

Healing isn’t a destination. It’s a practice of staying in relationship — with yourself, with others, and with the systems that shape us.
