Flourish Program Benefits:

The Heart Behind Flourish with Rachel

Flourish with Rachel was founded by Rachel Sanderson, whose passion for empowering others began long before her time as a Member of State Parliament and South Australia’s Minister for Child Protection. With decades of experience in leadership, community advocacy and personal development, Rachel brings depth, authenticity and care to every program.

Her vision is to help people of all ages step into their confidence — not by meeting external expectations, but by discovering their own strengths, voice and presence. Through carefully designed experiences, Rachel invites participants to pause, reflect, and embrace who they are, while building the life skills to move forward with purpose, style and self-assurance.

Real Experiences. Lasting Impact.

This course was fun, and I made loads of friends who were my age. I had fun trying new things whilst doing things that were useful. Some things take longer but Rachel and her crew made it fun.

Grace, 11 yrs

Rachel is a wonderful host and made us feel welcome immediately. The location was peaceful, and the food was nourishing and delicious. It even catered to my vegetarian needs. The activities were varied and plentiful, a mix of familiar and new, and they were continually interesting. It really felt like we spent the weekend with old friends, and we left feeling restored and ready for the new week.

Super fun and I learnt lots!

Dinae, 14 yrs

Thank you Rachel. We had a gentle and rewarding retreat with you and the facilitators. I did not know the participants before but by the end of the day, I felt the authenticity and warmth from the group wanting to live better. I personally loved being in the safe space you created -as the energy was kind. Please keep me informed on further retreats. It’s so good to find high quality holistic retreats in Adelaide.

Genevieve Theseira-Haese

I attended on of Rachels day retreats it was a great day to not only re-charge your energy but to learn very interesting modalities such as Tai Chi and the Crystal bowl was really insightful. Loved all of it, highly recommend if you want to unplug and learn ways of restoring your life force. Just a great experience and valuable learnings to get your life on track and great take home tools to restore balance in your life. Loved the values session to get clarity on my direction in life. Loved the Tai Chi, I found it so interesting, especially the respect that was paid to the history, origins and meaning behind all of the moves.

Sue Bromley

The retreat gave me time to focus totally on myself, restoring my mind, body and soul and being in the present moment. I connected with new wonderful strong women. Because I give so much of myself in my work, the retreat was all about giving back to myself. I personally loved being in the safe space you created -as the energy was kind. Please keep me informed on further retreats. It’s so good to find high quality holistic retreats in Adelaide.

Bec Norton

Fantastic series of workshops from walking well, protocols, and hand care, to styling with your best colours and taking a good photo! I feel more confidence about owning my own space after attending. Rachel and Belinda are fantastic instructors with years of experience. Highly recommend 👌

Charlie-Helen Robinson

My Daughter found this course fun and educational. It teaches you the skills of becoming a more independent young lady. I did a similar course with Rachel, and knew what to expect with her excellence & professionalism, highly recommend!

Katarina Hennessy

Flourish with Rachel! These fun and fantastic workshops empower you to look, feel, and be your best. As an image and style consultant, I recently had the honor of teaching the fashion and styling component. In both teen and adult sessions, we delved into colour analysis, styling tips, principles, and wardrobe capsules. Rachel and Belinda's Flourish sessions are super informative, practical, and enjoyable, ensuring anyone can feel fabulous! The four-day teen course is a great holiday activity, and the flexible adult sessions let you focus on what interests you. Thanks, ladies—I'm eagerly anticipating April!

Lizzy Eden

I attended 3 of the Flourish with Rachel workshops and they were all excellent. The presenters were all very knowledgeable. The time we had with each one was jam packed with information, suggestions and tips. I highly recommend these workshops. They are good value for money. I gained a lot from them.
