SUCCESS STORIES
The past 3 days have been incredible. Being able to take time out of my business and focus on working on my business, instead of just working in it every day. Being surrounded by so many other like-minded women who understand what we’re going through. If you’re thinking about attending, I highly recommend it. Even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone. You will feel held and supported and get so much out of it. I can't wait for the next one.
It was great to get myself unstuck from areas that were holding me back and connect with so many likeminded women - with the added bonus of pairing business with holistic wellness, which I think we all need to incorporate in all levels of business. My biggest transformation was recognising that in order to be great at business, you need to be great within yourself. So, blending spirituality and strategy has helped me elevate to the next level. I would definitely come again.
Gifting myself these 3 days was big and it has been full of surprises and insights on a level with the calibre of the group that we were with, led by Laeitita, has been such a gift. I highly recommend you spend time on your business, not in your business. My transformation has been immense clarity. The clarity I now have around my business is profound. I have clear steps of action, possibility and opportunity. And I didn’t start out 3 days ago with that. Thank you Laetitia for holding sacred space.
Imagine if YOU could witness BIG shifts both personally and professionally?
We open the door for you to create your individual legacy.
We believe that for women - especially those leading businesses and movements - there’s a critical need to carve out intentional space for stillness and reflection. In a world that rarely gives us pause, it’s in these quiet moments that we gain clarity, see the bigger picture, and build businesses that are both meaningful and emotionally sustainable.
It's been said that 95% of your success in life is linked to your inner circle. The people around you influence your attitude, money habits, and daily decisions. Surrounding yourself with intelligent, like-hearted individuals can accelerate your personal and professional growth and help you achieve your goals faster than ever before!
Hi, I'm Laetitia Andrac.
I'm a Strategy & Energetics Mentor working at the intersection of intuitive business wisdom, strategic planning, and transformational leadership to help impact-driven entrepreneurs build purposeful, sustainable businesses.
With over 15 years in business and leadership, I've learned that success requires both solid strategy and deep inner work. I support women who are ready to move beyond surface-level tactics and connect with their unique intuitive intelligence to create lasting impact.
I'm not only the founder of Essential Shift Consulting but also the CEO of Understanding Zoe, a social enterprise supporting neurodivergent children to feel understood and included - work that's deeply personal to me as a neurodivergent entrepreneur and mother.
My facilitation style blends business savvy with spiritual depth, helping entrepreneurs navigate the upper limits that traditional blueprints can't address. I'm particularly passionate about what I call 'business alchemy' - transforming vision into sustainable reality through both strategic action and energetic alignment.
I co-created the Stillness & Strategy Retreat because I've seen too many purpose-driven entrepreneurs burn out trying to force growth without honoring their natural rhythms and intuitive wisdom. This retreat is a space to step back, breathe deeply, and reconnect with both your strategic clarity and inner knowing.
Outside of work, I'm a croissant enthusiast, ocean lover, and devoted mama to two little girls. My neurodivergent brain (Autistic and ADHD) brings a unique perspective to everything I do, and I'm learning to embrace the beautiful complexity of being multi-passionate.
Hi, I’m Dr Zoë.
I’m a feminist business coach, facilitator, and strategist - working at the intersection of feminist leadership, systems thinking, and storytelling to help women and gender-diverse people grow meaningful, balanced, purpose-led businesses.
I’m an award-winning startup founder and currently the Growth & Impact Lead at Lift Women, where I support women entrepreneurs across Asia-Pacific to scale with confidence, clarity, and values-alignment.
I also run Raise the Crowd, a consulting studio that supports purpose-led diversity founders to grow businesses that create systems-level change.
With a PhD in feminist consciousness raising and certified facilitation training from the Groupwork Institute, I bring both rigour and softness to my work. My facilitation style is spacious, strategic, and a little bit spiritual - designed to hold you through moments of clarity, contradiction, and big-picture visioning. I’m especially passionate about small-group process, collective reflection, and the kind of insight that only emerges in stillness.
I co-created the Stillness & Strategy Retreat because I’ve seen how often women put themselves last, especially the ones building things that matter. This retreat is a space to breathe, recalibrate, and come back to your work with clarity, structure, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Outside of work, I’m a DJ and amateur dancer with a soft spot for slow mornings, pottering and feminist histories. I live in Castlemaine on Dja Dja Wurrung Country with my husband and dog, trying to practice what I preach (with varying levels of success).

SUCCESS STORIES
For me, this experience has opened up the space that I needed to take my existing group coaching program to the next level. It's given me an amazing community of women to test ideas and concepts with, all whilst connecting in a way that's real and authentic.
It has been an amazing experience - the location is divine. We did drumming and cacao ceremonies, gathered around the fireplace, and indulged in the most incredible food, all made by our talented chef.
I highly recommend this to anyone who feels stuck in their business, or for those who need new ideas and input. It was great to gather with like-minded women - everyone had something amazing to share. It has been transformative for me as I have gathered so many new ideas.
Doing this Business Birthing Retreat has been such an amazing and valuable experience for me. I'm launching my business and I've learnt so much from Laetitia and all of the incredible women who I've been part of this amazing retreat with. It's been great to have the space and take time out. I highly recommend it.
SUCCESS STORIES
Before joining this retreat, I had a lot of resistance around time to get certain offers out, which were holding me back. But since coming on the retreat, I've birthed a new offer to help business owners with their content marketing and strategy. And I don't think this would have been possible without Laetitia's strategic support at this incredible retreat.
It has been the most magical retreat. I wasn't expecting to get so far along in this process, which is amazing. I have 4 kids and a really busy life, so to have this time to connect is such a gift. Having Laetitia available to help me with this has been incredible. Ultimately, it’s the connection of like-minded women around me that has been so transformational and I would thoroughly recommend this retreat.
This has been my first retreat and I have loved it so much! Not only because of the spiritual side Laetitia brings, but her incredible strategic mind, and the way she's able to help me grow my business so much in such a short amount of time. We've only been here for 2 days, but all of us are leaving with something tangible to sell or grow for our business'.
