About NAWA Wellness

NAWA Wellness is a boutique residential treatment centre in the Gold Coast hinterland of Queensland. Established in 2023, the retreat accommodates a small community of 2-5 guests, creating a private environment where clients can receive individual attention while stepping away from everyday pressures and triggers. Its personalised model supports people experiencing substance use, behavioural addictions, trauma, burnout, eating disorders and a broad range of mental health concerns. Treatment plans may combine psychiatric and medical oversight with individual counselling, group work, family therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, motivational interviewing and relapse prevention. The programme draws on evidence-based treatment, holistic wellness and Twelve Step principles. Care addresses physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, environmental and occupational well-being, with complementary services such as nutrition counselling, mindfulness, art therapy, yoga, massage, equine psychotherapy and therapeutic gardening. Surrounded by bushland and gardens, the residence offers private and shared spaces designed for rest, reflection and connection. Guests can use the pool, sauna, fitness area and tennis court or take part in nature-based outings, beach walks and other recreational activities that support healthy routines and sustainable recovery.
