Highlands Centre for Healing

Highlands Centre for Healing

LOCATION
251 Mount Broughton Road, Moss Vale NSW 2577

RETREAT SNAPSHOT
The BioHax Edit:
Not all wounds are visible, and not all healing happens on a yoga mat. This trauma-informed residential centre is where structured support meets luxury digs, with programs that unpack, unlearn and rebuild.

THE EXPERIENCE
Highlands Centre for Healing isn’t a day spa with smoothies and vague affirmations. It’s a clinically supported, live-in recovery retreat focused on emotional trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and complex grief.

Set on tranquil Southern Highlands acreage, this is a fully facilitated space where nervous systems decompress, therapy gets real, and healing is anything but surface-level. All programs are trauma-informed and built to meet you where you are.

Expect daily group therapy, equine sessions, somatic work, and optional one-on-ones with psychotherapists, counsellors, and trauma specialists. This is where high-functioning burnout meets its match, and where the rebuild begins.

WHO IT'S FOR
BioHax Snapshot:
Professionals with emotional trauma, veterans of talk therapy, people facing PTSD, addiction recovery, complex grief, burnout, or deep nervous system dysregulation.
