A Private Retreat Space for Mindful Living in the Northern Rivers

BREATHWORK. MEDITATION. MINDFULNESS. 

Welcome to Rise Temple — a sacred space offering breathwork, retreats, and healing experiences, including those eligible for NDIS support.

Why Your Inner World Matters…

THE BREATHWORK PATH TO CALM, CLARITY & CHANGE

It’s not the outside world that creates overwhelm—it’s how we meet it from within.

When we slow our breath and tend to our inner world with presence and love, everything shifts.
Thoughts soften. Clarity returns. Life begins to feel whole again.

RISE TEMPLE WELLNESS

Rise Temple is not your typical wellness retreat… it’s a living, breathing sanctuary nestled on sacred land in the Northern Rivers hinterland. Here, the breath slows, the nervous system softens, and presence begins to deepen.

This is a space where wellness is not performed—it’s lived.

Each offering invites you to return to the body, the breath, and the truth of this moment. Whether through weekly classes, immersive retreats, or the 6-week online course, the path is always the same: gentle, grounded, and guided from within.

A HOME FROM HOME…

Rise Temple holds you—quietly, lovingly, in nature’s embrace. With fruit trees, running water, and skies that open to stillness, this land becomes a mirror for your inner calm.

From deep rest to creative reawakening, this is a place for reconnection. A place not to escape life, but to come home to it.

WELCOME, I’M AMANDA JANE

Certified Breath & Mindfulness Guide—also known as The Calm Coach.

I created Rise Temple as a sacred, earth-rooted space for those longing to slow down and reconnect with their true self. Before opening this sanctuary, I was honoured to serve as the resident breathwork coach at The Buttery Private Rehabilitation Centre, supporting individuals on profound journeys of healing and transformation.

I believe slow breathing is one of the most powerful tools we have — and I’ve lived that truth.

As someone who once struggled with social anxiety, I know how breath can reshape the way you see yourself and the world around you.

Slowing your breath:

· Enhances mindfulness, clarity, and decision-making

· Deepens your connection to yourself, others, and the present moment

· Transforms the way you live, work, and love… it’s the foundation for a vibrant and fulfilled life

And I’m here to guide you into that rhythm, one breath at a time.

I highly recommend a Breathwork journey with Amanda. I felt safe and supported to dive deep, and really appreciated the dynamic, feminine finesse of Amanda’s Breathwork style. At a transitional point in life my intention was to breakthrough glass ceilings, release and let go of limiting beliefs and do it in a self loving, self affirming, forgiving and accepting way. I’m grateful to be feeling the shift already!

Thank you Amanda.

I can only describe my time at Rise Temple with Amanda Jane as a gentle, comfortable ‘out of body’ experience From the picturesque drive up through farmland giving way to rainforest, didn’t prepare me for the idyllic setting. Grassy banks, to a small tranquil lake with a waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation… my dream space.

The breathwork sessions were equally as beautiful - very nurturing and safe, yet challenged me to probe a little deeper into my innerself. I loved the format of the sessions and even felt comfortable enough (for the first time ever) to 'share' my experiences openly. 

Amanda has a rare gift and I am thankful for a truly life changing experience.

If you’re ready to feel clearer, calmer, and more connected—to yourself, to others, and to something greater—I’m here with open arms.

Let’s rise, together.

  • “My journey with Amanda was truly something special, she made me feel so safe and comfortable. She helped to push me out of my comfort zone and the whole experience was incredibly empowering and healing. It’s unbelievable how much lighter and more balanced I felt after my journey with her, she is such a blessing x”

    ~ Zoe F, Robina, QLD Australia

  • “Breathwork with Amanda was calming and I felt that I needed to calm down a bit from my mental speed and pace. To release into the body and feel more meditative. It was like a meditation practice but guided... so more closely attuned to the sensations in the body, and slowing down the breath which is a huge stress release... for me anyway!”

    ~ Christian M, Kingscliff, NSW Australia

  • “I have been to a few different breathwork before but THIS ONE with Amanda Jane was above and beyond. I Have managed to get out of the thought mind very quickly and had an intense journey. Amanda's soothing voice and amazing guidance helped me dive deep and heal on the subconscious level. I Strongly recommend Amanda Jane and her breathwork facilitation.”

    ~ Mark O, Currumbin, QLD Australia

  • “I truly loved this experience! It helped me to understand where I am at in my peri-menopause journey. The information provided by Amanda (naturopath) and Stephanie (nutritionist) was so helpful. It really gave me a well rounded understanding of what I can do to minimise any symptoms. The lunch was fresh and delicious. Lastly, the breathwork and sound experience with Amanda Jane was out of this world. I was transported to many places. Using the noise cancelling headphones kept the whole experience very personal. Thank you so much x”

    ~Sarah, Pottsville, NSW Australia

  • “It was a great experience, confronting at times but was good for my body to release emotions and feelings it had been holding on to for far too long. I would highly recommend.”

    ~ Bec, Northern Rivers, NSW Australia

  • “I loved my experience of regenerative breathwork with Amanda Jane. I felt comfortable and supported throughout and really appreciated the content shared. The music was gorgeous and Amanda Jane's voice is lovely and soothing as she guided us in the practice. I haven't used wireless headphones with breathwork before - Wow! Having the music and Amanda Jane's voice so clear and close added another dimension to the practice and allowed me to really focus and connect deeply. I highly recommend Amanda Jane's regenerative Breathwork journey and look forward to doing another one soon!”

    ~ Michelle G, Kingscliff, NSW Australia

  • “My Breathwork session was excellent. Amanda provided me with a very good introduction, explanation, and preparation, making me feel completely safe, at ease, and well-guided throughout the entire session. Her approach is mindful and professional, leaving a lasting impression. I highly recommend anyone to experience a Breathwork session with Amanda, as it brings about amazing sensations that can lead to tangible and intangible positive changes on a mental and physical level. Whatever the outcome, I feel it's a transformative experience to be embraced. Thank you again Amanda”

    ~ Damien R, Byron Bay, NSW Australia

  • “Amanda’s space was welcoming on entry and I felt held, heard and nurtured by the experience every step of the way. I have immediately noticed this journey’s benefits with my feeling of been grounded and regulated and in my power to co regulate. This is what the world needs now! ~

    Maxine G, Crabbes Creek, NSW Australia

  • “I had read about Breathwork in many Sunday supplements, and how it could ease the feeling of being overwhelmed in menopause. Rather than blindly reacting, it was time to respond to the challenges I was facing and give this a go. I prepared my comfy nest and connected to the other side of the World from London where Amanda Jane lead me and other women softly into our journeys. It wasn’t long before I had found my rhythm, mesmerising music danced in an out of my conscience, whilst Amanda Jane’s guidance was beautifully paced. Wow! My body was paying attention with a sensation of calm and connection. The inner peace and wellbeing my body felt measured how wonderful this session was and a sense of personal transformation. I can see now why this practice is praised as a tool to relieve mental, physical, and emotional tension. So much so that I want to do this again! ”

    ~ Carol M, London, UK

  • “Amanda created such a safe and welcoming environment. It was beautiful and I could see she had put a lot of thought into getting the room just right. Her energy was so safe and nurturing. I have been a smoker for many years and since the session with Amanda I have had 1 cigarette (normally 10-15+ a day) I felt she was able to help me make a major breakthrough. I felt safe and I feel she has an incredible gift as a healer.” ~ Sophia S, Cabarita, NSW Australia
