How we work
Healing VS Transactional Relationships
Whilst we do have pricing at The Deep Retreat we are trying to create healing relationships here; not transactional relationships. You are coming to a space that you can call home; in an ideal scenario, you would be contributing to the extent of your capacity to look after this home. Since today we are brought up in a transactional world, a fee structure has been put in place at The Deep Retreat. Please note that this does not in anyway undermine our intention to assist your healing process.
ALL CLASSES, TREATMENTS & EXPERIENCES ARE PRE -PAID
To maintain your healing experience, all treatments require prepayment to avoid transactions before or after your treatment.
You can use a credit/debit card which will be charged at the time of booking to guarantee your booking. See cancellation policy below.
COMMUNICATION
It's important to communicate with your teacher/therapist if you have any pre-existing injuries or medical conditions which may impact upon your class/ treatment or if you experience any discomfort during treatment for any reason. Failure to clearly communicate with your teacher/therapist before, during & after your treatment can impact your experience & reimbursements are not given if you don’t communicate clearly.

Relaxed Adventurer? We have got you covered!
Many of our Clients & Yoga Students come to Tropical North Queensland for a sense of Spontaneous Discovery, not just from the beautiful, wild nature around us, but also from within. Our yoga Practices & Massage Retreat services allow this to unfold in a relaxed, easeful way whilst also allowing plenty of time to explore the Great Barrier Reef, Mossman Gorge & Four Mile Beach within the same day with no sense of rush.
We have aligned with EcoTour providers that are sensitive to our clients needs & can be discovered at www.healthyportdouglas.com
Q&A
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO HAVE A MASSAGE?
In the morning & at the beginning of your stay!
Time & time again we receive feedback from clients about how grateful they are we were available to treat them at the beginning of their stay.
Traditionally according to Ayurvedic Indian Medicine, mornings are best time to have a massage so the any movement you naturally make through walking etc will increase the benefits of massage. It also means it gives you time to go to Mossman Gorge (heaven in the afternoons) or the beach to catch some sun.
COUPLES MASSAGE
We are more than happy to accommodate couples at the same time with advanced notice.
Please note that Massage treatments are performed at the same time in separate rooms.
GOT KIDS?
We work with parents with young children all the time. We have set appointment times with 30 minute breaks between appointments which is more than enough time for parents to get back to their family after their massage so the other parent can then join us.
CONTRAINDICATIONS?
We ask all clients unsure if massage is appropriate for them to reach out to their doctor BEFORE making a booking with us. We do not provide a list of contraindications as this is best provided by your doctor. We provide a space on our online form to provide information on existing conditions which may influence your treatment. We are more than happy to customise your massage to your needs.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR PACKAGES?
Most of our guests book a Massage with our Sento Bath which extends the whole relaxation experience. Your on holidays so why not?
All our packages are discounted & are available most mornings with advanced booking.
