Yoga, Breathwork & Sound Healing Practitioner The Haven Retreats | Gold Coast, QLD

Luxury Private Drug & Alcohol Recovery Retreat

About The Haven Retreats The Haven Retreats is a brand-new luxury private drug and alcohol recovery retreat on the Gold Coast, created to offer a more personal, compassionate and highly individualised approach to recovery.

Operating with a deliberately small number of clients, The Haven combines professional therapeutic support with a private residential environment focused on recovery, wellbeing, personal growth and rebuilding life beyond addiction.

We believe recovery is about more than simply stopping substance use.

Our goal is to help individuals understand themselves, reconnect with their physical and emotional wellbeing, establish healthier routines and develop the practical tools, confidence and resilience needed to navigate everyday life and support long-term recovery.

Alongside our clinical and counselling program, we want clients to experience practices that encourage mindfulness, relaxation, self-awareness, emotional regulation and a healthier connection between mind and body.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an exceptional Yoga, Breathwork & Sound Healing Practitioner to become part of The Haven's multidisciplinary wellbeing team.

This is not a traditional studio yoga position.

You will work with a small number of residential clients within a private luxury retreat, delivering carefully considered sessions that complement each client's broader recovery program.

Depending on your qualifications and experience, sessions may incorporate:

- Yoga and mindful movement
- Guided breathwork
- Meditation and mindfulness
- Sound baths and sound healing
- Stretching and mobility
- Relaxation practices
- Grounding techniques
- Body-awareness practices
- Guided visualisation
- Morning intention and mindfulness sessions
- Evening relaxation and wind-down sessions

We are particularly interested in practitioners who can combine several modalities and create meaningful, engaging experiences rather than delivering the same class each day.

Your Role

Working alongside our counselling, wellbeing and support team, you will help clients explore healthy strategies for managing stress and supporting their overall wellbeing.

Your responsibilities may include

- Facilitating private and small-group yoga sessions appropriate to different abilities and stages of recovery.
- Delivering structured breathwork and guided breathing sessions within your professional scope and training.
- Facilitating meditation, mindfulness and relaxation sessions.
- Conducting sound baths or other appropriately qualified sound-based wellbeing practices.
- Developing morning and evening practices that encourage routine, reflection and relaxation.




- Modifying sessions to accommodate individual physical limitations and client needs.
- Creating a welcoming environment where clients can participate without judgement or pressure.
- Working collaboratively with The Haven's clinical and wellbeing team.
- Recognising when a client may not be suitable for a particular activity and escalating concerns appropriately.
- Maintaining explicit professional boundaries and strict client confidentiality.
- Contributing ideas to the ongoing development of The Haven's holistic wellbeing program.

Who We're Looking For We are looking for someone with warmth, presence and professionalism who understands that our clients may be experiencing one of the most vulnerable periods of their lives.

You may be a qualified yoga teacher, breathwork practitioner, meditation facilitator, sound practitioner or holistic wellbeing professional with training across several complementary modalities.

Ideally, you will have:

- Recognised yoga teacher training and relevant professional experience.
- Formal training relevant to any breathwork practices you intend to deliver.
- Experience facilitating meditation, mindfulness or relaxation.
- Sound healing/sound bath training or demonstrated professional experience, where applicable.
- Current First Aid and CPR.
- Appropriate professional/public liability insurance.
- An understanding of trauma-informed practice.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
- Strong professional boundaries and discretion.
- The ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary environment.

Experience working within alcohol and other drugs, mental health, trauma, rehabilitation, residential treatment or similar environments would be highly regarded but is not essential for the right practitioner.

The Person Matters

Qualifications are important, but so is the person delivering the experience.

We are looking for someone who is grounded, compassionate, non-judgemental and emotionally intelligent.

Our clients will come from different backgrounds and have different experiences with wellness practices. Some may already practise yoga and meditation; others may never have tried them before.

You need to be capable of meeting people where they are.





We are not looking for someone who will pressure clients into particular spiritual beliefs or present complementary practices as substitutes for clinical treatment.

We want a practitioner who can make these modalities accessible, practical and relevant to real life and recovery.

What We Stand For The Haven is being built around a simple principle:

Treatment should address the person, not just the substance.

We want our clients to feel respected rather than judged, supported rather than institutionalised, and actively involved in rebuilding their lives.

Our broader program will bring together professional counselling, physical wellbeing, nutrition, movement, mindfulness, recovery education and carefully selected complementary practices.

Yoga, breathwork, meditation and sound are intended to complement — not replace — appropriate medical, psychological and AOD treatment.

What We Want to Achieve

Our ambition is to establish The Haven Retreats as a highly respected private recovery service on the Gold Coast, recognised for exceptional client care, individualised treatment and a genuinely different residential recovery experience.

We are deliberately keeping our client numbers small.

This creates an opportunity for our practitioners to provide personalised experiences rather than delivering high-volume group classes.

You will also have the opportunity to join The Haven during its establishment and contribute ideas toward the development of our wellbeing program.

Flexible Engagement

We are open to discussing the right arrangement with the right practitioner.

This may include casual, part-time or contractor-based work, with sessions potentially scheduled across mornings, afternoons and evenings.

We are particularly interested in hearing from practitioners who can offer multiple complementary modalities, although we also welcome applications from exceptional specialists in one area.

There may also be opportunities for additional workshops, one-on-one sessions and special wellbeing experiences as The Haven develops.

Join The Haven

If you believe recovery should involve strengthening the whole person — physically, emotionally and practically — we would love to hear from you.
