About Our Founder

Alexis Hannagan

Hi Beautiful, I am The Founder of The Sanctuary, a boutique wellness retreat in Sydney that allows women to become who they are destined to be. I help you uncover your purpose, dive into your inner essence, and make a ripple in this world. My calling became clear 15 years ago, I left my western life and spent months in India awakening through Kundalini Yoga. And since qualified in Advanced Kundalini Yoga. Over years of study I’ve also qualified in Kinesiology, NLP, Mind Detox Therapy, Parts Work, Project Management, Hatha Yoga, The Oneness University and Reiki.

I also spent years living, teaching & studying in diverse places like Iran, Indonesia, India, Canada, Europe, Australia, America, Sri Lanka. Imagine this – trekking Mount Everest not once, but twice, taking pilgrimage to India’s sacred Kumbh Mela & teaching village children in South India.These sacred experiences have shaped my teaching & coaching style, one filled with compassion and authenticity, as I became a world citizen. I have helped thousands of women globally ignite their innate power and channel this life force into healing, creativity, vision and purpose.

And mixed with past corporate experience from the head offices of Coca-Cola & RSA in London after receiving a degree in Commerce & Marketing, I offer Radiant Business Coaching, Online Programs and Global Retreats. My life is dedicated to helping your soul finally blossom and thus naturally impact others, and I would be honoured to guide your way on.

I had a strong nudge to go to Alexis’s event and I’m so very grateful that I did. She very capably and lovingly led us through breathwork and kundalini yoga poses. The work we did was so simple yet powerful. When I tuned into my body afterwards, I felt a palpable shift in how I felt (my chakras felt clearer and therefore this cleared up my digestive system which I was having an issue with on the day).Alexis’s humility despite having worked with great teachers was beautiful. She welcomed everyone with an open heart too.The space itself is cosy and has everything you might need to run a self contained event.

Such a beautiful experience spending a day the the sanctuary. Beautiful location. Felt so nice being in the space. Everyone was so supportive and great time really connecting. First time having an ice bath, loved it. I recommend giving it a try and definitely will be back. Lovely to meet Alexi and her family.

I booked 2 nights at The Sanctuary after feeling like life was getting on top of me and I had nowhere to turn. I was seeking peace and clarity about who I am and where I want to go.I met Alexis and we connected so well! She guided me through my emotions and supported me with everything. She introduced me to new techniques and outlooks that changed the way I think forever. She also had a little treat bag for me ready that had some beautiful journals and resources.The retreat itself is a beautiful quaint place that has everything you could ever need. The resources are so lovely and the garden is the perfect place to read and relax. I also got an Uber to the boathouse (10 minutes away) and hired a Kayak for just $30. I would highly recommend doing this! The scenery was beautiful and it was so peaceful kayaking along the river.I would recommend the sanctuary to everyone and will definitely return. A massive thank you to Alexis who I still keep in contact with🩷

The Sanctuary Women's Retreat was a lovely, relaxing experience with a nurturing spirit. I felt my mind free and emotions released. The ice bath was incredible and invigorating. The beautiful vegan food added to the enjoyment of the weekend with lovely people, managed with love and spirit. The beautiful environment, powerful meditations with Alexis, and the delightful sauna and massage session were exceptional highlights. Highly recommended for self-discovery and rejuvenation. Can't wait to return! Thank you Alexis and your team!!!❤️

We have just returned from a fabulous weekend at the Sanctuary, from the moment we arrived Alexis, our wonderful host, had us breathing deep and meditating to get us in the zone, once we stepped in our cosy comfy accommodation we felt instantly relaxed and at peace surrounded by the serenity of natural bushland..The hot saunas were plentiful and the area boasts wonderful eating places down by the river..I fully recommend this quaint little retreat if u need a quick regeneration for your mind body and soul...

I highly rate this retreat. Being in nature and having access to healing programs is next level. Alexis has a wonderful peaceful presence around her which is contagious in the best way. I really have enjoyed my time here and I’m leaving this trip a new person. I highly recommend the wellness retreat, the rebirth massage and a counselling session for anyone seeking inner healing. There’s lots to do to keep you present and search within. The sanctuary is private and I felt I had lots of space to myself. Thank you Alexis

Alexis is a soulful woman keen to her share her time, expertise and profound knowledge of mind, body, spirit and heart alignment. Every section of the 2- day retreat was well thought out and overlaid perfectly to create intense transformational shifts. The venue, vegan meals, surroundings, the Sanctuary Australia team, activities, weather and variety of modalities all came together to create the magical weekend. I experienced a rebirth and look forward to a stress free future. Thank you Alexis and team. I highly recommend the retreat. Whether you are local or international, you will not regret! Truly it is unlike any other retreat.

Alexis Hannagan’s Sanctuary Retreat was a true delight, from the blissful women’s circles to the exhilarating ice baths whilst overlooking an abundance of nature and wildlife we all connected in support of each other. Alexis has a beautiful divine feminine energy that embraces everything and judges nothing. My experience there was one I’ll always remember with gratitude and authenticity. 🤍🙌🏻✨ Thank you x
