Your Journey Back To You Starts Here

Meet Nadia,

I am Nadia Shmeissem, founder of Rise Through Coaching, a proud Australian-Lebanese Muslim woman who believes deeply in the power of connection, compassion, respect, and women supporting women.

As a lifelong educator-mentor for over 24 years of which 9 years in adult education (Trainer & Assessor) and now a coach. I have spent many years working alongside people from different backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences. I have always been passionate about creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, valued, and supported.

I love working with women from all walks of life because I believe every woman carries a unique story, strength, and journey. No matter our background or circumstances, we all experience moments where we need connection, encouragement, reflection, and a reminder of our own worth.

My work is built on respect, compassion, and creating a safe space where women can be themselves without judgement.
 

Through mindfulness practices, gratitude, self-reflection, and intentional moments of stillness, we create opportunities to reconnect with ourselves, our emotions, and the things that bring us a greater sense of peace, balance, and wellbeing.

The practices I share through my coaching sessions, workshops, and retreats are designed to support self-awareness, personal growth, and help women reconnect with their inner strengths. These experiences are created to be uplifting, meaningful, and restorative, supporting each woman’s own journey towards greater inner balance.

I believe wellbeing is not a destination we arrive at, but something we continue to nurture through the choices we make, the connections we create, and the way we care for ourselves each day.

This is not about becoming someone different.

It is about remembering who you are, recognising your worth, and creating space to reconnect with the woman you have always been.

What Makes the Inner Balance Signature Workshop Retreat Different?

The Inner Balance Signature Workshop Retreat is more than a getaway. It is a meaningful experience created from a place of genuine care, connection, and understanding of what women need in today’s busy world.

What makes this retreat unique is the combination of coaching, mindfulness, reflection, wellbeing practices, and meaningful connection, all brought together in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Unlike a retreat that focuses only on relaxation or activities, this experience encourages women to pause and explore what truly supports their wellbeing, helping them build awareness, confidence, self-worth, and practical tools they can continue using beyond the retreat.

Created by Nadia Shmeissem, a lifelong educator, mentor, and coach, this retreat is built on the belief that every woman has her own story, strengths, and journey. Women are welcomed exactly as they are, from all backgrounds and walks of life.

This retreat is not about changing who you are or following a one-size-fits-all approach. It is about creating a personalised experience where women can choose what they need most:

Quiet moments of reflection consist of;

 

  • Guided mindfulness experiences, gentle yoga, drumming, meditation - breathing practices and a few more wellbeing practices-surprises.

  • Coaching conversations a- Meaningful connection with other women and several take home useful tips and tools 

  • Supported in nature and space to simply be

  • The Inner Balance Signature Workshop Retreat brings together the power of connection, mindfulness, guided moments and self-reflection to support women in reconnecting with themselves.

It is a space to slow down, feel supported, and rediscover the balance that already exists within.

My Philosophy

I believe that meaningful change begins when women feel supported, connected, and valued.

In today's busy world, many women spend so much time caring for others that they gradually lose connection with themselves. Over time, this can affect confidence, emotional wellbeing, relationships, and the way we move through life.

Creating space for reflection, personal growth, meaningful connection, and wellbeing is not selfish. It is an important part of living a balanced and fulfilling life.

This belief sits at the heart of everything I do through mentoring, workshops, retreats, and group experiences. One of my greatest hopes is to create a ripple effect of women supporting women.

When women come together in supportive environments, share their experiences, learn from one another, and feel genuinely seen and heard, something powerful happens. Confidence grows. Perspectives expand. New possibilities emerge.

I believe that when women feel supported rather than judged, connected rather than isolated, and empowered rather than overlooked, we create stronger families, healthier relationships, stronger communities, and a more compassionate future for generations to come.
