Meta Ads for Retreat Facilitators & Space Holders
The Retreat Ads System
For Space Holders Done Launching on Hope
The 12-Week Coaching Container to Fill Your Retreats with Paid Ads
In 12 months — 1,000+ leads, six sold-out retreats, my 7th booked for September in Bali. I wouldn't have a retreats business without this skill. And now I want to give it to you.
You've exhausted every organic avenue. You've posted, shared, showed up on stories, sent the emails — and still watched bookings trickle in too slowly to feel safe. You've committed to a venue, paid the deposit, held the dates — and carried the weight of uncertainty in your body the entire time.
That is not your offer. It is not your gift. It is not your energy. Nobody taught you how to actually generate leads through Meta ads.
We are in a pay-to-play market. One algorithm change away from not being visible at all. Fortune favours the retreat facilitator who stops relying on organic alone.
No more boosting posts aimlessly and watching your money disappear. Gain qualified leads and a lead system that runs in the background while you rest, hold space, create.
Is this what's stopping you from truly showing up as a host — your own nervous system?
This programme isn't just about method, systems and processes. It's also about the inner work that comes with stepping into a pay-to-play market as a leader. Spending money on marketing is a nervous system shift — and we do that work together.
Woven through the container are breathwork journeys to support you in making that shift — from relying on organic out of fear, to feeling genuinely safe and confident investing in your visibility. Exchanging hours for coins in the vending machine. Building something that runs while you rest.
80% of these women found us through Meta ads. From right across Australia. Proof that the system works. ✦
Before I built a brochure. Before I even had a name for my retreat. I built an ad. I figured the biggest problem to solve wasn't the itinerary or the venue — it was getting the right people to say yes.
Most retreat education leans on organic marketing — show up daily, post constantly, nurture for months, hope the right people find you. It's the Instagram heyday playbook, and it comes with a real cost: hosts spend 10–20 hours a week on content with no guaranteed return, waiting 6–9 months to fill a single retreat.
That's why most space holders only run one to two retreats a year — and why so many are still working a job on the side while they wait for their retreat business to catch up.
I am a Meta Certified Media Buyer. I teach a different model: paid acquisition + automated nurture, so you're only getting on calls with people who are already warm and ready.
Here's how I think about it: running proper Meta ads is like putting two coins in a slot machine and getting ten coins out. You know which machine to use, you know which buttons to press, and you know exactly what you're going to get. Sponsoring a post is like putting two coins in and then having to shake the machine because nothing came out. You've spent the money — but the system wasn't built for long-term gains. It's not a method, it's throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks.
That's the real problem with boosting a post — it was never built to be a system. You get almost none of the targeting control a proper ads campaign gives you, no real retargeting, and no meaningful data on what's actually working — so there's nothing to refine and nothing to repeat. It's not built for sustainable or scalable success, because you can't measure your way to a sold-out retreat with a boosted post. It's a one-off gamble, not something you can run again for your next six retreats.
What you don't need is to spend thousands on a website, a CRM and expert advice to join them all up.
What you need is an empowered solution — where you learn the skills yourself. Together we use modern tech to build sales pages in a couple of hours, create and launch ads in the back end of Meta, and you learn the sales process first-hand before you even think about hiring a setter or closer.
This is an empowered, accountability container where we take fast and aligned action — working smarter not harder, with agility and speed to market. No hustle culture. No burnout. Just the right tools, in the right order, built live together.
By my fifth retreat, the systems were dialled in. Then my kids got sick. Then I got sick. A full week where I was barely available. I sold 80% of that retreat's spots that week, without being fully present. That's not a fluke — that's the method working exactly as designed. A system built on the right foundations doesn't need you white-knuckling it every day to produce results.
Organic marketing has a ceiling — you only have so many hours in a day. Paid acquisition doesn't. When something's working, you don't need more hustle, you just increase the input.
The retreat you've been dreaming of running — these women found it through an ad. ✦
This is the exact curriculum inside the container — three pillars, woven together, so you leave with your offer built, your ads live and your retreat launched.
Create the retreat you hold in your heart. Identify the transformation you are best equipped to create, and who needs it most.
Map the outcome for your client backwards from the transformation you want her to walk away with. Feel into who else needs to come on this journey with you — co-facilitators, support, on-the-ground help.
Get specific on who she is and her pain points. Shift beyond your existing network — this method is for the woman who is currently a stranger to you, reached through ads, not just the people already in your database.
A guided breathwork journey to clear the fear of failure, fear of visibility and fear of financial burden that has kept this retreat a dream instead of a reality. This is where she becomes the nervous-system match for what she is about to hold.
Dial into exactly who you're speaking to, what she needs and desires, and the pattern you're disrupting. Includes Canva — creating your first reel/ad creative from scratch. One niched avatar, one clear message.
Using AI and modern tools to go from ad creative to a live sales page in under an hour — fast and powerful, without the toll on your nervous system or your wallet, instead of waiting weeks on someone else to build it for you.
Building and launching your ad campaign live in the back end of Meta — budgets, targeting, going live.
A guided breathwork journey to clear the beliefs, patterns and blocks standing between you and receiving payment for your gift. If you don't receive this money, someone else will. This clears the way before any sales conversation begins.
Using automation, CRM flows, DMs, phone and email to nurture a lead from "just landed" to "ready for a real conversation." Objection handling within DM/messaging. Staying in service-is-sales, sales-is-service frequency — consistent without ever feeling pushy.
Building a sales script that carries your unique imprint — one that feels aligned and natural in your body, not recited. Includes objection handling live: staying present, learning to pause, moving her toward a full-body yes or no.
Welcome email, dietary/trauma/medical/contraindication survey for breathwork safety, onboarding call, weekly drip communication and a pre-departure WhatsApp group to build community and a safety container before travel.
How to take this exact system and repeat it as many times a year as you have capacity for, without hustle or grind. For Rani, that's six times a year — a retreat every two months. For you, it could be more or less. Rani's own hard-won wisdom, and a live look at her own ads already running for next year's retreats — proof the system runs without her white-knuckling it.
Including two deep breathwork journeys to overcome any inner blocks.
Focused on implementation and accountability — doing the do.
To do the breathwork journeys, and implement everything you've built.
A rolling 12-week small group programme combining live build-and-do calls with coursework across all 12 units — so you package your gift, build your ads machine and fill your retreat room with Rani's personal guidance and a small community of retreat facilitators doing the same work beside you.
This is not another course you buy and never finish. This is a live, accountable container. Rani holds you to the implementation. The doing is the point.
This container is equally energetics and inner work — not just strategy and systems. The outer shift requires the inner shift first.
Discovery call required — Rani works with a small group only
Rani is not a marketing strategist who learned wellness language. She is a breathwork facilitator, retreat host and solo mum — who has held space for hundreds of women in circles, containers and Bali retreats, and who taught herself Meta ads out of necessity so she could keep doing it without burning out.
She reverse-engineered the life she wanted first, and built a business that could fund it — income that didn't depend on showing up every single day, so she could actually be present with her children.
She leverages the most modern tech to her advantage — and she shows you how she built all of it in true presence, to enjoy this life fully. Working smarter not harder. No hustle culture. No burnout allowed. Speed to market through aligned action, not exhausting effort.
She blends 20 years of corporate sales, a couple of years of DIY ads training, and advanced media buyer training to teach you to run your own retreat ads rather than paying an agency $2,000+ a month.
"I built an ad before I built a brochure. Demand first, retreat second. That's what I teach — and it's why it works."
Over 100 women have joined us on retreat from right across Australia in the last 12 months — across six sold-out retreats and several local mini retreats. 80% found us through Meta ads.

Before you scroll past the investment — let's put it in perspective. Because what you get inside this container is worth considerably more than what you pay for it.
One retreat space
$2,000+
What one woman pays to attend a single retreat. You are investing the equivalent of less than one full paying retreat space — to learn the complete method that fills every retreat you ever run.
One month of agency fees
$2,000+/mo
The average cost of hiring someone to run your ads for you — per month. And they won't teach you a thing. This container teaches you to own the skill, run it yourself, and never pay that monthly retainer again.
Average media buyer course
$3,000+ USD
What a generic media buyer course starts at — in US dollars, not tailored for retreats, with no breathwork, no offer building, no sales system, no live accountability. Just theory.
At $1,497 you don't just get Meta ads training. You get:
✦ The complete Meta ads system — built live, for retreats
✦ Your retreat offer fully packaged and priced
✦ Sales page, booking funnel and lead system
✦ Discovery call framework and conversion skills — Rani closes 80% of her calls

One investment. A repeatable system. Forever.
"As long as you show up and do the work — you are guaranteed to leave this container with your ads running and your retreat offer fully created, live and ready to sell."

Your ads live
A running Meta campaign built for your specific retreat
Your offer complete
A fully packaged retreat offer with sales page and booking funnel
