The Reset is not for everyone.
Read this first.

It is for the person who has been holding it all together for longer than they can remember. Who wakes up already tired. Who has tried therapy, yoga, supplements, specialists — and still can't shake the feeling that something deeper is off.

It is for the person who doesn't feel safe in their own body anymore. Whose nervous system has been running on a low hum of stress for so long they've forgotten what calm actually feels like.

It is for the person who feels disconnected — from their body, from their clarity, from the version of themselves they know is still in there somewhere.

It is not a spa weekend. It is not a Pinterest experience. It is not another thing to post about.

If the first three paragraphs sound like you — keep reading. This was built for you.

Start with the free webinar.

36 minutes. No opt-in gymnastics. I walk you through the three layers most healing approaches miss — mind, body, and energy field — and why the work I do reaches what therapy, yoga, and supplements can't.

It's the clearest way to understand how The Reset actually works before you commit to four days.

If the webinar doesn't hit something real in you, the retreat is probably not the right call. If it does — you'll know.

A return to
feeling safe in
your own body.

You've probably tried therapy, yoga, supplements, specialists — scrolling wellness content at midnight hoping something finally sticks. And you're still stuck.

People come to The Reset from different places — a loss, a burnout, a relationship that shifted, an illness, a transition they can't quite move beyond. The details vary. The feeling is the same: something has been unresolved for a while, and nothing you've tried has reached it.

The Reset isn't a holiday. It isn't a spa weekend. It's a structured four-day experience in the Otways — 90 minutes from Melbourne — that works across the three levels most retreats never touch: your mind, your body, and your energy field. You leave not just relaxed. You leave ready.

Sound healing session — The Reset Retreat

"I am stress free, no anxiety, so relaxed, more positive."

— Cam

You've tried everything.
Something is still unresolved.

You're exhausted but can't properly rest. Your body never fully switches off.

Stress and anxiety sit in your chest like a constant low hum you can't quiet.

You've done therapy, yoga, journaling — yet something deep still feels stuck.

You're high-functioning on the outside but running on fumes on the inside.

You're craving a real break from your environment — not just a holiday, something deeper.

You feel disconnected — from your body, from clarity, from the version of yourself you know is still in there.

You don't feel safe in your own body. Something low-level is always on alert, even when nothing's wrong.

You've started to feel like a stranger to yourself. You know the version of you that used to feel clear and present is still in there somewhere — you just can't reach them.

Sound of Soma was built for exactly this.

The Otways Rainforest retreat verandah

A private rainforest sanctuary, 90 minutes from Melbourne.

Most retreats leave you
relaxed. This one leaves
you changed.

  • Work only at the surface — relaxation, breathing, mindfulness

  • Leave you feeling good for a few days — then the environment recreates the pattern

  • Address the mind but miss the body — where most stress and trauma actually lives

  • Send you home with a schedule and a playlist

  • Works across all three levels — mind, body, and energy field — simultaneously

  • Uses sound frequency and somatic work to reach what talk therapy often can't

  • Removes you from the environment recreating the pattern — so real change can happen

  • Sends you home with a lasting shift — not just a good memory

"The sound baths have been life changing for me. I have ADHD and have always struggled to meditate or to really connect with myself. But thanks to Ange's incredible talents, I have finally been able to. 6 months later, it's incredible how different I feel and am as a person."

Otways rainforest greenery

Slow mornings.
Deep afternoons.
Fire-lit evenings.

You wake to birdsong in the Otways canopy. No alarm. No inbox. Just the slow return to a version of yourself you've almost forgotten.

The Reset Retreat verandah

Slow beginnings

Mornings begin slowly with nourishing food prepared fresh on-site, gentle somatic movement, and grounding practices that help the body release tension — no alarms, no rush.

Guided practices

Throughout the day we move through a blend of guided sound journeys using crystal singing bowls, somatic sessions, and guided practice sessions — including quantum emotional freedom techniques and intention-setting — held in our dedicated practice space surrounded by lush forest.

Real rest

Just as important are the pauses — time to rest on the verandah overlooking the hills, walk the property, journal by the pond, or simply be still. The alpacas occasionally join you.

Depth & connection

Evenings often include deeper sound experiences, group reflection, and connection around shared meals. On the last night, we gather around the fire circle under the stars.

You leave ready

By the end of the retreat, most people feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to themselves than they have in a long time. Not just relaxed — genuinely different.

Retreat property — rolling hills and verandah

Working at a level
most retreats never touch.

Most healing approaches work on one layer. A therapist works on the mind. A physio works on the body. A sound healer works on the energy field. The Reset works on all three — simultaneously — because that's where lasting change actually happens. Most retreats never go this deep.

Mind

Mind

Subconscious patterns, belief systems, and thought loops keeping you in old ways of being. Shadow work, mindset reprogramming, emotional processing.

Body

Body

Somatic release and fascia work that physically discharges stored stress and trauma held in the tissues — things the mind alone can't reach.

Energy Field

Energy Field

Sound and frequency healing using Tibetan and crystal singing bowls to clear the biofield, regulate the nervous system, and shift cellular resonance.

Nervous System

Education and practices that bring you out of survival states and into genuine rest — so your body can finally do what it's been trying to do all along.

Environment

Nature immersion, time away from EMFs and screens, and a completely off-grid setting that gives your system the contrast it needs to reset.

"Your most dominant frequency creates your reality. To truly heal, you have to address the mind, the body, and the energy field — together."

— Ange Monitto, Founder of Sound of Soma

The Reset Retreat location — The Otways

Deep in the

A private bush property in the Otways — just 90 minutes from Melbourne. No noise except birdsong, wind through the canopy, and the occasional alpaca.

A selection of different rooms, a private lake, an outdoor fire circle, spring-fed ponds, and a wraparound verandah overlooking rolling green hills. Everything you need — nothing you don't.

Sound Healing

Immersive daily sound bath sessions using Tibetan and crystal singing bowls to quiet the nervous system, clear the energy field, and invite deep rest. Both individual and group sessions throughout the retreat.

Somatic Release

Gentle, body-led movement practices and fascia work that help you reconnect with physical sensation and consciously release tension held deep in the tissues — releasing what the mind alone cannot reach.

Fire Ceremony

A symbolic and embodied release ritual. Let go of old identities, emotional burdens, and subconscious agreements that no longer serve you. One of the most powerful evenings of the retreat.

Three real meals a day

Made fresh on-site by a private chef, every dietary need accommodated. You don't think about food once.

Accommodation

3 nights in the Otways. Private, shared, or twin room options. Warm, cosy, and completely off-grid from your normal life.

Tools you'll actually still use in October

You drive home, and the first hard day at work will tell you the truth. You'll be ready for it. Practical, repeatable tools you'll still be using six months from now.

Feel it yourself

This is what a sound bath does
to your nervous system.

Tap the bowl. Let the resonance fully fade.

Tibetan singing bowl — click to hear

Notice how your breath slows. That is the sound doing its work.

Structured
freedom.

Each day holds a gentle rhythm — enough structure to anchor you, enough spaciousness to let you wander. There is nowhere you need to be except here.

Morning at The Reset Retreat
1

"Your nervous system finally realises there's nowhere to rush to."

You arrive at your own pace. Step out of the car and feel the shift in the air. The first evening is gentle — grounding, a soft sound immersion, an opening circle. Most people cry a little during the first sound bath. That's the body letting go of months of held-in breath.

2

"You sleep deeper than you have in a year."

Somatic practices, deep sound healing, and pattern rewiring. Things that have been held in the body start to release. You wake up and your jaw isn't clenched. You notice.

3

"Something old moves."

The day where everything changes. Immersive healing, integration practices, movement, time in nature, and the fire ceremony in the evening. This is the day most people say something in them finally released — something they'd been carrying for years. People often describe it as "a weight I didn't know I was carrying."

4

"You drive home a different person."

Integration. Reflection. A closing ceremony. Not fixed. Not a new version of you. The version of you that was underneath the exhaustion the whole time.

Lives genuinely changed.

★★★★★ Google Review

"I found Ange by pure luck and what a find! I had a near death experience in Mallorca 5 years ago which then lead into undiagnosed PTSD for over 2 years. I saw an EMDR psychologist to treat this which helped me a great deal but I just couldn't get back to feeling 100%.

On top of this a work injury which lead into constant nerve pain for over 12 months in my arm and elbow joint. My body has had so much to deal with — so much pain, stress and anxiety, sleep anxiety, which then lead into insomnia and severe sleeping issues, not to mention the mental toll which is probably the biggest.

After having Ange's treatments I am back to feeling amazing again. I actually didn't think this was even possible. I am stress free, no anxiety, so relaxed, more positive — he has switched something in my head. It was only after 2 sessions I started feeling like a weight had been lifted.

I can't thank Ange enough. I believe he has been the final piece of my jigsaw puzzle to getting me back to a better, happier, pain free, anxiety free and positive lifestyle. I will be forever grateful."

What changed:

  • PTSD resolved after 2 years
  • Chronic nerve pain gone
  • Insomnia resolved
  • Anxiety free
  • "Back to full health"

Ange Monitto

I'm Ange Monitto — a Melbourne-based sound healing practitioner with a Diploma in Sound Therapy and training in Tibetan singing bowls from India. Over the past several years I have worked with 200+ clients in private practice and group settings, specialising in stress, burnout, chronic fatigue, nervous system dysregulation, and emotional overwhelm.

My methodology comes from both rigorous training and lived experience. In my late 20s I collapsed into survival mode — severe fatigue, anxiety, heart palpitations, brain fog, and months of debilitating exhaustion that every medical test failed to explain. What I eventually understood was that stress and emotional suppression had embedded themselves physically into my body and nervous system. Standard medicine couldn't reach it. Sound healing did.

That recovery became the foundation of everything I teach. I earned my Diploma in Sound Therapy, trained with masters in India, and spent years building a practice grounded in what actually moves the needle — not surface-level relaxation, but deep, structured reset at the level of the nervous system, the body, and the energy field. This retreat is built on that body of work. You are in safe, highly qualified hands.

Jack Lawton

I'm Jack Lawton — a somatic facilitator and movement specialist with a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Psychology. My academic background in how stress physiologically reshapes the body underpins everything I bring to The Reset: an evidence-informed, body-first approach to regulation and release.

I hold certifications in Human Garage Fascial Maneuvers (a cutting-edge approach to releasing deeply held tension patterns in connective tissue), Les Mills Group Fitness Instruction, Singing Athlete Vocal Coaching, and Reiki Master. I am trained specifically in the somatic and physical dimensions of stored stress — the places most people have never been guided into, and the places where lasting change actually happens.

At The Reset, I lead the physical layers of the work: somatic movement, fascia release, and body-based practices designed to discharge what the mind alone cannot reach. My role is to help you rebuild trust in your body — gently, safely, and with genuine expertise behind every session.

"I can't take four days off work."
Read this.

This is the most common thing I hear. I hear it from people in their 40s running teams. I hear it from business owners with staff depending on them. I hear it from new parents who haven't had a full night of sleep in months.

Here's what I tell all of them:

The four days you'd spend at The Reset will give you back more focus, clarity, and energy than the next four months of grinding will. Not because I'm selling you something — because that's what actually happens when the nervous system drops out of survival for long enough to reset.

The people who show up to this retreat are not people with time on their hands. They're people who decided their body was worth four days.

If you want to talk through the logistics — taking it as annual leave, professional development, or just a straight-up four-day gap — book a 15-minute call with me. We'll figure it out together.

Someone you love wants to go.
Here's what you need to know.

We know how this works. Someone fills out the form, gets excited, then mentions it at home — and suddenly there are questions. Is it safe? Is it legit? Will it actually help? Is it really worth the money?

Here's the honest answer: the people who come to The Reset are dealing with real things. Stress that isn't going away. Exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. A quiet sense of being disconnected from themselves that they haven't been able to shake. These things affect relationships, families, and quality of life for everyone around them — not just the person experiencing them.

This retreat is four days. It's run by a qualified, highly-reviewed practitioner with hundreds of clients in Melbourne. The location is safe, the group is small, and the experience is structured. People leave changed. That's not marketing language — it's what actually happens.

The most loving thing you can do is support them in going.

If you have questions, reach out. Ange is happy to speak with you directly — just register interest below and mention it in the form.

Everything
you need to know.

Everything. All accommodation at the Otways retreat centre, all meals from morning to night, every session and practice throughout the 4 days, integration resources to take home, and ongoing support. You arrive with a bag — everything else is sorted.

This is the most common thing we hear. The four days you invest in this will give back to your work performance, focus, and energy far more than the four days you'd have spent grinding. Many people frame it as sick leave, annual leave, or a professional development investment — because that's genuinely what it is. If you'd like to talk through the logistics, reach out and we'll problem-solve it with you.

Completely okay. Most people who come to The Reset have little to no prior experience — and that often works in their favour. There's no background required. Ange meets everyone exactly where they are.

No. The work is grounded in the science of the nervous system, somatic psychology, and the measurable effects of sound frequency on the body. You don't need to believe in anything. You just need to be willing to feel. People from all backgrounds — including those who are deeply sceptical — come and have profound experiences. Your scepticism is welcome.

Yes. The retreat is designed with spaciousness in mind. Alongside the guided sessions, there will be time to rest, reflect, explore the surrounding nature, or simply enjoy quiet time for yourself.

Yes. We offer payment plans split across 2–3 instalments. Just mention it when you register interest and we'll work out something that makes it accessible. We'd rather find a way to get you there than have the investment be the thing that stops you.

Most people come alone — and they consistently say it was the best decision. You don't need to know anyone. The group is small, the environment is warm, and something about going through a shared experience together creates a kind of connection that's hard to find anywhere else.

If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't shift — yes, this is for you. You don't need any prior experience with healing, spirituality, or retreats. Most guests come having never done anything like this before. Ange creates a safe, grounded environment where you can move at your own pace. The only requirement is a willingness to show up.

Every person's experience is different. What past clients consistently describe: a significant reduction in stress and anxiety, a feeling of physical lightness and ease in the body, greater emotional clarity, improved sleep, and a sense of finally being able to breathe again. Some describe it as years of progress in four days. The most common phrase Ange hears afterward is: "I wish I'd done this sooner."

Yes — we offer two flexible options. A $700 deposit with the balance split into three instalments, or a 3-month payment plan (a small $200 plan fee applies). See the payment options section for full details. We'd rather find a way to get you there than have the cost be the reason you don't come.
