About Robyn

28-31 March 2025

 

Forget the hustle, forget the noise - this is your time to kick off your shoes (literally, the sand is right there), connect with like-minded skin pros, immerse yourself in hands-on learning, and head home feeling rejuvenated and inspired.

Set on the breathtaking subtropical acreage of One Mile Beach in Port Stephens, NSW, the SkinsideOut Getaway is an unforgettable blend of self-care, relaxation, and education - with a few surprises along the way!

Picture this: wandering through lush greenery with a morning coffee in hand, strolling down to the most pristine beach you’ve ever seen to
watch the waves effortlessly roll in.

This isn’t just another industry retreat; it’s a nature-packed, feel-good, skills-sharpening getaway designed to leave you glowing inside and out.

 

          Think cosy camp vibes 

 

We’re talking summer camp for grownups vibes (but in Autumn), minus the questionable dining hall food and bunk beds. You’ll be sharing a comfortable cabin with other fabulous humans, each with your own double bed (no need to fight over the top bunk), a shared bathroom, and cozy lounge spaces for those heart-to-hearts that only happen when you’re wrapped in a blanket with snacks.

Expect the perfect mix of cozy and communal, with the perfect amount of privacy to sneak off for a quiet moment with your thoughts (or that mystery novel you’ve been trying to finish for the past year). And yes, your cabin will be stocked with treats and bubbles because, well…we love a little extra sparkle in life!

Nature’s your backdrop - imagine morning yoga with birdsong as your soundtrack, and evenings spent by the billabong, spotting the occasional kangaroo or turtle (wildlife spotting is basically mandatory here).

It's relaxed, it's beautiful and it's exactly where you need to be! 

 

What You Won’t Find At This Getaway

 This is NOT your standard hotel conference, no way! You won’t find stuffy lectures under flourescent lights, endless PowerPoints, or awkward small talk over instant coffee.
And there’s definitely no White Lotus energy attendants bringing you cucumber water on a silver platter (although we do have some pretty awesome massages and facials on offer, just sayin’).

The Skinside Out Getaway is about nurturing real connections - the kind that happens when you’re sharing a cabin, swapping stories, and laughing over a shared bowl of snacks. You won’t be tucked away in your room pretending to check your emails. Instead, you’ll be bonding with fellow skin therapists who get it - your passion, your challenges, and your need for a serious time-out from the daily salon grind.

Expect Education That Actually Resonates 

 

At the Skinside Out Getaway, we believe in education that feels real - the kind that ignites your spark and gets you excited to head back to your treatment room. No boring theory sessions, just relatable, interactive, practical workshops designed to level up your skin skills while keeping you engaged and energised. Here’s what’s coming your way:

The Skin Consultation Process

Spoiler alert: Robyn’s going to spill ALL her secrets. Learn how to create skin consultations that go deeper than

“How’s your skin feeling today?” You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to dig into your clients’ skin history,

habits, and lifestyle to create treatments that really work.

Robyn will teach you her full consultation process that’s real, relatable, (and converts like a dream)

and is 100% ready for action in your own treatment room.

Goal-Setting For An Amazing Career

Got big dreams? (Of course, you do!) Whether you've lost your spark, have hit a wall or just want figure out how to work less and live more, THIS session is for you.

Robyn’s going to help you map out your bright future with her proven goal-setting strategies that’s both inspiring and totally achievable. No pie-in-the-sky, woo woo nonsense, just tangible steps toward making your dream career happen. 

 

Each workshop is a conversation, not a lecture. It’s your chance to ask Robyn all the questions on your notes app, swap treatment room stories with your new esty besties, build connections and leave with skills and strategies you can start using the very second you step foot back in your treatment room.  

Relax, Recharge, and Rejuvenate

Yes, we’re all about learning, but we’re also BIG on recharging, restoration and relaxation and this retreat gives you plenty of time to relax and enjoy your surroundings.

Between workshops, you’ll have space to breathe, recharge, and take in the stunning natural surroundings. Take a slow walk along the beach (600 meters away, if you need another excuse to pack that cute swimsuit), nap in the sun (with you SPF f course!), or just curl up with a cup of tea and a book under the trees.

And because we know you love a good pamper session:

 

Treat yourself to a little skin love from Robyn’s hand-picked team, offering facials and massages

 

Stretch it out and breathe deeply with morning yoga and sunset sound healing.

 

Sweat it out like a pro with on-site sauna sessions
