Olya, ON, Canada

I lost some weight and feel energized

"The biggest thing is the way it feels to be full of energy without coffee, without meat, and without dairy. It feels like nothing else! There is no better feeling… In regards to weight loss, on day 4, with all the processes I've gone through here, I felt that flat stomach effect, as if I finally deflated. It's been 6 days, and I've lost over 5 lbs."

Bianca, BC, Canada

As a young mom, I feel totally rejuvenated

" Every day is fully planned for you, you are being fed, and you don't need to take care of anything, which is really great for a mother. You're being literally taken care of 24/7. It's been a really amazing "me time". The program helped my entire body and system relax and feel better. I lost 5 lbs. and my joint health dramatically improved."

Lori and Lacey, ON, Canada

We came to enjoy some yoga and meditation, but got so much more

"It was a really good bonding moment for us…I'm sure that Hawaii is great, but this is a wholesome family fun, you are not subjected to anything that is bad for you. A normal vacation for us would be to party a little bit more. And it was nice not to do that, and just learn about ourselves and each other."

I appreciate the quality of food and supplements

"I've got to calm my nervous system down, and I definitely had a reboot on my whole digestive system. The organic vegan food is gourmet and absolutely divine. All the supplements are high-end – I am definitely familiar with some of them. All shots and concoctions were gentle and effective."
