Project Description
Jeanne, BC, Canada
“The entire time that I was here was: What about you? Who’s gonna support Jeanie? And I learned that it is me who can only support me, but I wasn’t doing that. I think the first tool is just knowing that I can actually allow myself to be kind to myself and that I need to, if not for my parents and for my husband, even just for me. What I have, my brain, my body is a gift and it’s so precious.”
Improvements with: Brain Fog, Caregiver Burnout, Constipation, Digestive Health, Eating and Lifestyle Habits, Emotional Rebalancing, Fitness Routine, Sleep, Weight Loss.

| Caregiver Burnout and Self-Neglect. I'm taking care of two parents as well as a husband. And over the last three years of just taking care of others, I recognized that I wasn't taking very good care of myself, but I knew that I needed to in order for me to care for them. Like I knew that. But it's harder working full time, caring for your parents as, as well as a spouse. It can take a lot from a person, but I felt that I could just keep going. I let go of my mobility and health. I was doing such a big disservice to myself. | My nature is to care, to love and to give, but I wasn't doing that for myself. That was the biggest reminder. It literally was like a pie in my face. It just hit me, and I'm, oh, I am not doing that. And the staff, the counsellors and the therapists here continually looked right into my eyes and said, this is for you. You do this for you and for nobody else. That's all they said to me every time I saw them. And it's the same message from all of them just love yourself and care for yourself so that you can care for others. |
| Low energy/ depletion. High procrastination. No motivation. When I first came here, I was exhausted. The energy level was really more based on adrenaline. It wasn't real; it wasn’t the energy that just comes from you. | Today was actually my very best day. I woke up and felt so energized! I had this level of vitality that I hadn't felt in years. What I mean by vitality is just that natural energy and happiness, peace and calmness that I felt, like I was dancing inside. I'm dancing inside right now. |
| I was not able to eat healthfully and exercise.It was very disappointing when I did try to help myself. For example, trying to eat better with the purpose of losing weight and gaining more energy, but it wasn't working. And I wasn't feeling any better. If anything, I was feeling worse. It takes a lot of energy to count calories and to be very purposeful in what you put into your body, what you do, and what you're thinking. I came to a point where I was starting to fail in my care. And it deeply crushed me. | This five-day program gave me the tools of strength, confidence, and, just again, reminders that I choose to give myself permission to care for myself. That's what I'm walking away with here. |
| Chronic lack of sleep/ Insomnia. Usually, when I wake up, it's like that sleep was not good, and I'm still tired, but I have a full day ahead of me. I am a 7-hour sleeper, but I usually wake up every hour on the hour. Usually, when I wake up, it's like that sleep was not good, and I'm still tired, but I have a full day ahead of me. | My sleep, is transformed. I believe I have deeper sleep because when I wake up in the morning, I don't feel forced to get up and go. I say to myself was I had a good sleep and I haven't said that in a very long time. Now, for the last three days, I'm usually up around a seven, seven thirty, and the sleep has been uninterrupted. It's been wonderful. |
| Constipation One of the biggest problems I felt was my digestion. Just due to constipation. I knew I wasn't putting good things in me, but even when I was very purposeful with my diet, things weren't moving or changing, and I could really feel it. I've had this problem for a while, and it probably started after my surgery. | After the detox program here, after the first isotonic drink, I felt 10 pounds lighter. I could feel a difference physically. I am regular now in terms of my, bowel movements. It's only happened the last two days out of the five that I'm here, but I feel really confident that I'm regular. |
| I had a lot of gas and bloating. The constipation really worried me because I knew that I was holding in a lot of toxins. And when I had my blood chemicals done, my doctor said that the toxicity in my blood was extremely high, yet I'm not exposed to any chemicals or mould. | My problems with bloating were reduced after my second colonic and iso drink. I felt a difference pretty much immediately. I feel that this program vacuumed it all, and I‘ve got a nice clean inside and feel very good. |
| Brain fog – was one of the biggest issues. | Cleared up and went away |
| Back Pain. A couple of months ago, when gardening, I tweaked my back, after which I started feeling some pain, and it just stayed here. I did nothing about and just let it subside. I thought I would, maybe stretch it out. | The support and the therapy that I received here took the pain all away. It's 100 percent. That's probably another reason why I woke up really happy this morning, because I woke up feeling pain-free. |
| Mental and spiritual health. When I actually got cured, I was fixed, in terms of my bodily functions and all of my problems with my digestive system; I realized that they really do connect to your emotions and your spirit as well. So that's probably one of my biggest surprises was how much it affected me holistically. | My intention was to come here just for physical ailments, but I soon realized, actually, as soon as I got here, that there was also some repair to my spirit, as well as my mind, and that my emotions were all connected to it. |
| Low metabolism and difficulty in losing weight. | Weight loss 5 lbs. in 4 days |
Experience Highlights:
- All group activities, especially the aspect of togetherness when doing them
- There’s a lot of thoughtfulness that goes into this program, and you can tell that they had put a lot of research and investigation into the packaging of the activities, the therapies, the custom protocols, and even the length of each of the programs. And it is all timed out and you are specifically taken care of. I don’t know of any other program out there that would do that.
- Comprehensiveness of the program – the price was initially an issue for me, but there is not enough money in the world to pay for what you get here. It is very thought out, very well researched, very intentional and exactly what I was looking for.
