I’m more in touch with how I’m feeling i feel like I’m going to better be able to support my person at home.

| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Caregiver burnout. For the last couple years, at home, I've been dealing with an individual who has an addiction problem. I have become really depleted and I wasn't looking after myself anymore. I hit a wall and I realized after joining a support group for people with addictions that I needed to start looking after myself and get back to my healthy ways of living. | Everybody, the staff, the other guests, just make you feel like you are so welcome. It's just like a big, big human hug coming here. I found my tribe of like-minded people. Recipes look like they're really easy to make. I think it'll be very, very easy to integrate it to minimum more into my life at home. |
| Joint rejuvenation. I had some pretty active arthritis in my hands. | I can bend my fingers without any pain and they fully bend, they don’t stop. Some my joints definitely improved. |
| Brain Fog | Clarity of my thinking improved, I don’t feel foggy. I feel very clear-minded. |
| Hair | My hair feels great, and I don't know if it's the water out here or if it's a combination of what I'm eating in the water. |
| Emotional Balancing | The services here helped me lift, lighten, bring to the surface and release some of the burdens that I've been carrying around and allowed me a safe space to to be able to speak. I have a voice! It's something I really appreciated. |
| Connection to oneself | Since I arrived, I just feel so much calmer, I feel more connected to myself. I feel more like myself. I had completely lost track of who I am, my values, my way of living, and coming here with just a reconnection to that person. |
| Sense of purpose | I wake up in the morning with a sense of purpose and I'm feeling a lot happier. |
| Weight Loss | I lost 3-4 lbs. |

- What really stands out for me here is just it’s like a sense of family. In some places I had gone to everyone was on their individual journey, we didn’t interact. Here it’s such a great sense of community and a group. It’s not like you’re forced into it it’s just a naturally occurring thing that I think is brought on by the type of family-orientated energy that all the staff bring. You just feel like you’re part of a community, a family, where you’re looking after one another and sharing in your experiences.
