Project Description
Melisha, AB, Canada
“The holistic world isn’t new to me and I’ve always found myself attracted to places and environments and programs that somehow would uplift me. When I found Fresh Start, from the outside looking, it had the components that I thought were unique and was bringing a lot of different pieces together. When I came and experienced it, it felt like this gift that I opened up and received everything that I needed. The body component, the mind, the spirit and the heart – the program really takes into consideration everything that a whole person needs to feel well and get better.”
Improvements with: Adrenal Fatigue/ Burnout, Digestive Health, Emotional Rebalancing, Hair, Skin and Nails, Sleep, Spirituality/ Connecting to the Soul, Stress Management, Weight Loss, (5 lbs.).
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Fatigue/ Adrenals, Sleep Issues and Disconnect from Oneself. When I showed up I was quite tired and not sleeping well and also was carrying some extra weight. Because I had such low energy, I wasn't really moving or exercising and my diet wasn't great. I also felt disconnected from myself. Not really having a lot of direction, knowing what I wanted to do, where I wanted to go. And I knew that was related to me not having energy. | I've lost 5 pounds. I am sleeping again 8 hours one night, 9 hours another and my energy is returning. I feel clearer in my mind and, with all the amazing bodywork from the practitioners here, just feel really grounded and I'm back in my body and in my heart. |
| Skin and Digestive Health | My skin is really soft I think steaming every day and I've also been dry brushing and the salt scrub that was offered here just so I feel like I'm glowing from the inside out but also my skin feels amazing, and just the digestion piece as well, like with all the water and all the fiber and the and the amazing food that's served here. Just yeah, body, mind, heart and soul just feels polished. |
| Living at a fast pace | For me, the biggest parts for my emotional healing, the program allowed me to slow down enough so that I wasn't moving around, I wasn't having to prepare food and take care of myself. I was being taken care of so I slowed down enough to get to listen, so the outer world was quiet and so I was able to tune into myself. Then also I felt held by the facilitators. So that allowed me to have a deeper experience. |
| Emotional Rebalancing | Stuff came up and there were just like deep exhale moments where it's like a relief of either feeling it and seeing it and letting it go, or making connections. There were so many connections made for me while I was here. |
| I had an empty cup | And the cliche saying that we cannot give from an empty cup is so very true. And when we take time to invest in ourselves and fill our cups in the ways that Fresh Start offered me, I don't feel like I'm giving from a full cup. I feel like I have overflow… I still have work to do and I need to have boundaries with how I give, but the ability to take care of myself is the ability that I can give. So having an experience where I'm honoring my body, my heart, my soul, and to know how good that made me feel, is an investment. It's a huge investment to be here. But I'm worth it. And so is everybody else who might be questioning if the investment is worth it for them. |
| Rest and immersion | You have an opportunity to fully land and be immersed in the program and the amount of rest that I was able to have really helped me. So I landed, I unpacked and it felt like home. |
Experience Highlights:
- The high quality of services. The practitioners are not just body workers, they’re healers.
- The chef is not just a chef, she/ he is fully invested in the food, you can feel the love.
- Workshops that are here help support the unfolding, the growing and the healing.
- Comprehensive nature of the program: I think there are many people doing wonderful things around the world, but there aren’t many places that are offering this sort of full service.
- Colon hydrotherapy – was surprised how it reflected that I was emotionally holding on to. And just to see like how our internal world is really interacting with the outer world and how our thoughts really manifest in our expression of life, in our physical bodies.
- Deep Healing within a short period. I could spend a thousand dollars on a retreat in Mexico, or I could go to Costa Rica and spend little bits of money here and there. But I would spend a year or more on healing myself, piecing together in different environments. I think the condensed experience here offered me that which could have taken me so much longer.
