Detoxification & Lifestyle Medicine Retreats in Hawaii

Having gained almost 15lbs over the past six months, I was also looking to gain healthier eating and exercise habits. Through a combination of raw foods and a juice fast over ten days, I was able to lose the emotional weight I had gained and begin to lay the groundwork for new and healthier habits. The retreat was an excellent gift to myself. It was a unique opportunity to dive deep into personal issues and challenges that get easily overlooked by the distractions of our busy, stressful everyday modern lives. The time spent in deep reflection was invaluable.

My deepest pain comes from my relationship with my wife. My perfectionism, low self-esteem, need for others’ approval, and my guilt over my son, proved less painful than my dysfunctional marriage and the desire for a perfect romantic love. Here, I learned how unhealthy that relationship was, and also how unrealistic the idea of perfect romantic love is. I learned that I am all I need, that I can be alone with myself and at peace, that I don’t need another to complete me.

I didn’t know what to expect, it was very new for me, but I love new experiences so I was open for all of the occurrences, a lot of very interesting stuff and the methods, the therapy, the processes that you took your patients through – pretty amazing. Some of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had in my life was during the ten days that I was at your retreat. The water therapy was incredible, the exercises in the morning, the whole sense of it.

I walked out of a cycle of anger and broke my triggers down. I enjoy a substantially quieter body, nervous system and healthy mind. During the 10 days on this retreat and working with all the modalities, I have been given time, space and guidance to truly feel and embrace good health.
