TESTIMONIAL: It Exceeded My Expectation & I Look Forward to Returning
This was my second retreat at Hawaii Naturopathic, but my first one at Kealakekua Bay. I shared time with Dr. Baylac via a personal appointment and by way of the group circle in the evenings. I developed a great respect and admiration for Dr. Baylac while spending time in her company. She is a very wise, wonderful, beautiful woman of high integrity and endurance (and she has an easy, wonderful laugh).
She also does a great job of finding well-trained staff. The yoga classes were among the best I’ve ever participated in. The massages, salt scrubs, and all other treatments were delivered by very competent, vibrant women who enjoyed sharing their knowledge and promoting optimum health for each one of us.
Prior to my first visit – 4 days (a long weekend) – at Kapoho Sanctuary, I was unfamiliar with the treatments and the raw food regimen and I was a little concerned that I may get too hungry to appreciate the treatments. My worries quickly dissolved. The wide variety of juices, smoothies, and beautiful raw food meals presented by two chefs kept us very well fed and joyfully looking forward to each meal. The treatments were very new to me yet each one was quite clear and effective. I planned to return when time and finances allowed and happily did.
What I liked best and appreciated most about the 10-Day Wellness Detox Retreat is the sense of well-being achieved by:
1) eating clean, beautifully presented meals,
2) enjoying physical activity in a beautiful environment,
3) enjoying the company of others during the evening circle in an exotic setting,
4) sleeping well in a beautiful room,
5) being supported in every way by Dr. Baylac and her staff of health professionals,
6) and sharing the experience with individuals from all walks of life.
I recommend the 10-Day Wellness Detox retreat as it exceeded my expectations. Dr. Baylac has created a wonderful detox environment and is there to support each client personally. I highly recommend anyone interested in optimal health and well-being to attend an event at Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat.
I look forward to returning for a refresher soon.

TESTIMONIAL: An Amazing Experience – Even as the Only Man
I’ve never done anything similar, so was concerned that the retreat might be too intense and be pushing a particular message. I also was concerned that the other people attending might be more advanced than me on their spiritual journeys, so might be pushing a message etc.
The idea of a raw food diet worried me, but of course the food proved to be absolutely amazing!
I have come back very refreshed and with a new understanding of myself. I lost weight, but never felt hungry, my mind and body are refreshed and I have a new attitude and understanding about myself. The food was so remarkable I have decided to modify my diet and have already changed my food shopping habits. It will be worth spending more time on preparing and planning meals just to keep the healthy, calm, de-stressed new self.
I like the combination of working with the other attendees and the free time to get to know them and have some relaxed but deep discussions with them. All the treatments were great, even though the idea of them did worry me at first. All the staff are fantastic and caring – loved Sandi. I was very worried about colonics, but Sandi made me feel sooooooo relaxed I actually enjoyed the experience.
The food is remarkable. The Doc is a great discussion leader and tackled some really difficult stuff with people in a positive, yet thought provoking manner.
It’s amazing and I recommend it!
Even though I was the only man it was great. I feel a different person.

TESTIMONIAL: The Power in Simplifying Life
The biggest change for me was how powerful it was to simplify my life so much and only focus on a few things each day for 10 days. And what that did to my mind, body, and spirit was beyond rejuvenating.
What I liked and appreciated most about the retreat was the food! The hardest part about coming back home was the busyness factor of my life and not having the ability to access or replicate Anna’s extraordinary cooking. She is the most gifted and loving chef ever and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for her care and hard work day in and day out.

TESTIMONIAL: Learned to Have a Positive Qi for the Physical Body
A lot of change has taken place for me during the retreat. In my particular situation, which is stuck connective tissues, stuck by years (20) of not drinking enough water, toxins mainly from unhealthy conscious mind. So, now learned to use internal or healthy conscious mind to have a positive Qi (energy) for a physical body.

TESTIMONIAL: A substantially quieter body, nervous system and healthy mind
I walked out of a cycle of anger and broke triggers down as my body also calmed down. I began to feel more energy throughout the retreat.
I started to feel quieter and well beyond my fight and flight syndrome. I am able to come off the feeling of it and observe my mental state. I no longer fall back into a triggered person to express past trauma.
I have days now were I cannot actively remember.
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.
I specifically appreciated that the size of the group was near ideal. The retreat space is easy and healthy.
