Testimonials

I’m 13 and my mum dragged me on the retreat. And… I loved it! The people were awesome! Really kind and helpful! The accommodation was so luxury! Also we had 3 days of juice fasting and that was fabulous! And the food was amazing! A warm thanks to Cat and Bell for all their help and cooking! Leisa for a great experience, Angie for all the yoga lessons and more! Elle for the lovely facial! And Darby, although I didn’t have a massage with him, being the only male must be hard!! Thanks so much everyone! Oh and to everyone who came on it! I swear I’ve never come across a chattier group. Lots of Love Luce P.S. I think we chatted more than we detoxed

My name is Gilly, I am 56 years old and I have just completed one of the most rewarding weeks of my life. Every participant came to this retreat for a different reason, some to relax, get pampered, to eat beautiful raw vegan food, to detox or just to spend time away from the husband, kids, work and spend time alone to reflect, dream and plan. This retreat has been so well planned you have time for all of this and more and a few surprises thrown in. One of the best parts is meeting new friends and sharing our stories of life with a lot of laughter a few tears and hugs in a very supporting and caring environment. Before I came to the retreat I had been feeling that life was really not what it’s cracked up to be, I was feeling sad, grumpy, depressed and uncertain of where my life was heading, I needed ‘time-out’ my health and wellbeing is important I deserved this me time. When I first arrived, I saw myself in the huge bathroom mirrors and I didn’t like what I saw a sad, blotchy face, bloated stomach, droopy shoulders and I thought ‘Where has Gilly Gone?” Well today after a beautiful yoga session on the beach, I got out of the shower looked in the mirror and saw in my eyes what I have not seen in years – me!

Thank you so much for an uplifting, invigorating experience. The attention to detail, knowledge and quest for priority and well-being from Leisa makes everything look easy and just so simple. How clever is that? The practioners and assistants are ‘second to none’ – all the team members were amazing in their own right and their own special healings, techniques and knowledge. I will thoroughly recommend your retreats to anyone who asks – for so many health reasons!

I was totally burnt out when I came here, drinking 12 coffee’s a day. Yes I did suffer from a headache for one day while at the retreat, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying myself. I hated fruit before I came here, I even told myself that fruit makes me sick. Then ‘Wow’ the Health Conscious Chef Cat changed that the first day. I came here because with the way I was living I would be dead in ten years, if I hadn’t found Leisa’s Retreat. I know you can’t believe me yet when I say that, but you are not in my shoes. What have you got to lose by trying Leisa’s Retreats for your self? But only come if you are prepared to have a life changing exerience! For example I now have a better relationship with myself and my body / mind transformation.. Wow! I am glad it was here when I needed it so much. We are all grateful that you decided to take this path and that you love sharing with others – Thank you Leisa and Team!

Leisa and her team have put together a retreat that makes transitioning to a healthier way of living easy, and so much fun. I arrived overweight, chronically exhausted and and lacking enthusiasm for my life. Too tired to implement the changes I knew were essential to feel well, I can’t emphasise enough the value of this retreat in supporting me in this task. 8 days later, I am feeling full of energy and optimism, and excitement about my life and the plans I have for it. I’m confident I have the tools to continue on the path to optimal well being. Leisa, you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expereince, and for providing an integrated, holistic programme that is the perfect opportunity for embracing a healthier life. You have gathered around you an exceptional team of people and I feel so privileged to have been a part of this experience. I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone who wants to take their wellbeing to another level.

It is like we came to the health retreat as a dormant seed and planted in an nourishing and nurturing environement where the seed was watered to sproud and grow into a great tree.

Before spending my hard-earned cash I read every written testimonial and watched every video testimonial on Leisa’s retreats. Accordingly Leisa and her team had a lot to live up to! They were truly amazing. Every single one of her team is a wonderful and caring person with so much knowledge. Leisa goes to an incredbile amount of trouble to make sure everything is perfect. The absolutely scrumptious food at the end, uncooked by Cat was well worth the effort of the 5 days of juice detox. I thoroughly enjoyed my week with fun, like-minded people and would happily do it again.

I am a 22 year old girl who came here to quit smoking - I was going to walk away happy if this helped in any way! I have been absolutely blown away with how esaily I have done this, along with gaining so, so much knowledge about food, life and health. I am so excited for the next dates to come out for future retreats. I would recommend this to anyone and plan on bringing my friends along on many more. Last note - Cat the Chef is the most talented chef, as she has made a non- juice drinker, enjoy juice! Many thanks to Leisa and the gorgeous staff.

Leisa’s knowledge on all aspects of healing our body through detox and raw food is amazing. Leia’s own personal journey she shares is a credit to the girl she has become today. Her love and support to us all as we go on our journey is truly lovely. The mixed knowledge from all her team, Cat, Ange and Rhi who are all very willing to support us and share their advice, makes it a more pleasant expereince and has been truly amazing. This is my second retreat and I would highly recommend anyone who wants to make changes to their lifestyle believing ‘Food is our Medicine”, to come along – your body will be grateful to the changes. I have made a commitment to do this yearly detox with Leisa to give my body the love and respect it deserves. Thank you Leisa!

Having never been without food for more than a day in my life, I had no concept of what to expect. Having misread the information and expecting a 3 day juice fast, to find out on arrival it was 5 days, was confronting. However to see, day by day, the changes to my body and what I had been carrying around inside of me for all these years, was a revelation. Anytime it got tough a juice would be there to get me through, or my body would remind me why I was here. Leisa and her amazing staff, Cat the amazing Chef, Ange the angel and yoga provacateur, Rhi the sweet and generous right hand of Leisa, made the whole expereince more memorable. Eating healthy, eating well, treating my body like the sacred temple it is will not be a fad or a ‘stage I’m going through.’ These women have taught me lessons, knowledge and given me expereinces that I can feel already are becoming a part of the fabric of my being. My life will be richer, my mind and body more healthy, for having spent eight short days of my life with this beautiful, generous, amazing, group of people. Bless you and thank you.
