Testimonials

What a week this one was! The first retreat of the spring 2010 season, and we were chocka-block full for this one! And what great people came along. We shared something so special this week – that there are no words to describe it. We had our resident angel Roz come along with her son Gary who has some physical challenges, which the group just embraced. I’m sure Gary was there to open our hearts wide, and having him as a part of the retreat was an experience that none of us would change, as he taught us all something. Deb was our special guest yoga instructor and we enjoyed our Kundalini Beach Yoga immensley!

Learning to ‘Listen to our Bodies’ ‘Love Ourselves’ ‘Purify the mind and body’ ‘Accept Change’

The retreat was a wonderful experience. It has totally opened my eyes to health. I thought I was pretty healthy and knew a lot about food but obviously not! Cannot believe how good raw food can taste. My body is already responding in such a short space of time. Really keen to continue on my health path. Wish I had started years ago. Thank you Leisa to your love, Knowledge and Patience. Looking forward to the 2011 retreat!

A big thank you too Leisa and the girls. This has been an eye opening and life changing experience. I have had an interest in raw food for a few years now but this week as inspired me to learn more. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

This was a very nurturing space that allowed me to let go of everyday pressures of life in a safe space. There was plenty of time to spend in your own space and not feel pressured that you needed to participate in lectures or other activities. There was plenty of ‘me’ time. The surroundings were very peaceful. Thanking you for a great experience. I will definitely be taking away a lot of new ways of living and adding them to my toolbox of life. Thanks again.

As far as everything about the Retreat went, I was happy with it. The location of the Retreat is very good, being close to the beach. I have done four Retreats – this one was well managed and well organised. I had no difficulty doing the detox and felt very little as we went through the program and after the detox.

Embracing Health has changed my life. I was a disaster waiting to happen. Many difficult and stressful events had made my life almost unbearable. In a three year period I had put my aged mother into care, cleared out her home and become her power of attorney and guardian. My adult daughter developed serious mental and physical health issues, my sister was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer and died two years later in June 2013, she was 54 years old and 18 months older than me – we were very close. My work has been increasingly stressful and was contributing to my own deteriorating health. After my sister died I started looking for a retreat because I needed healing and I found Embracing Health. I couldn’t go on retreat then but started introducing raw food to my diet. I joined the Embracing Health Membership Club and read the newsletters and blogs, my world and health improved dramatically because of Embracing Health – I also lost 15kgs in twelve months. This retreat has been all I expected and more. I feel empowered to cope with my life stresses, heal my body and work through my grief.

This is my third Embracing Health Retreat. There is a reason I keep coming back, or should I say many reasons. Firstly, the staff are always exceptional. So caring and nurturing, and always supportive. The professional assistance you get while on the juice fast is amazing. Any symptoms you may be experiencing while detoxing is being supported by a naturopath to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible during this time. The raw food chefs are always very knowledgeable and creative. The lectures are fantastic and even though I have been before, I attend every lecture and I find out something new every time. My goal is to attend this retreat every year to revitalise my body, mind and soul. XXXX for the team!

This is my second retreat and I loved this as much as the first. Trudy and the team provided a wonderful nurturing environment for us to follow our own journey to health and enlightenment. This is such an amazing positive experience, I know I’ll be back. I highly recommend this to anyone, no matter where you are in your journey.

This is my second time at Embracing Health Retreat Byron Bay. Once again I am feeling fully equipped both mentally and physically to return home. This for me is a reset button! Congratulations to all the staff on presenting an awesome retreat. It is a credit to you to have so many return guests.

On behalf of all of us here at the ‘2014 Bali Retreat’, we thank you all for your care, support, guidance and shared knowledge throughout the last ten days. Nobody’s hard work went un-noticed (especially) behind the scenes, and all your efforts are greatly appreciated. It has been an amazing, transformational life experience and the knowledge and information we have acquired has prepared us for our spiritual and physical journey towards good health, peace and inner happiness.

Love and best wishes to you all xxxxx
