Testimonials

I met an amazing bunch of ladies, people from a vast variety of backgrounds who I normally wouldn’t. I learnt soooo much, the education was very useful and I am so happy I am now knowledgeable in this area. You have opened my eyes to a world of amazing nutrition and utmost love – My life has been changed and I cannot wait to get home. I came to lose weight and now my mind is, never diet, just make good nutritious food choices!

This is the first time I’ve tried going on a health retreat, and I admit that I was a little nervous about it at first. But after the first night, and then slowly as the course progressed, I was reassured that I was undertaking this retreat in a relaxed, restful, nurturing and very supportive environment. I’m so delighted to have met such wonderful people with such beautiful personalities – both retreat support crew and fellow retreatees – what a blessing! Leisa, you have been (and are) such an amazing leader throughout this experience, a fun, talented and very caring person – a beautiful soul – thank you for guiding us through this retreat. And Ange, your yoga classes were enlightening and a wonderful experience. What you’re doing Leisa, what you’ve made into your life’s mission, is so important to us all, not only is it life changing, it is life saving. And the sooner we all realise, the better the quality and enjoyment of life we can all live.

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!

Oh Bali, how I love you! What a magical, spellbinding place to run a retreat! Villa Gaia is such a beautiful setting, overlooking the lush green rice fields – and the staff there are just the most kind, generous and hard-working people! We had a huge group for this March 2012 Retreat – the first one of the year and a booked out event! We were privileged to have Julie Dickson and Lucas Scheffel there to film the retreat for their TV pilot of ReTreat Me – I can’t wait to see the footage!

 

This is my third experience at Leisa’s retreats, and once again I am leaving with more knowledge, information and sense of peace. My intention to create the abundance I need to keep inspiring others will be my mantra when I return home. You are an earth angel Leisa and I give thanks for you being in my life. I will be promoting your retreats to my customers and friends.

The fact I’ve attended six of Leisa’s retreats, speaks for itself… Her combination of astounding health wisdom, along with the amazing locations and divine raw foods, makes it an experience everyone should indulge in. You undergo a total detox of mind, body and spirit and come back into your life and the world with renewed energy, clarity and enthusiasm. Thank you Leisa – you’re an ANGEL!!!

The juice fasting was fabulous. Bali is a great place to do it! Great people – thanks so much for organising this retreat!

This was my first time doing an Embracing Life! Retreat and also my first time in Bali, and I knew this was the right place to go and ‘Embrace Life!’. I’d read the testimonials, that this retreat was life-changing for people, and I didn’t believe it, so had to see it for myself. WOW, no doubt it was exactly that, life-changing for me. I met amazing people along with Leisa being one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever met. Her retreat is worth every dollar spent. I got exactly what I needed from this experience and more. I learnt to just be me again and I’m thankful for that! Shanti xxxx

As my first trip to Bali, it was amazing and a total escape from my everyday life. The Embracing Life! Retreat gave me the opportunity to learn about improving the way I live my life. What I take home and use in everyday life remains to be seen, but it has definitely given me the tools to start my new journey. Thank you for a wonderful week!

The Embracing Life! Retreat is one I would definitely recommend for anyone chasing health issues. It is a fast track to getting your mind, body and soul in balance. The five day juice fast helped kick-start my digestive system into many great health benefits for my body, including losing 4kg. I still felt amazing during the detox, I didn’t get sick at all. This retreat is suitable for anyone, of any age, and from all walks of life. Thank you Leisa and team, it was a pleasure.

The Embracing Life! Retreat was the most profound and life-changing experience. I met the most wonderful people and made life-changing discoveries and decisions that can only make me grateful! Leisa and her staff, Ange & Julie, are so experienced and full of knowledge and friendship. Julie prepares the most amazing food and Ange is simply a bundle of love, joy and humour. Leisa is so warm and caring, and there is simply no way for you to not make huge discoveries about yourself, your health, and the universe, unless you choose not to… Thank you to ALL who attended my retreat – I will never forget this.
