Testimonials

2008

A big thank you to the organisers for making me feel very at home. This retreat has given me such great information to take away with me to embark on such a healthier and better way of life. Not only good nutrition have I learnt, I have taken a good look at changes I also need to make in my life, with the people around me, my job and even myself. A great life changing experience for me. Thanks Leisa for being you, and I thank God I found you xxxxx

A big thank you to Leisa and ALL of her team! The wonderful and empowering information and experience has been inspiring and stimulating. Retreats like this should be a part of every busy woman’s life. I go home rested and renewed and in just 6 days the pain has gone from my hands and arms. Please come back to WA! P.S. Another thank you for making the retreat affordable so that it is within the reach of a greater number of people who need this essential understanding of a better and healthier way to live. Hopefully one day the greater numbers of people who choose to live well and care for the environment will sway the medics and politicians globally to stop leading us “up the garden path”

For me to be able to come away lighter in weight, clearer in body and soul with the tools to bring this lifestyle into my home and life is a blessing. Thank you to all the wonderful staff and to Leisa – well done for following your dream!

The wonderful knowledge and insight gained has been amazing. I wish I had this experience 30 years ago before I raised a family! What a head-start in nutrition information I would have had. Hooray for Raw! + Wow! For Superfoods.

“I’M NEVER GOING TO COOK ANOTHER MEAL AGAIN” isn’t a threat now! It’s a healthy sounding promise. I never need “slog” over the stove again! I never knew a “gourmet three course raw meal” was so delicious. I’m changing my ‘title’ from Cook to “Gourmet Fresh Food Designer”.

A well balanced, highly informative and very enjoyable retreat. I am so glad I attended and feel I received excellent value for my investment of time and money! I highly recommend this retreat, congratulations Leisa.

I liked Leisa’s presentation style / knowledge and the quantity and quality of the information given to the participants. I thought Trudy / Kate / Maggie did a great job of supporting Leisa to make the retreat so successful.

Thank you very much for the really wonderful experience I has at the Yanchep Retreat. I had a terrific time and came away with a lot of very useful information and am enthusiastic to continue the healthy habits I was introduced to during the week. I found the content of the lectures to be very interesting and the timetable well balanced. All in all, I had a bloody great time!

I loved the whole experience, the nice peaceful environment, enjoyed the views from our chalet and especially the feeling that we were the only occupants there. We kind of had everything for ourselves – you hardly saw other people there. For me a retreat like this is not about luxury but peace and quiet and a natural environment – and we had all of that! The team was great! I always felt well looked after and everyone was so knowledgeable even the “kitchen aids”. The detox program was great! You were including every little bit of our bodies. Of course I’m still on a raw diet and I’m feeling really good and energetic! I really thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, thanks for everything Leisa, it was really nice to meet you in person.

I just wanted to say, the retreat was (I cannot even find a word to tell you how I felt about it), – I did not want it to end so soon. I hope that I can get to another one. Take care of yourself and best of success in everything you do.

This was my first retreat so I had nothing to compare it to, but I have to say it was absolutely fantastic! I learned so much; not just from the lectures, but from the whole fasting / raw food, detoxing experience as well as the little tidbits of information that you gain from the group discussions and from chatting to the other “retreatees”.

Thank you Leisa for a truly wonderful week of health and knowledge. The week has been a fascinating journey. When I arrived I was full of aches and pains as well as being tired and rundown due to my hectic lifestyle. I have come from feeling like I could not get out of bed in the morning to jumping out of bed to have a jog (something I have not done for many years). Not only do I feel absolutely fantastic, I have skills and knowledge to take with me to enhance my life from here on in. I am very grateful to you and your wonderful caring team for the work, knowledge, effort and patience you have given all of us this week. Your attention to detail from the goodie bags on arrival to the hand-outs and lists of resources is truly appreciated. Thank you Leisa, Trudy, Trish and Annie.

It was great to take time out and do the six day detox program with Leisa at the Embracing Life! Retreat. It wasn’t arduous at all, as the juices were delicious and sustaining and the raw food tasty and well presented. There were many little touches that showed thought and attention to detail. I feel re-invigorated with fresh enthusiasm to incorporate the raw food style of living into my families life. I heartily recommend this program to anyone interesting true “health insurance”. Apart from not having colonics, I think the program was well rounded and complete.
