Testimonials

I am a 21 year old, meat-eating, vodka-drinking girl. I have never even considered going raw – until going to Leisa’s retreat. I didn’t realise how much flavour, variety of dishes and amazing health benefits there are to eating raw food! Leisa and Jo’s food preparation classes were really interesting and I am surprised by how easy it all is! Plus the food prepared tastes AMAZING! After 6 days of massages, detoxing, great information, a fantastic group of people and unbelievably delicious food, I have no doubt that from now on the way I eat and my lifestyle will be different. Thank you Leisa for helping me to be a healthier, better me!!

The Embracing Life! Retreat is a truly wonderful experience, a chance to learn, heal and detox with a great like-minded group. Leisa is a marvelous host, who is incredibly knowledgeable in a holistic way. The gourmet raw food is amazing, and the recipes and (un)cooking demonstrations have given me some truly healthy and very simple, yet very tasty ideas for meals to make at home, even though I’ve been experimenting with raw for a while now.

Leisa manages to blend some of the best aspects of a luxury spa, with real healing and the result is wonderful. I will be back.

I procrastinated for ages before finally coming along – I’m so glad I did. The retreat reminded me of the power of good living and lifestyle and taught me a lot new things too. The juices were varied and interesting and the raw food absolutely delicious!

The Embracing Life! Retreat is the perfect place to learn how to heal and nurture yourself and put yourself first for a change. Here, nestled in the mountains of Uki, I was a million miles away from things that stressed me and filled my day, and small miracles started shining through.

The fasting experience was gentle on my body (to my surprise) as I have never done It before and it leaves you feeling clean and light and quite proud of yourself!! The raw food was delicious and time spent chatting over dinner, lunch & brekky was lots of fun. Most importantly for me was learning how to take better care of myself and my family – Leisa and her staff showed us how to prepare delicious, easy, healthy meals and provided lots of information to take home and digest. Thank you Leisa, Trish, Sally and Jo – I will definitely be back!

I am so grateful to have had an opportunity to relax and detox in such a supportive and beautiful environment. The structure to each day had the right balance of free time and informative group sessions. Leisa assembled a brilliant support team who looked after us all so amazingly. Leisa created such a wonderful informal atmosphere that after six days, life-long friendships have been made. I now feel equipped to begin a new phase of health. I am excited by the prospect of optimum health and energy which has come out of six days of re-education about good food – and sampling it!

The best detox I have had! It was wonderful, the people were great and Leisa, Sally, Jo and Trish are fantastic hosts. Thanks for my great time!

I am on my way to finding my life again, I have been very lost since I truly found out how my now ex-husband treated me. Unfortunately for me I believed it all. This retreat has given me the tools for a better way to live, my physical may not change too much, it is the spirituality, my being and soul which I need to transform myself, so by eating well, looking after one individual, I can accomplish this.

The retreat has got me back on track and given me direction in how I want to live my life, that is – MY LIFE. By being physically healthy I am looking forward to improved energy. They are small changes for big steps. Thank you Leisa. xxxx

Leisa creates a week-long cocoon where you can detox, heal, relax and absorb an abundance of vital information – and even more vital food! – away from the busy-ness of the outside world. A perfectly healthy way to pamper yourself.

The six day detox retreat is a wonderful personal adventure and one receives a great sense of achievement after detoxing with juice fasting and moving into the experience of eating raw live food. A feeling of clarity and purpose unfolds, on so many levels, with an eagerness to implement lasting change into one’s nutrition. It is somehow no longer in the too hard basket and is exciting and uplifting.

Thanks to Leisa and her great enthusiasm for putting together this unique opportunity.
