Testimonials

Byron Bay, NSW 2010

This was an incredible retreat. I think we all went deeper into the detox that I have ever seen at a retreat, and that was due to a few special factors all coming together at this particular event. We had Darby Centra, an incredible Ka-Huna massage therapist who did some amazing healing work with each of our guests. His healing hands took everyone to another level – it was that transformative. We also experienced Kundalini Yoga with HarJiwan, a breathing and chanting yoga session that was a beautiful way to start the day – and with the colonic hydrotherapy on site, and the great Embracing Life! Team – we all created something very special.

I arrived at the retreat on Sunday afternoon feeling stressed and exhausted and left feeling lighter in body, mind and spirit, rested and refreshed. Leisa’s wisdom, caring, generosity, thoughtfulness and attention to detail have made this a memorable week, far beyond my expectations. The beautiful setting, delicious juices and raw gourmet food and opportunity to spend time with a great group of like-minded people interested in health, have made this a truly remarkable week. Thank you so much Leisa.

Highly recommend Leisa’s retreat. Food is superb, detox programme is excellent, programme lectures are so informative, Leisa and her staff are so welcoming and accommodating. Meeting like-minded people and making new friends that you can help each other and exchange information is so helpful! Thanks Leisa and your team!

Leisa, Have been to many, many seminars, conferences and retreats and have been an event co-ordinator of a 4 day 250 people conference myself, I have been so impressed with your organisation, thoroughness and no stress shown. You have an excellent programme and you keep sending the message out! We are grateful for allowing us to have Rory attend. Jo, Belinda and Dorothy are an asset to your programme and team. Thanks to you all.

Leisa is such a caring and enthusiastic health practitioner who made all of us feel comfortable and important. I learned so much at the Embracing Life! Retreat and it all made so much sense. At times I’ve wondered whether detoxing really is that important since our body does it naturally anyway, but I’ve learned how important it is – not just theoretically, but from experience – from every single one of us in the group. We all healed in so many different ways. What we learned was empowering, but what we felt after the different therapies was amazing. Personally, I think the masseur had “magic” hands. It was wonderful to be with so many different people from all walks of life who were all interested in their health and supporting one another. Going to the Embracing Life! Retreat has helped me to continue my journey to better health and get encouragement from the others there.

I’m not good at writing these sorts of things, but I want to say it was a fantastic week of healing, education and fun. It reinforced my desire to continue on my journey of improving my health. Leisa was terrific, down to earth and very, very knowledgeable and helpful and supportive. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone who is interested in improving their health!

Everyone should do at least one Embracing Retreat, for me it is my 2nd and it just gets better. Leisa is a wealth of knowledge, sharing her own experiences. Retreat is very holistic in every aspect, support, love and compassion from all staff. Juices are superb, raw food so tasty and so well presented, right down to the food prep demonstrations and recipes provided. Then you receive ongoing naturopathic support from Leisa when you join the Embracing Health Membership Club on your return home. I will now be attending annually.

What an experience – absolutely amazing! Everyone should treat themselves to your retreat Leisa. I will certainly go away feeling more aware of healthy options with my diet and intend to make some changes. I’m sure attending your Embracing Life! Retreat will be a regular date on my calendar. Thank you goes to Leisa and her dedicated loyal team for an amazing retreat at Tallow Beach!

I came here feeling exhausted to the bone and had been for many months previously. Today in only six days, I feel new again, alive and fresh with a whole new bag of goodies I can take with me into my world to keep me healthier. Leisa Rocks! Thank you from my very being!!

It has been the best thing I have done. The workshops and education were fantastic also the raw food that we had was out of this world. I will definitely be incorporating raw foods into my daily life. As for Leisa –she is the most wonderful, passionate, knowledgeable person I have met. Her warmth, caring and compassion for health and wellbeing – words cannot describe. The whole experience was fantastic. I recommend everyone to experience this time with Leisa and her team

I came to Leisa’s retreat to try to get myself ‘back on track’ both physically and emotionally – and that’s exactly what I did. The integrated program covered many different aspects of lifestyle and healing, so as well as detoxing the body, we learnt and practiced how to nurture it for optimal health. We all took practical strategies away that we can incorporate into our everyday lives to improve our well-being and general quality f life. We also discovered that we are all capable of healing ourselves of virtually any disease (including cancer). I now feel confident that II can take control of my own health ( with some help along the way from Leisa) All the staff participated in the retreat with us (detox an all!) They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and caring. Thank you all. I wouldn’t have missed it for anything!
