Testimonials

The retreat changed the way I think about food. I left with the foundations to make smarter food choices for myself and my family. A great kick-start along the path to healthier (and happier) living – thanks Leisa! Who would have thought a 5 day juice fast (feast), plus 2 days raw food (thanks Julie), great venue and awesome Ange and delightful Dorothy – could be so enlightening…and I haven’t even mentioned the massage.

Great juices and food, very relaxing and re-energising – leaving feeling great!

Dear Leisa and your gifted team. The eight days just spent with you was the best gift, I could just not have imagined. I am recently retired from corporate life – about to turn 60 – and looking forward to life’s next chapters but was unsure of which way to turn to ensure the coming years were happy and healthy ones. Your course changed that for me. I leave your retreat only 8 short days later, refreshed, engerised and with a clarity of thought not felt for years. Moreover, I feel confident that the information and resources I am taking away with me will allow this new chapter of my life to be written in the context of good health and enthusiasm. Thank you and I am looking forward to my next story with you.

“Byron Bay – and the Tallow Beach Houses – is a magical place, and the simplicity and beauty of the surroundings at the little ‘haven’ that Leisa chose for her Retreat was just perfect. I loved that I could hear the ocean from our cabin, and that during my spare time, I could bop down to the beach in less than two minutes. Whenever we had spare time, if I wasn’t lying on the beach, I was lounging in my hammock, reading Leisa’s lecture handouts and watching the bush turkeys, rabbits and magpies putter around in my backyard. It felt so calming to me; I blissed right out. And the massages….wow! The Ka-huna massage was a life-changing experience for me – who knew massages could be spiritual as well as physical? Darby and Paul were so helpful in further focusing me and helping me along in my journey to heal. I have had many massages in my lifetime; I can say without reservation that these two are exceptional at what they do. In terms of the Retreat itself, Leisa touches on everything you could think of! From the reality of going RAW, to the deeper process of getting in touch with yourself and your body, Leisa covers it all, providing many unique experiences in the process. Leisa is a master at creating an environment where each of us was able to be who we needed to be, learn what we needed to learn and simply surrender to the warmth and nurturing that she and her staff provided. I couldn’t have asked for more. I want to sincerely thank Leisa (and her exceptional team…Julie, Dorothy, Ange, Darby and Paul) for this wonderful experience. It is clear that you all love what you do, and this shows in every aspect of the Retreat. I learned so much, not only about going RAW, but about myself. It was more than I could have expected; what a wonderful surprise! Please, keep doing what you are doing!”
