1.  Standard Colon Hydrotherapy (Colonic) Session 45 min $100 

Colonics are designed for cleansing colon from mucoid plaque, parasites, Candida and other impurities, as well as for helping to reshape colon and to tone the colon muscles. During the procedure temperature controlled purified water is gently introduced into the colon through the rectum. Implants of electrolytes and organic chlorophyll, electrolyte drink, and an abdominal massage are included. Colonics are usually followed by sensation of feeling lighter, clean and energized, and sometimes by 1 to 3 lb less on the scale.   In 1917 in Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) Dr. Kellog wrote that out of over forty thousand clients with gastrointestinal disease, he had to use surgery in only twenty.   Using bowel cleansing, exercise and diet he was able to help the rest.


2.  Additional Coffee Implant $20 

 Specially prepared de-acidified organic coffee that assists the liver/gallbladder detox during a colonic session. It became a standard procedure in helping people with cancer recover. According to dr. Gerson’s case studies, such fast killing cancers as pancreatic, lung, ovarian and children melanoma were reversed with help of coffee enemas. Coffee contains enzymes known as Palmitates that help liver carry away the toxins in bile acid. Palmitates in coffee increase the production of powerful free-radical-quenching enzymes Glutathione S-transferases (GST) by 700 times. These assist your liver to more effectively detoxify your entire body. The caffeine in the coffee stimulates peristaltic activity and dilates the bile ducts allowing toxins to be flushed through the gastro-intestinal tract.

The Bowen Technique consists of a number of gentle movements over a client’s muscles, bones and connective tissues at the precise location without sliding  on the skin, first in their natural direction, and then in the opposite direction.  This stimulates nervous system at the exact points requiring attention and makes surrounding fascia more fluid. As a result blood and lymph circulation at the site of injury increases, and healing accelerates.  Bowen, the author of the technique compared it with guitar tuning, since the harmonious vibrations, created by this technique, rebalance body and can release blocked emotional energy.

 8.  Low Laser Therapy (Phototherapy) 1 h $90  

Laser light can be very helpful for insomnia, pain relief, stress reduction, as well as it is used to improve lymph circulation and enhance immune system. According to published evidence, LT is at least equal to surgical and manual therapies for a range of pathologies including neck pain, tendonitis, tendonosis, and osteoarthritis. It is also used for nerve and other tissue regeneration, soft tissue injuries, scars, chronic pain, especially temporomandibular-related pain, and wound healing.

How laser light works: it donates photons to the cells and stimulates production of ATP (energy of cells), important for growth and regeneration of the cell, pretty much like sun rays stimulate plants to produce energy for growing big and juicy fruit. Laser Light also activates glands to produce hormones, acts positively on adrenals, and clears cellular memory, created as a result of stress and tension in the body. Tension traps energy and prevents its free flow through the body, which leads to rapid aging and disease. Everybody knows about connection between stress and stomach ulcers. Tension and trapped inside energy can also adversely influence liver and pancreas, and other organs.

Our Fresh Start Natural Facial is designed along the principles of holistic health to not only enhance your face and your presentation of yourself, but also to heighten and assist your cleanse during your retreat. The skin is the largest organ of elimination in the body, and our facial treatment will help in the detoxification process.

Do you know the feeling, the sense we get when someone says "milk and honey"? Well, it's that same sense, that same feeling that you'll get from our facials. Using fresh, natural ingredients, your treatment will be designed to meet your specific skin care needs, such as the banana honey mask for dry, sun damaged, or sensitive skin. Herbal infusions will sooth and nourish. Your skin will be cleansed and moisturized - it'll feel like new. But, it's not all work - all the while your skin is being cared for, you will be nurtured under the warm steam towels and the gentle massage throughout the treatment. You will emerge feeling relaxed and renewed.


14.  Fresh Start Natural Facial with exfoliation 1h ¼ h  $95 

This facial features the additional step of the deeper cleansing that exfoliation can bring as the technique works to slough off dead skin cells, brightening the complexion even further, and helping to rid the body of toxic debris.

 

Body Scrubs and Wraps

Scrubs and wraps are considered by many to be essential treatments during a cleansing program. As the skin is the largest organ of elimination in the body, it also needs special attention in order to help move toxins out of the body.


15.  Salt Glow Body Scrub 45 min $70 

During our Salt Glow treatment, we use natural ingredients to gently massage and exfoliate the skin over most of your body. This will remove any accumulated dead skin cells and toxins on the surface, and promote further detoxification as circulation is increased. When you shower off, your skin will be tingling and feel silky smooth. Besides leaving you feeling just plain wonderful, Salt Glow will enhance the results you will achieve from your cleanse.


16.  Kelp Body Wrap 45 min $70 

Seaweeds have a long history of being used in skincare and body wraps due to the wonderful results that they give. Kelp has a high vitamin and mineral content, anti-oxidants and regenerating nutrients as well as trace elements that are hard to find elsewhere, so when it is applied, it nourishes the skin and, indeed, the entire body, as these nutrients are absorbed. At the same time, it is a powerful detoxifier, drawing impurities from the body. Kelp is also known for toning the skin. During our Kelp Body Wrap, a kelp poultice will be smoothed over most of your body, and then you will be wrapped in warmth to help penetrate the nutrients and draw out the toxins at the same time.

Caution: Please note that seaweeds are known to be particularly stimulating to the kidney system and the thyroid. Anyone with kidney, or kidney system issues, or anyone taking thyroid medications is advised to request our Herbal Body Wrap instead in order to avoid overstimulation of already sensitive systems.

 

17.  Herbal Body Wrap 45 min $70 

Herbal poultices and body wraps have just as long a history of use as do seaweeds. In fact, herbal wraps have been used for treating wounds, bruises, sore muscles, sprains, and various skin conditions for centuries, as well as for detoxification and beauty treatments. In our Herbal Body Wrap, you will be wrapped in hot towels that have been soaked in an herbal infusion. As you relax in warmth, your skin will be soothed and nourished, muscles will be eased, and toxins will be drawn from your body - an all over enhancement to your cleansing experience.

 

18.  Head, Hair and Scalp Treatment 30 min $50 

Besides being just utterly relaxing, our HH&S treatment is another important way to enhance cleansing the body. All too often the scalp and hair are forgotten when we think about moving toxins out of the body, yet as we know if we have ever experienced dandruff, dead skin cells accumulate in this area frequently. The head is also an area of the body where many of us hold a great deal of tension in the muscles that criss-cross the skull. In this session, as your head is being gently massaged to help relieve the tension in these muscles, a treatment oil designed to loosen and remove deposits on the scalp is applied. This oil also helps to remove sticky buildup on the hair while it conditions and strengthens the hair, and moisturizes the scalp. It's the best of both worlds - relaxing and cleansing at the same time.


19.  HH&S Treatment with Jin Shin Do® Neck & Shoulder Release 1 h $90 

This may just be the ultimate session you have ever experienced. First you will receive our traditional Head, Hair and Scalp Treatment. Following that you will be treated to a half hour Jin Shin Do® Acupressure session that focuses on releasing the muscles of the neck and shoulder area to a very deeply felt level. Combining these two sessions will not only allow a deep sense of relaxation, but it will also help to increase circulation, particularly in this area of the body, thus allowing for a better outflow of toxins during your cleanse. The acupressure work will also help to bring the energy flow of the body into balance. All in all, this is a truly renewing experience; you may just want to come back again!
