Project Description
Tanya, ON, Canada
“It is absolutely life-changing. I think I read that before I came. I listened to other people’s testimonies every day, and I knew when I found the place, I was onto something, but I had no idea, I couldn’t see how it would possibly have brought me out of that low. And I feel great.”

| Life Stresses. I was broken. I had gone through death, so I had lost, my mother. I had decided to sell my business, because she was in my business with me day to day. And my kids are at the age when they don't need me anymore. So I felt like I had no purpose. I felt like the important things in my life were gone. They’ve been taken away, and I couldn't find my footings. I didn't know what to do next, what jobs to look at doing, go back to school or not, but I didn't have the energy to do that or the will, or want or inspiration to do any of that. So, it was a day-to-day grind. I wasn't wanting my life to end, but I wasn't living. I just was getting through each day with no purpose. | I certainly got my confidence, to even be doing this video. I would've said no to doing it, had I been asked before. I certainly wouldn't have volunteered like I did this time. Partly, because I feel that much better about myself. I also wanna be part of this. This was an amazing experience that I will share with everyone I know. It wasn't immediate, and it had its process. Around the second week, I was starting to feel a little bit low again, but talking to other people that are here for their reasons, helped me grow and realize, okay, breathe through it and we'll get, get through that. Every single person, even the staff in the kitchen, the even the hotel staff, everyone has just been so profoundly encouraging and, I learned from every single person. It gave me some confidence. |
| Grief over mother’s death: it was my first time flying alone, changing planes, so I did that and it was excited, but I still was insecure and broken and unmotivated. There was nothing come good coming from where I was. It was impacting my family, my friends, and indeed myself. | I feel like there's so much still out there that I have not experienced and that I need to just get back to life. Enough grieving. It doesn't mean I forget my past or my mom, particularly, in my situation. I don't forget about them, but I need to live. |
| Shoulder Pain: my shoulder was always hurting. I was holding some pain there. With lots of therapy at home, it didn’t get better. | After my first somatic therapy, it was instantly gone. |
| Lower Back Pain | It has gotten less and less frequent. |
| Sleep Issues: Before I came, I certainly had good and bad times with sleeping, but I absolutely was up every night, sometimes five, six times a night. | Last night I was up once. I have never been up more than two since I've been here. I just slept definitely and felt rested. I got into a routine of going to bed early, using the steam bath, making things more routine not have the TV on to eat. |
| Extra Weight. I wanted to lose weight. | I'm down 10 pounds. Lost 3.5 inches off waste and hips combined. |
| I would never leave my house without make-up since I was 15 years old. I wouldn't leave my house without makeup. Ever. Ever. | I'm sitting here with zero makeup, barely brushed my hair, cause I started this morning with meditation. It doesn't matter. I guess it was a mask that I was using prior to this. This is huge. |
| Digestive Issues: I've struggled with digestion all of my life. Irregular, too regular. Whenever I was away, I would not go to the washroom, would not have bowel movements. | Digestive Issues: I've struggled with digestion all of my life. Irregular, too regular. Whenever I was away, I would not go to the washroom, would not have bowel movements. You definitely are more regular here because of some of the programs that you do. Going to the washroom was not a problem here, for the first time. The foods, the nutrition, your body is functioning better. |
| Vaping : Was a smoker years ago. With the grief, started vaping. It was a coping mechanism. | Did not plan to quit, but certainly has cut down from 10 times a day to twice, and I am quite confident that when I get home, it would bemy next [goal]. |
| Difficulty Expressing Emotions: I would take a substance or something to help me get those emotions out. | Here, publicly, I was able to, and on a couple of occasions, cry and let my feelings be out without substances or anything to help me get to that point. It was absolutely natural, and it felt okay. It felt great, actually. |
Experience Highlights:
- Eating vegan was a piece of cake here. The food was outstanding, like top-notch.
- You learn the tools and the confidence to be able to go and do that outside of the program.
- Somatic Therapy – brilliant. I still do not understand it, but it is amazing.
- Meditation – I could never master it on my own, but I have an absolute love for it. I loved it. Every time I was able to 100% meditate and felt amazing, and even physically felt amazing.
- Yoga: If I had a sore back, it would help to stretch it out.
- Health Videos: I loved every one of them. I plan to watch them again and again, and share them with the family.
- Care and support of the staff – they point out your good qualities that you know you’ve forgotten. You’ve suppressed all those feelings and you just start feeling better about yourself.
- Program Comprehensiveness. Every component of this program is what is so amazing about it. You can go to therapy for years and you can go on diets and you can go vegan and there’s all kinds of different things, but when you put them all together, it’s a miracle.
