What people say about Jiva Healing...

And here is a great testimonial from Jo Twohill who came on our recent Goa retreat: 

"This was my very first experience at juice fasting and being away on a retreat detoxing body and mind.

Well... where can I start...  Firstly, I DID IT!!!! It was the most amazing experience. Definitely to be repeated as the health benefits are just SO REWARDING!
I arrived in Goa feeling stressed from London life, tired, puffy and bloated with aching joints. By the end of the week I was the most relaxed I've been in years. Happy, as I was feeling slimmer, mentally stronger and much more energized. I had a wonderful feeling on the last session of yoga when I saw how much more mobile and free my joints were.... no aches!!

I cannot recommend this enough! It kick starts you into a wonderful new world of health and well-being. You’re fantastically looked after on the retreat, there's so much support while going through the detoxing process. You also meet wonderful new friends. ENJOY, I did!"

Having never fasted before, I arrived at Jiva Healing focused on having a bit of a holiday and thinking if I got some benefits from the fasting along the way, it would be a bonus.

The setting was wonderful and the staff were friendly and inviting. The daily nutrition and sustainability courses created a framework that really supported work that we were doing for ourselves during our week there and in the weeks following the retreat. Between the yoga classes, massage, and other therapies there were plenty of things to do and I found myself looking forward to each following day with more enthusiasm than the one before.

By the end of the week I was well and truly a changed man. From the inside out I had lost weight, and felt both mentally and physically cleaner, lighter, brighter, and more vibrant. My Chiropractor had even witnessed positive changes in my spine and nervous system as a direct result of the fast. Much of what was learned at the retreat I have taken away and integrated into my daily life. I'm now living a much more sustainable, happier, healthier, and energetic lifestyle than I would ever have thought possible before my week at Jiva Healing! I couldn't recommend a more effective way to kick-start a new outlook on nutrition, health and wellbeing that produces real, sustainable results that can last a lifetime.

I find to fast periodically to be physically liberating and mentally profound, and Jiva Healing was both experiences. Jiva Healing created a structure to the day with classes on nutrition and sustainability. This was informative and ensured that you had some rational reasons as to why you were doing the fast and offered strong routes of understanding to continue when back in the comfort of your own home and surrounded by your old habits.

It had all the aspects of an amazing holiday sun, sea, good company, some learning, laughing, relaxing, lots of sleep.just no food! I came home bounding with energy and raring to go, looking and feeling great. It is definitely worth it. A totally indulgent treat just for you.

The week in France was my third fast with Jiva Healing. The results totally met my expectations in terms of quality of environment and variety of activities (thai massage, aromatherapy, yoga, etc.) and also in terms of detoxing, both of body and mind; weight loss was an added bonus!

Each time that I have done a fast, I have managed to introduce into my everyday life at least one new 'good' habit learned from the friendly and hard-working team at Jiva Healing. The cumulative effects have been dramatic both in terms of my physical and mental well-being. I thoroughly recommend the fast programme and will be going again next year.

It was the greatest experience I have ever felt. When we made the 'Circle of Angels', so much knowingness and emotion welled up inside me, I actually expoded with tears of love. I have never felt so deep a connection with anyone of my closest family or friends before. In fact, I have not felt so deeply touched since.

I would come back to Jiva Healing. I can't wait in fact. Originally, all I wanted was to drop some fat from having my kids. I certainly am not religious, a vegetarian, or even an environmentally friendly person. Horrible as that was, now that I know better (thanks to the education from Jiva Healing), I am on a quest to live up to my own personal potential now.

Words just don't express how a person thinks, but what I want to instill is that fasting is a healer. I had never missed a meal in my life (and it showed), until I came to Jiva Healing. Oddly enough, my hunger came from excess. I was empty, and fasting made me full again.

When I left I felt like people must when they climb Mt. Everest or something. It was such an accomplishment, and so easy too. It's amazing how simple life becomes when temptation is taken away. The whole experience was incredibly well planned out, and the staff could not be more friendly and inspiring.
