“Anger ruled me because I did not understand what was happening inside. Three weeks focused on body, mind, and spirit opened me to new practices, self-love, and a more positive lens.
Now when anger rises, I pause and ask what I am truly feeling. Often the root is sadness, worry, or fear. Naming the real emotion diffuses the fire. I can meet myself with understanding instead of rage.”
“I carried heavy guilt after losing my wife, mourning the plans we made and the moments she would miss with our grandkids. I learned to face that guilt and work with what remains. I know myself better. Rather than battling the pieces of my grief, I understand them and live alongside them. I can honor her legacy and move forward.”
“Before coming here I felt lost, like I had no place in the world. Worthless kept echoing in my head. I am leaving with real self-confidence, a sense of worth, and the feeling that I belong.
The calm environment, caring staff, and thoughtful Program Directors made it feel like a second home where healing is possible and you are truly taken care of.”
“Facing the truth of repeated, violent childhood abuse was brutal, even as a healer.
I fully processed what happened and chose not to live as a by-product of it. My nervous system settled, adrenals tested normal, energy and sleep returned.
I feel resilient again and can meet challenges without breaking.”

No. Unlike some rehabilitation and treatment centers, Fresh Start does not use circles. All emotional wellness appointments and therapies are conducted one-on-one. We do conduct a group ice-breaker on arrival as guests get to know each other. At Fresh Start, we always respect your privacy.
Most guests invest privately, as insurance rarely covers holistic retreats. Some extended plans may reimburse specific services (such as counselling or naturopathic sessions). Many participants view this as an investment in health and quality of life, offsetting years of ongoing medical and therapy costs.
Every guest receives a personalised Individual Healing Path™ in addition to the Core Program. This may include 1-on-1 counselling, body therapies, detox treatments, acupuncture, or energy balancing chosen specifically for you. Over 40 therapies and 30 organ-specific protocols are available.
That’s common. The program focuses first on stabilising your emotional wellness and nervous system. Once those are improved, secondary goals like weight loss or medication management can be addressed in future visits. Trying to tackle everything at once can overwhelm the body, so the retreat uses a prioritised, phased approach.
– Persistent low moods, excessive worrying, trauma, effects of past traumatic experiences, grief, caregiver burnout.
– Emotional eating, substance reliance (social alcohol, vaping, smoking, marijuana).
– Stress, insomnia, adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalance.
– Physical issues linked to emotional stress: digestive problems, blood pressure, nervous system regulation.
Guests often arrive with multiple concerns, and the program prioritises what can be worked on safely during your stay.
Your care is provided by a multi-disciplinary team: nurse psychotherapists, trauma-informed counsellors, naturopathic doctors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, energy practitioners, and wellness coaches. Each has years of professional experience. The program has been running successfully for over 20 years and has served more than 2,500 guests.
Fresh Start is a comprehensive healing program that combines evidence-based emotional wellness counselling, naturopathic support, energy work, and physical therapies. You’ll have structured daily routines, organic plant-based meals, and one-on-one sessions that target root causes.
Your Emotional Wellness Retreat Will Be a Life-Changing Experience
