Where and when will the Retreats be held?

VIP guests will have first selection of dates. We will contact you soon to learn of your desired dates and special needs.

We will have from 2 to a maximum of 5 guests at one time. The downstairs guest suite is a large room with a double bed and sofa on the courtyard side of the home. The upstairs VIP suite has a queen bed with spectacular views of the river canyon. Both rooms have private ensuite bathrooms with tub/shower. We can accommodate one additional person in our "sunroom". Please inquire.

NUTRITIONAL BALANCING

Is nutritional balancing just another diet plan?

No. Nutritional balancing is a full healing program based on your particular mineral profile. In addition to healthy food selected for your oxidation type, the program includes supplements (selected based on your particular requirements), and several recommended detoxification and re-mineralizing therapies all designed to bring your body into balance.

What kind of food is part of the nutritional balancing program?

Each food plan is tailored specifically to your oxidation type, but all plans include a focus on cooked vegetables, eating whole, organic healthy foods which include raw dairy, grass-fed meats and other proteins, healthy fats and oils and some starches. The food plan is discussed at length in the Maximize Your Vitality guide.

Is this Chelation Therapy?

Other systems may prescribe chelation therapy as a means to rapidly remove toxins from the body. But that approach often reduces the body's vitality level, while not addressing the underlying cause for the toxic imbalance. Nutritional balancing, on the other hand, rests the sympathetic nervous system to allow deep healing to occur and strengthen organ elimination. This allows the body to "clean house" on its own, which is a much gentler, more natural and complete approach to detoxification.

Nutritional balancing helps to safely, comfortably and inexpensively eliminate toxic minerals and chemicals from your body that are impairing your vitality.

Nutritional balancing provides slow and deep detoxification using several therapies working together.

Is this Replacement Therapy?

Other systems may read blood serum or tissue tests and recommend supplements for minerals with low levels. However, a more effective method is to understand the underlying cause of the low level. For example, a deficiency in one mineral may actually be caused by a high level of a bio-unavailable antagonist mineral. Thus, these two or more minerals must be brought into balance together. Simply supplementing to add more of one will not achieve the desired results. Nutritional balancing allows the body to replenish nutrient minerals naturally.

Why not use a Blood Test? 

Subtle stress is not usually apparent in the blood because the blood is buffered. This means that chemical imbalances are moderated and altered in the blood — blood is maintained at the expense of the tissues. So while blood may be kept in balance, the tissues may suffer. The blood is the last to know. This is a key reason why we use hair tissue testing instead of blood testing.

HALF-DAY RETREAT AND CONSCIOUS BREATHING SESSIONS

Where and when will the Conscious Breathing sessions be held?

We will hold two or three session in late fall at Canyon Rim on the Deschutes River near Bend, Oregon. Dates will be coordinated with attendees to be sure that everyone is able to find a date to attend.
