Thank you for thoughtful follow-up phone call after
I returned home from the Alive Health Resort. It
was a wonderful experience. I learned more about
health and wellness in 12 days than I have in my
whole life. Phil is very knowledgeable, and his
lectures on health were inspiring. I also enjoyed
talking to him personally during our ‘walk
and talk’ sessions. His insight, caring and
humour made me feel comfortable talking to him about
anything.
Vic’s sessions on stress were just what I
needed at this stage of my life. With his help,
I was able to work through some baggage I had carried
with me since my early teens. Within 7 days of being
at the Resort, I had explored my own stress, and
found a sense of self I had somehow lost. I was
also able to discontinue the antidepressants I had
been taking for 3 years. The level of energy I experienced
during the second week was amazing, and a dramatic
contrast to how I felt when I first arrived.
The meals at the Resort were outstanding. I didn’t
restrict my food intake (other than a 3-day fast),
and still lost weight! Eating 3 healthy meals a
day enabled me to get control of my eating disorder,
and my cravings for fatty foods and refined carbs
disappeared. Eileen and her staff provided first
class meals and service. Each meal was a taste sensation.
Since I have been home, I am maintaining much of
the “Alive” lifestyle, and my husband
and daughter have been very supportive. I have a
renewed interest in preparing meals, and we all
eat a much healthier diet. Our consumption of fruit,
vegetables and whole grains has increased dramatically.
My husband and I walk at least once a day for 45
minutes. In addition, I have energy to go to the
YMCA, 3 times per week. When I am stressed, I work
at processing my emotions, using the techniques
I learned. I now know that bottling them up affects
my health.
I am grateful to everyone at the Alive Health Resort
for showing me the way to a healthier life. I arrived
at the Resort with a heavy heart, feeling fear,
anger and sadness. I left with the wound in my heart
healed, feeling joy and excitement for the first
time in years. The Alive Health Resort helped me
feel alive again. Thanks to you all!
