This program teaches the benefits and positive health impacts of four distinct types of diets and how they can be used at various times in your life to promote optimum wellness. Designed for small groups of a maximum of 8 people, this provides a family atmosphere with more space for everyone to commune in the kitchen.
Before your arrival, your retreat begins with a nutrition assessment designed to help you make better decisions about diet, supplementation, and lifestyle. The nutrition assessment includes a full-colour graph with detailed explanations of your results, combined with a one-on-one teleconferenced meeting with your Holistic Nutritionist, Bianca Church, RHN, who will elaborate on your results, answer any questions you may have, and help you get one step closer to optimum wellness.
This retreat is a combination of short, in-class sessions, combined with field trips to complement the instructional content. Bianca will teach you how to use four diverse diets to promote the wellbeing of your body, mind, and spirit.
