I've always been interested in health, healing, nutrition and spirituality. Over the past 30+ years I've had the good fortune to work with some gifted (I think so!) health and lifestyle mentors. I learned from them as well as from trial and error, observations and my own ongoing interest and research at health centers in the USA, Costa Rica and from opening and managing a Health Retreat in the 1980's.
Health Related Bio
In the 1970's I studied the works of Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, the founder of health retreats Rancho La Puerta and the Golden Door. Edmond was a prolific author and researcher on the Essenes, ancient civilizations and natural health and healing.
In the 1980's I worked with Ann Wigmore at the Ann Wigmore Research and Educational Foundation in Boston, USA (formerly Hippocrates Health Institute) and assisted Ann with the live-in guest's health and healing goals as a teacher of the Hippocrates 'Living Foods Lifestyle Program'.
On one of two extended trips to Costa Rica in the 1980's I visited the center Edmond Szekely setup and lived and worked at a Health Retreat operated by former teachers from the Hippocrates Health Institute. The retreat recently hosted RawWorld. In the late 1980's I setup and managed the Seaside Health Retreat on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia (see brochure in sidebar). I worked with T C Fry as an intern at his 'American Wellness Retreat' in Texas, monitoring and assisted guests/residents with supervised fasting. I previously completed TC's health program known as the 'Life Science Course', a comprehensive health and nutritional raw/living foods education program. This course became the foundation for the book 'Fit For Life' by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. In the 90's I helped setup and then managed a 98 acre beach resort in Fiji (see brochure in sidebar). A plan was underway to transform the resort into a health retreat, permaculture training center and adventure destination known as 'Gaia Fiji'. The resort was later sold and became the Wellersley Resort.Need Individual Help?
