Personal wellness is a necessity for persons desiring to live a healthier and more joyful life. Learn more about your skin, hair, diet, health/life style, nutrition, spiritual development and more. Why run around for weeks trying to get experts to help you. Get it all done in one weekend. Each activity takes place in a quaint, lovely, relaxing setting; and is performed by a licensed or certified person. Our Holistic Wellness Retreat is located on a mountainside near the Rocky Mt. National Park. This is not a sterile institutional spa atmosphere, but more like a casual, homey B&B. There are plenty of places for you to get away, meditate, hike, walk, relax or read. We are located about 15 to 20 minutes from the Rocky Mt. National Park

Spa

Recommended Treatment:
A therapeutic Massage by a certified massage therapist. This special massage will reduce your stress, increase blood circulation and oxygen to the blood, alleviate headaches, improve digestion, promote better sleeping patterns, and more. It's amazing how much tension is reflected in the face. (Four types of common massages to chose from.) Hot Stone Massage is only $10 more!

Alternative: Herb Body Wrap. This warm detoxing body wrap involves 27 different herbs! It includes a mini massage, and herbs suited to your needs. You will feel relaxed and fresh when you leave. Treatment is for up to 75 minutes. Additional $25 fee.

Alternative: Marine Wrap (seaweed wrap) Remove the toxins and dry skin from your body. The greatest ancient cultures of the world were aware of and utilized the therapeutic effects of herbal formulas. Passed down from generations, these ancient detoxifying herbal treatments are still available today. Your body is coated with this mixture and wrapped in a warming blanket, and you relax with subdued lighting and music for 1/2 an hour. Length is between 90 to 120 minutes, and includes a shower and moisturizer. Additional $60 fee.

Alternative: Colon Hydrotherapy: Using medically approved class II colon hydrotherapy devices, liquid is infused into the colon, which loosens materials, which are then flushed out. This type of procedure has been used for 3,000 years. It is safely done in the presense of a International Sssn. for Colon Hydrotherapy professional, who claims that some of her patients find them so relaxed that they dooze off. This aids in many ailments and gives a feeling of general wellness. Check with us for more details. Session lasts up to two hours. Additional fee of $40.

Note, additional items can be added to your visit, such as hand, nail, foot therapies, facials, body treatments and hydrotherapy. Discuss this with us prior to your visit.

Alternative: Hair Education. Massage of your scalp, followed by a hair cut and style. When you look in the mirror at your hairstyle, do you sometimes grimmace or smirk?

Nutrition

Did you know cravings are a sign of malnourishment? That stress can overwork adrenals and cause the thyroid to slow and the body to gain weight? Learn the latest research in nutrition and exercise that pertains to your needs.

Vitamins, Oils, Herbs, and Aromatherapy You will have up to 90 minutes to ask your questions, like: What is cold pressed? How do I stop chronic colds or sinus problems? What herbs have anti-aging properties? What is a natural way to ease hormonal and menopause changes? NOTE: This includes a thorough in-take and evaluation process. Tip us off to your key concern early, and she can have handouts ready for you when you arrive.

NEW: No one can get enough of Mary's help, and to meet past clients' requests, we have added the option of seeing her for an additional $1/minute. You can either reserve additional time (eg: 1 hour at $60), or you can stay and pay by the minute (length depends on whether she has other clients following you or not). This is a bargain! well below normal rates. Get all your answers in one visit. (She is available for follow up)

Why use a professional herbalist?

It is also of the utmost importance to use quality products in your therapeutic program. Many herbs and supplements are of poor quality and will be ineffective and create another stress in your life. We have personally evaluated many products on the market and will assure that you receive the highest quality products available.
