Discovering Health Education At Sedona Wellness Retreat

By Donna Clark


When looking for guidance, inspiration and healing, Arizona has a lot to offer. More specifically, visiting a Sedona Wellness retreat can provide all this and more. For, Arizona has the only residential based educational retreat which offers juicing, cleansing, detoxing and other programs.

Unlike most spas or hotels, these retreats offer a design more in line with an upper scale bed and breakfast. While this is the case, unlike bed and breakfasts, these retreats offer a number of demonstrations, nutritional talks, educational programs and a number of therapies. In most cases, staff members will guide guests through each phase of the program answering any questions and addressing concerns on a daily basis.

While some may be looking for quiet contemplation, others are seeking to lose weight and just exploring different areas with regards to living a happy and healthy life. In either case, most of these facilities offer a comfortable, cozy and quiet atmosphere where meeting all these and other personal health goals are easily achievable. For, as there are a limited number of spots in each program, individuals also receive individualized one-on-care.

One retreat offers an advanced wellness plan which features a residential educational program that provides a cleansing and detoxification experiencing using juices, fresh fruit and vegetables along with organic gourmet meals. Lodging includes a private room and bathroom and guests are provided daily monitoring and health checks by holistic medical staff.

In addition to wellness plans, some wellness centers also offer fasting retreats which can include health and water fasts. While fasting has become a popular trend over the last several decades, it is actually an ancient and common practice among a number of different cultures. In most cases, the primary purpose is the same across the board, to create and promote positive aspects of physical, mental and spiritual health.

For the last fifty years, a number of efforts have been made to create an organized approach to facilitate a self-healing process through fasting. Most often, retreats offering this type of program guide guests through each phase of the program from an initial intake exam through follow-up visits. After which, staff remain available by way of email and telephone to answer any questions and address concerns individuals may have once returning home.

Individuals interested in visiting a health and wellness center, whether on a residential basis or otherwise can often obtain a customized plan. Most often, when desiring this type of plan, the retreat will connect the individual with a free doctor consultation to see how the retreat can best help the interested party reach personal goals during a stay. It should be noted that most all retreats require guests to be self-sufficient and reliant and if extra care is necessary, the individual is required to pay for, and obtain such help without the assistance of retreat staff.

Most of these programs offer individuals a non-toxic nutritional diet along with exercise and health programs to help balance body, mind and spirit. Longer stays often offer a great deal more in the way of cleansing and detoxification, education and nutrition, though even a day of massage, stretching, yoga and an organic gourmet meal with a side of fresh fruit and juice can do wonders in promoting a sense of better overall health and well being.
