Los huéspedes comienzan su viaje 7 días antes de su llegada a través de una serie de tareas sugeridas de alimentación, ejercicios y vida saludable, destinadas a prepararlos para su estadía en Santa Teresita. Muchos huéspedes inician su transformación de salud durante este período, ganando fuerza y perdiendo peso antes de poner un pie en la casa de Retiro.
Si bien la fisiología, el metabolismo y la salud general de cada persona son diferentes, los huéspedes deben esperar resultados. En nuestros programas de alimentación y bienestar mental y espiritual, estimularás la mente y el cuerpo a través de ejercicio sostenible y de bajo impacto mientras disfrutas de comidas saludables a base de vegetales, cereales germinados, vegetales fermentados, hierbas y frutas. Esta poderosa combinación aumenta el metabolismo, limpia el sistema, apoya la salud inmunológica y ofrece una mayor sensación de claridad mental y serenidad. Los huéspedes continúan viendo resultados al regresar a casa, y muchos han realizado cambios impactantes y duraderos en sus rutinas de ejercicio y dietas que fueron impulsados por su estadía con nosotros. Rompen hábitos arraigados durante años, como la mala elección de alimentos, la falta de ejercicio, el consumo excesivo de alimentos procesados o alcohol y drogas.
En cada uno de nuestros programas de bienestar, los mejores resultados generalmente provienen de los huéspedes que participan plenamente en el programa de 15 días, asisten a toda la programación y se mantienen en movimiento la mayor parte del día.
For those guests who are not looking to lose weight, they will still benefit from the mental clarity and a general sense of renewal that comes with our program.
Nestled in nature with no distractions, the Santa Teresita Retreat House spans 10 acres in the plains of Northern Georgia, providing the perfect setting to calm the mind, reconnect with nature, and focus on your physical, mental, and spiritual health goals during the one-week to four-week program. Located in a historic area, 10 miles from Lake Hartwell, the expansive grounds are designed to be rustic yet refined. Guests are in an isolated environment with no televisions, no cell service, and limited wifi, further aiding in mental detoxification which will also promote restful sleep.
