A letter from a guest who stayed
for our Juice Fast Retreat March 2005

Dear Rebecca,

I just want to drop you a note to tell you how much I enjoyed my fasting retreat with you. The lodge and grounds are wonderful and your staff is very helpful, caring and knowledgeable.

I wanted to say a special word about Terri, who, from the moment I first walked in the front door set a positive healing tone for my stay at your resort. Terri’s abundant, loving and giving positive energy announces to guests that one has arrived at a very special space.

It was great to meet you and I appreciate you lending me your books and for tipping me off to the use of molasses, it cleared up all the symptoms I was having and kept them away.

I am looking forward to spending more time with you in the future. I have been telling every one about the retreat and maybe I can convince a friend or two to come along with me next time.

Sincerely,
Joanne Davidson

A letter from a guest who stayed
for our Juice Fast Retreat January 2005

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you all for making my stay at the Center so great. You all truly have the gift of making people feel so welcomed and like they are special. Being at the Center was a very difficult time for me and I truly believe I made the right move in coming to the Center to begin this personal journey. I'm currently still in Florida and having a great time. You all are very gifted people and are in the right field in dealing with people.

I especially want to thank Bobby for his voice and singing to me that morning I was so low in the lobby. You all have to understand, I'm a person who does everything for everyone else. No one has ever done that for me. Know that that will always be a special moment for me. Bless you all and thank you for helping me during this transition time.

Best Wishes,

A letter from guests who stayed
during our July 4th 2004 Weekend

July 7, 2004

Dear Peggy,

My friend and I just returned home from a six day stay at your beautiful retreat center. Our entire experience far exceeded our expectations.

I am writing, primarily, to compliment your fabulous staff. Rebecca, Olivia, Heidi, Bobby, Caroline (as our massage therapist), and our Chef (Samena?...who introduced herself, but I’m afraid I may not have gotten her name correctly) were superb hosts in every way possible.

Heidi was an excellent yoga teacher…she gently and compassionately guided us through every stretch. Her caring attitude shined through.

Rebecca felt ever present and provided us with abundant answers to all of our questions. Olivia was also extremely helpful in pointing out great restaurants and gave us fabulous directions for each and every turn. Bobby went above and beyond the call of duty and was a delight to meet. Polly was a new addition during our stay and was also a delight. Caroline is an excellent massage therapist-a great testament to your massage program!

Further…the food was outstanding! Yummmmmm….I begged our chef for her recipes and selfishly encouraged her to write a recipe book. I hope I’m not leaving anyone out, as everyone was so welcoming and caring and deserves a compliment.

I don’t believe I’ve ever left a vacation feeling so satisfied…and I know for sure that I’ve never left a place hugging the staff goodbye!

So, thank you for creating such a wonderful space. I know I’ll be referring eople to the Center for Massage & Natural Health for an experience they will never forget.

Most sincerely,
FW

Quoted from a tour group client who hosted
a Mystery Tour and brought her guests to our Lodge in May 2003

"Thank you and your staff for a most wonderful stay. Your sincere hospitality was overwhelming. We have no complaints. I hope we can plan some future trips with you.

My folks are still talking about your Lodge and property. They were so impressed. They particularly commented on the friendliness of your staff and just how pleasant everything was put together and totally stress free from their perspective. Good work makes it appear that way and you certainly did your homework."

a weekend in June 2003:

"My experience of the Center for Massage was delightful and delicious. We were surrounded by bird song in the lovely woodsy setting. Places provided for prayer and meditation and rocking chairs galore. Cullinary delights provided by a talented epicurean chef. Yum yum! Tender, healing hands soothing you, body and soul. Just a wonderful, wonder-filled retreat."
