A Focus on Behavioral Wellness

Create lifelong change from within and restore balance to your life with VeraVia’s personalized behavioral wellness plan.

Creating Lifelong Change From Within

A vital component of our wellness vacation is revitalizing and rejuvenating your spirit. That’s why we place special emphasis on incorporating the latest cutting-edge psychological and behavioral science techniques to help our guests create long-term sustainable behavioral changes.

We use group and individual sessions paired with lectures and workshops to teach the importance of renewal and balance in maintaining your health and wellness goals along with techniques to make that happen.

Our psychological team will help you improve your mindset and learn to avoid self-judgment and negative thought patterns to ensure a much smoother and natural path to weight loss and fitness goals. We use the most effective tools to help you overcome mental and emotional blocks to success, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR.

At VeraVia, you’ll achieve lasting lifestyle improvements by learning how to build healthy, enjoyable habits. The VeraVia team treats both the internal and external factors leading to excess weight and suboptimal health.

Lasting Results

Our behavioural wellness program creates lifelong change that can impact your life through the following:

Mattie had been “on a diet” for as long as she could remember and was not seeing the results she desired from dieting or her fitness efforts. She also struggled with self-limiting beliefs and self-criticism. At VeraVia, she became aware of patterns of behavior that resulted in unhealthy weight gain, and she is now able to successfully implement her fitness and nutrition tools.


“I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to take a month to join the VeraVia program and put all of my focus on ME. Prior to coming, I was overweight and truly unhappy with myself and my life. But with the encouragement and support of the VeraVia staff, I was able to achieve my goals of starting to live a happier, healthier lifestyle. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of VeraVia, whether while taking a run, cooking a meal, or taking a time out when the stresses of the day begin to get overwhelming, and each time, I am reminded that I am truly blessed to have had this experience.”
