"VeraVia teaches you how to care for YOU!"
This is my second time back at VeraVia and I am so glad this place exists! I’ve taken health centered “vacations” before at places like Canyon Ranch, Miraval, and The Carillon, all were fun and nice.
The reason I chose to come back to VeraVia is this experience is for people who are serious about getting their mental, physical, spiritual and social health back in line.
The programming is fantastic and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. I chose the Comprehensive program for a 3 week stay.Your day is packed with workouts ranging from high intensity, weight lifting, yoga, moderate hikes and stretching classes as well as workshops on nutrition, stress management and coping strategies to deal with the stuff life throws at you. If you choose the Comprehensive program, you will also have individual sessions where you can dive deeper into your health, mental health and nutrition.
Most of my health issues can be improved with better nutrition habits, daily exercise and a dedicated self care practice but I was having a hard time pulling these things together and would give up, feeling frustrated and defeated. What I love about VeraVia is they help you pull it all together, make a plan for yourself and give you the confidence and support to help you achieve a happier, healthier life. But you still have to do the work! VV helped reinforce I am capable of doing it and I’m worth it!

"The program, team, and accommodations exceeded my expectations!"
I attended VeraVia’s 3 week Comprehensive plan. The program, team, and accommodations exceeded my expectations and proved to be a smart investment. An investment that is worth much more than the actual cost.
Losses: In the first 2 weeks, my cholesterol decreased from 219 to 197. I also lost 5lbs of fat from week 2 to week 3.
Gains: The best rest and sleep I have had since my youth. I gained 1lb of muscle. I “felt” food work as medicine. I found and experienced the truth behind the science of breathing and meditation. I discovered just how quickly the body can adapt to consistent fitness when a variety of exercises are involved. I gained a “true path to wellness”.
The program provided an environment that felt safe and comfortable. Myself and other guests often spoke of this and how relieving and peaceful it felt to “let go” and be open to receiving. The other guests truly provided a sense of community for which many of us created strong bonds in a short amount of time. Many of us could relate to one another in regards to suffering from corporate burn-out and high levels of stress which have effected our health.
The balance of this program and team was beyond impressive! A winning formula with just the right amount of variety and personal attention. The team was attentive, reliable, supportive, engaging, motivating, comforting, and authentic.
I intend to return annually and I also intend to gift this experience to others.
