You taught me to communicate presence, love and acceptance with my hands, to tune into my clients state of being. You also taught me a great bodywork technique and such leila! Much love and gratitude to you! I wish you all the best in creating a great next Rebalancing course."

Many of the Retreats and Cleanses at Hacienda Del Sol offer Raw Food Choices

Cleanses and cleansing is an "in" thing to do since more people share a truth about wanting the feeling of feeling good and feeling light in their bodies and minds. More people are choosing alive raw foods and making it a way of life. Books and courses and experiencial retreats are very available to support the people who want this kind of experience and the change of lifestyle. Alive or raw food is not new but it has come back to us since we have discovered that cooked foods and processed foods are not what gives the human body health.
