Why Fasting is So Healing

Join us, and heal your body at a cellular level.

Hi, I’m Janelle, naturopath, owner of Seeds of Health and facilitator of our in-person juice retreats (held in Far North Queensland and the Sunshine Coast), as well as our regular virtual fasting retreats.

As far back as the time of the Dead Sea Scrolls, juice fasting has been used to promote strength, vitality and wellness. Healing the body at a cellular level, a cleanse has the potential to address every health concern, from those irritating niggles to stress-related conditions, skin complaints, weight struggles and even chronic concerns that have been weighing you down for years.

What makes the biggest difference to the success of a juice cleanse is two-fold:

1. How you surrender while fasting; and

2. How you are supported during your fast.

Our juice retreats have been designed with this in mind. Every element of your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual comfort has been considered so you will be able to truly let go and experience a transformational cleanse on your life-long health journey.

As your facilitator, my experience with fasting is extensive. Having done multiple fasts myself, both juice and water from 3-21 days, plus having worked alongside Tyler Tolman supporting individuals on both a 7 & 30 day fasts, I feel absolutely confident that you are going to experience and receive a unique, high-end, fully supported and safe fast. Here is a taster of my fasting journey, to provide a little background.

How Does a Juice Retreat Work?

Designed to reboot & reconnect with yourself on so many levels, our juice retreats give you permission to pause the responsibilities of every day life, catch your breath in a stunning rainforest setting and finally give your health your full attention. Layer by layer you body will begin to release & shed, restoring your vitality giving you a holistic wellness upgrade that will add years to your life.

Including pre and post retreat care, our experienced facilitators and support crew will be with you every step of the way. Our five-day retreat includes a three day juice fast on days 2-4 with three fresh vibrant juices provided every day, as well as education sessions, revitalising morning rituals, yoga, massages, energy healings, naturopath sessions, enemas, rainforest goodie bags and guidance to continue implementing everything you learn once you get home.

Some of our guests find that one retreat gives them the reset they need to carry on their wellness journey independently, while others return to us again and again as part of their ongoing health care routine.

See What Our Past Guests Are Saying

I am feeling fantastic. Light, energetic and strong. At aqua fit yesterday I had more energy than ever and felt very strong, which is surprising to me as I always thought I needed food to feel that. I can’t remember the last time I felt this good. Thanks again for a really wonderful experience - Loraine.
 

About Your Juice Retreat Facilitator, Janelle

janelle_new_profile.jpg

Janelle at the end of her 21 day fast (2 days juice, 19 days water) - feeling fresh, grounded, energised & alive!

Growing up with a range of health issues, Janelle started her search for the truth about wellness and what it really takes to feel good at a young age.

What she’s discovered in the 18 years since is that there is no ONE way to feel good. The path of health is a deeply individual journey based on the way our own spiritual, mental, emotional and physical layers are woven together, and it’s a journey we walk for life (not only when we’re unwell). It’s by paying attention to how these layers interconnect that we allow ourselves to discover our own ‘sweet spot’ of feeling good.

Janelle is certified in Naturopathy, Western Herbal Medicine & Nutritional Medicine, Kinesiology & Reiki 1, plus she’s previously trained & worked as a primary school teacher (so she’s curious about learning). She’s also trained as a yoga teacher, studied hormone therapy, female fertility, Ayurveda and raw food cooking in Fiji.

A few interesting facts about Janelle:

  • She’s lived with Native Indians for 6 months in Saskatchewan, Canada.

  • She’s taken a 10-day vow of silence at a meditation retreat in the mountains (twice).

  • She’s done a 21-day fast on the Central Coast of NSW (19 days of that was a water fast).

  • She’s trekked for 3 weeks along the John Muir Trail on the west coast of the USA (340km).

  • She’s done yoga on the Greek island of Amorgos for 9 days.

Janelle figures that if we’re in this wellness journey for life, we may as well tie our boots tight and step out with the determination to make it an adventure filled with optimism, ease and a healthy dose of self-love.
