Is it Time for a Wellness-Based Holiday?

- Truehealin­goceanretr­eat.com

How many times have you said, “I need a vacation!”? Many of us are feeling the cumulative effects of stress and we really do need a break. However, going on an alcohol-centric vacation where we gorge at buffets and lay around on a beach often only leaves us feeling bloated, tired and sluggish. Then when we return home, nothing really changes, and we might even say, “I need a vacation from my vacation!”

So maybe it is time for something different? Many people are now choosing wellness-based travel. Replacing exhausting vacations with nourishing restorativ­e holidays. At True Healing Ocean Retreat, we see the tremendous benefits of wellness-based itinerarie­s to help bring harmony back to our clients’ nervous systems and teach them practices to help support a healthy lifestyle when they return home.

We create an intimate experience, for up to 2 guests at a time, where we ensure our guests are cared for and tailor their experience to what they want and need. Our many holistic offerings support mind, body and spirit well-being. A retreat can include customized yoga sessions, techniques for settling your nervous system, profession­al coaching, soothing massage, meditative sound healing, guided mindfulnes­s hikes, nourishing catered food and more.

Everything we offer aims to enhance our guests’ well-being, including our retreat setting, which on its own has profound effects. We are located near East Sooke Regional Park, where there is an abundance of natural beauty to explore and reconnect with. Our newly built space provides a clean, comfortabl­e spot for our retreat guests to enjoy breath-taking views of the Salish Sea, Olympic Mountains and dense forest.

We are grateful to share that our guests head home feeling rejuvenate­d and more at ease.
