Click on this picture to hear information about my Quarterly Health Retreats in Hawaii.

Hi retreat guests, This is the website to go to for information about one of the seasonal retreat houses we will be staying in:  http://www.halekoolau.com/  We will have the Nani Kai Hale "Beautiful Beach House" for seven days of rest, rejuvenation, and restoration.  We have our choice of two other houses owned by the same company for our second house, let me know which of the other houses looks good to you.  I am contacting local organic farmers for their best organically grown fruits, and vegetables, to treat our taste buds while we do our seasonal Summer circulation and digestive tune-ups.  Our health-care treatments can be scheduled daily after we arrive.  We will arrive in Honolulu about lunch time, so I plan on going to an organic restaurant/food market in Honolulu for our lunch, and for our first outing as soon as we leave the airport.  Hawaii here we come! 

Hawaii's natural beauty will inspire your desire to be naturally healthy.

Seven days in Paradise http://www.halekoolau.com/ June 2010

Summer retreat in Paradise October, 2008  How many of you could use a vacation right now?  That's right the answer is yes.  The average American takes less vacations and works longer hours than any other countries population.  Now, how many of you deserve a vacation right now?  Again, the answer is yes for at least 96% of you. According to the latest surveys results which verify that given all the money and time in the world 96% of all people surveyed would vacation, travel, go to exotic places.  What if you could vacation in Paradise, and improve your health as well, would that be a great bonus!  I am going to share with how you can vacation retreat with a purpose.  Each of our seasonal retreats have a specific health issue they resolve.  For instance:  each of your internal organ systems have a specific time of year that they are the most susceptible to illness.  Fortunately, it is also the time of year they are the most open to health treatments to tonify or decrease excesses in these organs to create positive influences. According to a health care system used by billions of people, over thousands of years your Heart, Spleen, and Stomach will readily receive treatments that create their health and wellness in the Summer and late Summer season.  This season is also the time of year when they can be most out of balance.  The Heart is associated with the Fire element, and the Spleen and Stomach are associated with the Earth element.  Each of these systems have color, sound, taste, smell, and emotions that are their characteristics.  For instance:  the color associated with your Heart is red, and for your Spleen and Stomach is yellow, so you can wear these colors during this quarterly season to improve your circulation and digestion if they are in a deficient state.  Preventative treatments at this time of year even if your not experiencing signs and symptoms of illness, will create balance and maintain health in these important body systems.  Seasonal acupuncture/acupressure and herb tune-ups just four times a year tonify your inner organ systems and correct minor health issues before they become serious problems.
