10 Days Retreat

​

When you have 10 days to focus on you, amazing breakthroughs will happen. Sometimes we just need to get away to find the way. This retreat will jump start your journey to better health and a better you. Busyness, multitasking, and distraction have destroyed our nervous system. When we’re under chronic stress and over stimulated, our joy, creativity, and focus shuts down. GETTING AWAY from your daily life and having ZERO DISTRACTIONS will allow you to reconnect with your body and yourself. This will give you the opportunity to discover the importance of self-awareness before change. It’s time to demand a higher standard for yourself by investing 100% on your physical, emotional and mental health. You will experience a combination of group training, fascia treatment sessions, and private coaching. Along with daily practice and guidance, you will have the tools and structure to reinforce what you have learned, so you can realign and address your highest needs. There will be prepared plant-based wholefood available 24 hours for your convenience by a chef and his staff. Professional and caring doctors, naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, psychologists, and massage therapists are on staff if needed.  
 
You will have ample quiet quality time to think about what really matters and what it is that you really want for yourself.  There are no short cuts in life and you must make the time to do the hard work and EARN IT. Doing so, you will have the confidence and competence to take what you learned and apply it to your own self-care and wellness routine.

We only know what we know, so come and experience for yourself “What you don’t know!”  When it comes to your health, what you don’t know in today’s world is harmful as you age which leads to unnecessary pain and suffering. Your healthy, beautiful, and amazing body wants and desires to blossom. When you treat it well from the inside out, real restoration and transformation happens. There’s an old wise saying, “When you are ready, the teacher and the opportunity will appear.” – ARE YOU READY?

Keep the fire burning and the momentum going

​

One of the most common things that happens after a retreat, no matter how great it was, is that people experience all that transformation and then go back home and lose everything they gained. This is because they have no support!  Why? Because without the right support, they will almost revert back to old habits and behaviors – undoing all the benefits they just received from the wonderful retreat.  Sadly, I’ve seen some retreat leaders attempt to offer post-retreat support via a free private Facebook group, but within a matter of weeks participation quickly wanes. Trust me, I was one of those people. We need one-on-one human connection and the need to feel understood of our challenges, fears, burning desires, dreams and purpose. My vision is to create a refreshing, inviting, and safe environment to educate and inspire my clients. I want your quality of life in all areas to improve with each retreat and each follow up program! This 10-day retreat includes a 3 months follow up and accountability support. Weekly group meetings on zoom (20 minutes) and weekly private individual sessions on zoom(15 minutes).

​

Q: What makes your retreat special. What’s the difference if I just go to True North Health Center by myself instead of your retreat.

​

A: You can absolutely go by yourself and get some great results. What makes my retreat special and so different are the following.

​

1) This is for someone who wants and needs personalized private guidance and support. A private or small group of like-minded participants 1-3 people and a safe space of non-judgment is expertly crafted together to produce healing and the beginning of transformation. Most retreats have 10-30 people in a group and is set only on a certain date. My retreat works around your schedule.

​

2) I will be your personal guide offering my extensive, unique, and diverse knowledge of 25 years in the areas of life balance, mindset, posture, corrective movement, fascia treatment, muscle, joint, balance, mobility, strength, and flexibility issues. Please visit my website https://www.journeytofitness.com/ to learn more.

​

3) We are drowning in information and are overwhelmed. It is only though taking action and our own experience that we start to learn and better understand our own body. No one can do the hard work for you, but we also can’t do it alone. We need a guide who has our best interest at heart and help make adjustments as we continue on our health journey.  

​

4) This is NOT a cushy, laid-back, feel-good retreat. It’s a time for honest self-reflection, where you will have an open conversation and be confronted with your own truth about why you’re holding yourself back. Breakthroughs and many “aha moments” are some of the goals we are striving for.

Testimonial #1 - Feb 2023
This retreat was a life-changing experience with impressive results after only 10 days! The combination of  great health center that makes healthy eating, sleeping, exercising, and learning easy, with Li Si's coaching & fascia treatments was powerful! Taking a break from the stresses of life as a caregiver and community advocate with a very demanding job and having LiSi's expert guidance and support led to a reversal of years of steadily increasing weight, blood sugar, hypertension, aches and pains, and steadily declining energy and happiness. I needed to take a break before I broke! In a very short time, my body was transformed -- I lost ten pounds in ten days, my blood sugar and cholesterol levels went from high to normal, I needed less medication, and I gained the tools to continue habits of healthy living after the retreat. LiSi's body renovation retreat is followed by personalized sessions which help reinforce those skills and help me stay on track to reach my goals. I continue to lose weight, gain pain-free mobility and strength, and feel much more energetic and empowered to reach my life goals --- this ten-day retreat made me feel ten years younger!

Testimonial #2 - July 2024

I was turning 60 this year, hadn’t had a vacation in 10 years, hadn’t been taking care of my health and was feeling burnt out from being short-staffed at work for over 4 years and taking care of my elderly parents, so I decided to invest in my mental and physical well being and go on the 10 day body renovation retreat with Li Si.  I am SOOO GLAD that I did!  

First of all, everyone at TrueNorth, from the housekeeping staff to the medical staff, were so friendly and welcoming- I felt very much at home but also felt like a pampered guest as the staff would come find me twice a day to check my vitals and how I was doing and bring my juice (while I was on my juice fast) to my room.  

I initially planned to do a 3-day water fast, but was recommended by the chiropractor who did my initial check up to do a juice fast because of the type of medication I was on.  I thoroughly enjoyed the juice fast, and after that, enjoyed the “re-feeding” on a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) , salt/oil/sugar (SOS)-free diet which may sound unappetizing but the chefs made the food really delicious!  

The facility was set up like a cozy apartment complex with an enclosed courtyard where the guests could lounge in the sun or sit and eat their meals in the shade.  It was located in a lovely neighborhood so Li Si and I went for a leisurely walk three times day (before breakfast, after lunch and dinner - sun was still up until around 7-8 PM!).   The area was filled with homes that looked like pictures out of a magazine, story-book houses with many roses, beautiful flowers and fountains and shady lanes lined with huge trees!  

On our walks, Li Si and I got to talk about a lot of things and she asked questions that prompted me to start thinking about how I wanted my life to look like in the coming years and what actions I needed to take to make the changes happen.  I’ve been so busy just reacting to whatever life threw at me that I hadn’t really thought much about what I could do to actually enjoy my life.  This retreat gave me not only much needed rest (I was getting 7-8 hours of sleep at the retreat while my previous average night’s sleep was about 4-5 hours), but I also had the peace and quiet of mind to think about my future and what I wanted.  

Li Si also worked on my fascia and helped me work on my posture and core.  I found this retreat well worth the investment:  I lost 11 pounds, broke my addiction to mindless YouTube watching until the wee morning hours and have a better idea of what I want from life.  I’ve been back home for almost 3 weeks now and although I gained back a few pounds, I’m still more than 5 pounds lighter than before the retreat, I’ve been maintaining the WFPB, SOS-free lifestyle (for the most part), daily exercise and averaging 7-8 hours of sleep nightly.  

This retreat really helped me to reset my course towards better health and a better life.  I’m looking forward to doing this again! Thank you, Li Si!
