Project Description
Andrew, BC, Canada
“The counselling here gave me like 10 years of therapy in an hour and a half. I’ve seen therapists before, but the therapist here that I’ve seen was amazing. He was just able to break it all down and to give me a solid plan and the power to know I can do this, that I can get better, that I deserve to be well again. And he gave me the strength and the emotion. And he helped me deal with my trauma. He helped me compartmentalize it. It is still there, but it doesn’t have to take over my life. Before… I always had the trauma. I didn’t have the encouragement. I didn’t have the clarity. I would go to counseling and it would always just be regurgitation of my issues each se session. And I tried different counsellours and psychologists. I must have tried at least five. And this is years of hurting. I haven’t been this well in, in five or six years.”

| Mental Health. Due to multiple traumas my mental health was suffering. When I came, I was emotionally three or four out of 10. | Now, emotionally, I am 6 or 7 out of 10. The group emotional education sessions how to deal with my trauma really helped, the counsellors were really good. I was able to compartmentalize my trauma and bring out my youthful side and joy to my life again. I’m hoping to bring this spirit to my kids. I think through the process ss here, I’ve got the building blocks to have a positive outlook on life now. I think that’s mostly through the professionals here and the peer support on how to deal with my trauma really helped, and the education they’ve given me. |
| Extra Weight. I was overweight, obese. I’ve tried fasting, but I didn’t lose weight and was miserable all the time.

I am quite amazed. |
| High blood pressure and high cholesterol. My blood pressure was out of control, my cholesterol was out of control, even cutting back on my traditional diet.

My pulse was 80, and now it is down to 55. I feel like when I was 25 or 19. I didn’t expect this result. |
| Low Energy. I just had to drink coffee all the time. I felt like an old man. As you know some people are 10 years older than they look or 10 years younger than they look. | I started feeling lighter, always when you’re younger again, you have that free spirit. You don’t have that burden on your shoulders. The energy I have now, the youthfulness I feel again. I feel that energy again and I want to give off that energy. |

After about half an hour, I just couldn’t take it anymore. | I have clearer thinking and am calmer. The brain fog is disappearing. I’ve been able to catch up on a lot of work, and normally it would take me hours and days to get that done. I was able to focus. It was like being in college again. It’s much easier to me to understand the words, and I will be a better social person. |
| Arthritis and Pain. I suffer from arthritis, just chronic injuries from work and old sports. I’m always in chronic pain. Normally my pain would interfere with my day. | Now, I barely feel my pain. I used to be five or six out of ten, chronic, even with medication. Now I am down to three or four. |
| Sleep Issues. Normally, it would take hours to get to sleep. And I would have to be highly medicated. ust pain and mind racing, and they out in the morning.

| Difficulty to do exercise. I’ve tried exercising, but it was hard to do it on my own. | I've been doing physical activity. They have a good fitness center here. And also, Also, we had to learn all about the forest and timber; and we had to learn all about the forest and timber, just the spirit really enjoyed the guided walks. Excellent recreation. We're very educated on where we went and we had to learn all about the forest and timber, just the spirit, and the energy from the plants and the part of the environment that we are |
| Nocturnal eating. I had huge problems with nocturnal eating. During the day I was okay, but I think at night my emotions came out and it was going on for like for three or four years. I would just eat a whole fridge out. It doesn't mean I would make a sandwich. I would just eat the fridge. It was almost loiek gremlins came out inside of me. And I wasn’t my nicest... I don't want to talk too much into details because it gets quite personal. But I was ruining my health. I was ruining my finances. I was ruining my relationships. I wasn't getting sleep.... I’ve tried everything else. I’ve tried Ozempic for a week, but it didn’t work for me. | I don’t know if anyone’s ever smoked before, but this is how it was with my eating. Now the creavings are gone. I'm just like, Oh, it's lunchtime. It's dinner time. What a healthy meal I'm going to have? I feel full and it's going to be healthy and it's going to be great. And that was what the main reason I did come was for my eating disorder. The cleanse really helped, the routine, the structure, and the knowledge base that was given to us here. |

- Results. I was struggling at home, looking online, reading self-help books, which I’m not critical of all of them, they did help, but nothing like this helped in this short amount of time. I didn’t expect this results and I’ll be honest no one asked me to do this. I actually came up to you and asked, can I do a testimonial? Can I please do this and help? Maybe other people can see. I want to promise that while you may not get the results that I got, you will get some results. And you will feel better.
