Health Retreats With Heart For the past 5 years, the Abundant Life Wellness Centre in Alberta, Canada has dedicated itself to helping guests recover from a variety of conditions and diseases in order to start living life to the fullest.  Some guests arrive without major illness, but have a desire to improve their overall health and learn how to eat properly for maximum health.  Others seemingly crawl to get here, having lost hope or feeling as if their bodies are breaking down. Whichever the reason, when our guests conclude our program, it's as if a miracle has happened.  We offer 6 day, 10 day, or 14 day cleansing programs tailored to your needs.  The 6 day program is a Juice Rejuvenation (Juice Fasting) program, the 10 day program is an Advanced Whole Body Cleanse, and the 14 day program is a complete Health and Wellness Makeover.  Whichever program you choose, everyone leaves with bright and shining eyes, bodies full of health, and a restored radiance and enthusiasm.   Delicious and Healthful Dining Our guests consume a raw diet of vegetables, fruits, sprouted grains, water, and a variety of fresh-squeezed juices, as well as cleansing drinks. Our guests do not spend their stay feeling hungry, either physically or mentally. We feed both the body and eye, with attractively presented, colorful and healthful meals and snacks.  Our 6-10-14 day Wellness Programs includes variety of different vegetable and fruit juices served daily, which our team members created and tested themselves. The combinations of vegetables and fruit our blends consist of are specially chosen for their cleansing properties with focus on the GI tract, liver and blood. Detox and Rejuvenating Rituals Our guests enjoy daily steam baths and hydrotherapy treatments designed to assist with elimination of toxins, boosting the immune system, weight loss, clearing the respiratory system, and beautifying the skin.  Our health based program includes rejuvenating treatments which are designed to increase a feeling of well-being, including Skincare, Massage, Reflexology, Hydrotherapy, Colonics, Salt Glows, Infrared Sauna, and more.

We offer seven fully furnished bedrooms for guests participating in the cleansing program; private rooms have one queen size bed per room, while shared rooms have one full and one single bed. To contribute to comfort and privacy, the retreat has eight bathrooms and three showers.  We encourage our guests to "unplug" during their stay, but we make available a business center with a telephone, wireless internet access and a computer for checking email.  Rooms are equipped with televisions, and we have a central media room as well, where health related programming is presented to all guests.

Rancho La Puerta, founded by Edmond and Deborah Szekely, is the original destination fitness resort and spa — family-founded, -owned and -operated. Today’s guests enjoy the very best resort spa experience, shaped by expertise developed over 65 years.  Each week, some 150 guests share 3,000 acres of mountains and meadows beneath 3,885’ Mount Kuchumaa. The peak straddles the U.S.-Mexico border, and Native Americans consider its slopes and summit a sacred place — so much so that it was the first geographic feature in the U.S. to be named a National Historic Site by the Department of Interior based on spiritual significance.    Rancho La Puerta provides space — that which is most lacking in today’s life. Space to breathe freely. To relax. To renew, reflect and redirect one’s longer-living life. All facilities and land are for the exclusive use of guests who come for the week, arriving on a Saturday and departing on the next, ensuring the delights of a warm and welcoming community. Most of the facilities and lodgings are sprinkled amidst world-class gardens. Probably the world’s first “eco” resort, the Ranch practices sustainable organic gardening and resource conservation, and leads the way in environmental protection and education efforts in the region.  Within walking distance, our organic farm, Rancho Tres Estrellas, grows the healthy fare we dine on daily. 3,000 Acres for the exclusive enjoyment of the 160 resident guests: • 4 lighted tennis courts • 10 gyms for class work • 3 heated pools • 5 whirlpools • 3 saunas • Volleyball court • Basketball court • Gym for Body, Mind & Spirit classes • Labyrinth of Inner Discovery • Women's Health Center (Massage/therapy rooms, lounge, hot tub, sauna, locker room, showers, nude sunbathing) • Villas Health and Skin Care Center (massage/therapy rooms, lounge, hot tub, sauna, locker room, showers, nude sunbathing) • Men's Health Center (massage/therapy rooms, lounge, hot tub, sauna, locker room, showers, nude sunbathing) • Beauty Salon: Complete hair salon for men and women, manicures and pedicures • Sunbins: Three in the vineyard, for very-private sunbathing.
