A fasting retreat to heal & rejuvenate

More than just a getaway, Seeds of Health juice cleanses have been designed to support your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness for a truly transformational experience.

Hi, I’m Janelle, naturopath, owner of Seeds of Health and facilitator of our in-person juice retreats (held in Far North Queensland and the Sunshine Coast), as well as our regular virtual fasting retreats.

As far back as the time of the Dead Sea Scrolls, juice fasting has been used to promote strength, vitality and wellness. Healing the body at a cellular level, a cleanse has the potential to address every health concern, from those irritating niggles to stress-related conditions, skin complaints, weight struggles and even chronic concerns that have been weighing you down for years.

What makes the biggest difference to the success of a juice cleanse is two-fold:

1. How you surrender while fasting; and

2. How you are supported during your fast.

Our juice retreats have been designed with this in mind. Every element of your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual comfort has been considered so you will be able to truly let go and experience a transformational cleanse on your life-long health journey.

As your facilitator, my experience with fasting is extensive. Having done multiple fasts myself, both juice and water from 3-21 days, plus having worked alongside Tyler Tolman supporting individuals on both a 7 & 30 day fasts, I feel absolutely confident that you are going to experience and receive a unique, high-end, fully supported and safe fast. Here is a taster of my fasting journey, to provide a little background.

• Shared high vibrational plant based food before & after the fast (days 1 & 5)

• Education sessions where we delve into the wholistic process of fasting covering topics such as: the internal process while fasting, the detoxing process, how to improve sleep and longevity, how to fast safely AND enjoy it!, and how to deal with emotions that are released during fasting, understanding that you are fasting on more than a physical level & the ability to deal with the emotions that arise

Growing up with a range of health issues, Janelle started her search for the truth about wellness and what it really takes to feel good at a young age.

What she’s discovered in the 18 years since is that there is no ONE way to feel good. The path of health is a deeply individual journey based on the way our own spiritual, mental, emotional and physical layers are woven together, and it’s a journey we walk for life (not only when we’re unwell). It’s by paying attention to how these layers interconnect that we allow ourselves to discover our own ‘sweet spot’ of feeling good.

Janelle is certified in Naturopathy, Western Herbal Medicine & Nutritional Medicine, Kinesiology & Reiki 1, plus she’s previously trained & worked as a primary school teacher (so she’s curious about learning). She’s also trained as a yoga teacher, studied hormone therapy, female fertility, Ayurveda and raw food cooking in Fiji.

A few interesting facts about Janelle:

• She’s lived with Native Indians for 6 months in Saskatchewan, Canada.

• She’s taken a 10-day vow of silence at a meditation retreat in the mountains (twice).

• She’s done a 30-day fast in Bali.

• She’s trekked for 3 weeks along the John Muir Trail on the west coast of the USA (340km)

• She’s done yoga on the Greek island of Amorgos for 9 days
