This gentle, 28-day guided cleanse
is designed to assist the body’s own natural processes
at the changing of the seasons. Group support often
makes it possible to do what might be challenging to
accomplish on one’s own. This cleanse is defined as
eating a modified diet rich in fruits and vegetables,
and drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices, broths
and teas. Diana will address individual needs in a one-to-one
pre-cleanse appointment, included in the cost of the
program. The sessions will include time for personal
sharing and reflection, questions and answers, information
on the cleansing process, and guided experiences such
as yoga and breath work specific for supporting the
detoxification process. The first week’s sessions will
be 2 hours, sessions after that will be 90 minutes.
Participants in this program will receive a 10% discount
on bodywork and related apothecary purchases during
the month of the cleanse.
