How are we doing guys? I hope everyone is staying well and healthy this January!
I thought I’d explain what exactly We Care Spa is before releasing more journal entries…!
If you’re like I was, you’ve probably NEVER even heard of We Care Spa. Hidden in Desert Hot Springs and about 20 minutes from Palm Springs, it’s hard to find.
Once my friend told me about this secret place and how much she loved it, I had to google it! We Care is not new. It’s been around for decades, frequently visited by celebrities such as Cameron Diaz and Matthew McConaughy. People travel from all over the world, in fact, to get well at We Care.
In a nutshell, We Care Spa is a juicing, fasting and spiritual retreat. It’s a place people come to to get healthy, fight disease and toxins, lose weight and feel energetic. Susana, the adorable 80 something year old owner and founder of We Care believes our bodies need detoxification because the world we live in is toxic.The air we breathe, the water we drink and chemicals in our food are just a few examples. At We Care they do their best to remove these toxins.
The We Care Spa diet is a liquid combination of alkaline water, organic vegetable juices, therapeutic teas and powdered plant concentrates made into juices to help soften and dissolve the body’s toxins. The process of your body’s elimination of such toxins is sped up with the help of colon hydrotherapies administered daily.
Colon hydrotherapies are a nice way of saying: COLONICS.
Yes my friends, you heard me. At We Care they recommend you are administered a colonic every day of your stay to maximize your detoxification. Don’t worry because you are given a probiotic replenishment after each colonic along with other digestive enzymes and herbs throughout each day.
Now not to put a damper on the positives of We Care’s detox program, but I would be remiss if I didn’t share with you the potential side affects. Bloat and gas, headaches, nausea and vomiting, skin breakouts, fatigue, insomnia and diarrhea are a few potential side affects during your first days in the detox program.
Yuck I know but let’s talk about the good stuff!…
Fear not my friends, because while you’re fasting and detoxing you can enjoy some of the many treatment and classes We Care offers for your mind, body and soul. Classes range from yoga and meditation to kitchen organization and the moon and your body. Treatments range from body scrubs to detoxification wraps, massages, facials and reiki healing.
And what about RESULTS!! Some people see immediate results in as little as 3 days. Some clients report a HUGE increase in their energy, weight loss of up to 3 pounds per day, increased mental clarity and improved skin. Others, not so much. But hey let’s just take a moment and focus on the positive, shall we?
Do the benefits outweigh the potential side affects? I am about to get started and will let you all know!
Wish me luck… I’m taking one for the team you guys! 🙂
