Spa Eastman has saved my life.

I have Myalgic Encephalomylitis and my first visit I had additionally severe pain from Myocarditis. My husband was still working from home as I needed full time care and I could rarely leave our home. I was so afraid to be around people.

We went to the spa mostly for respite for him. I was discussing Medically Assistance in Dying with my therapist and doctor, as nothing after two years, seemed to be helping. But… we got me into the warm pool. Then five minutes in the infrared sauna. Then the pool. Then sleeping by fires, cocooned in nature. I learned that warm water immersion helped with my orthostatic intolerence like a giant pressure cuff, and the water’s support allowed me to gently stretch. We did this for three days between sitting outside wrapped in blankets with the magical views birdsong, sunshine and breeze. The staff were generously friendly and helpful.

The Tonique Cuisine presented so beautifully was a gift to my soul. Though the drive home undid some of the good and I needed several days in bed to recover, I started seeing change. A fraction less pain. A little better sleep. And hope. We returned three more times adding the hot and cold plunges and buying the Tonique Cuisine book to change what we eat at home. The last visit I never used the elevator! I walked the shorter trail before breakfast from our lodge and back in the evenings.

I am now sure I will someday be better. Most importantly, I am no longer discussing MAID and I can smile and laugh again. I am so grateful to Jocelyna and all the workers and this healing oasis in paradise you provide.
