Wellness Journey Testimonials

After being home for one month I want to say that my creative energy is coming back and I'm so glad to know that I can do things calmly and peacefully and still achieve everything I want. I am very grateful.

The Cleanse is one of the best gifts that I have ever given myself. I am renewed physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Nurturing my body in this gentle and loving way taught me to slow down and be my authentic self. Deva's food, along with her huge heart and gentleness, is absolutely delicious and is quickly becoming some family favorites in our kitchen. I am loving myself more and glowing from the inside out.

Addiction Recovery Testimonial

My hope is that anyone dealing with health concerns, addiction, depression, PTSD or any other mental health condition finds his/her way to the residential treatment program at the Cleanse. After months spent at different treatment centers around the country, I know the Cleanse offers the most well-rounded, comprehensive, holistic approach to healing available. With diet, cleansing, yoga, and a variety of therapies, the Cleanse addresses every aspect of the individual - physical, mental, and spiritual. The Cleanse's approach to treatment promotes rapid, sustainable change like no other program I have encountered. Their team of healers are not only highly qualified but also compassionate and uniquely dedicated to uplifting, energizing, and calling in the best in each individual. For anyone who truly desires and is ready to change his/her life, the Cleanse is unprecedented in its ability to provide powerful tools and support in an incredibly loving, uplifting, profoundly life-altering program. In my opinion, the Cleanse has created the template for the new paradigm in treatment for everything from physical issues to addictions, trauma, and a variety of mental/emotional/spiritual conditions.

I took part in the wellness residential 10 Day Cleanse in Fall of 2009. I had been looking for a Kundalini yoga retreat online and found The Cleanse of Sante Fe. I came to Espanola with an open mind, excited to do as much Kundalini as possible and curious about The Cleanse experience. I would recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to get their relationship with their body back. Ten days of yoga, amazing food, and time for reflection and you understand what your body needs better then you probably ever have. Deva and Kartar run the program with grace and kindness, as well as an incredible depth of knowledge about the physical and spiritual body. They are fun and wonderful guides during the journey. You leave feeling, cleansed, but also refreshed, grounded and energized. It has been about four months since I did The Cleanse and I still eat veggies with almost every meal. I don’t drink coffee any more and amazingly I don’t need it. I do yoga or exercise almost every day and my body sends me clear messages when I don’t. These aren’t things I have to make an effort to do. It isn’t like a New Year’s resolution. The Cleanse helps you reconnect with your body and you just won’t want to give up that relationship once you get it back.

Weightloss Program October 2009
I have never been what you call overweight, just always carried around extra weight all over. I could hide it mostly with clothes and most people would say I look fine. I knew I had this layer of body fat that I could not get rid of, no matter what I did. I just could not slim down to what I believe my body shape should be. The Cleanse made it happen, I am finally exactly where I believe I should be and I feel amazing. For the first time in my adult life I am happy with my body shape.
For years I have tried everything, different pills, diets, and cleanses and found I could never really get that all over feeling of health and lose that layer of fat that seemed pasted to my body. More recently I had been working very hard with exercise and diet however never was able to lose those last 10 pounds no matter what I did. I was in great shape and could feel muscles under that layer of fat that I could not get rid of. After doing 'The Cleanse" my whole body changed, those last 10 pounds dropped off AND stayed off! My husbad tells me my body looks better than when he first met me. I sure feel great. My clothes look different AND I bought my first pair of size 6 jeans in over 15 years AND I bought a size small dress. I cannot ever remember fitting a size small dress. In fact I fought with the sales clerk trying to get me to try it on. I feel like I took 20 years off my life, I found the cleanse easy to follow and the food is truly amazing. I have continued to make and try new recipes from the Cleanse recipe book. This Christmas was the first time I can remember actually liking the pictures taken of me!

I signed up for The Cleanse of Santa Fe in November 2009 to quit smoking and get my stress level under control. I achieved both but discovered much more.

Cleanse leaders Deva and Dr. Kartar Khalsa are amazing. They work with you on a lot of levels to ferret out what’s underneath your issues and bring that into the light. They heal with a blend of amazing whole foods and supplements, acupuncture and other body treatments, Kundalini yoga, Ayurveda and personal counseling.

This is a very sweet, complete experience I would recommend to anyone!
