A GP speaks about the Living Valley experience

"It was the first time that I have received care and teaching by such a skilled team of caring professionals. They were so thoroughly trained, working in harmony to give wellness and longevity through natural methods".

I am writing to thank you for giving me a great cleansing, healing and growing experience. I have been physically, mentally and spiritually refreshed and revived.

I will unreservedly recommend your program.

I graduated in medicine in 1978 and have worked in general practice for over 20 years.

In recent years I have consulted at Victory Health in Noosaville. As a doctor I have always believed that there is more to health than the allopathic principle of restoring health to a patient through mere symptom relief.

I prefer the natural approach that first ascertains the cause of sickness, then guides the patient through lifestyle changes to support the bodies own defence and healing processes.

The Living Valley Springs 10 day cleanse was the beginning of doing just this. It was the first time that I have received care and teaching by such a skilled team of caring Professionals so thoroughly trained, working in harmony to give wellness and longevity through natural methods.

From the initial naturopathic evaluations through to the final lifestyle planning consultations, I felt safe , knowing that i was in the best of hands. The Naturopaths were astute to detect underlying problems, then target specifics with various therapies. I appreciated the cleansing, detoxification and nutritional support throughout the program.

The therapists are gifted in service and I thank each of them for treating me as an individual. The lectures packed wisdom and knowledge into 10 days and the teaching was so clear.
Your lecture on spiritual health also had a big impact on me. My faith has grown!

One of the high points of the program was the climb up Mount Cooroora. It was an elating experience for everyone.

The personal empowerment and emotional package was beneficial to me. I would recommend those sessions to everyone. I received blessing and liberation through working through the councellor's resource material. It was professional and profound and I have it to refer back to.

In my final consultation the Naturopaths prescribed me a personal long term treatment plan to target specific health issues. I am very grateful for their considerations and I will be following their advices diligently.

Ten days at Living Valley Springs has transformed my life. I have been liberated, enlightened and cared for in a professional and caring environment. The companionship with other guests was also memorable.

Please pass my thanks on to all your staff.
Thanks be to God and thankyou Gary for creating such a helpful caring place.

Dr Peter Johnson
