Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center is truly a magical place. I have learned so much about myself here. From being healthy and happy to balanced and free. With every ah-ha moment I experienced during my stay I could feel my energy and happiness growing stronger and stronger. I had the opportunity to get to know each person working at the retreat on a one on one basis. Although different in their roles, they are all beautiful people inside and out. All involved in doing amazing things to help others, including myself, find their health and their path in life. At the retreat I not only learned about the importance of nutrition and taking care of my body but I also learned a lot about the real me that was hiding behind my ailments. I feel part of an outstanding group of people whom I now consider to be my Hawaiian Family. Always greeting you with open arms, never judging and wanting to spread positive, healthy and happy energy to everyone they meet. I will always have a part of the Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center family with me everywhere I go. I am eternally grateful for being part of this life changing retreat. Aloha and Mahalo

I had a horrible experience from the start, which initiated me departing 5 days earlier than…read moreplanned. It actually began when I booked my stay, and due to poor communication and thoroughness (even when I went back to double check before booking my fight), there was a major snafu which the Dr. did not take responsibility for. Not to mention the terrible miscommunication in person with Dr. Baylac, which was unacceptable and no way to conduct business or speak to patrons. Additionally, this place is NOT one for healing, the environment has a massively toxic energy. The doctor should not be practicing any longer and this place is definitely not worth the money. I do not recommend this place at all.

I would recommend her whether you've done shamanic journeying before or are completely new to it.

Shardai works out of a cute little space in Manitou Springs. The only downside is the parking but if you go earlier in the day it's easier to get a spot. Or you can catch the free shuttle. She also offers discounts for multiple sessions, and something called raindrop therapy using essential oils which I want to check out next time I see her.

I have been seeing Gailla for about a year and a half now, and I have to be honest when I say she…read moreis THE BEST COLON HYDROTHERAPIST out there. I started going to Gailla when I was in desperate straights, and due to her treatment, not only did things get back in order, I also had my life saved (see below). Gailla takes time to educate you, to get to know your history, and turns something that could be very uncomfortable or embarrassing into something as natural as anything. This is not a "Here's the hose and some water, good luck!" kind of place. Gailla has 26 years under her belt, and is a true professional. As I alluded to above, when I first went to see her, I had been bed-bound for nearly 3 months with a back injury, and the medication they'd had me on left me so stopped up that I knew I had to do something, or I was going to end up in the hospital (and I didn't like the way the hospital deals with things like this). I had seen her website, but was unsure I could endure the trip due to the distance from Kona with my back being so sore. Nonetheless, I reached a breaking point one morning, and I had my husband call her. She heard what was going on, and immediately fit me into her schedule; my husband drove me there with the back of the car folded down so I could lie down the whole time. Gailla made special accommodations for me when I first arrived, and did a full intake before we even started the process. Not only did I receive a TON of education (and continue to do so) from her, but I got some immediate relief. It took a month or so of seeing her a couple of times a week to get my colon back in order, before we lengthened the times in between treatments, since things were improving. However, during one of the visits (since Gailla is monitoring what comes out through a clear spot in the tube), she noticed some blood in my stool, and asked me whether I'd had any history of that. I shared with her that I'd been ignored by the doctors for years about it, because I was so young. She very strongly encouraged me to see my doctor and get a colonoscopy, since we needed to be sure that it was not cancer. Blood is NEVER a good sign in stool, but other typical colon issues that can include blood symptoms can actually be treated well by colonics, but we needed to know what we were dealing with; cancer isn't something she is permitted to treat (and she didn't want me taking any chances with anything that could be wrong!). In any case, at her urging, I insisted my new doctor give me a test, which then led me to a colonoscopy, which then led them to discovering and removing a cancerous tumor in my colon. However, it was so small that we caught it before it had spread anywhere else! If Gailla had not been behind me to get this thing done, I am not sure I would have been able to press my new doctor to get the test done. She truly saved my life. On top of that, the relief of the back-up due to the pain meds, and the cleaning of my colon so that it can do its job as a healthy part of the immune system sped the healing of my back up 100-fold. About a month after I started seeing her, I was fully off of all of my pain meds and was walking again; her treatments were a key part in my recovery. Needless to say, although I only see Gailla now every 3-6 months, I trust her advice and guidance, and could not recommend anyone as highly as I do her.... Don't be embarrassed or scared. Gailla will make you feel comfortable, and will educate you and take care of you. Thank you, Gailla, for all that you do!

Dr Tomita made time to see me on the same day a few hours after I called. I was told to have low expectations for healthcare in Hawaii, but I was so wrong. Dr. Tomita's office was fancier than many of the healthcare facilities I usually go to in California. His staffs and nurses were so nice, everyone was always smiling, they offered me water and asked if I wanted sparkling water. You can tell I'm not used to that because I'm from California :'). Dr. Tomita was very professional, funny, and so kind! He helped me to stop worrying about my condition. Diagnosis was quick. He clearly know his stuff because after 3 days on the antibiotics he prescribed and I was healed. Memorable visit, exceptional team and treatment! Thank you Dr. Tomita!

I told the doctor that, and exactly where the referral needed to go... But, he sent the referral to Waimea, even though where it needed to go was an office in Keauhou. I asked him to create a request for an urgent referral and he said he would and he did not... I called every day for two weeks and couldn't get anyone on the phone and when I did, they were extremely rude to me... my referral, no joke, didn't even get sent in for a month and a half!! Now I can't get the surgery at all because they waited too long. It's so weird because Kealakekua and West Hawaii Community Health has always been very pleasant, the only reason I went here is because they had the soonest appointment, now I know why, cause nobody wants to come in and see the worst staff possible. I couldn't recommend these people less, everybody is so incompetent and they don't realize they're messing with people's well-being just because they can't follow the directions or can't seem to do a basic job. Never ever ever go here!

Many of the RNs are traveling and maybe only here for a few months. So I felt the care was very well-rounded since they bring their skills, experience and expertise from other hospitals around the country. I also felt the full-time long-term providers were excellent. The food is exceptional and plant based options are always available. My wait in the ER was never more than 35 minutes, except when coming in by ambulance. In those cases, no wait at all. The facilities are dated in some ways, but not so when it comes to equipment - X-ray, MRIs, etc , all in good condition. I had 2 MRIs there actually. Went well.

Staff said he just did not remember . We have access to his chart . No notes about walking . We asked several times for someone to assist him to shower. 4 days no shower . His B/P improved and he was able to be discharged. 4 days in bed only assistance was to bathroom. No physical activity, no shower , nothing . Unfortunately they are the only show in town .

He will have to come back up to same location next week for oncology consult . No patient advocate came in as we requested .

We needed information as well . As much as we asked we got nothing . We called hospice . We got the appointment for him next week . We got transportation arranged . We researched care needed .
