I was told my weight gain was due to menopause, which I felt wasn't entirely true, I was given Geraldines number from a friend who had been going to see her. Well its now 3 months down the track I have lost 13.7 kilo's, Gerladine has fine tuned my eating plan, I don't like to call it a diet its a way of living. She found I had insulin resistance and pernicious anemia, even though I wasn't happy about that I can honestly say I have never felt healthier and happier. I have my life back thanks to Geraldine's guidance and support. Sharna

My experience with Designer Diets and Geraldine has always been extremely positive. Not only is she…read morecaring but she takes the time to listen to your concerns and will look in directions other professionals would not think of. I accredit all my progress thus far to her.

The masseuse asked what focus areas I wanted for my $120 remedial massage, but she didn't focus on those spots and it felt more like a Swedish full body massage than anything. I've been fortunate to have several massages every year for the past 11 years, so I feel pretty well versed in the massage experience. When I asked as politely as possible if pressure could be increased, the masseuse paused and was silent for about 3-4 counts, then said she had been doing massages back to back all day so couldn't do it. Awkward. The rest of the massage felt like I was just being touched and going through a process rather than focusing on particular areas I came in for. I wondered several times throughout if I should just ask her to stop and leave, but I didn't want to get confrontational. The receptionist was empathetic and gave me a 20% discount for the unimpressive experience. That was nice and kudos for the effort.

Two words: Highly Addictive…read more If you struggle with addiction don't visit Alkaline Spa. Seriously. Because if you do your habit will not only remain, but will most likely be enhanced. This place is the purest of its kind. Lets start with the staff. Afterall, they are your first point of contact and the reason for my ongoing addiction.
