Before I relate how wonderful Vida Cleanse is and spectacular a host/guide/leader Yesenia Johnson is, I need to get a Yelp issue off my chest: The first review shown for Vida Cleanse by someone going by "K S." from Los Angeles on 6/2/2014, illustrates how ignorant, unfairly judgmental, and pathetically thoughtless human beings can be. This entity, who is so cowardly to not even use her/his complete real name, described many things s/he personally liked about the Vida Cleanse retreat. S/he pointed out that Yesenia was NOT the person who led this particular retreat. Then, s/he complained about a broadcast e-mail from Yesenia offering a discount for positive Yelp reviews just as she became the new owner. It is completely normal and common when a business changes hands and/or is "Under New Management" that they have a "Grand Re-opening" and offer incentives such as a "Sale" or new-customer discounts. For that one e-mail "K S." felt was SPAM, s/he decided not to give 4, or 3, or 2 stars, s/he went all the way down to the lowest possible 1 star! This cruel person wanted to harm Yesenia's small business just as she was starting out and hurt someone's livelihood because of a single insignificant promotional e-mail. This idiot could care less how this could hurt Yesenia and the tears this may have caused. Whenever I see mean and intentionally harmful individuals like this on Yelp and other social media platforms, I cringe and pray for a world without petty, foolish, jerks in it. Mr./Ms. K S. -- Vida Cleanse by Yesenia offers fasting retreats at least once per month, sometimes several a month---they are almost always sold out. Yesenia's retreats are far more successful than the previous owner ever was. It was very stupid of you to assume and then make the moronic judgment that because Yesenia offered a one-time discount that her brand-new business was somehow failing. You should be ashamed and delete your uninformed and false review. There! Thanks for reading this far. I simply want fairness and justice in the world. Speaking of fairness---the kindness, vivacity, and fair spirit of Yesenia Johnson of Vida Cleanse will lift your retreat experience to great heights. The 5-day cleansing retreat held at The Spring Resort & Spa in Desert Hot Springs, California, was a truly healing, relaxing, and memorable vacation for me. Yesenia sent pre-fast instructions, itinerary of activities, and a fasting schedule to me in advance. When I arrived, she handed out a prepared booklet of more detailed instructions, checklists, and information on the specific benefits and details of our particular fast. The Spring Resort staff were so nice and very considerate to me. I felt taken care of right away and throughout my entire stay in my comfortable deluxe courtyard suite with private soaking tub. All of us participants blended well together, about twenty one in all. There were activities to indulge in each and every day, from yoga, early morning hikes in gorgeous natural locations, energy medicine sessions, guided meditations, wellness talks, and a sound bath. My favorites were fully utilizing the spa for massages, Dead Sea Salt scrubs, Mudd wraps, facials, and last but not least, daily colonics which are crucial for an effective detox fast. I was in one of the three mineral bath pools for hours every day as well . . . so wonderful! Yet, the star of the show was Yesenia herself. A dedicated and extremely well organized retreat leader. She was keenly aware of everyone's needs and fasting experience as it unfolded. Yesenia was always full of smiles, supportive with advice and encouragement, and delivered all the delicious organic juices and supplies on-time as promised. I lost weight, my total cholesterol dropped from 201 to 144, and my body and soul were rejuvenated. I've been on scores of spiritual retreats, fasting retreats, educational retreats, and retreats of all sorts. This one, Vida Cleanse by Yesenia, was as well run, fun, and meaningful as any I've experienced. Thank you, Yesenia Johnson, for creating Vida Cleanse---a beautiful and healing place for any body and spirit to land into. Review 0193 Feel.

No TVs' in the rooms and it's nice a windy up in those hills so it's good for meditating. The spa is older and cool. Very relaxing property and owners and is a good place to detox, mediate and take in good waters. Very good water quality from their own property source with high PH and magnesium. I always feel refreshed after a few hours in the water. Cool rooms, some with little kitchens and a little breakfast area is set up in the spa in the mornings with coffee and teas. The shower, pools and even drinking water are from the source so one to two days stay with clean eating will clean you out. I recommend for relaxing and getting some quiet time. The crowd is a now a bit too much "LA" and "OC" but most are cool. Good legal city run dispensaries near by and some cool restaurants to eat at. Great view of Mt.

Made fresh by Danielle every morning, she was an extremely gracious host. I enjoyed our morning conversations as much as the delicious breakfast she served. They also offer yoga classes twice a week, and various spa treatments. I would highly recommend a stay here for anyone looking to take the waters in a beautiful and laid back setting.

We booked her for a girls retreat in Palm Desert and we went in with no expectations, just open to the experience. We had experienced and inexperienced women when it came to sound bath and yoga. Sarah made all the woman feel absolutely comfortable and at ease. She is kind, funny and magical. She truly is a reiki master, she has a beautiful glow inside and out. She is very talented with her sound bowls and other instruments, her reiki flows through her playing and singing. She left us feeling amazing, empowered, and grounded.

I found this business on Instagram and thought it looked perfect and the kind of place I would normally visit. I contacted her and asked if she did Hydra-facials, as my skin was really dry from being in Colorado, and also asked what skincare lines she used, as I can't use some ingredients on my skin. Whoever runs this business was nasty from the start. She immediately referred me to someone else for a hydra-facial, as she doesn't do them, which is fine and was appreciated. But then told me she was too busy to continue a conversation about her services. She said my skin was too sensitive to be worked on by anyone professionally and she personally wouldn't feel comfortable working on my skin. Just be aware you have to have perfect skin to be seen here and be able to use ANY and every product she deems fit, or else you're banished from all "professional facials". Zero discussion allowed. I have lived all over the country and spoken with many skin care professionals. Never have I come across someone so abrasive and rude just for inquiring about their services. If you're going to work in a service industry, work on customer service skills and time management.
