Life Changing - Skeptic to Believer
I found Ananda Retreat center on a late night doomscroll on my phone. I've participated in DBT, CBT, traditional treatments for depression and PTSD with a slew of pharmaceutical interventions since I was a teen diagnosed with depression.
I was INCREDIBLY skeptical about plant medicine but decided to take a shot after reading about Ananda's trauma informed care approach and integration.
I came hoping for a little relief from my PTSD symptoms and left with so much more. Kim is incredibly caring and mindful about her practice with plant medicine. She involves you and educates you on every step of the process. She is incredibly knowledgeable and cautious in her practice to make sure everything is in the best interest of her guests. I thought I was just going to take plant medicine but instead I was invited into an immersive healing process with an wonderful guide and healer.
My family thought I was crazy- when I returned home and they saw the glow and joy on my face they knew the experience was transformative. So thankful I found this amazing ministry of healing. Already planning my next visit to continue my healing work.
Accommodations were on par with a 5 star resort- amazing view, beautiful pool and peaceful and intentionally small. Food was nourishing and helped reset my body- massage over the rushing creek in the midst of a beautiful rainforest was also one of the memories I will cherish.
Thank you Kim and Jason for the gift of Ananda Lodge!!
