About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Founded by Barbara and Michael O'Neill, Misty Mountain Lifestyle Retreat has been changing lives through natural health since 2001. We believe that the body was designed to heal itself and will do so given the right conditions. We have a large focus on the Eight Laws of Health (Fresh Air, Sunshine, Pure Water, Exercise, Temperance, Good Diet, Rest and Trust in Divine Power). Our naturopaths are trained in Barbara's principles and carry her passion for natural, holistic healing into every consultation. Our mission is to equip every guest with all the tools they need to leave Misty Mountain living a healthy life through natural means. Misty Mountain is Barbara's home and guests are occasionally lucky enough to meet her in person.
Whether you are managing a chronic illness, experiencing stress, seeking a complete detox, or simply ready for a reset, our structured residential programs give you the environment, education, and expert support to change your health - and keep it changed at home.

Programs run weekly (Sunday to Sunday) with both 8-day and 15-day options throughout the year.

All meals are vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar-free. We can cater for other dietary requirements. Our chef specialises in creating healthy, nourishing, delicious meals which are designed to support detox and healing.

Our on-site Misty Mountain Spa offers over 40 treatments.

Misty Mountain is a non-discriminatory environment - all are welcome regardless of race, religion, sexuality, vaccine status or gender.

Please note we are not a medical facility and do not offer palliative or 24-hour care.

Life changing
Just knowing a bit about the '8 principals of life' and actually applying them is radically different. Without the 8 days of support to fast and apply the principals, guided by the naturopaths and treatments and the programme at Misty Mountain, I personally could not have made the changes I very much needed to make. It was everything I hoped for and more. Im so grateful to God that I was able to take this journey. And Im thankful to the beautiful team who cares for everyone so kindly and gently. Loved the steam bath and creek dip. Im feeling rested, refreshed, reset, restored and will now continue on the healing journey equipped and inspired.

A Wonderful and Memorable 8-Day Experience
I thoroughly enjoyed my 8-day stay at Misty Mountain. The program was quite intensive, but very manageable, and I loved the variety of activities and the opportunity to learn so much about health and lifestyle.

What stood out most for me was the wonderful staff - kind, genuine, caring and always willing to help. The food was excellent throughout the entire stay - healthy, delicious and beautifully presented. It was a wonderful demonstration of just how enjoyable healthy eating can be.

The beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere made the whole experience even more special.

Overall, my stay at Misty Mountain was a very positive and memorable experience. I came home feeling grateful for what I had learned, refreshed and very glad that I had gone.

I would happily return to Misty Mountain in the future and would certainly recommend the experience to others.

I didn't come this far to only come this far.
I came to misty mountains with diabetes , high sugar levels, a recent quadruple bypass surgery which made my legs and back weak.

For the 8 days I've been here I have stopped taking insulin my walking has improved heaps and my mindset has changed, stress and depression has fallen off my shoulders and I am now ready to go back out to the world with a stronger vision for what I am building.
Thank you to the team at Misty Mountains.

Needs broken bathroom tiles replaced.
Too noisy as bed backs onto staff room, staff kitchen and guest laundry.
I had to move to a cheaper room for sanity reasons on the detox .this room should be a staff room, ...
I was moved tp a shared bathroom , which worked out in the end better.
