We did not use the shared kitchen but everyone seemed to be really nice and friendly.

We stumbled upon Hawaiian Sanctuary Retreat Center while looking for a last-minute place to stay…read morenear Hilo after deciding to extend our honeymoon from Kona to explore the other side of the island, and we're so glad we did! What started as a spontaneous stay turned into one of the most healing and transformative experiences of our lives. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was peaceful, welcoming, and full of genuine care. We ended up spending nearly all of our time at the sanctuary instead of exploring because their healing services were exactly what we needed. Dr. Rich was phenomenal! Combining medical expertise with a holistic approach to help us address some long-standing health issues. Tammy's bodywork and her deep understanding of frequency and energy work were absolutely essential to our experience. Anita's hydro cleansing session was nothing short of incredible, my wife actually regained her sense of smell for the first time since losing it after Covid and a stroke in 2021! And then there was Kelly, her food and fresh juices were out of this world! Every meal was nourishing and full of life. The entire staff radiated warmth, kindness, and a genuine passion for helping people heal. We didn't want to leave and are already planning our return trip. Thank you, Hawaiian Sanctuary, for making us feel like family and for the life changing care and love you poured into every moment. You've truly left a lasting mark on our hearts.

The space that she holds for one is so beautiful and holy, a place to remember yourself as a sacred being, returning back to who you truly are in this life. Waking up to our Magnificent Selves and realizing this Earth walk is our walk home, even though it may seem so difficult & unfair at times. It's for the highest good of all. I am eternally grateful to Shardai and the wonderful healings that she offers. I recommend her to anyone that is looking for a safe space to be held, just as you are. In love and gratitude, Joy Cameron

Shardai first treated me with the essential oils Raindrop Technique. As a holistic health practitioner, I have experienced many types of treatments, and did not expect it to be as wonderful as it was. But it was. The work is very gentle but intense. We began by setting an intention. Throughout the treatment I had clear visualizations of how to proceed with the intention set. I left feeling cleared and invigorated; and though it was late in the day, I was excited to get busy with my work. I highly recommend Shardai for healing and removing blockages.

There is no place better in this area, or on this island I would say. I highly recommend Cosmo and his business.

Also, his homemade remedies for digestion, mental clarity, and other health concerns. Just a bundle of good things happening here. I know my every need is going to be addressed.

It also said most of their customers have their staff come to their house or office for the healthy IV infusion/IM injection services - as they specialize in mobile services! Oops, I was just visiting friends and supporting their fundraiser, so I had no home or office to use! And, I didn't know anything about the company, I think they were brand new at the time. I called to explain, and the owners kindly extended my expiry date! Plus, I discovered they have a nice quiet clinic attached to a residence to serve "visitors", from cruise ship guests to people like me, who might only be over for the day! This December, I finally flew back to visit friends and booked my hour visit before my flight home. Tip: Do read their IV Therapy Menu for the ingredients, uses, prices, and service times. Such a wide variety of options to improve your health! Infusions for hydration, travel fatigue, hangover/food poisoning recovery, mental focus, muscle recovery and performance, anti-aging, immunity, and other health concerns. Some infusions are recommended for repeat services for full effect, and they offer some IV push medication add-ons. They also have IM vitamin booster injections if you're in a rush - Mahalo to owner Ashley L. for the complimentary Vitamin B12 add-on! (I ended up choosing a service that was for more than my gift certificate, and it was really easy to pay for the difference and to add on a nice tip;). The location was a little tricky for us, only because our GPS app kept thinking we'd passed it. Lol! It was a nice surprise to walk to the first floor of a second story house, through the garage. A nicely appointed, well-ventilated, clinic awaited, with two infusion chairs, and a nice and clean restroom! My infusion nurse was the father of one of the owners (a husband and wife team), and an ER hospital nurse by trade. I felt well cared for, and one way to confirm that is upon bandage removal on my flight home;), photo attached. He explained he normally has to drive to client's homes or offices, (and I love the side note- his wife - and mom of one of the owners - suggested staff be on contract, including gas/mileage coverage, even if he is their dad)! Such a smart woman (by the way- the whole family and staff are in healthcare as well)! While I'm not sure only one hour of service would cause a dramatic effect, I have several friends who swear by these infusion services. In this day and age, with all the toxins we are surrounded by and ingesting/inhaling, I do believe these vitamins and boosters have a positive effect on our bodies. We just need to make time to invest in ourselves. Yes, you too, deserve this break and time for self-care. If you are planning to be anywhere on the Big Island of Hawai'i, check it out! You must book in advance - their calendar and available times are clearly detailed - and their on-line form is super easy to fill out. Send a message, and you'll get a reply. Choose on-site or mobile services. Oh, and they are super close to the Hilo airport, so it's convenient as well! I also got a sweet note (as a post visit check in), from Ashley, co-owner and service provider. I'm so glad to hear their business is flourishing, and hope you have a chance to visit them someday!

I immediately did an intense research on the internet and all roads lead me to Dr Mary Umbrello in Kea'au. I called a friend and shared with her my reaearch and idea. We both decided to face this adventure together. It sounded right but I questioned if it would deliver. I couldn't wait to get rid of the constant stuffed feeling in my gut and to experience clarity again. I was excited and eager. After the cleanse, nothing could of prepared for what I experienced. I was totally drained of what little energy I already possessed. I didn't panic because I experienced this feeling several times and knew exactly what this was . . . DETOX! I couldn't function. Drove back to Kona and fell asleep . It wasn't till the next morning I felt the magic happen. My gut felt light , my brain and thoughts were connected. My energy level had improved and I was so grateful. Called my friend, discussed our results and decided to make an appointment with Dr Mary for a 10 day Hydroclinic cleanse. We knew we were on the right track to better health and this would be the foundation we needed to heal our bodies. I'm so excited and cannot wait to begin this new journey. Here's to a happier healthy life

I was looking for a naturopath Dr. I could trust. I found all that and more! on phone calls w/Dr. Mary, I learned about the 10 day cleanse, it was a choice that felt hopeful, leading me along on the right track. she was patient and kind with all my questions. with each speed bump, information and trust magnified. after our first colonic, confirmation came, this was the tip of the iceberg and made decisions clearer. I vomited that night after and knew it was working, I was cleaning out, hoping the antibiotics, toxins, etc. were exiting. There was more to clean, more to do and consistency grows. I enjoy transparency, I researched, and let my medical doctors know, including my physician assistant n specialists. I was pleasantly surprised and welcomed the green light, confirming my choice n safety. I knew this was a part of what I'd been preparing for all these decades. I was hopeful that this would allow me to continue to clean, assimilate and heal. This was a huge missing piece! No regrets! the journey continues, now with added confirmation of what I knew and additional strength, power and support I need to be more consistent in living my best life as I age! the possibility of getting better and best became more real! these last chapters of my life are a wonderful adventure! and, now We are forever friends and sisters as well!
