- Barbara S5 contributionsHealthy, delicious raw food!I took Chef Jo's cooking class at the Tea House near Hermosa beach. I was surprised at first that we didn't get to participate in the cooking but Chef Jo kept us all attentive by her knowledge of cooking and of the ingredients that she used. She also gave many good cooking tips! She answered questions and took suggestions from the group. It was overall a good time had by all and the food was outstanding. It was not only beautiful but delicious. She demonstrated fixing a roasted beet salad and lemon cheesecake with pecan crust. Then we sat outside and ate our delicious, healthy food.Visited December 2023Traveled soloWritten January 1, 2024

I recently had the pleasure of spending some time with Kevin and Joanne and doing their 5 day juice cleanse. Before going into the cleanse I was feeling pretty good and wasn't sure what I would get out of it, having done several different cleanses in the past and also being someone who eats mostly vegan diet with a lot of raw food and juicing anyways. I was completely blown away by how simple and easy they make everything for you, all your juices/smoothies/supplements/teas/etc are all provided and dropped off to you twice a day. I felt so much energy and clarity by the third day and was not hungry at all after that. I felt inspired and motivated and still do, a month later. It was completely worth the money, not only the amazing juices and actual cleanse material provided, but the health benefits, things I learned, and motivation was worth well over what it cost. Kevin and Joanne have created The Healing Cuisine out of passion for what they do and they are such genuine and approachable people with so much positive energy and knowledge to share. If you are in Costa Rica or anywhere they are offering a course or program and you have any desire to make positive changes in your health or your lifestyle/diet it is an amazing opportunity to enhance your mind/body/spirit.

This was such a fantastic and spiritual experience.. between staying at a fabulous estate in Santa Teresa and having Joanne as our guide.. I was not prepared for how I would feel. Each day brought tasty juices and raw foods, all of which were explained in depth by Joanne on how they benefit the body. Eating healthy is one thing, but when you're eating with the right intentions and of foods made with love it makes a world of difference. Also, the raw pizza and pancakes are stuck in my mind forever, delicious!! Much love and gratitude for Joanne in giving me such an amazing week <3 <3

While I was in Santa Teresa for a fitness retreat, a few of us girls were able to attend Joannes raw cooking class. What an exceptional experience! Everything that Joanne made was so delicious! We left with so much information and I have already made the yummy recipes that were promptly emailed to me!

Bravo to Joanne & the healing cuisine team! I've been working with Joanne for a few years now; my first encounter with Joanne was during her living foods made easy & crunchy goodness cooking classes. I left feeling inspired to eat raw and confident I could re-create these yummy recipes, once at home.
My next visit to Santa Teresa, I tried a 3 day juice/raw food cleanse. I was a bit hesitant at first, not knowing how I would feel and if I would be hungry and weak, but Joanne answered all my questions and made sure I was comfortable and ready to take on the challenge. I would be lying if I said it wasn't difficult, but in the end it was SO rewarding to me. After the cleanse I felt incredible, vibrant and healthy!
During my most recent visit, I decided to pre-order raw food, juices & teas (a la carte) which I picked up throughout my stay. Everything I had was delicious and I was excited to try it all. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants to eat healthy and yummy food with ease.
Joanne’s beautiful energy shines through in everything she does. You can taste her passion for healthy and clean eating/living. Thank you for educating and helping me change the way I eat…..I’m looking forward to my next visit.
I live in NYC and I can tell you there is nothing like The Healing Cuisine here, I crave it!!!!

I attended the "Alignment Retreat" in May 2015. When I think of Costa Rica I think of yummy, fresh produce, healthy eating, fun & adventure and I think of going to a retreat.
This retreat was an excellent cleansing experience for me. I never missed meat once, in fact I craved the healthy chocolate pudding we made. The facilitators were AMAZING! They were so loving, caring, kind and supportive throughout my entire stay. I felt so nurtured and my body truly was reset. I'm so thrilled I had this immersive experience which I have now included healthy habits into my daily life.

Kevin and Joanne came back to Pemberton BC in Canada to offer the juice fast from Healing Cuisine. I was keen to give it a shot. I originally went for 3 days than decided to do 5 than decided to go for 10. I left myself feeling even if I make it to 7 I would be happy. But as I went along I was feeling so good and starting to see changes weight wise that I went for 10. That was over nearly a month ago now. I am exercising daily and watching my food intake and still juicing recipes off of the juice fast :) The program they ran was excellent your really are put on their priority list being one of their clients. They care and it shows in the experience I shared with them and others in my community. I am asked constantly about the program and when to expect them to return! Great Job Kev and Jo, I cant thank you enough, hope to get to Costa for my next juice fast :) Healing Cuisine Rocks!

Recently I participated in a juice cleanse provided by The Healing Cuisine. The juice was fresh and delicious. Everything was provided and the instructions were both written and communicated in person so it was easy to follow. Additionally I found that the timing was appropriate for each drink as they all had a purpose and kept your system running well. Joanne and Kevin are very knowledgeable and were there for me for questions as well as additional information regarding my particular situation. I highly recommend this brilliant team!

We just returned from an amazing vacation in Santa Teresa with our four young adult children and two of our sons girlfriends, and the kids are all STILL raving about the amazing food experience we shared with Joanne in two of her workshops...Living Foods Made Easy and Tropical Cooking Class. Joanne is such a delight...a gentle, sweet woman...moving about her kitchen with such confidence and grace. She taught us how to create delicious, beautiful meals, and how to adapt them to our colder, northern climate. We have all returned home with a wealth of knowledge that has inspired us all to continue experimenting with healthy living foods and wonderful tropical menus. Joanne's courses were by far, the highlight of our trip. Make sure to take the time for this one of a kind experience!!!

Joanne catered our wedding at Batik on beautiful playa hermosa. She did an amazing job and the food was delicious. It was all fresh and beautifully presented and there wasn't one person in the party that didn't rave about the food. She added a couple of extra touches by bringing a rum drink in a coconut after the ceremony for a toast and while we took pictures she served appetizers for the group right on the beach.(The beach was .25 mile from the kitchen)Along with the main course she designed a mouth watering dessert bar. Joanne was so personable and truly made the celebration one to remember. Thanks so much! Chad and Janee

Joanne's workshops are a must when visiting Santa Teresa and Mal Pais. Her classes are very informative and the foods we prepared were delicious. What is most impressive is her method of teaching and how easy she makes it for all to understand the concepts behind eating and preparing all of your own raw foods. I also very much enjoyed her gentle approach to eating healthy. Her classes are not an extreme "health nut" course. Instead it is a welcoming invitation into the world of raw foods and she explains in great detail how to best incorporate raw foods into your own daily life. She makes it look easy, because it is easy and fun to prepare raw foods provided you are given a strong foundation on how to start. Joanne delivers just that! A strong foundation for getting started including take home materials on the necessary tools and all of the delicious recipes we made that day. I highly recommend taking her workshops and look forward to continuing my raw foods education with Joanne as my teacher. Thanks for a lovely, fun, informative morning!
