I just finished a week at Skyterra, and what a wonderful week it was!

The staff were top-notch -- they were warm and welcoming, experts in their fields, and provided the right mix of group vs. 1-on-1 instruction -- very hands-on with a personal touch, which made me feel that I was important.

The program was diverse, covering physical fitness, nutrition, mental well-being and health. There were many classes each day -- both active (I was doing something) and instructive (I was learning something). There was no push to "do it all," but rather to participate in the classes that made sense for me, and at my pace. And when I didn't want to do something? I could chill out in a number of places, including by the lake and/or waterfall on the property (both shorter hikes).

The meals were great, with 3 chefs on staff. All meals were made with fresh ingredients that provided the right balance of nutrients, and portioned to meet my needs based on my level of physical activity and metabolism.

The accommodations were great -- I stayed in a lodge with 3 bedrooms for 3 guests. Each guestroom was private, with its own full bathroom. I found the bed very comfortable. The shared space included a great room, dining room, kitchen and laundry.

I learned a lot about each aspect of wellness, and discovered that I have room to improve in all areas -- physical fitness, mental well-being, and nutrition, and that by doing so, I can improve the quality of my life. Now, I am working on incorporating what I learned in my day-to-day life.

I also learned the importance of stepping outside my comfort zone and being open to new experiences -- I was carried to places I never thought I'd venture!

We found Skyterra to be first-rate, personalized, and fun! The accommodations were great. As a couple we could have stayed in our own cottage, but we opted to share a house with two other people. Each house had a golf cart for transportation, although we had a rental car or walked. I wish we had known that bathrobes were supplied as we had unnecessarily brought our own.
The food was very good and we were able to watch some cooking demos. They were very accommodating with special food requirements. It was all organic, no refined carbs, lots of protein. We were able to get all the recipes.
Besides three meals, the days were broken up into 5 activity blocks where we could choose among 2-3 activities for that block of time. These included various intensity exercise, education, and meditative activities. There is hiking, a swimming pool, and lake.
The staff members are personable, knowledgeable, helpful, and always were available for one on one consultation. It felt like we were part of a family. We experienced a 24 hour power outage due to a storm and the staff didn’t miss a beat. They quickly improvised and the schedule continued as planned.
There was lots of planning for maintaining progress once back at home. It is amazing that we could enjoy documented changes in one week. We have done pretty well at home. We have maintained our new eating habits. We wish we had stayed for two weeks instead of one to further solidify new habits. We think two weeks would have been optimal.

I just returned from a wonderful week in skyterra. I wasn't sure of what to expect as it was my first vacation of this type. I really had a lovely time. It was relaxing and energizing. I exercised more than I ever have and enjoyed every moment. The staff were fabulous and were genuinely interested in each guest. The food was excellent and the dining experience was also very educational i.e. you could ask the chef any questions you wanted about the ingredients or preparation. The family and community environment really enhanced the experience for me, as I was there on my own. The location was also nice, especially if you just wanted to get away from the noise of life !

Thank you to the skyterra team -
