What is a Nourishment Cleanse™?
The Nourishment Cleanse is a gentle, food-based detoxification program that is a tune-up for your body, mind, and spirit.
Did you know that in a lifetime, you’ll consume about 60,000 pounds of food? That’s about the weight of six elephants! It is estimated that the average American consumes over 100 pounds of refined sugar and 55 pounds of fats and oils per year in the form of soda pop, gum, candy, potato chips, corn chips, popcorn, pretzels, donuts, pastries, cakes and cookies, and ice cream. And then there's the 4 billion pounds of addictives, pesticides, and herbicides dumped onto our foods each year...
With all that we ingest, it’s a good idea to periodically cleanse, to give the body the loving attention, rest, and vital nutrients it needs to restore itself. This mini-retreat allows you to eliminate the accumulated waste matter and toxins that contribute to so much physical and mental illness in this country.
Common symptoms of toxicity that can significantly improve with cleansing:
- Addictions (cigarettes, caffeine, sugar, junk food)
- Allergies (food and seasonal)
- Cravings (sugar, caffeine, junk food)
- Depression, anxiety, hopelessness
- Digestive problems (bloating, gas, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome)
- Dull skin, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions
- Fatigue, lethargy, sluggishness
- Lack of concentration, attention deficit and hyperactivity
Curious about your toxicity level? Fill out a Detoxification Questionnaire and find out your toxic load. On average, cleanse participants reports a 70 to 85% improvement on their symptoms!!

Client Testimonials:
"I did a 7-day facilitated group cleanse with Ying and it was awesome. I was kinda nervous about the whole idea of a cleanse - I had heard all the horror stories of fasting and extreme bowel movements. This cleanse was totally different - you actually get to *eat*, primarily organic local foods, and mostly fruits and vegetables with proteins and grains. After the cleanse my body felt clean and whole. Ying really made a difference with her thoughtful, genuine approach. I can't recommend her highly enough." ~ Natala M.
"I experienced a real 'awakening' during my cleanse... a new awareness of how critical food is to my well-being and overall performance. I truly feel empowered to effect new and positive changes in my life." ~ Patty Murphy
"I highly recommend a cleanse for anyone who would like to treat themselves to something just for them in a supportive environment. It had a huge impact on what and how I eat, and how I feel every day. It was great! ~ Michelle Czech.
