FAQs

The Healing Sanctuary distinguishes itself from other programs through its unique Qi to Life program, which offers a full system reset experience that integrates a wide range of healing modalities, daily rituals, and customized practices. Unlike traditional programs, The Healing Sanctuary emphasizes a holistic approach by focusing on the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, and physical well-being, particularly the vital link between digestive health and overall wellness. The program incorporates evidence-based practices, such as breathwork techniques and advanced nutrition, alongside personalized care from a dedicated team of experts, including internal medicine physicians specializing in holistic regenerative care.

Moreover, the Sanctuary’s tranquil, upscale environment fosters a safe space for deep reflection and transformation, allowing participants to explore their challenges in a supportive setting. With a commitment to clean eating, experiential learning, and community engagement, The Healing Sanctuary empowers individuals to rebuild their lives, establish healthy habits, and achieve lasting sobriety and wellness, making it a truly distinctive and effective choice for personal growth.

The Qi to Life program at The Healing Sanctuary is designed for individuals seeking a transformative experience tailored to their unique challenges and goals. This includes burned-out executives who need to recharge and regain control over their health, professional athletes looking to enhance performance and recovery, young men in crisis seeking direction and support, and couples wanting to strengthen their relationship through conscious coupling. The program’s comprehensive approach addresses the interconnected aspects of mental, emotional, and physical well-being with overall health and sobriety, making it an ideal fit for anyone ready to commit to personal growth and healing.

The difference between a traditional rehab and a REset experience at The Healing Sanctuary is in the approach, depth, and focus of care. The REset experience—embodied by the Qi to Life program—is a full system reset designed to address not only sobriety but the full spectrum of physical, mental, and emotional health. In contrast to traditional rehabs, which are often cold, sterile, hospital-like facilities that house large populations of people and primarily center on treating addiction through detox, talk therapy, and medication, The Healing Sanctuary provides a warm, tranquil, upscale environment that fosters a safe space for reflection and transformation, where guests receive one-on-one personalized care.

At the core of the REset is a commitment to sustainable health and long-term sobriety. Unlike conventional rehabs that often focus primarily on breaking addiction, the Qi to Life program empowers guests to strengthen their nervous system, restore digestive health, regulate stress, and optimize their mindset. This holistic approach also addresses underlying issues such as burnout, anxiety, and depression that frequently contribute to addiction, providing a comprehensive path to maintaining health. By combining numerous healing modalities—like breathwork, cold immersion, and mindfulness—with advanced science-backed practices such as NAD+ therapy, functional medicine, and personalized nutrition plans, the program ensures a deeper, more transformative healing experience. Each experience is customized and immersive, designed to enable individuals not only to recover but to thrive in their everyday lives.

Breathwork is a practice that involves consciously controlling your breathing patterns to enhance physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. By engaging in specific techniques, such as deep breathing or rhythmic breathing, breathwork helps regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and increase oxygen flow to the brain and body. The benefits of breathwork include improved mental clarity, reduced anxiety, enhanced focus, and greater emotional resilience. It also supports better sleep, boosts energy levels, and can help alleviate symptoms of conditions like depression or PTSD by promoting relaxation and inner calm.

If you’ve never done breathwork before, don’t worry—it’s simple to learn, and we guide you through the process step by step. Breathwork involves consciously controlling your breathing patterns, and it’s accessible for anyone at any level. Even if you’re new to it, you can experience benefits such as reduced stress, improved focus, and a sense of calm. Our instructors will teach you techniques designed to help regulate your nervous system, increase oxygen flow, and enhance both your mental and physical wellbeing, making it easy for beginners to feel comfortable and supported throughout the practice.

Cold water immersion offers numerous benefits for both mental and physical health. It increases brain chemicals like dopamine and norepinephrine, improving mood, mental clarity, and alertness. These boosts can last for hours, and the rise in dopamine is much stronger than that triggered by addictive substances like nicotine or cocaine, without the harmful effects. Additionally, cold exposure reduces inflammation, boosts metabolism, and enhances resilience, helping you stay calm and composed during challenges.

Pairing cold immersion with breathwork techniques like Tumo enhances focus and creates a calm, meditative state. By deliberately choosing cold exposure, you can train your body and mind to better handle stress and build long-term resilience.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body that plays a crucial role in energy production. It reacts with oxygen in the mitochondria to fuel essential functions like moving, breathing, digestion, and thinking, similar to how gas powers a car. By replenishing NAD+ levels through intravenous treatments, it has been shown to repair DNA, protect brain cells from damage, reduce inflammation, and activate enzymes that slow aging. This treatment not only helps you feel more energized but also supports overall longevity and health.

As we age, our bodies produce less of certain hormones and neurotransmitters, leading to a decrease in vitality and youthfulness. Advances in modern science, including NAD+ therapy, now offer ways to restore these key chemicals. With its neuroregenerative properties, NAD+ therapy helps rejuvenate both the body and mind, restoring a sense of youth and enhancing mental clarity, energy, and overall well-being.

NAD+ IV Therapy is not a cure for addiction but serves as a natural treatment option that promotes brain healing at the cellular level, helping to kickstart recovery. While addiction is a complex brain disease often rooted in untreated causes and marked by high relapse rates (50-90%), NAD+ therapy offers improved odds for long-term recovery by aiding in the detox process. Though more research is needed on its impact, both patients and clinicians have reported remarkable transformations when using NAD+ as part of addiction treatment.

Unlike traditional pharmaceutical treatments, NAD+ is a natural component of the body, making it less harmful to the brain over time. It supports cellular regeneration and has shown neuroprotective qualities. One of its most significant benefits is the ability to reduce cravings associated with alcohol and opiate withdrawal without toxic side effects. After treatment, those struggling with addiction experience improved chances of achieving sobriety and leading a pain-free life, offering a more holistic alternative to medications like suboxone, naltrexone, or methadone.
