About
Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat is a dedicated facility that offers a range of medical retreat services, encompassing natural detox programs, supervised fasting, and wellness initiatives. The center addresses substance use disorders and co-existing mental health challenges, as well as autoimmune issues, cancer, chronic fatigue, diabetes, chronic pain, Lyme disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and eating disorders. Established in 2003 by Dr. Baylac on the Big Island of Hawaii, the retreat emphasizes natural detoxification combined with a lifestyle rooted in spiritual principles and wholesome nutrition. Dr. Baylac's practice is informed by her extensive background in psychotherapy, fasting, and Gerson therapy, positioning her as a devoted healer and an inspiring presence guided by her personal truth.
Recognized as a premier holistic treatment center, Hawaii Naturopathic conducts programs that prioritize biochemical, mental, and emotional cleansing through natural approaches, including raw food diets, juicing, fasting, physical activity, infrared sauna sessions, hydrotherapy, enemas, colon hydrotherapy, counseling, and mindfulness practices. The integration of acupuncture and massage therapy facilitates the restoration of physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Nutritional IV therapy is also employed to enhance immune function and support ongoing recovery. Each program is tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals and varies in duration.
Situated on Hawaii's Big Island, Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat enjoys a pleasant tropical climate with temperatures typically in the upper 70s to 80s year-round. The center offers two accommodation choices based on the specific program. The medical residential program is hosted in Hilo, while specialized retreats and wellness initiatives occur at the scenic Kealakekua Bay location. Aloha Wellness Inn serves as the base for the medical program in downtown Hilo, conveniently located about 45 minutes from Volcanoes National Park, which offers stunning vistas. The Luna Inn caters to health-focused vacations, wellness detox, and fasting programs, situated approximately 300 feet above sea level, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
