In this show, we explore the exceptional benefits to one's health and well-being of attending a doctor-led wellness retreat. I am thrilled to welcome an outstanding guest to the show, our colleague and friend in wellness travel experiences, Dr. Kelly Barnett.
The Women's Wellness Retreat founder, offered in partnership with Balance Medical Centre in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Dr. Kelly shares how a journey of self-discovery devoted to nutrition and well-being can help with creative growth and good health. Through immersive activities - Brazillian-inspired dance movements that sound like immense fun to wearing diabetic glucose monitors during her three-day retreats, Dr. Kelly teaches valuable skills to help improve your inner joy and promote your daily vitality in the long term.
"It's rare for a retreat to mix nutrition, health technology with C.G.M.s, creativity and connection," says Dr. Barnett. "No other retreat known in Canada has a medical doctor as a facilitator nor integrates physical, emotional and creative disciplines in a weekend of learning and growing."
Dr. Barnett is a specialist and board-certified physician in internal medicine (FRCPC, ABIM) and integrative medicine (ABPS) in Vancouver and runs group-based programs for patients with cardiometabolic syndrome (M.S.) at Balance Medical Center.
