“Eating Joanne’s Healing food reminds me of our connection to our beautiful planet. Every meal a reflection of love and vitality, is better than the one before. Joanne’s food is an extension of her… pure, passionate, and connected.”

Although I have eaten raw food and have completed cleanse programs before, I was a little apprehensive to undertake a juice fast. I had heard great things about The Healing Cuisine and their programs and after receiving our first raw breakfast I was convinced that cleansing with Joanne’s raw food could be a delight in itself. Juicing, however, was a little more challenging but both Joanne and Kevin were there to offer their support and suggestions at just the right time. I quickly realized how it helped me to define and refine my body while providing all of its nutritional needs. The mental clarity, balance and definition I achieved was incomparable. I would highly recommend The Healing Cuisine to anyone visiting Santa Teresa/Mal Pais, Costa Rica.”

“I had heard some very good things about Joanne and was excited and really looking forward to my first raw food experience with The Healing Cuisine. What Joanne created was more than I could have expected, a delicious satisfying and enlightening meal. I enjoyed every bite with anticipation for the next course. Dessert was unbelievable, rich, decadent and healthy! Thank you Joanne, for putting us on the path.”

“Every time I come to Costa Rica I do a 5 day cleanse with Joanne! I feel amazing and light and everyone notices a glow in my skin. This year I did it with a friend and she loved it. Joanne paces it so well that you never feel hungry. When you come off it , your whole attitude to food changes. You want healthy and live food in your system. Thanks Joanne!”

“I know that eating raw is best for my health, but it’s often hard to get motivated to prepare my own meals.
Joanne makes it so easy to eat healthfully. Even a 7 day cleanse goes by effortlessly because everything tastes so fresh and delicious.”

“Joanne was my savior while I was in Costa Rica..!! I was on a very strict cleanse and she met all my food requirements while creating the yummiest tasting dishes… I felt so healthy and alive eating her meals… I wish she could move to LA and cook for me and friends… Joanne is also so informative when it comes to health. She is definitely on a path to healing through food and her perfect preparation of her dishes… I highly recommended her to anyone traveling through Costa Rica!”

“I am writing to tell anyone who will listen about my experience with Joanne Gerrard and the Healing Cuisine. First a little about me, I am a health food and cleanse enthusiast. I have been interested in and persistently, pursuing news about the newest discoveries in wellness for over 15 years, I have also been experimenting with my diet for as long to see what works for me. Early on I learned about and experienced the benefits of juice fasting. I have probably done one to two juice fast per year during this time. I have gone to spas to do them or did them for myself at home. I can honestly say that The Healing Cuisine’s juice fast cleanse far surpasses any other I have ever done! I just recently completed my second juice fast with Joanne this past December and I can still feel the cleanse although I was not perfect over the holidays it made it easier to get back on track come January, which tells me it was a very good cleanse. The reason I do cleanses is to center and reset myself and to support myself in my quest for health. I have never had such incredible releases in on any other cleanse. And finally I think Joanne is one of the most caring, nurturing people I have ever come across and this coupled with her extensive knowledge of food as medicine makes what she offers unbeatable. Thank you Joanne!”

“I had a very wonderful experience participating in the five day cleanse with Joanne. Having breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared daily, all-be-it liquids for three of the days, felt like being pampered and nurtured! Plus, everything was delicious! Joanne was very knowledgeable and informative about the entire process. I learned things about natural ingredients, nutrition and my health that I will cherish for life! Once I began the process I became a full believer in the benefits of cleansing. Much to my surprise I did not feel hungry to an uncomfortable degree. Actually, I felt quite proud to be doing something so beneficial for myself! During and after the cleanse I felt so vivacious, an enormous sense of well being and had such wonderful mental clarity & energy. And people noticed! I received so many nice compliments, that I seemed very grounded & present & that I was glowing to name a few! I also loved having an excellent excuse to nap in the afternoons! I truly only regretted not signing up for the seven day cleanse! An amazing detox experience that I will definitely do again!”

“I just finished a wonderful cleanse with Joanne, and my body and mind feel great! I didn’t think it’d be possible to do this without feeling deprived, but Joanne’s planning and care made me feel supported and nourished from start to finish. In fact, I already miss her yummy juices now that it’s over! I learned easy and effective ways to take what I experienced home with me so that I can live a healthier more balanced life, even with my intensely busy schedule. Thank you Joanne for helping me see how healthy eating can be a reality and not a hassle. I’m so grateful!”

“Thank you for a great experience in Costa Rica. The juice cleanse was fab and I felt super skinny in my bikini. Your daily deliveries to my hotel door kept me on schedule and very disciplined. The best thing, though, was taking your raw food workshops while coming off the cleanse. The delicious raw dishes were so easy to prepare, and even better than the cooked food we’d been eating! Since returning to New York, I’ve used your nutritional tips and totally converted to the raw food diet. I have more energy, my skin looks amazing, and the back pain I used to suffer from has completely vanished. Your workshop inspired me to change my lifestyle, and I am forever grateful.”
