Reclaim Your Energy. Reset Your Body. Redefine Your Life.
The Reset Ritual is an immersive retreat (in-person or at-home) that guides you through a transformational water fast, deep body detox, and reconnection to your personal power.
The Science Meets The Sacred
With over a decade of experience guiding clients through transformative health journeys, I’ve uncovered a simple yet powerful roadmap to true cellular renewal. Through the initiation of The Reset Ritual, participants will gain lifelong tools that foster exponential growth and lasting health transformation.
Our approach synthesizes ancient fasting wisdom with contemporary scientific understanding, creating a holistic transformation protocol that honors both empirical research and spiritual intelligence.
Does the pharmacy and food matrix have you feeling sick to your stomach?
Sick to Your Stomach? The Pharmacy-Food Matrix Might Be Working Exactly as Designed…
Navigating how to best nourish the body these days is like waking up in a nutritional funhouse where everything is backwards. You’ve been told to fear fat, count calories like a miser, and load up on “heart-healthy” whole grains—but somehow, you’re more inflamed, more fatigued, more bloated than ever. One moment, butter is the enemy; the next, it’s back on the menu. Red meat is a villain… until it’s a superfood. And let’s not even get started on seed oils, sugar substitutes, or whether breakfast is actually the most important meal of the day.
It’s as if the food pyramid was designed not to guide you, but to confuse you. To keep you obediently nibbling on low-fat snacks while your body screams for nourishment. And when you finally start questioning things—like maybe drinking a soda with added vitamins isn’t actually “smart,” or that a Pop-Tart shouldn’t count as a serving of grains—you’re met with a condescending pat on the head and told to “just follow the science.”
But whose science? And at what cost?
Trying to eat healthy in this landscape feels less like self-care and more like decoding a psychological operation. A slow-drip gaslighting campaign that leaves you disconnected from your instincts, addicted to processed fixes, and ashamed of your hunger. Until one day, you realize: maybe the problem isn’t you. Maybe the system is sick?
Exit the food matrix in one clean sweep. (Enter: The Reset Ritual)
The Goal of The Reset Ritual
To guide individuals through a profound reset of body, mind, and spirit—liberating them from metabolic dysfunction, toxic patterns, and mainstream misinformation—by reconnecting them with ancient wisdom, intentional fasting, and the body’s innate capacity to heal.
The Reset Ritual exists to help people remember that their intuition is their inner health guru—spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational. In a world overflowing with noise, numbness, and an overfed yet undernourished paradigm, the path back to true vitality requires radical responsibility. We are here to walk that path with you—step by step—offering deep support, grounded guidance, and the confidence to reclaim clarity, resilience, and personal sovereignty.
✔️ Water Fasting (backed by vetted research, guided by intuition, and experienced support)

✔️ Intentional Ceremonies
✔️ Gourmet Nourishment Before and After Fasting

Expert Guidance
Experience the best in experienced guidance and communal support as you realign with nature.
Picture This…
You’re halfway through your fast.
You expected hunger. You didn’t expect this.
A kind of strength starts to emerge — not from protein shakes or caffeine, but from deep within your cells.
Your skin glows. Your eyes sharpen. Your mind… is silent. Clear. Calm. Alive.
There’s a pride you haven’t felt in years — a pride earned by doing something 99% of people will never attempt.
You’ve crossed a threshold. And you know — this isn’t just about food. It’s about power. Your power.
Suddenly, everything feels sacred: the water you drink, the breath you take, the first bite of food you’ll soon prepare with your own hands.
This isn’t deprivation.
It’s devotion.
And it’s changing everything.
Is This For You? Let’s Be Honest.
It IS For You If:
You’re feeling stuck in your body or mind — like you’ve hit a wall and can’t find the way through.
You’re curious about fasting but know you need expert guidance, not a sketchy Reddit thread.
You’ve outgrown surface-level wellness trends and want something that actually works.
You’re craving a powerful container — one rooted in truth, transformation, and real community.
You’re ready to look inward, let go, and do the deep work (even if it’s messy).
You don’t just want to feel “better” — you want to feel alive.
It’s NOT For You If:
You’re looking for a quick fix, a spa vacation, or another “hack” to add to your wellness arsenal.
You’re unwilling to be uncomfortable — physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
You want someone else to do the work for you. This is not a rescue mission.
You’re addicted to distraction and not quite ready to meet yourself in stillness.
You’re not open to having your worldview — and your habits — radically challenged (and upgraded).
You’re unwilling to let go of the very things that are making you sick. (Food, thoughts, patterns, people — all of it.)
HEAR FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS
-
Do it. The Reset Ritual went beyond any expectations that I had. The fasting itself, the physical experience of not eating for five days, became part of the background very quickly. While my body was taking care of that, the real medicine was unfolding in front of me. The magic was all of us doing this together. So much of the transformation was in the laughs, tears, support and camaraderie that we shared during the retreat. It was a real come for the famine, stay for the friendship experience and It couldn't have been better.
