This is the absolute best health retreat. It combines classes, heart (authentic), and true healing on all levels. I highly highly recommend Ann Wigmore Institute. It must be experienced. I personally have increased my "healthy" eating by at least 50% all due to Ann Wigmore's classes and experience. It is the best gift, especially as it is inexpensive relative to other health retreats. Your loved ones, if interested in health, will be very grateful.

This review is based solely on a massage and not on the institute. I have heard so many great things about the institute so I don't want to steer anyone away from that. That is why the 4 star review in lieu of what would have been a 1 or 2. The receptionist was super nice, by the way. The massage I had was last minute as my regular massage therapist tested positive for covid and had to cancel. I booked and prepaid for a deep tissue massage but what I actually got was a regular run of the mill Puerto Rican style Swedish massage. I had to ask for more pressure twice. There was no "day after discomfort" which I have following a good deep massage. The therapist was super nice but was not intuitive at all. She did not touch any area of my hips which is integral to relieving back pain (I was there for back pain). No stomach massage, no head massage, no jaw work. I've had hundreds of massages in my life and this was definitely one of the most unimpressive.

If you ever have the opportunity to spend 2 weeks at Ann Wigmore, I highly suggest and encourage it. Everyone who attends, loves it and goes back, sometimes year after year. This special place gives you the opportunity to relax, get healthy, learn about good foods, enjoy real nutrients, and appreciate God’s creation. I can’t wait to go again!

Best thing I ever did for myself was to spend time at the Ann Wigmore Institute. A friend and I went for their 2 week program in June of 2019. We were both turning 51 that summer and I was a sluggish 5'7, 220lbs workaholic. She went because of a recurring pre-cancer symptom in her gut that had her concerned. I tagged along with the hope to clear my head and reset my mindfulness around food and my body in general, but mostly to be there for moral support. I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I was blown away. We booked colonics (never had one before), and massages. We attended early morning yoga classes & drank super fresh wheat grass juice (which I never had before, and now I drink k it as often as I can) We took classes using classes on nutrition and how the body works with food and how the mind works with food. We enjoyed walks on the beach and soaked up the Puerto Rico sun. They prepared our meals, and provided everything we needed. Many classes were "how to" style classes like cooking & composting, etc. It was a really wonderful 2 weeks. At least 2 people in our class were there with really terrible diagnoses. After the 2 week program, their symptoms & inflammation had reduced substantially and you could see in their eyes and skin and stance that they felt so much better. One classmate was a huge skeptic to the program, sent there by work friend. He even skipped many morning classes, opting to sleep. By the 2nd week he was 100% committed. His whole demeanor had changed. I lost 20 lbs and a whole new way of looking at my health. My friend and I plan to go back someday for another 2 weeks, but in the meantime I learned so much and the reset for me actually did occur...I learned life lessons there and I tell everyone who will listen that Nutrition needs be taught in Grade school and High school. This is not a luxury spa (leave your makeup & high-heals at home)...it is the real deal with really talented and knowledgeable teachers. It is casual and raw and wonderful. Go with an open mind & heart, and be ready to find yourself and your health again.

The Institute is a magical place. What I learned and experienced there changed my life forever.

Great place to take care of your digestive system and pamper yourself. The friendly and knowledgeable staff will make you feel at home. I wish there had been a swimming pool to swim laps.

The biggest health hack available in this era. They are more thorough than the most expensive places that are waaaay pricier. Their food does not taste good because there is no salt or sugar. You want this time to be able to reset your organs. Gift your self this place, buy colonics, get massages and be strong. When you leave you will feel so elevated.

I love going to Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute every time I have an opportunity. It’s a great place to renue one’s body, mind and soul. I highly recommend going there for detoxing, learning how to eat healthy and prevent illnesses, loose weight without starving, relaxing in a loving environment and many more great reasons.

I have attended several times and highly recommend.
