When I signed up for the retreat at Baja Cleanse, I didn’t really know what to expect. I am a 58 year old woman, recently empty-nested, and the pounds and the emotional eating were just starting to get out of control. I felt directionless and cloudy-headed. I realized I needed help getting my life back on track. Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. I did a lot of research. This retreat sounded the most personal and the pictures looked beautiful. Well, Baja Cleanse exceeded my wildest expectations! I felt like I was Queen for a week!
Tanya was so supportive, knowledgeable and kind; and Rand kept me active with all sorts of fun water sports and activities. The house was supremely comfortable and beautiful, with many homey touches, lots of cozy seating and books to read, topped off with a gorgeous view and steps from a wonderful sandy beach. The challenge of a cleanse in such a beautiful place with such beautiful people actually became a lovely vacation. I want to do this once a year…. can I?!
Tanya listens with great attention, feels with great compassion, is able to penetrate beneath the surface, and reaches those emotional currents of vulnerability. She is a skilled professional who utilized her knowledge, gifts, and intuition to design a customized detox program for what my body and spirit needed rather than what I thought I wanted.
The tools gained each time manifested such positive energy and life force that my spirit literally got off the “proverbial couch,” and back on my path to healing, fortified with a new reading list, and dietary recommendations, that have had a profound effect on my overall well being.
Tanya has an outstanding team of professional collaborators who assisted in such meaningful ways such as the beautifully prepared nourishing meals, the powerful restorative yoga and breath work, as well as the amazing massages. The common denominator here is they all lovingly provided, in the spiritual tradition, “a laying on of hands,” which is exactly what I needed, and will be eternally grateful.
Tanya has tons of experience with cleansing and spiritual growth and has a great sense of what individuals need on a case by case basis. I’ve had more insights in the last 5 days about life, my own path and who I am deep down than I could have ever imagined. My spiritual growth and self love is beginning to form and I look forward to the coming weeks and the rest of my time at Baja Cleanse.
I’m grateful for the journey that Tanya has created for me and I’m stoked for the future. I haven’t been able to say that I’m a long time. I’m confident this will give me the building blocks to keep it up and achieve the happiness and peace everyone should be able to enjoy.
Tanya is very professional, down to earth and extremely knowledgeable about nutrition, health and cleansing the body. After I settled in we began my cleanse right away that evening. She explained everything step by step which made it easier the first 24 hours to drink the fiber drinks. 🙂 The food that was served was fresh, delicious and simple. Just the way I like it! Not to mention the fresh squeezed vegetable juices!
Tanya had a really well organized and planned schedule for every day of my stay. From the beautiful hikes through the desert, to the waterfalls, the most magical acres and acres of organic garden, her skillful massage and glowing facial, ionic cleanse, our nutritional conversations along with her guidance truly made this a well worthwhile and magical experience.
I left renewed, with fresh energy and positivity. I also lost a few pounds of course, which felt amazing! The cleanse was very in depth and meaningful on so many levels!
I am so very grateful to meet Tanya, she is truly inspirational! I highly recommend her program to anyone looking to reset and renew their health and well-being!
With so much love,

Besides of a pleasant “side effect” of shading off 10 pounds (5 of which was poisoning my body from inside for years!) I FEEL AMAZING! The energy is skyrocketed! Constant fatigue and tiredness is gone! Personal Yoga and Meditations, Massages and Facial were the icing on the cake, and all of these on the most beautiful beach and unbelievable clean water of the Sea of Cortez! Tanya is very knowledgeable, professional, fun and beautiful human being, who’s personal attention and example makes you wanting to take care of yourself. Hope to be able to do it again next year and I HIGHLY recommend Tanya’s Baja Cleanse retreats!
Throughout the week, we learned a lot about ourselves, as well as, how to start new habits to promote health and longevity. The food received varies during the week between delicious vegan meals and warm stews, the vegan meals are outstanding. The yoga teachers are also knowledgeable and the experiences will allow modification for all levels of practitioners. Between the cleanse, food, yoga, and your 1:1 time with Tanya, you are in for a real treat. She dedicates a lot of time to you and genuinely cares about your experience, which is hard to come across when traveling to retreats. She’ll take time to understand your specific health concerns and then addresses them.
We highly recommend the whale shark tour too! We would also recommend drinking that margarita you’ll be craving all week before the cleanse!
When my friend and I booked your detox retreat in Mexico for a week, I really didn’t know what to expect. I was a bit nervous. When you picked us up from the airport you gave off a great vibe and I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed! The one hour drive to the Casa was very informative and I had a great deal of fun!
My friend and I really enjoyed the Casa, it had everything we needed and it was clean, authentic and cozy! It was close to the water which made it easy to go for daily swim and chill at the beach. I still have a warm feeling when I remember my night walks on the beach – what a gorgeous moon-rise there!!!
Thank you very much for organizing all of the different recreational activities for us! Everyday we enjoyed freshly made juices, smoothies and food, yoga classes, hikes, massages and much more! A special thanks for the food – not only was it freshly made just for us, but it was delicious and had a world-class presentation!
At first, I was a bit afraid of the detox program, and those powder drinks were not easy for me to drink, but you brought me a different flavor and you helped me get through the first few sips.
Surprisingly I was never hungry, considering that we ate only one meal a day, it was very much enough, plus those fresh juices and smoothies were very filling.
Tanya – the whole trip you showed me hospitality and kindness and it was a great pleasure for me to meet you and stay at your retreat.
After a week in your retreat I felt so light and energetic, I also lost a few pounds which was not my goal, but I just got it as a bonus! My main objective was to reduce stress and relax and I greatly achieved both. Thank you!
A week with Tanya fulfilled all my expectations and more! Diet wise, I was introduced to a new way of eating that is tailored to the needs of my specific condition. I now find myself eager to eat the foods that are good for me and amazingly I am not craving the foods that used to be my favorites (dairy, eggs and fats) that doctors have told me to stay away from.
By day 5 on the cleanse I had a “breakthrough” and felt energetic and positive in a way I haven’t felt in years. Tanya perceived that a regular exercise routine would really benefit me and showed me a short series of exercises (3 minutes, 3 times a day) that has tremendously increased my energy level and as a result I feel more positive generally.
I needed a break from “doing” and decided to spend my week just “being”. I used the time to rest in the sun, listen to music, sleep, walk the beach or on desert trails, read inspirational books and learn new ways of eating and cooking from my two lovely chefs. I pretty much ignored my computer too. I also enjoyed several massages and a trip to a spa. The cleanse turned out to be an emotional experience for me and I felt totally safe and supported in expressing my feeling to both Tanya and her partner, Rand. Tanya was very flexible about changing my plan as my needs and feelings changed over the course of the week.
I have come home with an unusual amount of energy and a lifestyle adjustment that feels permanent. I am so happy that I was able to value myself enough to spend the money on my health and well-being. I would recommend the Baja Cleanse experience to anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life, physically, emotionally or spiritually.
