Pre weekend:
Before the getaway officially commences, we need a 90-minute session with each team member to construct their health profiles. These profiles serve as the cornerstone of our approach, offering an objective and comprehensive understanding of the biological makeup of each participant. Through these profiles, you will gain insights into both your mental and physical predispositions, Think about it as an instruction manual for your body and mind. These profiles provide a foundation for understanding your unique health needs - i.e. how you are designed to operate!
