Hi everybody!
 
I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me through the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life! But with the best results I've ever had in my life I have to add. Am looking forward to my boyfriend coming there sometime this year and definitely coming back early next year if not the very end of this year. It was such an inspiration to every area of my life and plan to make it a consistent thing that I do! Your program was wonderful and have never met a nicer (and inspirational) group of people. I've recommended you to everybody I know, My sincere gratitude!
 
Oh, and Simon it would be so lovely if its not too much trouble to please grab a copy of those yummy recipes from there to make here at home. Thank you so much to everybody again..... Can't wait to see you soon!
 
Kind regards
Kellie Sanderson

 

Hi Patrick,

Hope everything is fine @ my favorite “Boot-camp” and you have nice clients?
I am back to work and i feel good and healthy! Again thanks a lot for your help and greetings to everybody...

Looking forward to hear from you soon that the new resort in Chang Mai is open and to get some pictures...

With warm regards,

Martina.
          


Dear Nino, Simon, Allesandro, Patrick and Boa,

Just a note to say a very big " thank you " to all of you for making my stay so pleasant and rewarding. It has certainly set me up for my new start in life both emotionally, spiritually and physically. I am determined to keep off the weight and having left you at 71.6 kilos I am now 69.8 kilos - yippee!!

I have not drunk alcohol ,no coffee, no fried foods, butter, bread etc. I'm drinking earl grey tea though!

So, Simon I would much appreciate some of your excellent Thai recipes including salads, soya dressing, prawn dishes, parsnip soup etc

Allesandro - My blood group is A Rh positive and I would appreciate the data you provide based on that info relating to food types etc.

Boa - if you have any diagrams on the various yoga and Pilates positions do send them on-i am doing my best to remember and i am doing the exercises every other day, swimming and walking miles and the inches are dropping off!!

Borneo was under water but the hotel in Saba with the oeranga-tang sanctuary was super and the adolescent oeranga-tangs were just delightful.

Take care all of you and once again many many thanks you have all helped me enormously

Best Wishes
Liz. P. London


Hello Everyone,
  
As my week in Bangkok will shortly come to an end and I will be returning to reality, I have been thinking of you all in Ar An Resort and thought it time to send you a big thank you for the unique experience of spending 3 weeks in your caring hands. 
  
It certainly taught me a lot and has been a life changing experience I will never forget.  I would recommend it to anyone needing to get away from today's rat race for awhile or with physical, emotional or other problems and will definitely return for another boost hopefully sometime next year. The saddest part was having to say "goodbye" to you all and leave, but even though all good things must come to an end,  I will always remember the attentiveness and care shown by all the staff for whom nothing was too much trouble.
  
I would particularly like to thank Patrick and Alessandro for their gently counseling, meditation and workshops (even though I did sometimes fall asleep!). I particularly miss the early morning walks and the games we played in the afternoon. Simon for the warmth of his smile, attentiveness to all our needs, guitar playing and singing, not to forget his dear daughter for entertaining us with her Thai dancing. Mel for the excellent yoga tuition (I can still do the "downward dog"!). The cook for the wonderful food which was so welcome after 18
days of fasting (mmm food never tasted so good). Moo for whom no repair or maintenance job was any trouble. The massage girls for their magic hands in contorting my body into positions I never dreamed I could get into. Last, but not least, Kay (not sure if thats how she spells it) for her cheerful, sunny smile and bubbly personality.
  
I wish you all health, wealth and happiness and will look forward to my next visit.
  
love, light and may the sun continue to shine on you all,

To the wonderful staff of New Body and Mind Retreats.  Thank you for guiding me on my journey of future good health and wellbeing…

It has truly been a remarkable experience and I will treasure the memories of this beautiful little oasis and the people who make it so! Your kindness + care are qualities I will never forget.

Thank you all again and may we cross paths in the near future.

I will keep in touch.

 Love to all .

Dear Nino and Crew,

 

How to say thank you for the incredible experience we all had in your paradise island?  I think best is to say we will never forget it… believe me we still talk and laugh profusely at our memories there… for who can forget my mother stretching with a fury on our first day of fasting?  Or her constant laud breathing during yoga?  Or my sister’s terror as she learned about the colonics?  Or my incredible skill at volleyball? J  haha… We had so much fun!!!  Every one was kind, helpful, constantly smiling, which I am sure beside being a Thai characteristic must have been a learned tactic as all the hungry grumps (us, the clients) around the staff often are nothing to smile about J

 

I am happy to tell you that my mother is now an ardent yogi, my sister kicked coffee and substituted with tea and I am making the extra effort to do more exercise and take care of what I eat (as much as I can in Saudi anyway J ).

 

Thank you again!  I miss all of you and promise to stop by when I return to Koh Samui… Please pass on my phone number and email to everyone who would like to reply, I would love to keep in touch.

 

Justyna Witczak.

 


 

Dear Nino, Ronnie, Alessandro, Simon, Patrick, Kae ..... and everyone at NBAM,

 
Back in London feeling a different person. Totally refreshed, rejuvenated and energized, externally and internally.
Everyone at NBAM has been so supportive and caring and made the whole experience a very enjoyable one. This is by far one of the best experiences in my life and one I will not forget and will certainly repeat. So don't go away because I'll be back!
 
Everyone has commented on how well I am looking and I feel great. Although this is only the first week back I'm happy to report that I am losing more weight and I am trying to stick to a healthy diet..... and the morning carrot/ginger/garlic juice is a permanent feature in my diet.
 
Alessandro will be pleased to know that I did not have coffee all week and keeping it as a treat for the weekend, I have not had any bread and only 3 glasses of wine (red) since I've been back!
 
I learned a lot, thank you all for your help. Without all of you the experience would not have been the same.
 
Kindest regards.
Catherine Williams

 


Dear Nino and staff,

I do feel much better all around (truly rejuvenated)....the whole experience was really positive. Mi liver, colon (i still amaze about all that stuff that came from inside) stomach feel better, I lost weight, also we made friends and I liked Thai people;

But above all I want to thank you Nino for getting me the prostate massager device....I began to use it on a gentle way and I did not get any improvements until I found more information on another website which recommended a more vigorous massage ,so a tried much harder and then all this white fluid came out and not just four drops (as I red on a website) but 30 or more.

I feel really happy for that because since then my symptoms have improved dramatically; I will do it again but they recommend a rest of few days; I will keep you posted..

Again, thanks  to you ALL. for your help.

Yours sincerely - A much happier and healthier...

Hi Nino and  Everyone,

This is Morrie from Australia, I have now ended my journeys and returned to work in Australia.

I just want to thank you so much for you dedication to run such a program that can actually help change peoples lives physically mentally and spiritually.

I have noticed quite a difference with my headache problem for the past few weeks but now that I have returned to work I can only think of somehow getting back to you to finish the job that we started. I hope that all is well and if by divine providence I will see you again soon.

Hello Nino and Ying,

Flight was smooth and no delay.

We enjoyed the stay at Ar An resort and the detox program.
We would like to thank the staff for helping us during our stay;

Rod, the security;
Sunny, the Thai boxer;
Simon, the bar singer;
the cooks, laundry staff, cleaners whose names we didn't take down.

Take care!

Nino, Jo + Team,

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to turn my future around.

I have a wonderful kick start in losing 16 Kg. and a clear reminder of what it used to feel like…light, flexible, vital.

Plus I have a roadmap of my own that is going to keep it going.

Many thanks

Malcolm. (Australia - March - 2006 - 3-week intensive care program)


PS: Hope to send you another photo in 6 months time with another 16 kg gone!
 


Hey Nino, and all the gang.

Just thought I would write now I actually have two minutes to spare to thank you all for an amazing week.

I hope you guys are doing well. I have heard from Deirdre which was great, she is still eating clean.

I have been feeling great since I have been back, my partner has said he has never known me to be so chilled out and much easier to live with - not that I was that bad, but I had my days! Not to mention that as of yet, NO PMT !!! I no its only been a month, but even so, that's good stuff. Also I have had no joint pains either, which for me is a miracle after 2½ years of
ongoing pain and physio-therapy so I'm raving about your place right now as you can imagine, but I put that down to K. Arnie the massage lady beating me up :-)
Boy she was a tough cookie! But all worth the pain.

Anyway, I do hope all is going well and see you next year, and hope to hear from you soon with my pictures etc.

Many thanks & Take care.

Sian


BIG THANKS! to everyone and new mind and body - although I have been away only for 2 days feel like a fat lass already!!!

Had a great time - you were all superb. And i am a great place in my head.

It's weird no one has asked me if I have had any bowel movements for 2 days!

LOVE LISA


CURED BY MY SON!

Isn’t fantastic……
When I look and read all the testimonials I know only one thing, today you can put me on the long list together with all those “feeling tremendously good!”

You just have to do it otherwise you don’t believe the impact of the program.

For sure I had some apprehension before I started this challenge.

I am a 63 year old woman and had a lot of health complaints.
To start I was completely out of energy, taking years of pharmaceuticals for hypothyroidism.
Having an auto immune disease and since a while "leaky gut" syndrome.
Living with overweight since the last 15 years.

After a 7 day fast, liver cleanse and a 9 day colonic irrigation, I feel as reborn.

Today (1 month later) I am still without drugs (pharmaceuticals), no leaky gut syndrome anymore, and having my thyroid in balance, the first time since 20 years.
40 years ago I gave birth to my son and today the same boy rebalanced my body, thanks to the program of which he is the founder.

I just feel great!
Everyday I coop with “la joie de vivre”.
I have always been one of your nearest supporters and certainly in the early days, but never had such a life experience. I always thought it was made for the others, till the day I took the challenge 1 month ago.

Thanks a lot, my son, from teaching me and the world your life experiences.
Thanks also to your caring staff, they are great each and every one of them.

With love, Your mum.
 


Hi NBM Team,

This is Arthur Silver who was at your resort recently.
I made a mistake of my flight time and had to make such a sudden run to the airport for the early flight.

I regret not being able to give my sincere thanks to your incredible staff.
I can honestly say I feel so much more healthier.

My boxer won a Arizona State Title two day's ago and I have such an incredible picture of me in the ring with all the fan fare.

I really wish I could have gotten my final results to compare to the first one.

I definitely plan a return the beginning of September.

P.S. Arthur is booked again for the 26th of August... (Remark by Nino).


Nino,

I left yesterday and that's your day off. I want to thank you very much for a real life experience. I feel so good it just amazes me. What you have created helps us to go forward with confidence to help ourselves. In this world, that's rare. Thank you for a great week of effort and results.

I like your plain good sense approach to healing and I could easily relate to that. ....no razzamatazz!!!
I'll think hard on your feedback and bend my life into a better shape. I hope I'm not burdening you by emailing now and again with a question or two.
I can't think of any now but you never know.

Keep up the good work, mate.

Yours sincerely,
Tony O'Farrell - Dec. 2005
 


Nino,

 
I want to thank you and your staff for a most memorable experience! Your staff is awesome. My 10 day detox program was exactly what I was looking for.  I spent quite a bit of time looking into many different detox/cleansing programs on the internet and your program seemed to fit my needs.  This was my first fast/detox ever and I am 51 years old!  I live in the U.S. and even though I had to travel quite a distance, I thought I'd take the chance and I must say I got much more out of it than I had expected!  I have been home now for a couple of weeks and still feel great!  I have much more energy and now... more information to lead a more balanced life.  I took advantage of the Chinese cupping you offer and the HemaView test and couldn't have been more pleased and impressed.  I can't stop sharing my experience with everyone!  You have a great program, keep up the good work!  Thank you so much!

Dear Nino,

I have to say that I've been feeling so much better in every way since returning, and everyone has commented how well I look. I really do think it's cured me of the chronic fatigue. I've been extremely careful and strict with food too, and it seems to be working. My main problem has always been keeping my blood sugar levels stable.
I think my week at New Body and Mind was one of the hardest things I've done, but amazing too.

Many thanks, and best wishes,
 

Ali


Dear Nino,

My Mum is doing really well and has lost another stone since being home. She is taking it slowly and going to the gym once or twice a week. Her doctor was so amazed when he saw her and has taken her off her thyroid tablets. She is constantly raving to all her friends about how amazing the time was that we spend with you in Koh Samui - it really changed her life.

Anyway, I would love to come back at Xmas.

See you soon,

Hayley T. (U.K.)


Hi Nino and the gang!

I know its been nearly a month since I came to your resort but I just wanted  to say I had a fantastic time. I felt really rejuvenated and couldn't believe I managed to lose 6kg in 1 week. My skin looks great I look and feel great, I have been trying to keep to healthy eating but you know how it is sometimes you just have to eat what you like without over doing it.

When I arrived back hope I came back to England so happy and full of life
and not the sluggish person I once was.

Say hi to Moo and Kay, K.C., Joe and Kuhn Phung for me, tell them I miss them!
I have missed someone I have forgotten her name but she was great I really loved the chi gung classes.

I'm sure I will be back!

Take care everyone!

Kind regards,

Diana.

 


Hi Nino!

I am back in the states and well on to my healthy life style. I miss the clinic and you and your lovely staff. I hope you are relaxing as you deserve to. I have been thinking about next summer and coming to study and learn from you because I know you are a wealth of knowledge. I am tentatively looking at mid June through September. Let me know what you think. Thank you so much I had an incredible experience.

Jenna.
 


Nino,

I just wanted to thank you again for the amazing program. I feel fantastic. I would also like to thank Paula for her help and support as I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. She was very professional and helpful throughout. Also all of the lovely Thai staff, especially Moo and Kae (the very thin girl with the sense of humor) and the chef who when I finally got the chance to eat, prepared lovely food.

I wish you every success in your future ventures and look forward to another visit.

Many thanks.

Claire Matthews (U.K.)

 


Hi Nino and Team,

I cannot believe that it is 3 months since I was in Koh Samui. Time really flies. I was doing really well until I went skiing with some friends in April for a week. But as soon as I got back to Hong Kong I started back on my plan again but have struggled a bit. I am still managing to maintain my weight loss but feel a little more sluggish than I did when I first returned from Koh Samui. I only wish I had enough annual leave to arrange another visit this year but I am afraid that this will not be possible, too many other commitments.

I hope that you and the team are well. I think about New Body and Mind often. My husband is amazed with the transformation. I think he assumed that this was just going to be a week away and that when I returned I would slip back into my old ways and end up putting the weight back on and feeling unwell again as I had for months and months prior to my visit. How wrong he was.

As I said before I will definitely see you in February 2006. To make it even easier you can now get a direct flight from Hong Kong to Koh Samui so no need to go via Bangkok.

Thanks again

Shelley
 


Thanks Nino, very much appreciated. Still feeling the great effects from Samui. Take care.

Hi Nino,

I had been feeling unwell for some time. Nothing I could put my finger on just general lethargy, headaches etc. After doing some research on the Internet I came across your website. The detailed descriptions of the detox program and other treatments available were very useful and started me thinking. It wasn't until nearly a year later that I actually decided to book. I managed to persuade a friend to come with me, Mary. Actually she didn't need that much coaxing she was very keen from the outset. I have to admit that I was expecting very primitive surroundings but was pleasantly surprised. I loved the environment. The bungalows are very comfortable and it is surprising how attached you become to your new little home. The location is perfect, quiet and serene I immediately felt relaxed. To be honest I do not think that plush surroundings would work. There would be too many distractions and temptations. In my opinion if you come along with an open mind and positive attitude you are already half way there.

I think your retreat is particularly special as you only have a small number of people at any one time and therefore everyone gets personal service. I was very nervous about fasting. As a person who usually plans 2 to 3 meals ahead I seriously didn't think I could do it. How wrong I was. It was actually much easier than I expected and I didn't really feel hungry at all during my 7 day fast. You and your team were always on hand if we had any questions or wanted more information which is very reassuring. You always took the time to find out more about each individual and added different elements to each persons program to ensure optimum results. I do not think that we would have got that care from any of the other retreats on the island. The daily activities are well planned and I loved the fact that no-one was under any pressure to join in if they did not want to. It was interesting to note that because of this approach everyone did want to join in and therefore gained maximum benefit from their program. Your team are wonderful, particularly Paola who is a gem. I was very skeptical about meditation and Chi Gung but once I got into it I found it very enjoyable and started to look forward to these sessions. Paola is a great teacher and brings a very special quality to your team and I am very grateful to her.

After 7 days I felt fantastic. My energy levels were back and I actually looked healthy. I had managed to get under 10 stone something that I have not been able to achieve for over 8 years. I have been back for a week and a half and have maintained my weight loss and have significantly changed my eating habits. I have not had red meat at all since I have been back I have cut out dairy and coffee altogether. So far so good. I don't have the cravings I used to thanks to your workshops which educated me more about food and the impact to my body. It is a lot easier than I thought it would be thanks to the 18/21 rule. I have received many compliments since I have returned and still feel fantastic and I am keeping up the exercise as I have more energy.

If anyone is thinking about doing a detox/fasting program I would advise them not to hesitate just book it. I am just sorry it took me a year to get around to it. This is probably the best thing I have ever done for myself. The good news is that I have now found your retreat and intend to continue to use it in the future. I will certainly be booking next year but plan to
come for a little longer than 7 days. Thank you all so much and see you in February 2006.

Amanda, U.K.

PS I hope that Jensi and the other dogs received their treats.
