“Hi everyone. I am Vahalia and I am a resident of the lovely Island of Tobago. I am sharing with you an experience that I hope will be of value to you and start you off in a good direction.

I was experiencing physical symptoms which health providers believed were stress related. Interventions seemed to have failed. However, I knew I needed to de-stress and find healing for my body, mind and soul.

Therefore, I submitted myself for admission to an alternative health care facility that a friend told me about, called Swift International Ltd Lifestyle Center, located in the east of Tobago.

This center embraces the principles included in the well-known acronym NEW START: Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air (fresh), Rest, and Trust in God. The activities included therapies and education which assisted in de-stressing while at the same time, developing stress management techniques to promote and maintain a healthy lifestyle.”

“At this center, there is a staff of pleasant and caring people, all of whom contributed to my stay with experiences I will always remember.

The cooks carefully selected menus everyday which were nutritious, delicious and attractive. It was always served with a smile. I was well fed.

The manager/owner was very polite and helpful. She also carried out the role of counselor/advisor. She was empathetic, understanding and focused in that role. I discovered ways to manage my thoughts—putting aside negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones.

“All in all, I am truly blessed through this entire experience and I invite you to give yourself a ‘Body Holiday’ too. Thank you Swift International Ltd Lifestyle Center (Majuba Hill) team.”
