The Farm team helps guests in determining their ideal body state and defining a series of fitness goals that can be achieved in a sustainable way. It includes fitness sessions with a personal trainer, combined with treatments to break down fat and other toxic elements in the body.
Weight Management, Diabetes Prevention & Heart Health

The Farm’s 6-night, 7-day stay; consists of diagnostics, detoxification, a nutritional program to rejuvenate the body at a cellular level, thermal and spa treatments, physical exercise and psycho-emotional sessions to learn natural ways to develop a healthy lifestyle. Our therapies help the body give up excessive fat cells where toxins are deposited, by cleansing the internal organs, with particular attention to the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs and skin.
The Farm’s extensive programs include an enzyme-rich diet that allows the various organ systems to rest and recover, resulting in improved absorption and metabolism, a thermal spa to take away the effects of muscle tension and stress, and breathing exercises and mindful meditation like yoga designed to mobilize stagnant unhealthy gasses trapped in the digestive system.

Pain Management & Mental Health
The Farm at San Benito offers the PAIN MANAGEMENT & Mental Health program as your first option for non-surgical neck, shoulder and back pain without using drugs.

The Farm embraces a holistic approach to pain management, because pain is not just of a physical origin. Pain has psycho-socio-emotional components that impacts the physical body. Chronic pain specially does have its deeper roots which can be accessed through the mind, whether conscious or subliminal. At The Farm, our goal is to provide enough pain relief to be able to actively perform daily activities, prevent further injury or stress and to be able to maintain an ability to function adequately at home and at work.
On the other hand, some pains are not physical in nature. But debilitating enough to prevent a person from functioning optimally both in personal and social spheres in everyday life. The Farm has a way of discharging emotional voltage of a traumatic experience or freeing someone from some form of phobia. The Farm team of psychologists and doctors trained in mental health can assess and determine the nature of the condition and from there, prescribe the best approach and with loving warmth, accompany you through your journey towards in attaining a life of joy and fulfillment.

The Five Pillars of The Farm
Diagnose
The first step in every retreat is diagnosis. The Farm believes that one size does not fit all, every program is made personal through a meticulous diagnosis. The early stage of the retreat begins with an integrative medical consultation, mental health and behavioral medicine consultation, body composition analysis, nutritional assessment, fitness assessment and needs-based choices of brain biofeedback, core nutrient and metabolic test, blood chemistry, and comprehensive digestive stool analysis.
Cleanse
The next step is to get rid of any unwanted toxins through a deep cleanse from the body. This phase includes procedures geared towards internal organ cleansing of the colon, kidneys, liver, lungs, and skin. Creating quality space is imperative as a vessel for the new things you want for your life be this fresh or dynamic life experiences or health goals. This is achieved through medical management of mental and emotional concerns through psychoemotional clearing and neurogenic release. Included in The Farm’s extensive detox are steam and sauna therapy, detoxifying body scrubs, thermal therapy and hydrotherapy.
Nourish
Once the body is purified, it’s time to nourish it with the right nutrients, procedures, and overall healing environment. At this stage of the retreat, an enzyme–rich vegan cuisine is introduced as well as fibre-rich cleansing drinks, and the many benefits of Virgin Coconut
Oil. The guest undergoes nutritional infusion therapy and additional nutritional support (supplements). Harmonising the guest’s energy level also plays an important role in the retreat which is why energy work like Craniosacral therapy, Reiki, and Jin Shin Jyutsu are highly recommended.
