Testimonial

Intense and deep are two words describing the whole experience, according to Chris. He embraced every challenge he faced during the program and turned them into some forms of empowerment for deeper personal growth. Feeling disconnected, Chris decided to eliminate any distractions and embarked on the journey.

The supportive group and guidance from the Living With The Spirit team greatly benefited him. He felt a profound energy shift being a part of something bigger and getting to know the kind strangers he spent his time at the farm with. Chris learned slowly to shed his feelings of disconnectedness by learning to open up, empathize, and share his stories with his accepting group.

The healthy masculinity aspect highlighted during the program also helped him connect the two most important things that make him who he is, his mind and body. Different puzzle pieces joined together to create harmonious mind-body functions.

Through understanding our bodies and working with our emotions, Chris highly encourages those looking for an amazing program to join this retreat and find that connection with themselves.

Art, a financial service worker from Canada who struggles with a constant feeling of not being good enough despite his career success, decided to embark on a journey through a transformative experience at Living with the Spirit in Chiang Mai, Thailand. His main goal is to find his true purpose in life and what to do with it to make his life a worthwhile one.

In search of new experiences, the retreat was full of unexpected things that he learned to embrace and surrender to instead of fighting. The juice cleanse and detoxing surprise was one example of how he learned to trust and follow the process that cultivates and refines that fine thread, bringing him closer to finding his purpose in life.

As he recalled the whole program, the most impactful ones included writing a letter that led to an enlightenment process and getting his headshot taken, where he learned to find joy in simple things in life, have a little fun, and be comfortable in himself.

For Art, the program taught him valuable lessons that reinforce the belief that you need to be open and surrender to any opportunities the universe might present. Being closed off and afraid eliminates the chances of wonderful things you might experience.

Join us for an inspiring interview as Sarah shares her transformative journey at the farm. Immerse yourself in her experience of deepening clarity, nurturing integrity, embracing inner peace, and attracting abundance during her 3-month retreat.

Discover how our holistic approach empowered Sarah to unlock personal, emotional, and professional freedom. Tune in and be inspired by her remarkable story.

Working with Sara has been life-changing.

When I came to Living with the spirit I was stressed out, very angry, and sad. I couldn’t understand why and I felt as if everyone was against me. I simply could not sort out my feelings. I had no control over my own well-being, my emotions had taken control over me, and being happy felt so far away. I wanted to leave my job, my friends, and my partner. I felt so misunderstood and miserable. I just wanted to run away from everything.

With an incredible understanding of how emotions work, Sara has guided me so that I now have the tools for emotional freedom. She opened up my world and helped me face my fears. Instead of thinking about everything that is wrong I’m now focusing on what I want my life to be like. The relationships around me are now filled with love and not conflict. If conflicts appear I have the tools how to handle the situation. And I also appreciate what I can learn from my emotions and reactions. And best of all, instead of wasting my energy on frustration, insecurity, and anger, I can now use that energy to become more creative and happy.

Sara is so non-judgmental that I felt totally safe to show all of me; the ugly, the dirt, and the shame. That is one of the most important things with this work, to feel safe about the way I feel, to look at it and not judge it. Instead, be curious and see what it is all about. And Sara sees and has the knowledge of how to guide you in the right direction. Not judging, just asking and challenging you with lots of love.

To have Sara in my ringside corner is the best thing that has happened to me. The work we do together makes me filled with love and inspiration. I feel so much gratitude. For each session with Sara, and every day that I commit to working on myself, I feel how my world expands and I feel free. Instead of looking for the answers around me, Sara has helped me to find the truth inside myself.

As a coach Sara is committed, honest, straightforward, loving, and a true inspiration. Her ability to see things for what they are is beyond. If everyone had Sara in their life we could change the world. If you are truly committed and want to live your life to the fullest, reach out to Sara. She will change your life! Writing this really makes me moved when realizing all the fantastic things that I’m experiencing on this journey.
Love you, Sara!

I just completed 2 months of working remotely with Sara and Simba.  I am a completely different person than when I began!  I was suffering from extreme fatigue and chronic, debilitating pain. Within **2** weeks of the nutrition + detox program Sara put me on (high percentage raw food, mostly fruit + Dr. Morse tinctures), my energy was restored and my pain radically diminished. This was miraculous!  I attribute this to the healing power of the food and herbs, but perhaps even more to Sara’s absolute confidence in my capacity to heal which allowed my body to trust the process – to know that I could, and would, heal!  Everything Sara recommends she has done or is doing herself. She walks her talk every single step of the way. She is a Warrior of Healing. You want her in your court.

To support my transformation with Sara, Simba helped me with strength training, TRE & EFT.  Simba has a seemingly endless tool chest of incredibly effective modalities he has honed through his own practice that support the body in unwinding, healing and strengthening.  I would call him a  “Body Whisperer” because he creates a field of safety and unconditional acceptance that the body and psyche instantly recognize.  Like Sara, everything he transmits comes from his own embodied experience, and through his kind and loving heart.  Simba also did EFT with my 11yr old son, and it was absolutely amazing to see how my son responded to Simba and picked up on EFT, which he’s been practicing since.

Together, Sara and Simba create a Field of Transformation which awakens the Spirit to heal and team play with the Body.  They are completely, 100% committed to their own healing and evolution, and from that place, 100% committed to the healing and transformation of their clients.  In a world that is full of superficiality and sales, Sara and Simba are precious gems who live and serve genuinely from their Heart.  It is a blessing to work with them.

Thank you Sara for facilitating a warm and safe space. It allowed me to embrace my fears and difficult emotions while surrendering into the process. Our breathwork sessions helped me to open up to new insights and shine new light on old beliefs. Thank you! Blessings!

Taryn shares her transformational journey after spending 3 weeks at The Farm. As the owner of two flourishing companies, Taryn found herself burnt out and disconnected from herself after years of non-stop work. She came seeking a reset to get back to a healthier, more grounded version of herself.

Through daily breathwork, TR and somatic practice sessions led by Simba, Taryn’s body was able to deeply release long-held stress and tension. Private coaching sessions with Sara and Simba provided empathy and mirroring to navigate personal challenges. Unexpected modalities like sword fighting and bodywork proved profoundly impactful in confronting shadows around shame, guilt and vulnerability.

The weeks allowed slow integration between activities, unlike Taryn’s previous high-intensity retreat experiences. Opportunities for reflection and periods of stillness provided needed restoration. Group classes fostered individual journeys within a communal space. Through it all, Taryn surrendered to the process of letting her nervous system lead instead of rushing change. She emerged far more calm, clear-headed and confident in herself.

Though Taryn’s business responsibilities still required some work, the respite and coaching support greatly assisted her in smoothly navigating changes like an unexpected exit from her business partner. New clarity developed around priorities, boundaries and the next stage for her companies. Taryn felt renewed inspiration and enthusiasm for her work and passions. She embraced an opportunity to not only heal but grow into a conscious leader.

Taryn credits the customized retreat experience and ongoing guidance for the deep reset that allowed such profound shifts personally and professionally. She embraced new perspectives on managing challenges through presence over busy-ness. Taryn’s transformation through Living with The Spirit laid the groundwork for ongoing growth and her next chapter of thriving.

Sarah shares her transformational journey after recently completing a second 3-week retreat at Living with The Spirit’s healing center. Separating from a relationship years prior initially brought Sarah to work with Sara and the team. Significant changes occurred, but busy entrepreneurial endeavors drew Sarah back into imbalance.

Coming burnt-out amidst relationship and business upheaval, Sarah sought deeper healing and clarity on her next steps. Daily somatic practice sessions with Simba using breathwork and TRE helped Sarah safely release long-held tension and stress from her body. Private coaching with Sarah and Simba provided empathy and mirroring to navigate her specific challenges in both her business and personal relationships.

Sarah was urged to confront past wounds through unconventional modalities like sword fighting, unleashing unexpected emotional releases around the topic of habitual people-pleasing and boundary setting. Group classes fostered individual processing within a communal space. Slowly integrating insights between activities allowed profound changes to settle into Sarah’s being.

With reduced work obligations, Sarah took time for restoration like daily journaling and reflection, leading to a shocking realization of her depleted state. Through it all, Sarah surrendered to the process of letting her nervous system lead instead of rushing change. She emerged far more calm, clear-headed, and confident.

Though responsible for a thriving business, Sarah navigated work-life balance gracefully with coaching support. Newfound clarity emerged around priorities, boundaries and vision. Relational standards tightened as Sarah’s internal commitment strengthened. Inspiration for growth into conscious leadership brewed.

The customized retreat experience and ongoing remote guidance proved paramount in catalyzing such profound shifts personally and professionally for Sarah. She embraced a changed perspective on managing challenges through seeking bodily presence and awareness instead of old patterns of avoidance. Sarah feels renewed in pursuing ongoing growth and her next chapter of thriving.

Sarah’s deep inner work laid the groundwork for evolution and unleashing untapped potential. She feels freed to soar towards freedom and purpose, grateful for the impactful changes made possible through Living with The Spirit’s holistic approach.

Em shares her profound three-week retreat experience at Living with The Spirit. Her primary intention was to heal her physical body, specifically addressing inflammatory cysts that had required surgical removal three times. Em also aimed to change behavioral patterns, such as people-pleasing, which were negatively impacting her life.

During her stay, Em engaged in a two-week grape juice fast followed by several days of the Master Cleanse, discovering the powerful impact of fasting on both physical and spiritual levels. The fasting, in conjunction with the supportive environment at the farm, helped Em gain insights into her coping mechanisms and emotional dependencies, particularly on food and people-pleasing.

Em emphasizes the significance of the fasting experience, describing it as a catalyst for physical and spiritual healing. The process of stripping away unnecessary habits and coping mechanisms allowed her to create space within herself for deep introspection and healing.

She also highlights the unique classes at the farm, such as spiritual sword fighting, and the incorporation of practices like ice baths and saunas into her spiritual routine. Em expresses gratitude for the accountability provided at the farm, where her actions were mirrored, helping her become aware of and overcome ingrained patterns.

Reflecting on her journey, Em notes the profound impact of the farm’s environment, the supportive team, and the individualized approach to healing. She encourages those considering the retreat to approach it with openness and intention, emphasizing the life-changing potential of the experience. Em concludes by mentioning the ongoing benefits of practices like TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) in her post-retreat life.

Kim’s transformative three-week retreat at Living with The Spirit is a testament to the power of holistic healing. Initially skeptical but drawn in by the authenticity of the program, Kim embarked on a journey to address burnout, stress, and a feeling of emptiness in her corporate life. Guided by the expertise of Sarah, Simba, and Mark, Kim experienced a profound shift in her physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Her openness, willingness, and readiness to embrace change were crucial qualities that paved the way for her success. Despite initial doubts, Kim committed to the detox process, challenging emotional tasks, and various therapies designed to activate the body’s self-healing mechanism. The results were remarkable: a radiant, joyful Kim emerged, shedding the grumpiness and defensiveness that characterized her arrival.

The retreat not only provided a safe space for Kim to release traumas and past baggage but also offered a holistic approach that addressed the missing elements in her life. Somatic therapies, breathwork, and mentorship played a crucial role in her transformation. Kim’s newfound clarity, openness, and connection to her heart were highlighted as key factors in her success.

The testimonial encourages others to take the leap, emphasizing the life-changing potential of such retreats. Kim’s journey serves as an inspiration for those feeling trapped and breathless in their current lifestyles.

Magnus shares his transformative journey in the private mentorship program. Prompted by his wife’s interest in mind and body development, Magnus joined with an open mind and curiosity. He highlights the importance of timing in their lives, as they transition from raising kids to exploring personal growth.

One significant revelation for Magnus was understanding the importance of the nervous system in shaping one’s life. He appreciates the program’s unique focus on the nervous system, which sets it apart from other self-help courses. The practice of shutting down the conscious mind and connecting with the subconscious allowed him to discover the real self without external substances.

Reflecting on the journey, Magnus notes the impact on his relationship, the importance of balance, and the benefits of understanding gender polarity beyond stereotypes. He expresses gratitude for the personalized approach, combining personal discussions with more physical sessions.

When asked about the ideal candidates for such a program, Magnus suggests individuals who feel limited in life or seek a change, even without a specific crisis. Those who long for self-understanding and are ready for a new phase in life could find the program valuable.

In conclusion, Magnus describes his experience as “life-changing” and encourages those interested in genuine personal development to explore this unique program.

Tanja, a survivor of a traumatic airplane crash five years ago, shares her transformative experience after a three-week retreat at Living with The Spirit. Tanja’s journey involves surviving the crash, months of hospitalization, and dealing with chronic pain. Despite surgeries and attempts to return to a normal life, she struggled with inner conflict and physical pain.

After exploring various approaches, including painkillers and medications, Tanja embarked on a deep inner journey, starting with work in Mexico. However, she realized the need for a safe and alternative healing space, leading her to discover Living with The Spirit.

These sessions focused on befriending her body, making it feel safe, and addressing the trauma at its core.

It’s a lovely space you have here, it’s good. I feel really nice and relaxed. I enjoyed all the treatments and certainly the food is just wonderful. Thank you!

I visited Living with The Spirit after my brother committed suicide and I needed help to ground, to get emotional support and to support my over all health. I also needed support for emotional eating, moving forward with my life and to work on the pain in my hip. This is my video about my retreat at Living with The Spirit.

Proud to share a big supporter in my physical and mental wellbeing. Living with The Spirit – A big part of what they do is slapping some common sense into. Sports are a big part of my life and when injuries happen it can always be scary. If you’ve ever been suffering from an injury, then Living with The Spirit is your go-to. Their sports rehab support is incredible, kind, caring, and supportive. If you’re in Chiang Mai and looking for some support, consider these guys.

I just completed the Candida & Parasite Cleanse, which Living with the Spirit created. I began the program intending to mildly cleanse my body. I feel now much lighter and purer. I used to have bad cravings for sweets & junk food, but at the moment I have no desire to go back to them, and even after I completed the course I am still keeping my diet as clean as possible. The course is not only to purify your body but it helps you to transition into a completely new healthy lifestyle.

I was taking the herbal protocol together with a diet of mostly raw fruits and vegetables. The first week I had brown rice and steamed veggies but tried to stay as raw as possible after. I experienced some mild detox symptoms like a foggy head, lots of mucus being released from my body, and some fatigue. The Candida & Parasite Plan is easy and you have different dietary options that are all well explained, easy to follow and you could even do a water fast if you are up to it, to clean your body on a deeper level. Four weeks in and I have the energy I had when I was in my 20’s (now 40’s).

I am awake at the crack of dawn, have lots of power, and no longer feel that I am dragging myself through the day. Sara and Simba have been wonderful in explaining everything in detail in the four webinars that come with the program. They offer their full support and you can always get in touch with them if you have any additional questions or need their help. It has been a spiritually and mentally strengthening experience and a blessing in my journey of healthy living. I can highly recommend the program.

Living with the Spirit was a transformational experience and I will always be grateful for the grounded support that I received. Sara created a safe space where I felt nurtured and secure. She intuitively helped me along my detox and fasting journey, something I had never undertaken before, and had quit a bit of anxiety towards.

Experiencing that process while Simba helps you with your body is beyond healing. His expertise and techniques far surpass any bodyworker I’ve ever come across. Having been in several car accidents I have utilized physical therapy, chiropractic, massage therapists, reiki and any other form of rehabilitation I came across. Nothing compares the relief from my chronic pain management than what I found at Living With the Spirit.

I am extremely grateful to both Simba and Sarah for providing me with a safe and healthy space to work through some of my personal troubles. I had been experiencing severe insomnia for around 6 months and signing up to their unique combination of spiritual healing and physiotherapy sessions was the best decision I made. Sarah was lovely to talk to and I instantly felt very comfortable in her presence.

Talking to Sarah enabled me to realize some childhood traumas that I had not allowed myself to acknowledge over the years. Through talking to her, and focusing on the weekly exercises that she assigned me, I was able to notice some of my unhealthy thoughts and learn how to improve my thought processes. While working on my mental health, I also engaged in some physiotherapy sessions with Simba. Alternating between counseling sessions and more physical sessions was perfect for me. It enabled me to realize that everything is connected – mind and body, and in order to properly heal, it is essential to recognise this link.

Simba was kind, compassionate and I also felt very comfortable in his presence. I enjoyed the Reiki session, but particularly benefited from TRE as it helped me release tension that I had been unknowingly storing. After experiencing what I would consider to be the worst period in my life, I am pleased to say that my insomnia has gone completely. I know that this was heavily due to the tools and coping strategies that I learnt from my sessions with Simba and Sarah.

It has been 2 months now since my last session, and I continue to mediate and incorporate the mindfulness practices that they encouraged me to use. I particularly valued how Sarah and Simba incorporated Bhuddist philosophies into their work. I personally feel very aligned with this way of life and find strength in mediating on a daily basis. I am extremely grateful to these wonderful people and couldn’t recommend them more to anyone who is struggling with insomnia, depression, anxiety, eating disorders or poor physical health.

I recently left Thailand to focus on my studies, however I hope to return once I graduate. I will be sure to visit them again in their beautiful and welcoming home.

Sarah and Simba were the most important people in my journey of healing and growth! As a teenager I took drugs, ran away from home, became a criminal and so on. Years later I stopped and turned my life around 180 degrees.

As time went on I realized that I was still struggling to overcome the impact of those days and that they affected my present and future. So I began my journey of healing and growth through sessions at Living with the Spirit.

Over the last two years we have worked on taking responsibility, forgiving, healing, communicating, thinking and feeling constructively, staying present, asserting myself, finding my purpose, doing what feels right, and more.

We played sports, worked on my posture, healed sports injuries, did tension and trauma release exercises and meditation.

I can’t tell you how grateful I am! They have had such a positive influence on my daily life and happiness. I am very happy to highly recommend their work!

I’m deeply grateful that I chose Living With The Spirit to be my home away from home on my healing journey in Thailand. Upon arriving the first day, my immediate impression was a feeling of safety, ease and acceptance in the presence of Sara and Simba.

They embraced me with open arms and a kind smile throughout my two-month visit. Often we would chat casually about this-or-that, topics related to healing or sometimes not at all, as though we were old friends convening to catch up and exchange ideas.

It felt like family, a family with the compassion and experience to offer hope, guidance and support. Their healing center is a special space for rest and clearing. The necessities of a healthy and holistic life are looked after for guests so that they can care for themselves.

Living With The Spirit is a loving place. I hope to return to visit Sara and Simba soon

I have had a professional relationship with the team at Living with The Spirit for over two years. I am also a client. Sara and Simba are the embodiment of what a top level holistic service practice delivers. They truly meet their clients where they are at and build from a strength perspective allowing for goal attainment. Their expertise in holistic practice is diverse.

I cannot recommend them highly enough to any prospective business as holistic consultants or to any individual for services.

I was heading to Chiang Mai for a ten day Vipassana retreat and was looking for a place to stay before and after the meditation. Luckily enough I found Living with the spirit. Arriving there I immediately felt welcome, totally safe and taken care of. It was a perfect place to unwind; the treatments, the food, the house, everything adding to my wellbeing.

Sara and Simba are amazing, they intuitively know what you need and have an endless variety of helpful methods for any condition you may have. Living with them made me feel more relaxed, happier, healthier, stronger and more in tune with my life. Together with Eric, they are excellent guides in physical, mental and spiritual matters, standing by your side and showing you new ways of living. And Nuchie, with her sweet presence and great cooking. They feel like family, and I wish I could visit more often but it is a long way to travel. One day I will be back, and until then I am with you all in spirit.

I spent 3 months at the Living with The Spirit Live In Retreat and I have continued to work with them for almost 2 months for private sessions after I moved out. I originally came for post surgery physiotherapy due to a full hip replacement at RAM Hospital in Chiang Mai.

What does this place mean to you?
Before I came here I started to imagine what this place was all about. All I knew was the information and the pictures I could see on the internet. A healing place where I can do a lot of exercise for my surgery and some spiritual and emotional healing treatment. Then I came here and after the first few days I started to get the feeling that this is much more than I could ever imagine. It’s more like a home, and before I thought it would be more like a school. Like in Harry Potter 🙂

On my second day here I started my detox and my fruit diet and I started to question my choices and I wasn’t hundred percent sure. But Sara was doing the detox together with me and I started to learn more about the process for myself and I realized it is all about our belief systems. It is not just about doing what someone else is telling me to do, it’s about doing what feels right for me. I also felt very encouraged by Sara and Simba as they practice what they preach themselves and their trust and faith in the process and also their own results. They are living their philosophy 100%, which gives me confidence and makes me feel safe. This goes for the diet, the exercises and all treatments. Sara and Simba have through their guidance during my healing period become like my spiritual mother and father.

Why did you choose to come to this retreat?
At first it was because of my full hip replacement operation. I was told by my colleague that she had researched this place for me and that this will be the best place to recover from my surgery. At first my plan was to move straight into a condo and live on my own, but I decided to go with the flow and follow her recommendation. During the past month I started to think back about this decision, and what my life would have been if I did not decide to come here first. I can honestly say that I have no idea what my life would look like, but I know that it would be very far from where I am now. I feel the Spirit guided me here.

The first day I walked through the doors here I could feel the vibe. I am a bit sensitive to energies and once I stepped into this place I felt: Wow! And I had the feeling that I need to stay here and spend some time here to cultivate and grow. For the first 2-3 weeks my emotions were up and down and whenever I came back from my sessions I felt very grounded and I felt very at home. This feeling is very important and I feel there is a magic energy here.

How was your experience with the physiotherapy after your surgery?
I did a full hip replacement in March and the physiotherapy here with Simba has been perfect. More than perfect. Simba planned my recovery step by step and for the first two weeks I was thinking that maybe this will be very tough for me. Simba was very patient and guided me as I was learning things for the first time. It was like I was learning to walk again as a child. From day one and step by step he made me feel very safe and comfortable. And we just went very slow and smooth and I did not have any hard time. I think the whole procedure went really smooth and fast, because when I left here last month and I spoke to family and friends no one could believe that I could walk like normal in just three months. But actually when I left here I had already been walking for a month. I walked into the second followup appointment to the doctor at RAM Hospital without crutches.

Could you please share a bit about your experience with TRE?
I first tried TRE when I was at The Cabin and I only had two sessions there. At that time my hip was very painful so I could not tremor a lot. Even if I tried I could not do it. And I thought it was some sort of stretching exercise and I did not understand what was going on until I came here and had a private session with Simba. Then I experienced the real TRE and Simba explained the whole theory to me about what TRE is. At first I doubted it and about 30% of me was thinking if this really could work. But ok, I will try it and for the first two sessions I did not tremor much and instead it was a lot of thinking going on. I was in doubt, and I felt a little embarrassed and that this is not normal and so on.

But in the third session the tremors just happened by itself and Simba asked what I was feeling. I said that if I don’t think it just happens and if I think it is blocked. Through this I learned alot about how I can use TRE in my daily life and how it is connected to my stress and emotions. When the tremors happen it is really powerful and strong and you have to practice on staying grounded and staying in the now and not letting the emotions carry you away. This is the same as in real life when you are having a problem with something or someone and then you have to stay grounded to solve your problem. Through TRE I learned alot about myself, a very powerful tool.

Could you please explain a bit about your experience with Reiki?
I have heard a lot about Reiki before I came to Thailand but this was my first time to experience and receive Reiki therapy. The first session I loved it already and I could feel the warmth, the energy and the qi moving and it calmed me down. It’s hard to explain but I could just feel it. I still remember it was a session where I previously had cried in my room and my emotions were just chaos and then we did the Reiki. We started the session and Simba said that he could feel some resistance and emotions from me and then after the Reiki session I felt like the door was open. I could let out a lot of negative emotions and energy. Before the session I felt really stuck and everything was tight and I was trying to fight against the emotions. But after the session I felt relaxed and open and I could let go.

Please tell us about your new hobby, the ice baths?
I had never tried an ice bath before I came to Living with The Spirit. And the first time I tried it was during my second week here and I looked at Sara and Simba doing it and it looked really normal and that it was something I could do. And then when I tried it for the first time I was aiming for 3 minutes and I got in and the first 10 seconds it felt like nothing. But then my mind started racing, telling me to get out and that it was dangerous. Sara and Simba told me to breathe and relax and my mind told me to get out. The feeling was not only very cold, it was painful and there were a lot of voices telling me that this is not safe, this is dangerous and they are bad people. Why am I here etc, and I had no idea where these voices came from. And after the first minute I started to breathe and all the voices disappeared. The pain went away and I started to go a bit numb and became relaxed. The feeling was still there but the voices became more and more quiet. I could come back to myself and become centered again, and I could start to listen outside again and not only on the inside. First time I did it was about 2,5 minutes and then I got up.

After my first time I could not feel my leg and I almost could not walk, it was a feeling I had never had before in my life. I took a hot shower and after that I could really start to feel the benefits. Before I went into the ice bath my leg always felt super heavy but after I could feel the blood starting to circulate and it felt like I got a new leg. Then I knew the benefits. I could still feel a lot from the surgery but I could feel why this was used as treatment. I did the ice bath once or twice per week during my stay and every time after I did it I always forgot that I had the surgery. It was like I was lighter and the ica bath removed my pain. Since I came to Living with The Spirit I did not use any pain killers. The first night I was thinking about it but I just felt safe here and I was talking to Sara about it. She did not tell me whether to take medication or not but she recommended me to try to go without at first. I decided not to take any painkillers the first night and then I completely forgot about it.

How was your experience with the Therapeutic Treatments?
I really enjoyed the cupping treatments, I did it a couple of times in Hong Kong where they put the fire stick into the bamboo cup. The cupping that we do here is similar but I prefer the cups Simba uses that are made from silicone. I think they are more flexible and with the bamboo and glass cups I feel more pain. The silicone cup you can move around with the massage oil and it’s not a pressing massage it’s more like a sucking massage. You can feel the tissue and the fascia move and how you move the navigate energy and move the circulation.

How was your Detox?
The second day here I decided to go with the fruit diet, when I think back about this decision I feel very brave. This is something that I always wanted to do but I did not have the chance in my normal life. Going with friends to restaurants and eating hot pots and sushi, it’s really difficult to have a diet like detox. Here I have the opportunity and I felt like this might be the only way I can try this out. I think after the second week of fruits I felt my whole body was getting lighter. My heavy emotions were reduced by at least 20% and I felt younger. I know now that my body has improved a lot since my detox and I am much more sensitive to energy. After I moved out from the house I tried to have sea food once. I cooked it and the smell made me feel not so good. And when I ate it and took a bite I ran to the bathroom and threw it up right away. I used to love fish but now I can not eat it. I think this is because my body is still in a detox stage. After that I went back to eating mostly fruit and I feel much better and lighter again. Not only my physical body but also my emotional body. Fruit is fantastic! I also eat raw food, and if I compare it to cooked food I think it feels more fresh and more colorful.

How was it to work out while being on the raw food diet?
I was a bit concerned at first, do I have enough energy to do all the exercises if I only eat raw fruit? But, I realized that I was thinking too much. Fruit can be very energetic, and do not underestimate it. Maybe from appearance I look a bit more slim than when I was eating meat but the energy is still there and in fact it is more aligned. When you eat meat you might have bulkier muscles but the appearance is that your energy is slow. With a raw fruit or raw food diet you are faster.

In Hong Kong I tried doing deadlifts, I had my trainer but I had a very hard time doing it. It felt very tight in my back and in my shoulders and it felt like something was wrong. At that time I ate a lot of meat. But here I was only eating fruit, and we did the deadlift again and I listened to Simba’s instructions and this time it seemed so easy. It feels like it’s due to improved mobility and my body is more flexible than when I was in Hong Kong. And I feel much lighter, both physically and mentally.

How would you describe the emotional work that you have been doing here?
I think if you decide to come here you need to open yourself up, and trust. When I first came here I still had like 20% blocking inside but then one day after I had been talking with my wife and my family and I had a tough conversation, I came to Sara and I started crying. Then I started asking myself why I was crying, but then I thought if I choose to be here and talk with her I have to open my heart. And in that moment I decided to tell her everything, and then the energy just kept flowing and I gave my energy to Sara and she sent it back with support. It made me feel safe and now Sara and Simba are my family members and this feeling keeps getting stronger and stronger. And even now after I have moved out and started living by myself in my condo here in Chiang Mai, moving out felt like leaving my family. Almost like I was going away for University. And I have not had this feeling in a long time, so it was very important to open my heart and communicate.

What results did you get by being here?
When I started to live by myself and I had some ups and downs, and I came back here I felt wow this place is so important to me. It’s like home, every time I come here it’s like recharging my batteries and every morning I go to the Spirit House in the garden. Everything here, even just the little grass is living here. Everything is more colorful here than anywhere outside. This feeling is really strong with me and every time I visit the Spirit House I say please guide me when I am out there and can not see the light. Please guide me and remind me of when I am here and the light that I can feel so strong here and the energy that is strong here. Please guide me to recall it when I am lost. It is really important to me to remember that when I was here it was perfect and I need to recall it when I have a hard time.

Who would you recommend to come here?
Anyone! Hong Kong people. Stressful people.
If you are ready, you need to come. Listen to your Spirit. Trust your Spirit. If anyone who has the chance to go to your homepage and read this, then you are ready.

Living With The Spirit has been contracted to work with our MENA clients whose needs can be different to others. Simba and Sara, both understood the intersectionality that comes with this demographic and were able to develop customized programs to suit their cultural and individual needs.

Sara and Simba, were incredible with securing our clients’ confidentiality, and managed the fine balancing act of meeting our clients where they were whilst equally motivating them to reach their desired goals. I highly recommend both of them, and Living With The Spirit, as they have been incredible to work with and were testament to our clients’ recovery.

I had many 1-2-1 sessions with Simba to keep my body in working order so I could train and compete in triathlons. Without him my body would surely have failed me. Not only is Simba a great body worker he and his partner Sara are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The friendly greetings every time and positive chats we had really made Living with The Spirit a special place to visit. An oasis if you will.

I also attended with some clients from a sober living house I worked at for some body movement, balance and exercise classes. As myself they all felt welcome from the beginning and had a great time learning a little more about themselves each visit.I couldn’t recommend Living with The Spirit enough. It’s a definite must on the list of things to do for yourself and your soul. You won’t be disappointed.

I was really in a desperate situation after having a motorbike accident and being stuck in a place with no physical therapy. Simba reached out to me after I made a Fb post. We had an initial free online consultation and immediately I felt that he understood what my body needed. He gave me a couple simple exercises to do to help relieve my pain.

We talked about me coming by for a treatment when I was able to make it to Chiang Mai. I never felt any pressure or obligation but instead felt it would be good for me to see him in person.

When the time was right, I stopped by his lovely Living with the Spirit location. I felt immediately welcome. My arm felt so much better after the 1 1/2 hr treatment.Sure, it wasn’t always pleasant when he was working on my shoulder but I knew that he knew what he was doing. After being home for a few weeks, many hours from LwtS, I realized that my body needed more intensive therapy to fully heal. So after more discussion, without feeling any pressure, I decided to come for a week.

It was a GREAT decision. I had such a good time, getting 2 treatments a day, doing a cleanse for 5 days, feeling so supported in my healing process. Sara always made sure that my fasting drink was ready for me.
The staff at the house was so lovely and always full of smiles.
I really enjoyed my week there. I can’t wait to tell more people about it!

Now, after the time, I’m still doing the exercises that were given to me to help regain full movement in my body.
Simba really knows what he’s doing. So does Sara. 5 star recommendation!!

I cannot recommend Simba and Sara enough. Their philosophy, loving approach and knowledge create a wonderful safe space and if you get the chance to stay with them, amazing food, energy and comfortable accommodation! They inspired me to make changes I didn’t even know I wanted to make. Real angels in this world.

My partner wanted a retreat to kick start some meaningful change after hitting a wall in her (our) development – mentally, physically and spiritually. She researched several places and after speaking to them decided that this was the place to stay for 2 weeks. I went to support her at a time when I didn’t think I could take time away from my other life activities. In 4 short days they changed my life.

I am a stubborn man. Open to change but it takes a lot to get my guard down and make significant change in my life. I was hoping for it, but still facing blocks that keep me in my usual routine. The initiation was great, the comprehensive induction form not only showed their attention to detail but through the questions showed the scale of what I have not been focusing on.

I agreed to do a detox with Sara and ended up on it for about 6 weeks, 3 months later I am still keeping up most of the habits but with corona and travel it’s not been feasible to keep it up. But I will return to it as soon as I can because it has changed my relationship to my body forever. The enthusiasm, knowledge and comradery behind the detox is what made me progress and keep at it.

The physical sessions and workshops with Simba were fantastic. He creates an incredibly safe space, underlined by extensive knowledge across multiple practices and a philosophy that allows emotional release and trauma recovery in a powerful way. I’m just sad that I didnt get more sessions with him, but he designed a series of activities that I can do daily to extend my flexibility, mobility and fitness. Wonderful stuff!

Since my partner and I have also come back and done his cupping and deep tissue massage course, which were great! I’ve always wanted to learn and in a short time I feel more confident than ever before to deliver both with powerful results. Much to my partners’ joy!

My mind was clearer and my body has never felt better. With some advice from her brother Eric, I have continued this work and learnt to remove multiple spirits from my mind, body and soul and continue to feel better and better. I never thought this would be an obstacle. I will forever be grateful for the safe space that they held, the sharing of their own journey and their attitude and commitment to supporting people around them.

A few weeks ago I attended a cupping course with Simba and Sara. They have created such a beautiful space called “Living with The Spirit”. Both Sara and Simba are extremely caring and knowledgeable. They definitely have the ability to hold space for others while creating a safe container for healing. The rose water was Amazing, and the class has been extremely beneficial in so many ways. Cupping has become one of my favorite new modalities and I have already seen results. Thanks Simba & Sara! I look forward to doing some more work with you guys in the future.

First and foremost, Thank you.

I felt valued as part of the temporary family Sara and Simba create and host in their home. I felt valued as part of a giving and receiving process – I was receiving the retreat time, the healing, listening, guiding, facilitating that Sara and Simba offered me. At the same time I was a building block in their business and practice. This felt truly nourishing in both ways; for them and their practice and me and my journey – balanced all round.

I felt cared for from the first moment, their patience, in allowing decisions and realities to unfold. In the silence of time and space. I felt cared for by the beautiful space they created and offered me to be in. By the nourishing fruit shakes and medicinal foods they offer. By the respect of all those around. I felt cared for by how Sara asked me ‘how I am doing’, casually in the kitchen/household, relinquishing the nervousness of myself to speak out how I am feeling if I hadn’t had a prompt – It really helps to be asked.

I felt cared for by being allowed the space and time to use for quiet, meditative, reflective time. With no pressure or any expectation to do any more than this work I came here for. I felt no judgment. Just an allowance.

I felt welcomed by them both with the opening chat to touch base on expectations/desires/intentions for the stay. I felt welcomed with the watermelon they offered me as I arrived. I felt truly welcomed into the home, as if the space was ready and waiting for me since the moment I had decided to come…maybe even before then…

I felt a calm vibe. A clean vibe. A neutral vibe. A healing vibe. A sunny vibe. A safe vibe. A secure vibe. A patient and non judgemental vibe. This is a safe zone, within the busy-ness of Chiang Mai. Where and when I needed to step away from the fast pace, here I could feel safe, secure and nice within the ‘walls’ of the space and the surrounding neighborhood too. Even though the Chiangmai International airport is never out of ear shot in the city, Living With The Spirit emitted the vibe of a Zen Garden.

As I board my plane to Nepal, even though I left Living with the Spirit 1 month ago, I feel my extended retreat has just now transitioned into a really new thing. Living with the Spirit came with me to Doi Saket, and even further you’ll be with me, still, in Nepal. Thank you for these teachings. I’m feeling strong and positive.

So happy to have found each other. Let goodness, learning, growth, presence, understanding, bodily awareness continue to fuel our lives!

When I arrived at Living with The Spirit and started to work with Sara & Simba my life was very messy. I felt that many things in my life was very unclear in multiple aspects. I was struggling with my professional life, my social life, my relationships with friends and boyfriend and my family relationships. Nothing was very clear to me at that point and very energy draining.

What helped me the most was to understand and manage social interactions, boundaries and time management, and why it is important to manage them in order to become stronger and have more energy for the things I was to do in life. For me – meeting the both of you was eye opening on many levels and especially in the fact that I need to be more diligent with my social interactions. You helped me in a way to build trust in myself, how to take care of myself and give me self value and you also taught me about self worth. How to preserve myself to be out of the social scenery and you’ve given me tips, tools and advice on how to be more aware about what is going on and to respect and trust my decisions.

I also had a lot of skin issues. Many previous medicines and consultations with doctors didn’t help me with my skin problems while after you met me and gave me some advice about my lifestyle helped my skin problems a lot.

You also helped me a lot with your nutrition guidelines and my diet is now completely changed and much more healthy than before. You showed me variety and you advised me to try many different things and I have incorporated everything in my daily diet now.

Living withThe Spirit is a safe place where I can be who I am with the good and the bad and there is no judgment on either one. You always give me my space and don’t take it personal when I need to work on my things. You manage to hold space without me feeling I am in the way and without you getting offended about what I need to work through regarding my problems or my past. This I find very special.
This has also been a great mirror to me of how to navigate and how to be around other people.

I am so lucky to have met you and this has been a great step in my life

I want to take a moment to express my sincerest appreciation and inner thoughts for all that Living With The Spirit is as a wellness haven and all that you gave as two wonderful spirits sharing your space for the well-being of others.

My recent stay was amazing from comfortable accommodations to a complete wellness package. I came for one thing and left with so much more. Each session with Simba cleared negative energy and helped my body to experience deep healing. What is most amazing is that I arrived with puffiness under my eyes that I was certain would need surgery since I’ve tried everything, so I thought. What I hadn’t tried was changing my diet according to Sara. The scrumptious meals prepared and the recommended fasting minimized the appearance of bags under my eyes within a week. And, the time spent with Eric will be treasured as we connected on a divine spiritual level.

The entire Living With The Spirit team revealed many ways in which I could heal my body naturally and with practicality to be quite honest. The things that I brought back with me are easy practices that I’ve been able to incorporate immediately and on a daily basis. Unlike many places that promote wellness, you can truly boast that you create measurable results.

Thank you so much for your hospitality, attentiveness and genuine concern for my well-being. I learned a lot in a short period of time, but the depth of knowledge gained will last a lifetime. There was truly a mind, body and spirit connection!

I have spent the last seven and a half months living at “Living with the Spirit”. When I first arrived, I had spent over seven years and thousands of dollars trying to regain my health and to feel good. In spite of working with 4 nutritional specialists, trying numerous diets, taking over $500 a month on “designer supplements”, going to dozens of doctors and alternative healers, I was not improving and I was only feeling more hopeless and depressed. I was ready to totally give up.

Before I came to Living with the Spirit, I had been searching for a center where I could do a totally raw fruit diet in Mexico and Southeast Asia. I was looking for a center such as this, but could not find one that I felt good about. I knew that if I tried to start and continue a totally raw fruit diet on my own, I wouldn’t make it.

When I met Sara and Simba, I knew that I had found what I was looking for. The time I spent with Sara and Simba was very challenging at first. I had been living on a standard western diet high in meat, dairy and wheat for all my life and drinking coffee, eating sugar and processed foods also. When I moved into Living with the Spirit, I gave it all up the day I moved in.

I totally transitioned to a totally raw fruit diet in one week and gave up coffee at the same time. When you go from a standard diet to totally raw fruit, it brings up a lot of really painful old emotions and at times it can be overwhelming. Many days I just stayed in bed except to eat and go to the bathroom and some days, getting a massage was the only thing that got me through. Under Simba’s guidance I started working out over an hour a day. Under Sara’s guidance, I learned about nutrition and raw fruit.

Sara and Simba were very helpful and supportive when I really needed the support. They helped me get through this at times very challenging journey. They are very compassionate and genuinely care about helping people that come to them. They truly walk the walk to restoring health and well being on all levels.

The healing I have experienced while here was a very deep healing on all levels of mind, body and spirit. I have learned to really start living in the moment and start doing things that I really love to do as an important part of my healing journey. I have also learned to choose to be happy in this moment in spite of how I feel or what is going on in my life. I have learned to be very grateful for my amazing life and for this opportunity.

About one month ago, I started feeling better than I have felt in a long time physically and emotionally. My brain fog has decreased over 70% and my happiness has increased over 80%. I am so grateful, because, after almost giving up hope of ever feeling better, I can finally put this search for healing to bed and start living a life that I love and saving a ton of money.

I am leaving Living with the Spirit in a few days feeling so much better and more optimistic about my life and my future. I am moving to a small fishing village on the coast of the gulf for Thailand. It is paradise, with the ocean, miles of quiet beaches, islands, and surrounded by mountains. I will continue my raw fruit diet and my healing journey there and I am really excited. I know that I am ready for this new chapter in my life and I am so grateful for the time I spent at Living with the Spirit and Sara and Simba for all the help and guidance I have received. I can finally say I am living my dream.

We also received this update from Steve one month after him checking out from the house:

“Dear Sara and Simba:

I wanted to write to you and tell you just how much I appreciate both of you for all you did for me. In some ways, you saved my life.
When I first came up to Chiang Mai and met you, I was tired, in pain, discouraged, depressed and feeling hopeless. I wasn’t happy about myself, my life or my future. I had practically given up on the idea of ever feeling good again.

You talked to me, invited me to come to your center and participate in your program. It took a huge leap of faith to make that decision, but looking back on it, it was the best decision I have ever made.
Going through the detox process was one of the hardest things I have ever done on all levels and I know I wouldn’t have made it without your help or your support.

There were many times I just wanted to stop and go back to the life I knew before, but, because of your caring, guidance and sometimes tough love, I was able to hang in there until I started feeling better.
I feel like in some ways, you orchestrated me going down to Dolphin Bay for 10 days, because you knew it was what I needed.

When I thought about going, I had a lot of fears and resistance, but I really felt like I needed to get to the ocean. When I got down here, all the pieces came together and I could truly see and feel how I had changed and how I finally felt so much better. I realized that I could truly live a life that I loved.

I am now happier and at peace than I have been in years. Perhaps my entire life.

I so much appreciate both of you for all your help and encouragement.”

It all started with an amazing Chi Nei Tsang massage where the lady told me there were still things to release and the therapeutic work should be associated with psychological and holistic approach, that is the first time i’ve heard about Sara, Simba and Living with the spirit.

I was in Thaïland since a few months already to learn myself about massage, and did plan a trip to India a few months later for a yoga teacher training, having a very organized western approach of an holistic life at the end, and still facing some anger, sadness and self judgment deep within, and even more if i work with people’s wellness and balance, i knew i had to deal with my own since a few years.

Sara saw from the first moment i was way too “fire” haha and probably avoiding the deep issues, their approach with Simba was very organized, very analytic and at the same time very holistic which actually helps to deal with old patterns in a very efficient way, giving specific tools for everyday life and leading you to ask yourself the proper questions pointing where is the missing point. I didn’t know what to expect and actually they made me work on exactly what I needed to look at : my quality of life. And now that I’ve been learning Yoga philosophy I understand it so much. Healthy thoughts in a healthy body right.:)

I worked 2 month together with both of them with their very complementary approach and Sara had always been there as a coach and now a friend to help me get through difficult moments, she also leaded me and followed me through a detox program where i felt like never before and oh, they helped me to get back to vegetarianism, and be more truthful to the universe and laws of nature. I am very grateful for them and for life to bring me in their peaceful home and would recommend them to anyone looking to know themselves better, bring back energy, go back to the roots and find the love within. Many thanks and much Love to you ?

Sara and Simba inspire me to take good care of my body, my mind and my Spirit. I am an untrained, retired 68-year-old woman who has decided to become stronger and feel better. 
I have been joining their group workouts, taking private personal training sessions and also massage treatments. This place has inspired and helped me to start training in a playful way. I have increased strength and mobility and I have also lost 12 kilos.

Getting started was much easier than I could ever imagine, all thanks to Sara and Simba’s knowledge and desire to help others. I have learned exercises necessary to strengthen my hip and together with treatments I am now fully recovering. After five months I have learned to take care of my own body and I will continue my work online to make sure I stay on point until my return next season.

Thank you for helping me, always fun and rewarding.

I stayed with Living with The Spirit for 3 months. Looking back it’s hard to remember the details. Though I do remember that the trip was not what I had expected beforehand. All I can do is to sink into the moment and reflect on whatever comes to mind when I think about my trip back to my heart. I already knew Sara and Simba (or so I thought) the two lovely souls who are holding space for all who seek to develop their understanding of themselves and to heal on a deeper level. Who do you really know, really? Or do you really want to limit those you know by your knowing?

My trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand, was planned with the intention to grow and no planning can allow growing, therefore the trip was very much characterized by a big “don’t know”. The trip provided with many moments which was experienced with discomfort which offered an opportunity for me to ask myself “who is experiencing this discomfort?”. Every time I discovered that it wasn’t me being uncomfortable I could let go of whatever emotions arose. When asking such questions to oneself and reaching the conclusion that whatever stuff that’s not yours you let go of, you grow. You grow until the suit you’re wearing becomes so tight that you start to question who the tailor is. So you become the tailor yourself.

At this moment it’s crucial that your environment allows you to change, that the expectations of who you are from the people who think they know you aren’t too much of a burden. Sara and Simba didn’t. They were aware of the process and provided the space for the unfolding.

Now becoming your own tailor is quite exciting. Who am I? The question offered a too wide selection of suits. I could wear anyone of those suits. So instead I asked myself “Who am I not?” and the stuff started to fall off. I still don’t know who I am and maybe there’s not an answer to that question. Stuff is still falling off though. The lesser I am the lighter I get. “Heart work is hard work” was a saying I often came across being with Sara and Simba. Indeed it is a process of returning to the heart and although the trail can be narrow and emotionally challenging at times it’s worth it. Letting go of my emotions allowing feelings to pass by without me clinging on to them is a wonderful experience of just being in the flow of life.Thank you Sara and Simba for a life changing stay filled with love, compassion and forgiveness. Writing this I realize there’s a wish that our trails might cross again and again and again. Expectations and their attachments not allowing me to fully enjoy my gratitude, the beingness of life.

Ah, thank you sweet letting go into the vast don’t know.
