How often do we pause to focus inward, to explore our natural potential, and to nurture our well-being? Nestled along the stunning Gulf Coast, Smart Healthy Lifestyles offers a unique and transformative healing retreat that promises to impress and inspire. Founded by Thomas Clay with Mary Beth Svatek as Executive Director, the two have dedicated over 30 years to studying and perfecting holistic approaches. These retreats are a sanctuary for those seeking a more natural way of living and looking to release what no longer serves them.
Mary Beth believes in a simple yet powerful philosophy: “Our bodies are healing machines. Give them what they need and remove what they don’t need, and they can and will heal.” This belief forms the foundation of Smart Healthy Lifestyles, where the aim is to help individuals tap into their innate and divinely placed gifts of healing and intuition. The retreats are thoughtfully designed to address a variety of needs, from working through trapped emotions and trauma to unlocking “natural hidden abilities” and developing intuition. Ultimately, the goal is to restore the
balance of mind, body, and spirit, allowing participants to embrace the natural gift of health. “Sometimes we have clients who are going through a spiritual awakening and find themselves needing guidance,” Mary Beth explains. “We’re here to help them through that.” With a deep understanding of the complexities of the human experience, the team at Smart Healthy Lifestyles works with clients who have stored pain and trauma from past experiences - pain that often manifests physically. By providing a safe and supportive environment, they guide
individuals through their healing journeys, helping them to uncover the root causes of their discomfort and facilitating profound transformation.
Upon arrival at a retreat, participants are greeted by an atmosphere of calm and love that envelops them like a warm embrace. Surrounded by soothing sounds and breathtaking sights of the Gulf Coast, individuals take their first steps toward an alternative approach to understanding themselves and their life purpose. This serene setting sets the stage for a journey of self-discovery and healing.
Nurturing the body is a central focus at Smart Healthy Lifestyles. The retreats offer a diverse range of exclusive experiences designed to support holistic well-being. Participants can indulge in sound bathing sessions, where soothing vibrations wash over them, promoting relaxation and emotional release. Guided meditation allows individuals to connect deeply with their inner selves, fostering clarity and peace. Additionally, expert-led massage therapies provide physical
relief, while hypnotherapy sessions help participants navigate through their subconscious, addressing past traumas in a gentle and supportive way.
The team at Smart Healthy Lifestyles comprises seasoned professionals with decades of experience in holistic healing. Their expertise ensures that each participant receives the guidance and support they need to navigate their transformative journeys effectively. Knowing that nutrition plays a significant role in the retreat, holistic meals crafted to nourish and energize the body are carefully curated. Every dish is prepared with care, focusing on wholesome ingredients that support healing and vitality. Moving through the variety of activities and therapies offered, participants begin to feel a shift within themselves. Many report a newfound sense of clarity, purpose, and empowerment as they explore their developing gifts. The retreat offers a sense of community that participants
take with them for a lifetime. This experience is more than a relaxing retreat, it's a truly transformative experience that encourages and empowers those to take back control of their lives and health. For anyone seeking to tap into their natural gifts and embark on a path of healing, Smart Healthy Lifestyles offers a sanctuary of support, wisdom, and inspiration.
