Hello, I'm Fran Turk, founder of Paradise Wellness Center, a beachfront healing sanctuary in Costa Rica.
My own journey with water fasting transformed my health, brought emotional clarity, and deepened my connection to nature and myself.
Inspired by this experience, I became a certified Naturopath Coach and have since guided many people through safe, supervised water fasts.
Today, it's my passion to help others experience the healing power of fasting in a peaceful, supportive environment surrounded by the beauty of the Caribbean.

Fasting means voluntarily choosing not to eat. We get out of the body's way in order to give our system a chance to remove stored toxins, accelerate the healing process, and balance all our functions. A fast is a good reset and is the quickest way to make your body efficient again.


All living beings have the ability to heal themselves, but they need the right conditions for that to happen. Water fasting is this superior method which creates the right conditions for the body to regain balance and recover from sickness. Fasting offers the ideal environment for healing, making it beneficial for nearly everyone, regardless of their condition, to attain a much greater state of health and energy.
When you don't need to digest, absorb, or eliminate food, your body saves a lot of energy it uses every day. By taking it easy and cutting down on unneeded mental and physical tasks, you save even more energy. All this energy can then be used by the body to cleanse, purify and heal.
As the body starts this cleansing process, you might face a range of symptoms (sometimes called a "healing crisis") that could be just about any kind. These symptoms show that the body is getting rid of different toxins, and they stop when the body is clean.


Most individuals will experience certain symptoms, with the majority primarily feeling tired or weak. Almost everyone will go through a drop in blood pressure, which could lead to dizziness upon rapid standing. Typically, body temperature decreases, though occasional episodes of fever might also occur. Moreover, many people will observe a coating forming on their tongue due to increased bodily elimination processes. Your specific health condition may result in one or several other symptoms. It's worth mentioning that while a few may feel unwell throughout the entire duration, the majority will generally feel fairly well during most of the fasting period, and some will even feel fantastic.
Certain individuals should avoid fasting due to their conditions. This includes pregnant or breastfeeding women, those severely underweight or malnourished, and individuals taking specific medications. However, the vast majority of people can experience significant advantages from fasting correctly and in appropriate circumstances. Once we receive your registration form, we can address your personal situation.


You can measure your blood pressure, pulse, & temperature, and I can read it on a daily basis. We will observe any visible indicators, and have daily discussions about what you're feeling on all levels. Additionally, if you have a smart scale, we can assess your weight, muscle mass, fat mass, and hydration level. Your safety is my priority.
I advise my clients to prioritize rest as much as possible, as the body benefits most when given ample rest. You don't want to spend your sacred energy that should be used for healing and cleansing.
If you wish, you can read a book, engage in writing, appreciate nature, engage in artistic activities, take leisurely walks, practice gentle stretches, play simple games, reflect on your emotions. I always recommend that you do as little as you feel comfortable with, and encourage you to view your fasting period as an opportunity for deep rest. Then you'll have your entire life to do things.

Each circumstance is distinct. What is absolutely true is that each passing day becomes progressively more beneficial. For most individuals, a fasting duration of 3 to 4 weeks appears to offer the optimal balance of maximum benefits in the shortest span of time.


What takes place during the "recovery" period?
The body rebuilds with rest, so resting is still a priority once you start the re-feeding process. I encourage exercise only when the body has recovered some and is ready for it. This typically happens around 5 days after starting to eat again, depending on how long the fasting period was. Physical movement should be slowly ramped up.
You'll break it with the lightest and easiest food to digest on the planet, whole, fresh and ripe fruit. Your digestive system has been shut down for 2, 3 or 4 weeks and suddenly it is going to receive food, so we want to be as gentle as possible. Your re-feeding process is also guided by me.
