David Gouveia

Living a healthy lifestyle is and has been a way of life for my family and I for as long as I can remember.

In preparation for my calling as a healer and teacher the most important period of my life was my years as a child and teenager.

I grew up in a community of healers who used what was available, natural healing herbs and physical manipulation. I was on the receiving end of many of these healings from the early age of 6 months old. Even though I was not fully aware of it, my journey into the natural healing arts started.

I bring 38 years of experience to my healing practice

I studied at the Kripalu Institute in Massachusetts. I teach yoga, Reiki and Bodywork. I also bring into my healing practice nutritional consultations, which help to pinpoint your personal nutritional needs. I believe that detoxification, combined with nutritional support and specific energy healing work will bring the body back into balance at a fast rate. I provide Life Directions counseling for those who want to introduce a new way of being in their relationships, work and fulfilling their life’s purpose.

I teach you ways to de-stress, relax, meditate and restore clarity of mind and a vibrant spirit.

Meditation, concentration and focusing techniques, silent, active and sitting, taught me the art of listening and being observant.

It is from this place of centeredness that I allow this healing energy of light to move through me to bring healing to you.

At Nonpareil Natural Health Retreat we will give you the opportunity to experience Physical, Mental and Spiritual Renewal.

The number one complaint that I hear from all of you is that you are unable to maintain a healthy eating plan. I will reveal the secret to you when you are here at Nonpareil.

Raw organic juicing is cleansing, detoxifying, invigorating, and most important absolutely delicious!!!!!! The results of drinking juices and power drinks will amaze you!! They are the best meal replacements and you will never feel more nourished.

My expertise is in the planning of which ingredients will best nourish your particular system. I take a brief history from you before you arrive and then the day you arrive here, David and I sit with you and listen to your particular needs, and then evaluate the types of juices and treatments that would be best suited to bringing your entire system back into balance and optimal health. I also listen carefully and watch how your body is functioning in order to make a plan for you to continue a healthy eating plan at home. I make a written fail proof very simple plan, so it is easy to follow with your particular lifestyle. This is so important that you can continue to be healthy and know what to do when you get home. I make sure that the preparations are easy to do and not time consuming, and that the foods I choose are packed with high power nutrients that are easily absorbed into your system.
