Mindful Living in the Eastern Townships: A Spotlight on Spa Eastman, with Founder, Jocelyna Dubuc

Global Journeys with Jill Dutton

Where tranquility meets transformation, we sit down with Spa Eastman's visionary founder, Jocelyna Dubuc. As a beacon of holistic wellness, Joselina shares how her journey from academia to Ayurveda reshaped her, and in turn, the lives of many seeking solace and health. Our conversation reveals paths to inner peace, the profound impact of our dietary choices, the benefits of detox and thermal therapy, and the oft-overlooked art of living that Jocelyna has woven into every facet of the spa experience.
Today's episode is more than a mere recount of a wellness retreat; it's an exploration of the symbiotic relationship between food, therapy, and well-being. We immerse in the potent changes that occur when one adopts a natural, anti-inflammatory diet, spotlighting the stories of those who’ve found relief from chronic conditions by connecting with nature's pantry and embracing the therapeutic dance of hot and cold. Join us for a discussion that promises not just insight, but inspiration for those on a quest for a more holistic, health-filled life.
