Fueled by the demand of modern times for “more” and “faster” work output, a lot of individuals find themselves gradually spiraling down to a life-draining or pointless existence. Others find themselves waking up having uncontrollable mood swings or unproductive thoughts. A lot of these challenges manifest as physical symptoms stemming from mental and emotional stressors. Mental and emotional health challenges can manifest in different forms such as:

• Hormonal or physiologic disharmony (e.g., adjustment concerns related to menopause or puberty)

• Physical symptoms (e.g., cardiac or neurologic conditions such as heart attacks and stroke,

debilitating body pain, or skin disorders)

• Psycho-emotional or psycho-social manifestations from trauma and stress

This growing list also includes anxiety, depressive tendencies and different forms of addictions such as gadget addiction to the point of sleep deprivation. The Farm’s Mental Health program consists of a series of services tailored to one’s individual needs with this goal in mind: to bring you to a space of genuine mental well-being.

The Farm at San Benito, in partnership with Living Life Well Medical Group, offers Cigna Global Healthcare-accredited services through its Mental Health Program. For inquiries about partial coverage by Cigna, please contact our office by emailing lauren@my-globallife.com.

Nutrient-rich organic Vegan Meals and Beverages

Three-course plant-based meals will be served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with antioxidant-rich juices. The meals and juices will have low glycemic index fruits and no extra sugar like honey or coconut sugar as simple sugars may prevent the optimal function of the body’s natural defenses.

Holistic Health Consultation

A health-oriented conversation with our integrative doctor will explore the individual’s state of well-being. It will help guests understand the disharmony between the physical, psycho-emotional, and spiritual aspects of the individual based on the review of systems or symptoms analysis.

Nutritional Assessment

Assessment of the guests’ weight, body fat, visceral fat muscle mass, bone mass, metabolic age, Body Mass Index (BMI), etc. Results will be used to assess your overall nutritional condition and our nutritionist will be able to guide how to sustainably achieve your health and nutritional goals.

Fitness Assessment

The fitness assessment is a one-on-one discussion with our certified fitness professionals to evaluate four key fitness areas: aerobic fitness; muscular strength and endurance; flexibility; and body composition -- all in a holistic approach to achieve your fitness goals.

Cellular Health Screening

This is an introduction to health consciousness to every guest and those who want to jumpstart a healthy lifestyle using one’s blood as seen live under a dark field microscope. The blood is a very special part of the human body, it transports substances that stir a person’s feelings and consciousness more than any other bodily fluid. It is an educational, experience-based tour through visual appreciation of one’s overall health status through the quality of the red and white blood cells. It gives a glimpse of what’s happening inside the body as well as information on possible nutritional deficiencies and toxicities, it is based on the foundations of histology (study of cells) and hematology (study of blood). It can show manifestations of inflammation, oxidative stress, and internal organ imbalance.

Brain Biofeedback

The machine scans the electromagnetic fields produced by our neural cells and calculates possible alterations in our nervous system.

Psychosomatic Health Assessment (Voice Analysis)

A technology similar to voice signature, it can identify specific stressors that affect your health just by examining your voice. The voice analysis can recognize what organs in your body are being directly affected by stress. After de-stressing and stress management recommendations from the Farm, the voice analysis can show and assess how you are truly managing your stress.

Sensory Deprivation Floatation

A sensory deprivation water pod is saturated with 454kgs of Epsom salt (Magnesium sulfate) that allows the body to float without effort. Magnesium is a muscle relaxant and is therefore ideal for those with tight muscles or muscle pains. Likewise, Magnesium is known as a light-bearing molecule which affords a sense of lightness to the individual during or after the session.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a major component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is acknowledged by the WHO as a safe, effective, and evidence-based treatment. It involves the insertion of fine, thin, and sterile needles into the skin and into the muscles. This results in the body producing natural substances like pain-relieving endorphins. Only duly certified and licensed acupuncturists supervised by a medical doctor perform this procedure. The combination of cupping and/or myotherapy can further enhance the efficacy of acupuncture.

Psychotherapy

Our well-trained team of psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors focus on the person’s mental well-being, their ability to function in everyday life and their concept of “self”. The team helps manage a person struggling with behavioral health concerns who are or may face stress, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, addiction, ADHD or learning disabilities, mood disorders, and other conditions.

Myotherapy

Myotherapy is a medically-directed therapeutic massage specifically targeting trigger points and acupuncture spots in muscle complexes to treat soft tissue pain and restricted joint movement. The therapy corresponds to the chief complaints of the guest and as directed by the medical doctor and/or physical therapist. The best combination therapy of acupuncture, physiotherapy, and chiropractic care further enhances the efficacy of the integration of treatments.

Neurogenic Release

This session helps to address chronic bodily stress, deep-seated physical tension manifested as muscle tightness/rigidity or numbness/weakness and post-traumatic experiences. It targets the psoas, a special muscle that connects the legs, groin to abdomen; the same muscle where a lot of unconscious tension is dumped into. As such, Neurogenic Release is a great help for those who have sleep problems, jaw tension or tooth grinding, persistent neck & shoulder pains, erectile dysfunction, etc. It also a good way efficiently lose excess fats in the midsection.

Psycho-emotional Clearing

A combination of techniques that helps clear mental confusion, reveal psycho-emotional scars, and release negative emotional imprisonment, which are among the root causes of many physical ailments and disharmonies. This is highly recommended for those who are high-strung and highly irritable -- those who see life as an experience of unfreedom.

Guided Meditation

A private meditation session where the guest experiences self-awareness and management of thoughts leading to a state of relaxation and expansion of consciousness.

They emit the ideal energy to stimulate at the cellular level and promote natural regenerative processes that are vital and beneficial to the body.

Eye Exercises for Improved Vision

The sense of sight has been abused especially with the current trend of screen overuse, online learning, and e-meetings. Eye exercises to correct errors of refraction (astigmatism, near and farsightedness) are therefore timely and relevant. This session includes tips to improve eyesight naturally through nutrition and safeguard the eyes from electromagnetic, radiation-related damage.

Organic Farm Tour

The Farm's 5,700+ sq. meter organic vegetable and herb garden is an example of organic precision agriculture. Everything grown on the land has been designed to fit the farm’s culinary needs. The Farm is designed to have a seasonal rotation of crops for a true sustainable, organic farm-to-table experience. Food waste from the kitchen is transported daily and segregated accordingly - with some fed to the animals and the rest added to the compost area where both agricultural and biodegradable wastes are treated. It’s here that we create natural fertilizers by allowing the waste to ferment aerobically with microorganisms. By growing majority of our produce on-site, The Farm is not only increasing food security but also reducing our carbon footprint by limiting the transport of food. 

Sound Healing and Therapy

The use of vibrations (vocal or instrumental-like gongs, Tibetan singing bowls, and tuning forks) to relax the body, mind, and soul. Some proponents also believe it can relieve certain ailments including pain, anxiety, depression, or insomnia. Sound therapy is a clinical and evidence-based therapy used for dealing with mental health issues, such as anxiety, pain, and sleep disorders. These issues are usually caused by high levels of tension and stress. Sound healing brings one to a relaxed state with sounds created by singing bowls, tuning forks, and other resonant musical instruments, including the human voice. Recent research suggests that in counseling sessions, it can be a catalyst for emotional healing used in combination with other modalities such as meditation, deep breathing, and visualization.
