Their programs incorporate natural therapies that support physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness, making it a place for healing and rejuvenation.
Visitors can expect a nurturing and serene atmosphere, fostering a sense of calm and relaxation. The center emphasizes a mind-body-spirit approach, providing a supportive environment for both residential and outpatient patients to embark on their health journeys.

Editor's Review
Customer reviews of the Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center present a mixed picture, revealing both high praise and notable criticisms. While 25% of reviewers rated their experience poorly, the remaining 75% highlighted effective detox programs and supportive staff. For instance, RodeoRae expressed enthusiasm, stating, 'I absolutely love the way I felt after my 3 weeks with Dr. Bayloc and Dr. Kelsey; they were the Best and the food was truly 5 star.'
However, not all experiences were positive. Some reviewers pointed out operational issues and staff inconsistencies. As Luana Teixeira noted, 'You will not feel safe, well treated or cared for,' which reflects a concerning theme among the lower-rated experiences. A key highlight seems to be the detoxification program, which several participants felt was life-changing. Yet, others lamented the outdated facilities and disorganization, with complaints ranging from cleanliness to pricing.
Overall, the data tells a different story than one might expect; while many guests have found peace and a reset at this retreat, a significant number felt let down by the service and the environment.

I was very disappointed today. As the so called Nicole Bayloc could not even remember our last conversation at the last appointment. I should have seen the red flags sooner. I met with her 3 times in a 10 day period. How do you forget that quick. The...

I went about 12 years ago and she used to have a great spot by the beach and hot springs, but now it's buried under lava, so you're stuck inland. But think about it: in just 10 days or a month, she can really help turn your life around. Pay by credit...
