We make a difference—testimonials from guests
"I arrived at The Manse Retreat carrying years of unresolved pain that I didn’t know how to process. From the first conversation with Carl and Kim, I felt at ease. What really stood out to me was how genuine they are—no pretences, no clinical distance—just real people who truly care.
They don’t treat you like a label or a case; they see you as a person. For the first time in years, I felt safe, understood, and hopeful about moving forward. Their genuineness and method made a significant impact. I’ll always be grateful for what they’ve done for me."

After struggling with emotional trauma for years, the Manse Retreat provided exactly what I needed. Kim and Carl are so real and down-to-earth—it was refreshing to be around people who genuinely care, without any judgement or barriers.
What I loved most is that they focus on helping you, not some label or diagnosis. It wasn’t like traditional therapy—it felt personal and heartfelt. I felt safe for the first time in a long while, and I can honestly say their authenticity and kindness were life-changing."

"Coming to The Manse Retreat was the best decision I’ve ever made for my emotional well-being. Initially, I felt anxious, but the warmth of Kim and Carl immediately reassured me. They aren’t just “practitioners”; they’re real, caring people who truly listen and understand.
What I appreciated most was their unique approach—they don’t see you as a diagnosis or a problem to fix. They see you. I felt safe, supported, and valued in a way I never had before. If you’re looking for genuine help from people who truly care, this is the place."
