"I have to say that the food was just perfect for me. I have terrible digestion and suffer chronic heartburn but there is none of that with your tasty and interesting healthy food Lyn. No bread is always good for me too. Your food is very satisfying. I always feel totally cleansed from no alcohol or meat, that I do not miss at all, for an entire weekend...just marvellous. I simply can't contemplate not having this special weekend in my life. Springbrook is just so special and that is because of you Lyn...you make it that way. Please know you make a difference in a lot of people's lives. "

"Congratulations on a wonderful weekend at Springbrook. The 5 of us had a wonderful weekend of yoga, friendship, food, surroundings etc etc etc. Noeleen had never done lessons with you and she was truly impressed! Gail, who is training for her IYTA was thrilled with the variety and structure throughout the weekend. Likewise, Lois and I just enjoy "everything". The choice of venue was simply SUPERB!" -
