To have any kind of fighting chance of getting better and feeling better, those with cancer need to drastically change their lifestyle and nutrition. Staying in the same place, eating the same food, doing the same things will not help. Our healing oasis (a cancer wellness retreat center) is secluded in nature’s paradise allowing our guests to comfortably change their lifestyle for the better. With our private Chef making farm fresh meals every day, our regime of vitamins / enzymes, our dedicated therapies, and our activities in nature along with sunlight, sleep and “living water” we believe that guests will find hope at the end of their stay while feeling better, revitalized and ready to allow their bodies to heal themselves.
Dave Vass has been married to his beautiful wife, Jennifer, for 20 years and has 3 teenagers ages 18, 16, and 14. Dave grew up riding horses on a ranch in Alberta. Dave and Jennifer met while taking Kinesiology at the University of Calgary which instilled a love for fitness and nutrition. Over the last 15 years, Dave has successfully started and exited various companies in the tech industry. During Covid, his Dad passed away from being intubated which changed the course of his life. Now Dave and Jenn have a mission to help those who are suffering from cancer find true healing and rest. As such, they have dedicated their 40-acre resort in the Okanagan to The Healing Oasis.
