From the guest book.

There is a handwritten guest book in the main house. People write in it on their last day, usually after three weeks here. These are their words, not ours.

“There are a lot of false promises along the cancer journey, and I was blown away with the authenticity at THO. To open your home and your heart to strangers with such passion to help and heal is truly amazing.”

Gaylene Noyes · Kelowna, BC

“I had very little strength when I first came due to my health. But soon I’ll be able to climb the hill most days easily. I also got a bit of a digital detox. So much good memories, good people and good tools to learn.”

Derek · June 2024

“You never stopped trying to help me with my stomach pain, from the goat’s milk to the recliner chair. Shane, thank you for constantly working with me to find food that I could eat.”

Keith Colyer · Ohio, USA

“I am so thankful that my sister Cindy found this amazing place and that I was able to share the learning of healing with her. We have bathed in the beauty of nature with many walks around the lake.”

Kathy Evans · Grand Forks, BC

“It is even all the little things you do to make this place so special. The welcome card, the flower on the table, the most comfortable bed, the books in the cabins, the infrared sauna.”

Christina Tracy · Three week stay

“I am absolutely blown away with what you have created here. It has been everything I hoped for and everything I didn’t even know I needed. I appreciate you being so transparent, genuine, and offering non-judgment and guidance.”

Heidi · June 2025

“You have both created such a beautiful, loving and peaceful place to come and heal. My strength has improved so much. I can’t wait to update you on my next scan.”

Paulina · Healing guest

“My time here was unplanned but has been one of the most amazing experiences. I am leaving with renewed hope and enthusiasm to continue to learn and grow.”

Dona North Bryan · June 2024

“I am deeply thankful that I found the Healing Oasis. My three weeks has been one of the finest moments of my time here.”

Cindy Milsie · Armstrong, BC

“The peace, the time to think and reflect. Kristy has a big heart for her patients. I loved our long conversations about life and living.”

Karen Davis · Courtenay, BC

“From our first talk my spirit just told me that this was the place to come to. On our last day here, I feel that we are leaving the nest but that we are prepared for the journey ahead.”

Friedbert & Eleonora Wall · October 2024

“My personal goal was to get some exercise, three meals a day and try to break through the glass ceiling on this healing journey. Well folks, I did it.”

Moore · Calgary, AB

“I cannot think of a better name. Here I feel like a thirst I did not know I had was quenched, from the beauty of nature to the incredible treatments.”

Emily & Kate Kickelighter · October 2024

“Thanks for taking good care of my wife Agnes. Great experience, great environment, comfortable cabin. Everyone was so welcoming.”

Claude Mendes · Quebec, Canada

“The past three weeks have been absolutely amazing and transformative. I could not think of a better place to come and heal.”

Krista · Cohort 2, 2026

“I am so thankful to be here among people who are genuine, nurturing, kind, compassionate, passionate and gifted with the right skills to help the healing process.”

LvAnn Harmon · Oregon, USA

“Dave and Jen, I find that you are literally doing something no one else does. People need hope and support.”

Danielle · June 2026

“You have created such a special place for healing, community and connection. I feel so lucky to have gotten the opportunity to be here. I will never forget these three weeks.”

Jenny · April 2025
