Time to introduce the A-team behind New Body and Mind Retreats:

Founder and Creator of "New Body and Mind Retreats" Nino J. Lambert, was born in Belgium and spent the last 20 years working and studying in Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, China, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong).

Fueled by a profound interest in alternative health and an unshakable commitment to excellence, Nino created “New Body and Mind Retreats” in 2000, in response to what he viewed as a shortfall in existing health programs being offered. Drawing on his strengths as a successful technology entrepreneur, his highly successful detox and rejuvenation programs were designed and developed over a decade of extensive research and experience. In 2005, Nino went to Melbourne, Australia, to study at Health World International and became a Metagenics Certified & Registered HemaView Practitioner.
