Weight Management

The Sanctuary Byron Bay can provide specialised multi-disciplinary weight management programs for those who are unable to maintain a disciplined program on their own, or for those who for medical reasons, require supervision and careful monitoring.


Our aims are not only to ensure that a realistic weight management program can be developed but that it can be also maintained with a careful balance of lifestyle improvements, healthier food and adequate exercise. Education and active participation are also key goals of our weight management programs where intensive psychotherapy and coaching helps to examine the unexamined reasons behind living a sedentary lifestyle or eating unhealthily.


Our weight management programs involve comprehensive medical assessments, 24 hour supervision, and assessments by naturopaths, fitness professionals, physiotherapists, body workers and other complementary therapists. Importantly, each weight management program is uniquely customised to each person’s specific needs.  You will also enjoy the services of a personal chef who will liaise with other practitioners to ensure that your food is prepared according to recommendations of your treating team.  Your chef will also educate you about your specific dietary needs and cooking lessons are available to ensure you leave with developed skills to maintain a healthy diet.


While in residence, you will be introduced to a range of healthy physical activities that you can choose to incorporate into a regular routine.  All exercise will be monitored by professionals and your limits carefully respected so that we can slowly increase your capacity to engage in physical activity without inviting injury.


At The Sanctuary Byron Bay, we promote a steady, sustained and most importantly safe approach to weight management, helping you to establish a program you can continue well into your future.

Testimonials

“…. I went to the Sanctuary for my anxiety and depression and soon realised that I needed to quit drinking. What a thought! “Quit drinking?” But I’d drunk daily for over 30 years and never imagined that I had a drinking problem, or that alcohol was in any way related to my depression and anxiety. I have quit drinking now for 3 months and I’ve been practicing all that I was taught at The Sanctuary, including maintaining a regular exercise program - and I can’t believe how great I feel! Thank you.…..” MD 51 years old
