A Physician-Guided Cellular Health & Healing Retreat
A week dedicated to your physical, mental, and emotional well-being through a functional approach to health.
Explore the foundations of cellular health, nutrition, gut function, stress management, and emotional well-being with Dr. Matzinger and the Mortal Healing team.
Every cell in your body depends on a complex network of processes to function, communicate, produce energy, and maintain balance. Nutrition, gut health, stress, sleep, and environmental exposures can all influence these processes.
At Mortal Healing, we take a functional approach to understanding health by looking beyond isolated symptoms and exploring the factors that may contribute to an individual’s overall well-being.
The Healing Oasis brings this philosophy into an immersive, physician-guided experience, combining therapeutic services, wellness education, and intentional lifestyle practices to help you take meaningful first steps toward supporting your health at the cellular and whole-body levels.
The Healing Oasis will be focusing on 4 main pillars from Dr. Matzinger’s 7 Pillars of Wellness and Healing, her intentional whole-body healing methodology she has been using with her patients for over 12 years.
Explore nourishing food choices and sustainable habits that support your personal wellness goals.
Make room for rest, mindfulness, and practical strategies to manage everyday stress.
Create space for reflection and healing, exploring how past experiences and learned family patterns may influence present-day behaviors and well-being of the mental, emotional, and physical bodies.
Create space to slow down, reflect, and explore habits you want to change on a cellular level.
Strengthen the foundations of wellness through nutrition, gut health, and supportive treatments.
Reconnect with yourself and develop practices that support ongoing physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Digestive & Lymphatic Support
Colon hydrotherapy and lymphatic drainage treatment to focus on the body releasing waste from the digestive and lymphatic system.
Infrared Sauna & Aroma Touch Therapy
Experience relaxing therapies to assist the body with releasing tension and put it in a state of ease, making release more comfortable throughout the week.
IV Lipid Therapy
A physician-directed intravenous treatment that focuses on cellular membrane stabilization, metabolic regulation, and neurochemical support.
Ketamine Therapy Sessions
Medically supervised sessions focusing on mental and emotional health, rebuilding neural pathways in the brain. For eligible participants.
The Healing Oasis is designed for individuals seeking a structured, supported starting point for improving their health habits and exploring the relationship between physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
It may be appropriate for people who:
Want to build a stronger foundation in nutrition and gut health.
Want to develop practical stress-management and self-care strategies.
Are interested in exploring emotional patterns that may influence their behaviors and well-being.
Feel overwhelmed by the process of making lasting lifestyle changes.
Value physician guidance, structured wellness experiences, and a plan for continuing after the retreat.
All participants must complete the required intake and screening process. Eligibility for specific medical treatments will depend on individual assessment; the retreat is not a substitute for ongoing medical care.
The Healing Oasis is led by Carolyn Matzinger M.D. and the Mortal Healing team, bringing together clinical expertise, functional wellness education, and individualized support.
The retreat reflects Mortal Healing’s commitment to exploring the interconnected factors that influence health while helping participants identify practical next steps for their continued care.
What is The Healing Oasis, and how does it differ from a spa retreat?
The Healing Oasis is a week long, physician guided retreat that includes both functional medicine rooted treatments and holistic therapies that focus on whole body healing in a medically approved facility.
Spa retreats do not include medical treatments, are not facilitated by a medical doctor, and are not required to be in a medically approved facility. They generally include therapies and wellness practices facilitated by certified instructors and/or coaches.
How does the retreat approach cellular health?
At Mortal Healing, we believe that supporting long-term health begins at the cellular level. Our approach recognizes that cellular function is influenced by many interconnected factors.
A key component of this approach is phosphatidylcholine (PC), a phospholipid that plays an essential structural role in cell membranes. The Healing Oasis incorporates physician-directed IV Lipid Therapy containing phosphatidylcholine, when clinically appropriate, alongside education, therapeutic experiences, and lifestyle practices that support a more comprehensive approach to health.
Rather than promising an overnight transformation, our goal is to help you better understand your body’s needs, explore supportive therapies, and develop sustainable habits that contribute to your long-term well-being.
Healing is a process, not a six-day promise. The Healing Oasis provides a dedicated space to begin that process with expert guidance, intentional care, and a stronger foundation for your ongoing health journey.
What treatments are included in the price?
IV Lipid Therapy, Ketamine Therapy, and Lymphatic Drainage therapy (via machine) are medical treatments that are included with the retreat. The other therapies that are not medical that are included are: Colon Hydrotherapy, Aroma Touch Therapy, and Infrared Sauna.
What medical screening is required?
A 30 minute assessment with Dr. Matzinger directly 2 weeks prior to the retreat is required. From that assessment, you will be required to send over any recent diagnostics completed within the prior 2 months. If not, you will receive a diagnostic lab work requisition to complete immediately.
Are all treatments mandatory?
No, not all treatments are mandatory, they all are included in the retreat costs. Dr. Matzinger adjusts based on individuals medical history, diagnostics, and experience throughout the retreat.
Who is eligible for Ketamine Therapy treatments?
Individuals with stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bi-polar disorder, and chronic pain can benefit from Ketamine Therapy. Ketamine works with glutamate in the brain, which aids in neural activation, growth, and repair on the brain. Dr. Matzinger administers and monitors each session closely.
Are accommodations and meals included?
Meals are included and follow Dr. Matzinger’s low inflammation eating protocol. Accommodations are not included, however, for our traveling participants, we do have a discount code for the nearby Green Valley Resort!
