Yes. If there are specific health concerns, family history considerations, or additional assessments you would like to explore, we can discuss available options prior to your arrival and help coordinate additional services when appropriate.

Dr. Anya can also help you consider which additions may be meaningful for your individual health goals. Additional testing is subject to availability, medical appropriateness, and any associated costs.

Dr. Anya de la Motte joins the retreat as your Integrated Health Guide. She helps you prepare for your experience, understand your health journey, and feel supported throughout the process.

All medical screenings and care during the retreat are provided by licensed healthcare professionals in Taiwan. Dr. Anya does not diagnose or provide treatment during the international experience.

Her role is to help you understand your health information, teach preventative lifestyle tools, and provide guidance that supports your long-term wellbeing before and after the retreat within her professional scope in the United States.

Yes, and we highly recommend it. A pre-retreat consultation with Dr. Anya allows you to discuss your health goals, ask questions, and share any specific concerns or areas you would like to focus on during your assessment.

This conversation helps you feel prepared before you arrive and allows Dr. Anya to better support you throughout your experience in Taiwan.

Your complete health assessment results will be compiled into an English-language medical report package, including your diagnostic reports and imaging scans. This comprehensive packet is typically mailed to you after your assessment is completed.

Once you receive your results, you will have the option to schedule a follow-up consultation with Dr. Anya in the United States to discuss your experience, ask questions, and explore how your findings may inform your ongoing health journey.

Your health assessments are designed to provide a deeper understanding of your current health. After the retreat, your results will be reviewed and provided to you in a detailed medical report sent to your home.

During the experience, Taiwanese medical professionals will perform your screenings and evaluations. They will not provide ongoing treatment as part of the retreat. Any follow-up care or treatment decisions will need to be discussed with your healthcare provider at home.

As part of the cultural wellness experience, you will have the opportunity to meet with a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. These visits may include personalized recommendations, such as acupuncture or herbal therapies, which are optional.

To create a more personalized and meaningful experience, each retreat is limited to 6–8 guests.

This intimate group size allows for a more comfortable healthcare experience, thoughtful cultural connections, personalized support throughout the journey, and the opportunity to build genuine relationships with fellow travelers.

After you reserve your place, we’ll begin preparing you for your experience in Taiwan. You’ll receive a welcome packet with important travel details, next steps, and information to help you feel confident and prepared.

You’ll have the opportunity to connect with Dr. Anya before the retreat, complete any necessary health and travel forms, and receive guidance on what to expect throughout your journey.

As your travel dates approach, we’ll continue to communicate with you so you know exactly what to bring, where to be, and how to prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Yes, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip to Taiwan. Travel insurance can provide valuable protection for unexpected situations such as trip interruption, delays, lost luggage, or unforeseen medical needs while traveling.

Because this is an international experience, we encourage guests to choose a policy that fits their individual needs and provides appropriate coverage for their circumstances.

We are happy to help guide you with travel planning and recommendations so you can feel prepared before your journey begins.

This experience is designed for guests who enjoy an active and immersive travel experience. Taiwan is best explored on foot, and our days often include walking through vibrant neighborhoods, markets, cultural sites, and historic areas—typically around 8,000–10,000 steps per day (approximately 6–8 kilometers or 4–5 miles).

Guests should feel comfortable walking several kilometers each day, navigating uneven sidewalks, stairs, and varying terrain. Comfortable walking shoes are essential.

The pace is thoughtfully planned with opportunities to rest and recharge, but this experience may not be the best fit for guests who prefer a more relaxed itinerary with minimal walking, frequent rest periods, or primarily vehicle-based sightseeing.

You do not need to be in perfect health to participate. In fact, this experience is designed for individuals who want to take a proactive approach to understanding and supporting their health.

However, guests should be medically stable and able to safely participate in international travel, scheduled health assessments, walking, and cultural activities throughout the itinerary.

If you have existing health concerns, mobility considerations, or questions about whether this experience is right for you, we encourage you to discuss them with your healthcare provider and share any relevant information with us during the planning process.

We strive to accommodate dietary needs whenever possible and ask that you share any food allergies or dietary restrictions with us during the registration process.

Because many of our meals take place at locally owned restaurants and off-the-beaten-path establishments, accommodations cannot always be guaranteed. Language barriers, ingredient availability, and the spontaneity of travel in Taiwan may occasionally require changes to our dining plans.

If you have a severe food allergy or a highly restrictive diet, we encourage you to contact us before booking so we can discuss whether this experience is a good fit for your needs.

Not at all! No Mandarin language skills are required to enjoy this experience.

Having lived in Taiwan for seven years, Tricia is familiar with the culture and everyday travel throughout the country. Combined with our local relationships and support from English-speaking healthcare staff, you'll have guidance every step of the way.

That said, you'll likely pick up a few useful Mandarin words and phrases along the journey—adding another memorable layer to your experience!

Your reservation is confirmed once we receive your non-refundable deposit. Because we begin securing accommodations, healthcare appointments, and other retreat arrangements well in advance, the deposit cannot be refunded if you need to cancel.

For this reason, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to help protect your investment in the event of an unexpected cancellation or interruption.

Complete cancellation terms, payment schedules, and refund policies are provided in your Retreat Agreement before you finalize your reservation.
