The weekend starts at 5 PM on Friday at the manor house next to Canandaigua Lake, just south of the town of Canandaigua on the east side of the lake. Friday dinner is included, and the evening sets the tone for the rest of the stay. The house has seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, so there is plenty of space and privacy even with a full group.
Saturday is the fullest day. The programme includes meditation and walking meditation, "Hypnosis-Light" for weight loss, and EFT Tapping for weight release, alongside a nutrition class, "Eating for Optimal Health", and a health class on setting up your home and lifestyle for weight-removal success. The group also spends time outdoors moving, and the hosts ask guests to bring walking shoes and layers for all weather.
Saturday evening is the Healthy Cooking Class Dinner with Chef Eric Mercovich, followed by the "Bubbly & Sparkles" party. Sunday continues with brunch before departure at 10 AM, with the aim that guests leave feeling light, happy and confident in their weight-removal plan.
What separates this from a generic spa weekend is the mix of practical classes and the food itself: a chef cooking and teaching in the same house where you are staying, plus a chiropractor leading the weight-loss sessions. It is a small-group format, and the hosts ask people to register early because places are limited.
Dr. Amy Mercovich runs Bergen Family Chiropractic and hosted the weekend with Chef Eric Mercovich. The retreat was listed among the practice's past retreats and events, and registration was handled through the Rochester Yoga Festival website, in person at Bergen Family Chiropractic, or by phone.
