What to Expect
To ensure safe, individualized care, all therapeutic water fasting programs begin with a physician-guided screening process to ensure every participant is an appropriate candidate, and is matched with the program that's best suited to their health, goals, and experience. How it works:
Before your fast begins, you'll receive personalized preparation guidance, educational resources, and the Master Water Fasting Guide to help you transition safely into the fasting experience.
Whether you're participating from home or attending a residential retreat, our medical team will guide you through every stage of your therapeutic water fast with ongoing education, monitoring, and support.
Breaking your fast is just as important as the fast itself. You'll follow a structured, physician-guided reintroduction process designed to safely transition your body back to eating while supporting long-term health and sustainable lifestyle change.
Your journey doesn't end when your fast does. A follow-up consultation with Dr. Ariel Jones, ND provides an opportunity to review your experience, discuss next steps, and create a plan to support your ongoing health and wellness.

How to Begin
To ensure safe, individualized care, all therapeutic water fasting programs begin with a physician-guided screening process to ensure every participant is an appropriate candidate, and is matched with the program that's best suited to their health, goals, and experience. How it works:
Complete Your Medical Screening
Begin by completing the online Health Screening Questionnaire below, providing as much detail as possible about your health history, current medications, diagnoses, and wellness goals. Your submission will be reviewed by our medical team to determine whether therapeutic water fasting appears to be an appropriate option for you.
If additional information is required, or if therapeutic water fasting is not appropriate at this time, you'll receive guidance on the next steps. In some cases, you may be invited to book a naturopathic consultation with Dr. Ariel Jones, ND to discuss your health and develop a plan to help you become a candidate for therapeutic water fasting in the future.
Water Fasting Consultation
If your Health Screening Questionnaire indicates that therapeutic water fasting may be appropriate, you'll receive an invitation to submit a $250 CAD deposit, which will be applied toward the cost of your fasting program.
This deposit secures your 1:1 Water Fasting Consultation with Dr. Ariel Jones, ND. During this comprehensive medical appointment, Dr. Ariel, ND will review your complete medical history, discuss your health goals, confirm whether therapeutic water fasting is appropriate for you, and recommend the fasting program best suited to your individual needs—including program format (distance or residential) and fasting duration.
Please note: It is essential that your Health Screening Questionnaire is completed accurately and includes your complete medical history. If important information is omitted or new medical information is identified during your consultation, Dr. Ariel, ND may determine that therapeutic water fasting is not appropriate at this time.
Program Enrolment & Preparation
Following your consultation, you'll receive a personalized recommendation outlining your recommended fasting program and duration, along with an invoice* for enrolment.
Once enrolled, you'll receive everything you need to prepare for your fast, including your Master Water Fasting Guide, preparation instructions, educational resources, and guidance to help you begin your fasting journey with confidence.
*Your $250 CAD deposit will be applied toward the total program cost.
Pricing for our standard 3, 5 or 7 day in-person water fasting retreats begin at $3,500.
