Accommodations

The retreat center’s name translates as “Love from the Ancient Forest.” It is nestled in an oasis of native plants and fruit trees, nourished by a magnificent waterfall in the Sacred Valley of Peru. This lovely spot is in the Andes Mountains and is home to the twelve mountains known as Apus—“luminous beings.” Those who come to the center have the opportunity to commune directly with these mountains, as well as with the local curanderos and pacos (healers), who engage with us for ritual and Despacho ceremony.

The guests at this center enjoy delicious vegetarian and vegan (protein added for dinner) meals with locally grown and lovingly prepared ingredients. Each guestroom is a reflection of the Peruvian culture of the Sacred Valley. The entire center embodies kindness, love, and wholeness that seem to permeate the magical place.

Dr. Alda Sainfort, MD, DOM, PgDA, MDiv, LMT

(Medicine Meets Mysticism)

Dr. Alda Sainfort is a visionary healer whose work bridges the worlds of medicine and mysticism. Holding dual doctorates in Western and Oriental Medicine, she is a Board‑Certified Holistic Specialist, Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, and the Founder and Director of the Advanced Healing Wellness Center (AHWC) in Pembroke Pines, Florida. For more than fifteen years, Dr. Sainfort has led deeply transformative healing retreats that weave together science, spirituality, and embodied practice.

Her clinical training spans Western Medicine, Acupuncture, Ayurveda, and Sufi Spiritual Healing and Counseling, allowing her to integrate ancient healing systems with modern medical understanding. This multidimensional approach forms the foundation of her practice at AHWC, a sanctuary where healing is not transactional but transformational. Participants and patients alike are invited into a sacred relationship with their own well‑being, one that honors the wisdom of the body, the clarity of the mind, and the light of the soul.

Dr. Sainfort’s retreats are immersive journeys into emotional release, ancestral healing, and spiritual awakening. Drawing from her books Ayurveda: The Science of Life; Family Lineage Healing: Pain, Patterns, Trauma, and Emotions; and her forthcoming book, Emotional Healing (to be published in October 2026), she guides participants through breathwork, movement, and inner inquiry to uncover the roots of imbalance and restore harmony across generations. Her teachings emphasize that true healing arises when physical, emotional, and spiritual layers are addressed with compassion and awareness.

Her spiritual healing work is grounded in the Sufi principle that healing is a return to balance, not only within the body but in the soul’s relationship with the Divine. Through dhikr (remembrance), reflection, and embodied practice, she helps others reconnect with their inner light and awaken to their sacred purpose.

Dr. Sainfort’s presence is both gentle and powerful, a fusion of medical precision and mystical grace. Her retreats offer a rare opportunity to experience healing as a living prayer, where medicine meets spirit and transformation becomes inevitable.

Testimonials

“Dr Sainfort is such a beautiful soul who operates in pure love and kindness. She is extremely professional, spiritually gifted and wise. Her amazing classes, workshops, retreats and holistic wellness services have truly changed my life. I’m blessed to have her as my doctor and spiritual teacher.” — Leah B.

“This place (Advanced Healing Wellness) is magical and it is literally a healing place (mind body and soul). The Family Constellation event held by the amazing Dr Alda was one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced. Even though I didn’t get a chance to have my own family constellation done yet, simply being part of the entire experience brought so much love, light and insight to my own trauma and my own journey through it. I wish more people would join Dr. Alda’s practice because we all deserve to heal and flourish. And I am hoping for a lot more events hosted by Dr. Alda where I can continue my healing journey with her help, guidance and love.” — Alina Hernand

“A year ago Dr. Sainfort held an Ancestral Healing Retreat in our facility, Nature’s Point Retreat Center in Tygh Valley, OR. It was an amazing gathering of women…coming together from across the US to be in the wilds of nature…committing to be here…receiving this unique multidisciplinary offering of personal healing! Over the course of the retreat with Dr. Sainfort…an uncovering of stuck places surfaced…much deeper healing happened! Dr. Sainfort holds multiple professional degrees in allopathic medicine as well as spiritual healing and body centered modalities. Dr. Sainfort’s deep intuitive assessment and compassionate way of transforming the subtle energy from very deep stuck places was key to my healing. Thank you Dr. Sainfort…you are a unique, extraordinary healer!” — Laila Davis
