We Care Spa

We Care Spa operates a 20-acre wellness retreat in Desert Hot Springs, California, built around therapeutic juice fasting combined with structured colon hydrotherapy. The facility has developed a reputation over decades for its liquid cleanse protocol, a programme centred on hourly nutrition and clinical-style hydrotherapy rather than medical diagnostics, meaning guests enter and exit the programme without on-site screening or lab work. The site makes no claim to cure disease or reverse conditions; instead, it frames the stay as a deliberate pause involving calorie restriction, elimination of solid food, and guided rest.

The core offering is what the spa calls the Liquid Cleanse Program, built on a logic of simplification. Rather than normal meals, guests consume fourteen different varieties of freshly prepared liquids throughout each day and evening: juices, soups, teas, and shakes, served hourly from the moment of arrival. The precise recipes are not listed on the website, so enquiry and consultation with the staff are necessary before booking if you have specific dietary needs or restrictions. The programme operates year-round, and the Desert Hot Springs setting provides natural thermal water access, shaping the facility's amenities around thermal circulation and hydrotherapy as supporting structures. Guests receive unlimited access to the pools, hot jacuzzis, steam rooms, and saunas that make up the resort infrastructure.

Colon hydrotherapy is positioned as a central component, not an optional add-on. Each programme package includes a series of forty-minute colonics performed by the facility's therapists. The evidence for colon hydrotherapy does not support the claims often made for it, and this is important to know: the human colon does not require flushing to function, and repeated colonics carry small but real risks of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and bowel perforation. We Care Spa does not explicitly claim that colonics cleanse toxins or permanently alter digestion, but guests should be aware of the evidence gap before committing to multiple treatments. The facility does frame the colonics as assistance in "efficiently eradicating toxins," a framing that exceeds what the medical literature supports. If you have a history of bowel disease, a recent surgery, or take medications affecting electrolytes, medical clearance before enrollment would be prudent. The site offers no mention of pre-screening or physician consultation.

Daily structure includes morning and afternoon wellness offerings beyond the fasting protocol. Yoga classes, pilates sessions, fitness centre access, and evening rituals such as sound baths are part of every package. The exact hour-by-hour schedule is not published online; guests learn the daily flow upon arrival or by calling the facility at 1-800-888-2523. The therapeutic intention is rest and pause, so most activities are optional. Compulsory components appear to be the scheduled colonics, the hourly liquid nutrition, and accommodation at the facility itself; everything else is available as part of the all-inclusive structure but can be declined.

We Care Spa offers three fixed-length packages tailored to different commitment levels. The Revival Package is the shortest option at two nights, beginning around $1,677 per guest for double occupancy, and includes three days of liquid nutrition and two colonic treatments, but omits the digestive release massage offered in longer stays. The Renewal Package extends to five nights, starting around $4,184, and includes five days of liquid nutrition and four colonics plus digestive release massage and daily yoga. The Restoration Package is the flagship offering at seven nights, starting around $5,122, comprising eight days of liquid nutrition and six colonics alongside all wellness classes and massage therapies. All prices are framed as starting points; single occupancy is available at higher rates, and à la carte spa treatments such as facials, reiki, and hypnosis can be added at the guest's expense.

The facility differs from medical fasting clinics in its lack of clinical supervision. Therapeutic fasting under medical oversight, with regular monitoring and lab work, is an established clinical tradition with published literature supporting its use in specific contexts when done under a doctor's care. We Care Spa's approach is wellness-focused rather than medically supervised; no mention is made of on-site medical staff, physician screening of applicants, or any lab work at arrival or departure. This makes it appropriate for guests seeking a structured wellness retreat centred on rest and simplified nutrition, but not for those with complex medical histories who require medical oversight. Guests with diabetes, heart disease, on medication, or pregnant should not attend without explicit clearance from their own physician and would be better served by a medically supervised fasting clinic. The spa's testimonials mention guests with depression and grief, but offer no clinical outcomes or medical data.

The Desert Hot Springs location offers year-round mild weather, a rural setting away from urban stimulation, and the natural thermal water that made the region historically significant as a healing destination. The twenty-acre property provides space and privacy; the on-site amenities mean guests do not need to venture off-property during their stay. This works well for guests seeking retreat and minimal decision-making during their time there. The spa functions as a self-contained environment for the duration, which can reduce stress and support the fasting protocol's aims.

We Care Spa suits guests who are curious about juice fasting in a wellness context, in good general health without complex medical needs, and seeking a structured retreat with clear timings and on-site guidance. It is well suited to those interested in colon hydrotherapy as a wellness ritual, though those uncomfortable with the procedure should seek other options. It is not appropriate for anyone with a diagnosed medical condition, anyone taking medication that requires food intake, anyone with a history of eating disorders, or anyone pregnant or nursing. The packages are scalable enough that even a two-night trial is accessible, making it a low-commitment entry point into extended fasting in a supervised setting. The pricing is moderate for a week-long resort retreat when compared to other wellness destinations in California, though still a significant expense. The hourly nutrition approach and thermal access differentiate it from juice-only fasting clinics elsewhere.

The experience is fundamentally a pause: a week of reduced input, structured wellness routines, and thermal immersion in a controlled setting. Medical reversal of disease, lasting metabolic change, or permanent detoxification are not claims the facility makes, and should not be expected. What is offered is supervised rest, simplified nutrition, and wellness structure during a defined stay. For guests in that frame of reference, and without medical contraindications, We Care Spa provides an established and accessible route into therapeutic fasting with built-in accountability and community.
