I recently joined the Mumbai group for stage 1 of my dental treatment. All I can say is that I am glad that I chose to do this through My Body & Spirit. The service and treatment that I have received so far from My Body & Spirit has been impeccable. They have gone over and above and I was looked after so well; it has been like being part of a big family. Thank you. Looking forward to stage 2.

I believe Barb went above and beyond in her support for individuals on the tour and made a magnanimous effort to ensure we were safe and ready with our tours and that we all arrived home safe and sound following the pandemic crisis. Barb’s concern for us continued after we returned to our Aussie shores. She was incredible as were her employees back in Australia who efficiently and effectively coordinated our specific and unforeseen needs during the pandemic crisis.

I can highly recommend Noosa Travel/My Body & Spirit and Barb as a tour facilitator. The support and service each and every one of us received was highly professional, well considered, thoughtful, patient, unwavering and genuine. Noosa Travel will now be my preferred travel agent for future holidays/tours etc.

I doubt that you will find a more caring business than My Body & Spirit. Having travelled twice to India, I could not have been in safer hands. All my dental work is now completed. It is not just dental work that is taken care, but accommodation, when taxis are arriving to take you to your dental appointments, seeing the city, markets, tours and sights. Going out for meals together if you want to. Even where to go and get your washing done. You really do become a group of friends travelling together not a group of people doing something in common.

As a novelist it was great to have My Body & Spirit take care of the perplexity associated with medical holidays. The team at My Body & Spirit is very experienced and was very helpful organising all travels, nice accommodation, liaising with doctors and hospital staff as well as facilitating overseas payment for treatment. The team made realistic suggestions and took a consultative approach putting it all together. In all it was a good experience and I am all smiles.

My partner and I recently travelled to Mumbai for dental treatment which was organised through My Body & Spirit. My partner has spent the past 15 years of his life hiding his smile not only from the world, but from me too. My Aunty referred me to My Body & Spirit since having dental work carried out a few years ago. We started speaking with My Body & Spirit in mid-January 2020 and by mid February 2020 my partners life had changed forever. We were flown to India to meet with an amazing team of experienced doctors and nurses who couldn’t have been more kind and helpful, not to mention he had no pain at all! We can’t thank My Body & Spirit enough for what they’ve done for us. Without their help we would have never been able to afford to have this dental work carried out in Australia and we would have no idea where to start looking if we tried to do it ourselves overseas! Thank you, you’ve changed our lives!

My dental work in Saigon organised by Barbara at Noosa Travel was a total success. I met a wonderful, friendly and effective team at the hospital and have had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday in wonderful Vietnam.

March 2019 & October 2019- Dental
We needed extensive dental work done. A friend told us about Barb at My Body & Spirit. Barb took the hassle out of everything. We decided to get treatment in Vietnam. I had bone grafting and 10 dental implants; 6 on the bottom and 4 on top. No pain at all. The staff at the dental centre were very efficient and professional. My partner had a bone graft and dental implant plus one bridge. We have been to Vietnam for two trips; March & October 2019, and couldn’t speak more highly of first the way Barb arranged the whole package and second, the excellent service and professionalism from the dental centre. The cost was 40% of the Australian quote. Plus we had two holidays in Vietnam. Highly recommend!

At first I was nervous and excited to be embarking on this invasive, self-improvement work. Trusting the logistics to Noosa Travel/My Body & Spirit was easy and the process to follow in getting there was straight forward with guidance from Barbara and Kirra. Great information was given with the travel documentation before departure which was extremely useful once on the ground. The Ho Chi Minh dental and plastic surgery hospital is very much a “1st world standard” facility with a superb standard of hygiene, expertise and competency of practitioners. This is in no doubt after the first visit! I found the Vietnamese staff very welcoming, easy to talk to and highly courteous, compassionate and accommodating to all needs. The facility is a “one stop shop” for medical procedures, which takes the hassle factor away and streamlines the process no matter what you are having done, be it blood tests, x-rays, consultations or surgery. The equipment is modern and other facilities pleasing. I chose all my teeth being Zirconia crowns (no implants) plus an upper blepharoplasty during my 2 week visit. The dentistry work commenced first, followed by the eye surgery. Do allow plenty of recovery time from bruising and the procedures themselves, so a comfortable hotel room/facilities is important. I am absolutely delighted with the end results and only regret not doing this sooner. I feel far more confident and content within myself and after the initial getting used to the different look and feel of my new teeth and eyes, know that it was the right decision.
Don’t hesitate!

Initially when inquiring about dental treatment there was some apprehension, you know stories that you hear. The professional way the team at “My Body & Spirit” handled my questions and the information, their punctuality & testimonials on the website convinced me it was worth a try. Even my regular dentist & GP had good things to say not to mention the reduced expense with a holiday to boot!
I stop short of making a recommendation but have told family & friends that I could not be happier with quality of the dental work (& I am a health Professional) & the other arrangements from accommodation and organisational point of view were first class. I’m looking forward to returning to have an implant crowned. Only wish I could have had this done years ago & not had to be so self-conscious of my smile all my life!!

Barb organised a fabulous trip to Phuket for my wife & I for dental work. Barb advised on and organised the pre-assessments and our treatment plans were both very sophisticated in terms of technology and very affordable, at less than half the price of Australia. I was amazed with the proficiency and care at the hospital. Barb took care of all the details in terms of accommodation, transfers and a side trip to Bangkok. We combined a holiday with amazing dental work and came back with both souvenirs and new teeth. I would highly recommend My Body & Spirit!

My partner and I recently returned from Phuket. We both had dental work done. My doctor was wonderful, he was gentle and professional. We had the work done over 2 weeks, with 4 appointments. Gail at My Body & Spirit organised all our appointments and transfers to the hospital. I have always disliked my smile but the cost in Australia to fix my teeth was just too expensive. I had damaged my top front teeth after years of grinding and I had a lot of gaps. They were also very discoloured, so I also had Zoom Whitening on the bottom teeth. My dentist matched the porcelain teeth to my bottom teeth perfectly. I also got a mouth guard to wear while sleeping to protect my teeth at a fraction of what it costs in Sydney. Amazingly the experience was relatively painless as well! I am very happy with my teeth now and no longer hide my smile.
Gail from My Body & Spirit was fantastic. It was great to have Gail organise everything for us; the initial dental assessment, flights, accommodation, transfers & the dental appointments. It made the whole process very easy. I highly recommend My Body & Spirit.

October 2017 – Escorted Group Departure – Dental
I’ve recently returned from having dental treatment in Phuket with My Body & Spirit. I was one of 7 in the October 2017 group having treatment, four of us having dental. I was a bit apprehensive with having my treatment done overseas thanks to the negative feedback on media. After hearing of a number of people having dental work done in Thailand, I decided to go ahead with it. From the first call I made to Barb at MBS to the days following my return, Barb & Rhi have been amazing. The girls are quick to return calls and emails and answer any questions I had no matter how trivial. Everything was organised and presented to us right down to the finest detail, to make the whole travel/treatment experience worry free. The transport to/from the hospital was arranged for you and someone was there to help you every step of the way. The staff at the hospital were friendly and very professional making the whole process in regards to the treatment faultless and pain free (amazingly 
). It says a lot about our system here in Australia. I have to go back again for the second stage of my treatment next year and Rhi is on top of the arrangements for that already with the flights and accommodation quoted the following day to my making a call to her. Rhi was our group escort in October and she made the whole two weeks feel like we were on a VIP holiday . She was there for every one of us personally and as a group escort organising day tours, dinners, night entertainment, etc. All we had to worry about was meeting in the lobby at a certain time. If anyone is considering going to Thailand for Medical treatment I would personally recommend it, and if you want a 5 star company to organise that for you, give Barb and her girls a call at My Body & Spirit/Noosa Travel, you’ll be so happy you did, I was…

I attended the October 2017 group tour for dental work. My expectations were exceeded in the work performed by my dentist and his assistant. It was relatively pain free and I am totally happy with the outcome after years of ‘hating’ my teeth and smile. The tour group led by Rhi was well organised with nights at restaurants and shows if you wished. Everyone got on well and look forward to catching up with all again. I could only recommend to anyone considering treatment to talk to the crew from MBS for a memorable experience.

I cannot speak highly enough about the professional, friendly and knowledgeable assistance that Barbara and her team give to their clients. Since my dental trip 3 years ago i have become a willing spokes person for the services that they offer. I will be doing this even more after my facial corrective and cosmetic surgery. Barbara thinks of everything and has extensive knowledge of all the steps necessary to ensure that each client receives the help and support that they need. She will even send emails to clarify procedures or ask additional questions of the doctors on behalf of a client. I was saved from making an expensive mistake when I asked Barbara whether it would be okay to visit Chiang Mai after my surgery. She wisely recommended going there first.
September 2017 – Plastic Surgery
My experience was fantastic. From the organisation of surgeries to flights, to accommodation, everything went so smoothly. The hospital experience was brilliant and cannot fault the nurses, doctors and staff that I had contact with. Their beside manner was fantastic. I was kept informed every step of the way.
The booking experience was painless. Rhi was fantastic in getting all our details sorted and all we did was send off all the paperwork required and the rest was done for us.
The cost of everything was extremely reasonable and I thoroughly recommend the whole experience. Brilliant.

Last week I returned from a 2 week dental holiday in Phuket. I was very apprehensive about the whole trip as I am very nervous about all dental work. However, I realised I really needed to have the work done. Friends told me about their wonderful experience & encouraged me to sign up. My Body & Spirit at Tewantin, Qld were fabulous. Barb Sheriff & her husband John accompanied our group of about 14 people, took control of all transfers, any questions etc, as well as organised social trips & best places to eat. The experience was totally positive, even the time in the chair! It really was a wonderful holiday.
Thank you Barb, John & the lovely group of people I shared the experience with. Also the wonderful staff at the hospital. They were all extremely talented professionals as well as gentle, lovely people. Highly recommend.

My teeth had progressively worsened over the past eight years. Not only did I have a very large overbite, but my front teeth had large gaps between them.
I rarely smiled, and when I did I was guarded and aware of the abysmal state of my teeth. I would not have believed it but apparently this made me very guarded and unwilling to meet with people. i would say this affected my existence beyond simply having a few crooked teeth.
When I arrived at my dentist’s consulting room at the hospital, the dentist was rather taken back when examining my teeth personally, as the photo and x-rays had not given him a real appreciation of the problem that needed to be overcome.
However I truly believe my dentist is a genius, and overcome these problems he did, and now I have teeth and a smile with new energy.
I would not have been able to undertake such restorative, dental work in Australia as the expense would have been prohibitive for me, but going to Thailand has given me everything I had hoped.
This has been a truly fantastic and eye-opening experience and I have nothing but superlatives to offer to everyone at My Body & Spirit, who literally took care of every single eventuality, and to everyone at the hospital.

From the time I was picked up from the airport to the time I was dropped off for my return flight, the service from the hospital I was attending was over and beyond expectation. They made sure that I was there for every appointment on time, and that I was returned safely back.

I needed extensive dental work done and the cost in Melbourne was out of my reach. I researched getting my dental work done overseas and after many months of research chose My Body & Spirit. I was extremely nervous about going overseas to do this and with the help of friends in the dental industry we put both My Body & Spirit and the hospital under the microscope. With all the questions and emails we sent they all came back positive. I had my dental done in 2 lots, 2 weeks in January 2017 and 2 weeks in July 2017. I saved over $35,000.00 and that includes the 2 lots of 2 weeks flights and accommodation. I am very happy with the dental work done. The whole experience was very professional.

One dental holiday to Phuket was fantastic. We have already told a lot of friends that it is worth looking into if you want your teeth done. Barbara Sheriff was a fantastic host and to be in a group was really good as you get support from others going through the same thing and having wonderful dinners together. Thank you My Body & Spirit.

Recently went on an escorted trip to Phuket with My Body & Spirit for cosmetic surgery. The whole experience was very positive and I am thrilled with my outcome. From my highly qualified doctor, kind and caring nurse staff, and clean, modern hospital, I felt confident and comfortable. Having everything planned, and so well organised, was for me the best decision. All I had to do was relax, and rest in beautiful surroundings. I was well looked after.

I was lucky enough to hear about this opportunity through my mother, and My Body & Spirit provided me with the information and details. When I decided to go ahead and get it done, every last thing was taken care of for me – in terms of all the appointments, cost breakdown, transport, accommodation, etc – as well being part of a wonderful group of like minded people. It was a means to an end in getting 20/20 vision back, as well as having a wonderful holiday at the same time. I can’t recommend it highly enough! Just fabulous!

I was on the October 2016 group tour to Phuket for dental work. I highly recommend using My Body & Spirit for group tours. Barb was fantastic and took all the stress out of the experience. The doctors and staff at the hospital were very caring and efficient with my treatments and I’m very happy with the results. The tours that Barb organised for us were excellent and I appreciated the personalised shopping experience and tips on bartering.

October 2016 – Escorted Group Departure – Dental
I required dental work to be done and had been recommended by a friend, the company My Body and Spirit, Noosa Travel. I went on the October group to Phuket and from start to finish I can honestly say everything ran smoothly. All appointments, taxi service to and from hospital, meeting the group for meals and tours were well organised and professionally managed. I felt totally at ease with my work being carried out and would highly recommend going to Phuket for dental work. The staff worked at the highest standard and quality of workmanship puts Australia to shame. I found everything about this trip so professional and great quality that I will no longer be having any dental work carried out in Australia. To have two weeks holiday, meet new friends and get all my dental work done at the same time for half the price as you would pay here, is definitely the way to go. Well done and thank you My Body and Spirit for making dental work a pleasure.

I am a very nervous dental patient but the dentists and nurses were very reassuring and patient with me. They prescribed sleeping tablets to take before a couple of my more complicated appointments which helped. In addition, the staff throughout the hospital and at reception were always welcoming, friendly and helpful. The equipment and facilities were extremely clean and tidy and I didn’t have any concerns about inflection. Overall a very positive experience.

July 2016 – Escorted Group Departure – Plastic Surgery
The hospital was first class and all the staff were friendly, caring and very helpful. I am completely satisfied with the Doctor that treated me. The surgeon has a very gentle and caring nature and was very reassuring before and after surgery. The whole experience more than met my expectations, it was world class. I believe that My Body & Spirit has done a wonderful job. My transfers, accommodation, appointments and surgery appeared to run like clockwork. I believe that Barb did a wonderful job. Escorting us all to and from our appointments, she visited me while I was in hospital (It was a welcome smile to my day), and she organised shows and tours on our behalf as requested. Once most of us had finished our procedures she organised day and night trips as a group places I wouldn’t have ever know existed. I know it is hard to accommodate to so many tastes, and Barb did a brilliant job.

I have just returned from my first dental treatment experience in Phuket. My Trip was organised by the My Body & Spirit Team who were exceptional. Generally I cannot attend a dentist even for teeth cleaning without coming home and being on panadol for a week due to my mouth throbbing. I just couldn’t believe the difference in Phuket. I had my teeth cleaned, whitened, three lots of bridges, root canals and crowns, and all without pain and I mean no pain at all. The dental clinic staff are nothing short of fabulous and the standard of the dental clinic in terms of hygiene, presentation and the standards is extraordinary. I would not hesitate to recommend the dental hospital in Phuket.

I needed to have all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. In Australia this was going to be costly so I started to look for other options. I was in quite a bit of pain and needed them out ASAP. After finding My Body and Spirit I knew I had found my solution. My whole trip was organised through email, yet I still felt like I was getting the personal touch. Although offered to go with the group, who were there the same time as me, I opted to go it alone with my partner. We were picked up from the airport, no waiting around, and the next day there was an organised car to take us to the hospital. The whole procedure took around an hour and half. I was so impressed how quickly it actually took; But even more impressed with how long my healing took. Within three days my face swelling had gone down and by the end of the week my pain had pretty much all gone and I was back to eating all the normal foods. I could not recommend My Body and Spirit more! Everything was taken care of from the moment we landed in Phuket!

Barb and all the team were great from the very beginning – I appreciate everything that was organized and everything came together like clockwork – seeing as all our communication was done via emails or phone calls.
Phuket is a wonderful destination and I genuinely would love to be able to go back to visit tomorrow – Beautiful place.
All of my appointments were on time and my dentist even rescheduled my length of appointments to get all the work done before scheduled time which allowed my partner and I to experience more and sight see within Phuket.
The hospital was very professional, clean, friendly, dedicated and client focused.
I have already told a lot of people about my trip and have pointed them in the direction of My Body & Spirit and Noosa Travel.

If you have been reading the testimonials as I had done before contacting Barb you would have noticed a lot of people saying ”Beyond all expectations”.
I have just returned from having been on the October tour and now know why I was constantly reading this.
I needed major dental work and was very apprehensive to take the next step, from the time we first spoke to Barb we were immediately put at ease and the trip was booked!
THE VERY BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE!
The doctors and staff are second to none and the work performed was fast and very efficient and very professional and your comfort and care is of number one importance.
I walked out of the Phuket hospital a new person with a totally new lease on life smiling for the first time in forty years, wow what a game changer to finally be able to smile!
To top this all off, Barb’s team have all bases covered all I had to do was get to the lobby to get the taxi to the hospital, everything was organised for me.
The group tour was sensational I met some really amazing people from all walks of life undergoing similar treatment who really made the trip for me.
Our group leader was fantastic and went over and beyond for all on the trip. I, despite having major dental work had a fantastic holiday also visiting various islands, zip lining, evenings out and this also was organized for us by our group leader.
The total cost was of major importance and for the work I had done compared to having the work done in Australia I paid only a small portion of what it would have cost and with a holiday on top. The end result for me, 100% satisfied! Do yourself a favour and pick up the phone and make that call!!

My experience with My Body & Spirit was above and beyond my expectations. I decided to go ahead with the treatment following my initial consultation with Barbara because she was so knowledgeable about the treatment and she took the stress out of the decision making process. Every detail of my trip and treatment was taken care of, all I had to do was show up at the airport. The dental team were extremely professional and the treatment I received was of the highest standard. I cannot recommend Barbara and her team highly enough.

There is no way i would travel overseas and have surgery on my own. Being with the group made it a great experience because you could discuss what others experienced and you realised that was part of the healing or process or service. You did not feel alone and you could share your experience with others.
