THE DETOX JOURNEY
Common reactions during detox:
Mild discomfort can be normal; however, you should feel overall stable and functional. Symptoms that are intense, persistent, or worsening should be addressed promptly with our Wellness Centre staff.
During a detox, it’s common to experience fluctuations in how you feel—periods of increased energy followed by moments of discomfort. This is a normal and expected response. As your body releases and clears stored waste, you may experience temporary symptoms such as: headache, body/muscle aches, rashes, disturbed sleep, low energy, emotional release. These may be related to shifts in fluid balance and electrolytes, changes in blood sugar regulation, hormonal signaling, or short-term alterations in the gut microbiome.
Transform Your Body & Movement by Strength Training
The first stage of the retreat involves immersing yourself in detox. We encourage you to use this time to detox on all levels of your health—detox the mind through meditation, detox the emotions through journaling, rejuvenate your body through yoga. For the physical body, our liquid-only detox is a therapeutic approach to fasting and detox that facilitates a comprehensive metabolic reset. Through a combination of modern science and ancient wisdom, our program is designed to address several aspects of detoxification at once, whether it’s environmental toxins or chronic internal imbalances and cellular aging. Functional drinks, herbal supplements, and medicinal elixirs and teas, along with daily self-administered colonics, are all combined in this holistic program. Through this approach, we give the body space to calm inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity and restore balance to the gut and microbiome.
Psyllium & Clay Shake
Psyllium Husk: A prebiotic, soluble fiber that helps to sweep accumulated waste and toxins through the colon.
Bentonite Clay: A highly absorbent volcanic clay that has a remarkable ability to attract and bind to toxins, heavy metals, pathogens, and pesticide residues in the gut. Once bound to the clay, these substances are carried out of the body through elimination rather than being recirculated into the bloodstream.
Lymphatic Drink
Calendula flower tea: A herb that stimulates and supports the movement of lymphatic fluid. Calendula’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties further support the immune system during a detox, helping the body process and neutralise what it is releasing.
Apple Cider Vinegar: A traditional detox aid that supports liver function, helps to alkalise the body, and balances stomach acid.
Pre & Probiotics Shake
Liquid Probiotics and Psyllium Husk: A complementary combination that introduces beneficial bacteria into the gut and restores microbial balance, while the prebiotic function of psyllium husk feeds beneficial organisms
Green Juice
(Cucumber, celery, coriander, mustard greens, ginger and lime): A chlorophyll-rich blend designed to hydrate deeply at a cellular level, mobilize heavy metals, activate liver detoxification, stimulate circulation, and provide vitamin C to support immunity and enhance the absorption of plant-based nutrition.
Vegetable Broth (Slow-cooked vegetables and spirulina, with sides of turmeric, moringa, lime, miso, garlic):
A nourishing, mineral-dense broth that provides a full spectrum of electrolytes, amino acids, and and phytonutrients from the vegetables in an easily digestible, gut-friendly form
- Spirulina: A highly nutritious superfood that is also a powerful binder of heavy metals
- Turmeric: A renowned anti-inflammatory
- Moringa: Rich in nutrients and antioxidants
- Garlic: A potent antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral agent. Also supports liver detoxification
- Lime: Vitamin C
- Miso: Introduces beneficial enzymes and gut-supportive fermented cultures
Elixirs (1 per day): A wide range of fresh pressed or decoction herbals that support your detox.
Herbal Tea: Enjoy unlimited herbal tea from our extensive menu.

Frequently asked questions about your detox holiday retreat
What's difference between a fast, detox and cleanse?
The terms “detox” and “cleanse” refer to dietary and lifestyle practices that help remove toxins or impurities from the body actively.
A detox program involves a short-term dietary plan that aims to eliminate toxins from the body, usually through fasting, juicing and supplements. The primary goal of a detox program is to rid the body of accumulated toxins and reestablish balance in the body’s systems actively.
On the other hand, a cleanse is similar to a detox but usually refers to a more long-term and sustainable approach to a healthy lifestyle. Cleanses typically involve making dietary and lifestyle changes that support the body’s natural detoxification processes. Such as eating a balanced, nutrient-dense diet, staying hydrated, and engaging in regular exercise.
What is a Colonic?
Colonic, also known as colonic irrigation, involves the infusion of water or other liquids into the rectum to flush out the colon. Advocates of the practice believe that it can improve digestive health and overall well-being. Prior to the procedure, a wellness consultant will typically conduct a consultation. Which will ask about your medical history and help complete wellness summary forms.
Is Detox right for me?
In our daily lives, numerous factors can disrupt our detoxification, metabolic, and digestive systems. These factors may include stress, poor dietary and nutritional habits, lack of physical activity, environmental pollution, and personal crises. Living in a stimulating society can also have an impact. The consequences of these disturbances can be observed in your health and well-being. You may find that you cannot handle stress as effectively as before and experience anxiety and depression.
Your sleep patterns may be interrupted, and your elimination may not be as thorough, resulting in more gas, bloating, and indigestion than usual. These are early signs of reduced performance in your digestion, metabolic, and detoxification processes, leading to an accumulation of toxins and an imbalance in your gut flora. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it may be time to detoxify your body.

We have helped thousands of guests from all over the world reset, rejuvenate, and achieve their wellness goals. We offer a full fast detox with herbal supplements, elixirs, and daily colonics.

How should I prepare for my 3.5 to 10.5 day fasting?
For optimal results from the program, we suggest reducing your caffeine intake, particularly coffee and black tea, to lighter options such as green tea or herbal tea at least 3-5 days prior to your arrival. Additionally, we recommend incorporating fiber-rich foods like vegetables and fruits as your main dish. And limiting your protein intake to a small portion on the side. Furthermore, it is advisable to avoid consuming simple carbohydrates like white flour, white rice, alcohol, and dried fruits.
Do I get to eat on my detox program?

Are your colonic administered by someone else?
At our facility, we firmly believe that the colonic process is a personal one, which is why we require our clients to self-administer their colonics. However, rest assured that we provide detailed instructions on how to do it correctly, ensuring that you feel confident and comfortable throughout the process.
