Why Detox?

Detoxing can be challenging when you have to provide meals for loved ones, socialise with friends or try to avoid the workplace canteen. Instead, being in a dedicated peaceful space like Hillside Haven creates an optimal environment to detox successfully, when you can focus on yourself. 

People may be aware that fasting and juicing have many detoxing benefits including removing toxins, improving wellbeing, boosting immunity and increasing vitality. Whatever your health issues are, detoxing is a great way to begin the healing process, while pausing your dependence on food and cravings. 

Water fasting is believed to support cell renewal, improve insulin sensitivity, and help reset the immune system. For beginners, a three-day fast with filtered water and Celtic salt is recommended.

Losing weight initially is minimal and not the goal, but instead, it's about recreating healthier eating habits, leading to a more balanced diet and relationship with food, resetting your cravings and empowering you to take control. 

Juice cleanses are believed to provide easy-to-digest nutrients, promote hydration, and jumpstart healthy habits, while resting from the daily intake of additive carbs, sugar and animal products. 

Use your time to experiment with these options, and use mind mastery techniques to empower you to hit your detox goals.

Founders Story

Founders Story

“I left the UK to find a more serene and simple existence surrounded by nature and sunshine. Combining lifestyle change with years of experience in coaching, I aspire to empower guests during their stay.

During our initial one-to-one session we will discover your desired outcome for your visit. If you add additional coaching, tapping or meditation these will be personalised to achieve your goals. I specialise in breaking down the stories we tell ourselves, discovering the power of your why, overcoming limited beliefs and procrastination, and setting clear intentions with a step-by-step action plan.

My intention is that you leave with a clearer vision, a greater sense of gratitude, a relaxed nervous system, and a renewed sense of empowerment.”
