Mini Health Retreat
Tailored Wellness Solutions
Your Relax & Destress Mini Health Retreat starts with yoga and meditation to help you relax followed by a consultation with our experienced Ayurvedic Doctors. Our doctors will discuss any health concerns or issues you are facing and determine your unique dosha (body type and constitution) to create a personal wellness and lifestyle plan for you. Your ayurvedic lifestyle plan includes specific treatments and self care routines along with food and lifestyle recommendations to ensure you can maximise the health benefits long after the retreat has finished.
Mental, Physical & Spiritual Rejuvenation
Our Relax & Destress Mini Health Retreats take a holistic approach to health and address physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing to leave you feeling refreshed, revitalised and deeply rejuvenated.
Nourishing Healing Foods
In Ayurveda, food plays a crucial role in health and wellbeing which is why we provide delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals tailored to suit your unique dosha along with unlimited herbal infusions. Our foods are designed to support healing, digestion and detoxification to help reboot and rebalance your system.
Serene Environment
As part of your mini health retreat, you are invited to reconnect with yourself out in nature and enjoy our 12-acre estate with expansive grounds, heart shaped labyrinth, lush gardens, serene walks and sacred spaces for relaxation, reflection and contemplation.
Relax & Destress Mini Health Retreat Treatments
Our one-and-a-half-day mini retreats provide exceptional value for money, with an initial consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor, 10 individual treatments, yoga & meditation classes along with overnight accommodation, meals and unlimited herbal infusions. Your treatment program includes:
Yoga, Meditation & Breathwork
To start the day, our therapists will guide you through a gentle yoga class along with guided meditation and breathwork to help create a sense of peace and stillness.
Yoga, meditation and breathwork can profoundly affect the mind, body and wellbeing. They are powerful tools to help you manage stress / anxiety, build self-awareness and increase concentration and focus. Regular yoga, meditation and breathwork practices have been proven to help induce relaxation, reduce stress, heart rate and blood pressure, and can help decrease pain and inflammation.
Consultation With Ayurvedic Doctor
All our doctors and therapists are qualified, accredited practitioners offering authentic, classical Ayurveda treatments. During the consultation, the doctor will ask you a series of questions about your health and lifestyle and then examine your tongue and check your pulse to help determine your dosha (constitution) type. We are all made up of a mix of the three doshas (Pitta, Vata and Kapha), but one will often dominate, and this will determine the best treatment program and herbal formulations to suit your unique situation.
Please note that our retreat does not provide mental health counselling or therapy services. If you have been diagnosed with or are currently experiencing mental health conditions such as severe anxiety, depression, or other psychiatric concerns, we advise that you consult a healthcare professional to assess whether our retreat is suitable for your needs. Our programs are designed for general wellness and may not be appropriate for individuals requiring specific mental health support.
Ayurvedic Steam Bath x 2
An Ayurvedic steam bath is not like an ordinary bath; it is a specially designed seated steam chamber that circulates steam around the body below the head.
Steam opens the pores, allowing the herbal scrub to penetrate deep down through the skin into the blood and tissues for maximum detoxification. As the steam penetrates deep into the muscle and connective tissue, it can relieve muscle tension along with pain and stiffness in the joints.
Signature Abhyanga Massage x 2
Our signature Abhyanga massage is a restorative Ayurvedic massage, unlike any other massage. It is a blissful sensory experience delivered with beautiful music, warm herbal oil and gentle strokes that follow the body’s energy lines (marma). It incorporates the whole body including the head, face, neck, shoulders, fingers and feet for a totally relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
Cleanse, detox and revitalise
The massage oil is treated with herbs that cleanse and detoxify the body and create a fragrant aroma. Our massage uses long, sweeping strokes focused on the acupressure points (marma), which release energetic blockages, stimulate the lymphatic system (immunity), improve circulation, and create a beautiful sense of nurturing and wellbeing.
Ayurvedic Body Scrub x 2
Following your massage, your therapist will formulate a special herbal scrub (paste) and rub it into the skin. The herbal paste helps to condition skin, increase circulation, cleanse impurities and detox the body.
Indian Head Massage
An Indian head massage is a great way to help relieve stress and tension in the head, neck and shoulders. It goes well beyond the physical and can deliver mental and emotional benefits that can lead to feelings of deep relaxation, profound clarity and oneness.
The treatment works by gently massaging the marma (acupressure) points along the head neck and shoulders with special oil to release energetic blockages and allow vital energy (prana) to flow. The gentle massaging movement increases blood flow to deliver more oxygen to the brain, boosts the lymphatic system (immunity), conditions the scalp and nourishes the hair follicles and roots, which can help strengthen the hair and help reduce hair breakage and loss.
Facial Marma Massage
Our facial marma massage is so much more than a facial. It is a gentle treatment that helps to dissolve stress, tension and headaches. Warm herbal oils are tenderly massaged into the skin and light touch is used to stimulate specific energy points (marma) in the face.
The therapeutic oil, combined with gentle manipulation of the marma (acupressure) points, helps to release energetic and emotional blockages, stimulate the lymph nodes (immunity) and increase blood flow whilst nourishing and hydrating the skin.
Footbath
A warm footbath is often administered before treatments to help relax clients and draw out impurities from the feet. The footbath contains Epsom salts and aromatherapy oils to nurture and detox the body.
