Letters To Karuna Detox

Karuna Detox™ can be a Life Detox!

IVF pregnancy after Detox Retreat

I came a year ago just before commencing IVF and was pregnant two months later on my first IVF attempt. We welcomed our baby girl Sydney into this world on Aug. 3rd 2009. You may remember a Canadian Lady from Bristol, Lindsay, who was also embarking on IVF and who also fell pregnant soon after her detox and welcomed a baby boy into the world a couple of months ago. I've no doubt this detox holiday really helped.

Blessings and thank you, have a happy detoxed New Year!

Superhero ; ) makes super sensible eating choices

I enjoyed my first detox retreat experience 3 years ago but I feel more energised and positive this time.... everything we have discussed all week long makes perfect sense to me..

Last time, I allowed people to make fun or mock my healthy eating choices but this time I won't let it bother me because I know now that I'm right! Having that knowledge has made me feel like a superhero with a special power.
Warm regards & smiles,

Life Fantastic, Detox wakes spirit up

This January I came here to stop eating crap and lose a bit of weight but I got so much more than that!
I had a completely spiritual and life awakening... shedding emotional toxins in addition to physical ones. I feel connected to nature and the universe in a way I never experienced before and actually really want to eat healthy and life giving foods!! Just got into the green smoothies and made raw chocolate - it's amazing!

My life is so FANTASTIC at the moment, and it's all down to the detox & diet... been singing your praises around London. Thank you!!!

No Cravings for sugar, bread, coffee or dairy

Just had my smug smoothie, so feeling er, smug. They really keep me going and since January retreat, I find I have no cravings for sugar or bread, coffee or dairy - any of the old addictions. Have been eating a big raw salad or nori wraps or the courgette linguini thing for lunch and a green juice with psyllium around 6. That's all I need at the moment and I have so much energy I'm swimming, running and flying around with the children.

No more headaches, hot flushes or Office Flu!

.. haven’t caught a single cold since (Sep. 09 detox retreat), even though my entire floor was down with the flu before Christmas.

I was the only one not to get it!! Ha!!

I used to have non-stop hot flushes, I put it down to stress and rushing, but I haven't had one since Karuna. I also find that I don't get headaches anymore.

First Christmas in 4 years that I haven’t been ill as well.

Life Style Changed

Am not drinking or smoking (3 and a half years now). My lifestyle properly changed first in your good hands, over in Spain in year 2000, for which I will always be grateful.

I am studying to be a cognitive hypnotherapist and will qualify in July.

Merry Christmas!

Positive, focused energy & sleep

Just three weeks ago i was hardly sleeping, tired all the time, moody and irritable - now i have so much energy, positive, focused and sleeping very well.

In such a short amount of time I made so many changes, with my diet, and emotionally. I feel like a different person. I feel so light and calm as if I am at peace with myself.

I expected just to detox and received the wonderful gift of also changing my life!!!

Thanks again for a wonderful week and a fantastic journey!

Lost almost 2 stone, healed relationships, opened to love

Darcy_Dream_web

On November '08 retreat and had the most transformational and rejuvenating experience there.

I was truly inspired by your message to let my body be my guide.

I have made raw food a big part of my life, and what an amazing change!

After losing at least 10lbs on the retreat, I lost another stone (at least!) in the two months following.

Over Christmas alone, spent with my family - who are not raw, to say the least, I managed to lose 10 lbs (when most people gain this much!).

To measure the changes just in terms of weight lost is a gross underestimation. During my week with you, I healed very old, and some new, emotional scars and traumas (thanks especially to Anna and my journey experience). My family relationships are a source of incredible happiness now, where they used to cause stress and anxiety. I released a huge amount of fear and blockage.. opened my mind to the joy and opportunities around me. ... I'm not surprised to say, I've met the man of my dreams, and am deeply in love with someone truly kind, loving, and inspiring.

Lost over a stone with supportive environment

My May detox was the best ever, far better than samui as your environment is so supportive, I've lost over a stone and am definately more aware of nutrition.
Thank you and all the team again, I have recommended you to my friends and I will definately be back.

Skin and energy levels - transformed

The retreat really was life-changing for me. My weight seems now to be stabilizing at a level [78 kg] that is a full 5 kg lighter than when I arrived.

My skin and energy levels – have been transformed in just over a fortnight.

Perhaps for the first time, I can feel that my body is leading things... and now my head is here to help it – rather than get in the way.

Stopped drinking... Looking & feeling 10 years younger!

Since my June retreat in 2007 I have stopped drinking alcohol completely! The retreat has totally changed my life and I can honestly say I have never felt better. I have managed to stay at my post retreat weight, and feeling amazing every morning and full of energy is more appealing than waking up with a hangover!

Its really odd, I just don't want to drink any alcohol at all. If you had told me 6 months ago that by xmas I would no longer drink or smoke (gave up 2 weeks before retreat) and would drop to a size 10/12 I would never, ever have believed it.

My spare bedroom has become my yoga room and I paint and sew in there too when I can, something that didn't happen 'before detox'. There are so many more hours to the day.

Everyday people are saying to me, wow, you look amazing and, wow you have lost loads of weight - it fills me with confidence.

My new found healthy living has really made me look and feel 10 years younger. My eyes, skin, hair, everything looks great :)

I cant wait to do it again! See you soon. Thanks again!

Meaningful Positive connection with body & self

You provided me with a jumpstart back into a more meaningful lifestyle. I was looking for a way out of depression of four years and help to address my obesity and what led me to a negative state. You have given me this and a positive connection with my body and self.

I was treated with care and dignity and with an easy inspiring elegance that encouraged me to trust the process and get confidence to 'let go' to new ways of thinking and feeling.

Sho, Heather, Tim, Anna, Ali - A beautiful team of specialists. Responsive, kind and fun, not patronising and clearly deeply knowledgable and expereinced with great integrity and genuine care for wellbeing. This is SPECIAL, I think.

I rate the retreat 10/10 - there was depth and breadth, order, structure & flexibility. I appreciated the excellent facilities, beautiful environment, supportive context and good quality and quantity of resources.The best out of the three I've been on. I can't imagine a better one really. It is hard to improve on perfection!

Coming here was one of the best decisions I have ever made & money well spent.

Thank You! Love,

Catherine

Not in the grips of food cravings anymore

I eat a lot less, It gave me space to realise all the rubbish I put in my body. I can safely say that six weeks on, I am having daily bowel movements, something I have never experienced!

I no longer crave sweet stuff, and can look a chocolate caramel square in the face in and put it back in the cupboard - amazing!

I am more relaxed about food, not in the grips of food cravings any more and really eat a lot slower than I used to... and I haven't put any weight that I lost back on.

I feel so much better within myself. So thanks for everything!

Voted most Loving enjoyable detox retreat ; )

I felt I received individual care for my particular circumstances and I am now refocussing on living 100% to take care of this body and feeling I am able to do this easily.

I have been on many detox retreats over the years and this is the most loving, supportive, well balanced and enjoyable! I will reccomend it to everyone, BEST EVER! I am booking for the next year now!

All sessions were very informative and enjoyable, Sho is a great communicator.
Support was excellent in quality and attention to detail. The dinner at the end was beautifully presented and delicious. Mmmm! The organisation was amazing, it all flowed.

Congratulations and thank you to you all. You have created a dream, a seamlessly nurturing experience.

Love to you all,

Kishori

Blood Pressure Amazement

I went to the GP this evening and had my blood pressure checked and to my surprise it was 136/80 which is just amazing. I was so happy I didn't know what to do with my self . You see I have been taking water tablets for about 1 year and half and stopped taking them the very first day I started the retreat and haven't taken any more since. I am so happy about my blood pressure because this has been concerning me for so long.

I know now that I must remain stress free and try and keep my weight down. To be honest with you since returning to my normal every day life I have not stressed about anything so far and I just hope it stays this way.
