They are offered as additional extras to the price of the retreat, and will be arranged and maintained through Benita. All treatments are booked on the opening night, and scheduled according to need and availability.

Dynamic Detox Massage:

This treatment is deeply releasing and relaxing and is highly recommended during your retreat to help you and your body unwind from the stresses and strains you have brought with you. It includes rocking, deep stroking, kneading, stretching, and percussion to release locked in tension from overworked muscles; to breathe deeply, sigh, and relax. Body massage is beneficial to get you through physical discomforts that the Detox process might bring. It is warming, awakening and nourishing, deep but never bracing, and always in response to your current state.

Shiatsu massage:

Shiatsu is a powerful, relaxing style of massage that developed centuries ago in Japan. It incorporates a range of techniques, from gentle stretches to deep pressure work applied with fingers, hands or forearms. This strong physical aspect leaves the body wonderfully open and relaxed. But the strength of shiatsu is its focus on balancing the flow of the body’s energy, or Chi, through work on acupressure points and the channels this energy flows through. The emphasis is on unblocking stagnant energy and strengthening areas where it’s weak, leaving the receiver revitalised and centred. Treatments take place fully clothed on a mat on the floor, so please wear loose comfortable clothing for your session.

Oriental Detox:

This treatment is a combination of therapies based on Oriental medicine. It consists of ½ hour of ear acupuncture followed by ½ hour of Shiatsu-based bodywork tailored to maximize and support your detox experience. Ear acupuncture stimulates points on the ear which relate to other parts of the body by the insertion of small needles. It is used widely in drug and alcohol rehab programmes as it has been found to be very helpful in aiding detoxification. Your treatment will focus on organs which are working hard during your detox, such as the kidneys, liver, and colon. Having combined ear-acupuncture with Shiatsu in a detox setting for several years, I have witnessed its balancing and invigorating effects on fasting clients over and over again, and recommend it as a well-rounded treatment, beneficial to your detox.

Aromatherapy body massage:

This treatment uses the subtle benefits of aromatherapy oils to help you and your body with the Detox process, bringing balance and gentle support when you feel more delicate or when you prefer a  touch. The treatment involves slower and lighter stroking movements, gentle pressure on pressure points, with more focus on the transmission of healing energy and balancing of energy flow. This treatment covers the back, shoulders, head and limbs and takes one hour.

Holistic Facial Treatment:

A luscious and pampering treatment, using the Australian Miessence skin care range which is 100 % organic, based on Aloe Vera, Jojoba, essential oils and herbal extracts. The facial treatment involves a facial massage, a three-step cleansing routine (cleanse, exfoliant, mask), followed by conditioning and moisturizing applications .This treatment takes about one hour.

Top and Toe:

Combines the benefits of a neck and shoulder massage, with the relaxing and balancing qualities of a reflexology treatment. The tow treatments from which this is drawn are quite different, and complimentary, This treatment aims to give you the best of both of these worlds.

Reflexology:

This treatment of the feet has a longstanding reputation for being an excellent balancer to all the bodily functions and organs, as well as being a channel for emotional release and integration. Some people experience spiritual and exquisite sensations during the treatment, others drop into a state of deeply nourishing relaxation. The effects of reflexology keep surprising me, even after 10 years of practicing this simple therapy. I would recommend it specifically for people who have a chronic medical condition such as hormone or blood pressure imbalance or for people with psychosomatic conditions such as IBS. For those who feel shy and held back regarding full body treatments, reflexology is a wonderful alternative. The first reflexology treatment takes almost one hour. Follow up treatments last 30 minutes. For those choosing this form of therapy, a set of 3 treatments is recommended.

Abdominal Massage:

An abdominal massage aims to enhance the effectiveness of the colonic irrigation. It brings awareness into the abdominal area. Helps to relax and release constrictions in those intestinal muscles. It involves a slow and deep pressure combined with soothing, stroking movements to penetrate deep into the tissues of the bowel.

Lymphatic Detox Massage:

Manual lymphatic drainage maximizes the movement of stagnant tissue fluids (which tend to be toxic) towards the lymph nodes. It is helpful in shedding toxins from fat deposits under the skin such as tummy and thighs and draining areas of water retention. This treatment is recommended for obese people, people with toxic overload (such as smokers or people suffering from ME) and people who have poor circulation generally. A lymphatic drainage treatment is very gentle and flowing in nature. It is recommended from around day 3 of the retreat.

La Stone Massage:

LaStone (Hot stone massage) therapy combines the benefits of hydrotherapy (water therapy) and thermotherapy (heat therapy) with massage techniques, to create a deeply relaxing and healing treatment. The flat, river stones are warmed in water, in a special heater, to between 125 and 135 degrees. Some of the stones are then placed on strategic places on your body, while others are used for deep tissue massage. Cooler stones are also used to create contrast and stimulate blood flow in certain areas. The benefits of LaStone massage include: improved circulation, improved blood flow to tissues, improved elimination of toxins and waste products.

Astrology Consultation:

An Astrology reading offers you the possibility to look into the mirror of your astrological chart, gain insight and perspective from it and understand better where you are at in your life with your family, work, love life, ambitions, expectations and disappointments .In the session we can take any focus, depending on what is important to you and we talk about the landscape and possibilities for you as reflected by your natal chart and the transits of the planets. The consultation is non-judgmental and aims to bring you in touch with a deep sense of wonder and self respect for your being and the gifts that you bring to this life. In terms of guidance, I do not predict future happenings but I can describe the energetic climate in which things will take shape. The future is always yours, unknown and pregnant with the choices that only you can make… In order to draw your chart, I will need your place, date and time of birth, so those of you who have no clue about the exact time of birth, ask your parents. If you cannot provide the exact time of birth, certain areas of your chart will remain vague and indications will be less specific. An astrology session lasts an hour and a half. You will also receive a digital CD recording of the session for you to take home.
