Our Team
Gerald - Retreat Coordinator and Detoxification Specialist (Level I and II)
I have been juicing for many years and decided to set up this residential juicing retreat in the beautiful Cotswolds, so others can share in the benefits that I've experienced. I'm passionate about the benefits of juicing, as I have seen in myself and others the health improvements (including healing illnesses) and overall change in well-being that can arise from allowing the body to detox with fresh juices.
I am a qualified Detoxification Specialist (level I and II) with the International School of Detoxification (Dr Morse nd) and a Nutritionalist. I co-ordinate your retreat, and offer Detoxification Consultations with programmes of support.
I have a wonderful group of therapists and yoga/fitness teachers that will also support you in your detox journey, and very much look forward to meeting you.
Alesha- Retreat Host
Health, healing and empowerment has been my passion for the last 30 years with a sincere heart felt desire to inspire others to go to the very core of their true being where their sacred wisdom resides. I love to create nurturing safe environments for this awakening process to occur allowing raw truth to transform and heal.
I am a naturally gifted intuitive, empathetic, and medium and I have explored, trained and studied in the fields of natural health, detoxification, vibrational medicine, mysticism, energy healing, Non-Dualism philosophy and the psychological fields of human potential. The foundation of my qualifications and experience is as an Emotional and Transpersonal Psychotherapist, and a Trained Trainer in NLP. I am also a qualified and practising Homeopath and Meditation Teacher. In the last 3 years I have been exploring the use of raw food, herbs and juices whilst studying and training with the International School of Detoxification (Dr Morse nd) to address and optimise my own health and healing. I believe Health is a state of body and wellness is a state of being. www.soulconcept.co.uk
Marianne - Therapist
I trained as a Reflexologist in 1996 and loved it so much that I continued my training in other complimentary therapies, with Zero Balancing, Energy Healing, Reiki and Sports/Remedial Massage.
It is my firm belief that the body’s natural state is that of health & wellbeing. Dis-ease be it physical, emotional or mental, is an indicator that something is out of balance & there are many possibilities for healing by understanding how our belief patterns, emotions & nutrition shape our lives today. From here we are able to journey back to health, bringing the light of awareness, love & healing into the places of dis-harmony. I feel that all people benefit from nurturing touch, and with experienced hands so much can be accomplished from a relaxing massage, to much deeper work.
Rachel - Reconnecting with Nature
After completing a degree in physical geography and then learning about how to heal the land with sustainable land use, I realised much of the imbalance and illness we experience comes from our broken relationship with nature, and the disconnect from experiencing ourselves as nature.
Inspired, I went on to train with native plant spirit healers in Africa, South America and metis in the USA. I also later gained qualifications in Traditional Thai massage, and then completed plant spirit medicine practitioner training with Eliot Cowan and a sacred plant medicine apprenticeship with Stephen Harrod Buhner. I work to encourage people to find their own wellness and state of balance through their relationship with the natural world.
Nicki - Personal Fitness & Pilates Trainer
I qualified as a Personal Trainer with the Asian Association for Sports and Fitness Professionals while living in Hong Kong in 2008, and i have recently also qualified with Premier Fitness International. I am also qualified to teach Kettlebells, Circuit training, Running Technique and Boxing/Padwork.
I am passionate about exercise and nutrition and believe anyone can achieve a long term healthy lifestyle with the right support and encouragement. I am a keen runner and currently training for a Half Marathon. I love rowing and as member of Gloucester Rowing Club hope to be competing later this year. I enjoy working with people of all ages and fitness levels and can adapt programs to suit every ability.

Wayne - Intuitive Healer
I am a multi-faceted natural Healer. Everything in our life carries a meaning and a message. Behind all pains, traumas, illnesses and suffering there are meanings, beliefs and patterns. I will assist you with unraveling these so they may be released and freed from your body. Everyone is unique and, every session requires a different open-minded approach, allowing individual change for each client.
I allow myself the space to give each client what they need in that moment to help them move forward. Deeply trusting my intuition and using many different techniques to assist clients. I am aware that issues that affect us can arise from as early as being in the womb and I work with that in mind releasing traumas and blockages as far back as before birth. I believe my clients choose to see me because instinctively they know I am able to help them. Love and light. Wayne.
