happiness and balance.

Why is this detox different?

This programme is personalised to suit your needs and health with foods, spices, herbal remedies and detox formulas to suit your individual constitution and digestion. Treatment for health issues form part of your bespoke plan, this helps to treat the root cause of your digestive and other imbalances, as well as cleansing your body of toxins. Unlike fad diets that do not have lasting results (or treat personal health issues) these programmes give you tools to use after the detox has ended: you are educated on the correct foods and eating patterns for you to follow post-detox, your self-awareness increases, and you feel empowered to follow a healthier way of eating, living and being.

Once loosened, softened and mobilised these toxins can be gently removed from the body to give better health, greater energy, beautiful, glowing skin and eyes that shine with vitality. Where possible it is advised to have at least one or two therapies during a programme to help you relax and assist the process of detoxification.

Detox testimonials

Testimonials on the Detox as follows

"Loretta's expert consultation and tailor-made Panchakarma Detox plan meant I could comfortably achieve the cleansing and detoxifying programme whilst still working and feeling amazing throughout the two weeks - unlike a lot of other diet plans. The massage treatments - which feel amazing - helped me to relax and further cleanse my body as a whole. The valuable legacy of the Detox plan is that once you know the basic principles, you can continue to apply a healthy eating plan thereafter. In fact, my skin is still glowing, I lost weight and I generally feel much lighter and happier. Overall, Ayurveda is a wonderful system that makes sense and has given me much knowledge I can apply to my life." -- M.Z 2009

"I've been seeing Loretta for massages for a few years now and had discussed more than a few times over the last couple of my wish to lose some weight and feel good about myself. She suggested the Panchakarma detox plan. I had a big summer holiday planned and wanted to lose 14lbs if I could. So off I went and had a consultation with Loretta, roughly 2 months before my holiday. It was a lot to take on board but actually when I started the detox itself, it was very straightforward. I felt amazing whilst detoxifying and never ever hungry. The best part of the programme are the massages, so amazing!. I've been re educated about my lifestyle and eating habits and am still practising the good habits she has taught me. I did manage to lose 10lbs on the programme in two weeks which is incredible as I have a very slow metabolic rate. So my bikini body for Greece was well and truly flaunted!" -- Moira Chapman August 2010

I came to Loretta to take control of my eating habits and my addiction to sugar rich foods. I am ecstatic to say that I not only feel in charge of what I eat but my intake of sugar rich foods has significantly reduced. I stuck as close as possible to Loretta's bespoke Detox plan for me, which has resulted in an all round improvement of my health, including my awareness to make conscious decisions of what I put in my mouth. I cannot thank Loretta enough for enabling me to be in charge of my life and to create some new and empowering habits that I'll enjoy maintaining. I have lost a visible amount of unwanted fat and my energy levels has spiked. I finally feel in control of the food I eat and not the other way round! Thank you so much Loretta!

Hitesh, 29, Canary Wharf. (The Detox Diet 21 days)

I did my detox with Loretta, and I have to say it is one of the best things I did for myself. I had put on 20 kilos during my pregnancy and a year after the birth of my son I had only managed to shift 5 kilos. During the detox, which I did after I had finished breastfeeding, I lost a total of 5 kilos over the month. It was hard, but Loretta was fantastic coaching me all the way through it. Since the Detox( over a few months), I found it quite easy to shift the last 10 kilos and keep it off. I don't know what the detox did to me, but since I have done it, I eat normally, and the weight has stayed off! I don't think I could have done it without the detox. Thank you for helping me get back to my old self, and I recommend it for everyone!

"I did Loretta's detox program because I wanted to give my digestion a restful period before Autumn/Winter and also I wished to be slightly slimmer prior to a seaside holiday. I was not after a profound change in diet lifestyle as my diet is already composed of fairly simple foods and I hardly drink, but for example I wanted to break my dependency on caffeine. After the consultation, I found the printed instructions easily laid out to follow, and I learnt valuable information, plus of course Loretta was readily available to answer any queries and offer support and alternatives. The massages I had with her are also the best I've ever tried. I never wavered from eating the prescribed foods and supplements, and the four - six weeks passed quickly enough, I would say it takes a couple of weeks to remember all one has to do in order to switch effectively, let friends/family know that one's meals will be different from theirs, take self prepared food to work etc. But it was all worth it. I was very pleased with the results, so much so that I now plan to repeat this detox plan once a year and am my partner will follow it too."- Julia Jones PA
