Cleansing for Life Detox Retreat

At the end of the 10 day retreat with Anne-Lise (& Kelly) I felt that I had moved a huge step forward in improving my colon health - and better health in general. Anne-Lise's in depth, inexhaustible knowledge of nutrition and health matters and her energy and attention to detail were second to none. The advice received all seems to be very appropriate for the problems that I have – it’s up to me now to take this on board.

If you’re apprehensive about colon hydrotherapy then treatments with Anne-Lise will put you at ease – her manner and gentleness and thoroughness are a credit to her many years of experience in this field. The massages were also excellent (actually highlighted an area that my physiotherapist had not found).

Kelly’s yoga lessons were lovely – attuned to the needs of the group.

Recommended!

Simply life changing! Everything was very well thought out and beautifully executed.
Will be going again....

I arrived with a number of health issues and left 4 days later feeling better than I have done for a long time and 10 years younger! It was a wonderful experience, the juices were delicious and the various treatments, massages and yoga classes made the time fly by. I can't recommend this highly enough and as soon as the dates are announced for November I will be rebooking!

I have just completed my first 7 day juice feasting detox retreat with Anne-Lise Miller at the Burlington Hotel in Folkestone and I feel incredibly well! I started out the week feeling exhausted, lethargic and generally under the weather. By the end of the week, thanks to Anne-Lise's treatments and massages, the delicious juices (and pre & post detox salads) prepared by Maria and Kelly Sangiuseppe and Kelly's yoga sessions I felt lighter and brighter, both mentally and physically. The programme was professional organised and the spa facilites are chic, modern and well designed. I will be back later this year!

I’ve just spent 10 days at the (very good) Burlington Hotel in Folkestone, doing a total tissue cleanse detox, with Anne-Lise Miller and her colleagues from the hotel, Maria and Kelly Sangiuseppe. The whole programme was well designed and professionally delivered in a pleasant atmosphere. All kinds of therapies and treatments are available in the modern clinic within the hotel, and the juices and salads provided for the group are outstanding. The group was quite small and people doing shorter detoxes came and went over the time. I thoroughly recommend this detox break for anyone, whether or not they feel the need – it’s brilliant and you leave feeling really well and really motivated!

I have been to Coveyheugh several times and it is always a wonderful place to retreat and recharge. The house is beautifully decorated but it still feels relaxing, like a proper home. The environment is delightful and Anne-Lise and Brian are wonderful hosts/therapists. It's also incredibly good value for money. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

There are many things that make Coveyheugh House such a unique experience not least the beautiful setting, the remarkable value and the exceptional treatments but above all it is the dedication and passion of Brian and Anne-lise that help create a stay that is truly second to none and cannoty be compared with any where else in the UK. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Coveyheugh House is an absolute must for anyone wishing to take their health to a whole new level.

Never felt more rested and well coming back from a break. The grounds are beautiful! Anne-Lise and Brian created a magic environment. Refreshingly down-to-earth spirits, genuine and happy, knowledgeable and caring providing a wonderful space to let go and re-charge.

I had previously stayed with Anee-lise and Brian 3 years previously. I got excellent dietary advice that I still follow to this day. This resulted in such an imporvement in my health that I am now working full time after years of ill health. BTW The colonics take a bit of getting used to but you feel so good after it is definitely worth it. Oh and the massages are the best!

Coveyheugh is almost impossible to describe. I rate it very highly because it is perfect for me. I can only say go and find out for yourself. I have been on many weekend breaks, mostly extended, at least ten visits. It is like home from home for me and when I have to leave I have mixed feelings, partly of excitement because I feel so clean and full of life and partly sadness because I know it will be at least 4 months before I can go back again! Brian and Anne Lise Miller are the kindest most caring hosts.

I normally drive up from Hertfordshire on a Thursday to arrive in time for supper. I love Anne-Lise's cooking and wish I could eat for the whole weekend but that is not what I go for. I have a colonic the next morning and the fast begins. The juices are delicious and if there any ingredients you don't like, Anne-Lise will tweak them to your taste. You have to remember this is a detox. So certain ingredients are necessary. I fast for three days, have a little to eat on the Sunday lunchtime, a bit more on the Monday morning, another colonic (which is probably my fourth by that time!) and then drive home. Not everyone has so many colonics. That is my choice.

The treatments are given with such care and concentration, one cannot help but feel energised and, above all, safe. This is not about material surroundings. It is about atmosphere and healing, as well as a feeling of ‘family’ with whoever is there with you at the time. It is always a real privilege to be at Coveyheugh. Spaces are limited – only up to half a dozen guests at a time – and the season is short. In fact I could be shooting myself in the foot here – and I’m hurrying off now to make my next booking!
