Testimonials

Below is a list of wonderful comments left by previous detox guests…

“Dear Vivien, I would like to thank you and all at Simply Healing for helping me to de-stress and detox last week. The atmosphere at Alliblaster House is warm and welcoming. Your juices and soups were delicious – even the potassium broth! I’m not sure if your scales are working properly though, as when I got home I had not lost four pounds, but half a stone!
I have also contributed a blog post about my visit. Once again, many thanks for a healthy, relaxing and healing week.”

“When I arrived at Simply Healing, I thought NO-ONE could help me. I felt bloated, tired and burnt out. With the help from Vivien and her fantastic staff, within two days, I was a new person. My mind had quietened and my health complaints were on the way out. Surprisingly I also wasn’t hungry and was really excited to be juicing for another three days. The juices were really tasty and you could feel the health benefits straight away.
As a journalist, I've been on lots of detox retreats and spa breaks but this is the best by far. As soon as you walk through the door, you are pampered and looked after by knowledgable staff with hearts of gold.
Thank you!”

“Dear Vivien and the whole Simply Healing team
Thank you for a wonderful, life-enhancing stay in your beautiful house. I enjoyed it enormously - the company was good, the rooms were so comfortable, the fireside cosy, the walks led by Kate beautiful and exhilarating. All the treatments I had - wraps, facials, massages, foot attention and the very enlightening and helpful session with Viv - were just great. It’s so good to be cocooned and looked after. I shall definitely be back. As for the wonderful Barn Owl in residence - he knows a good spot when he sees one! I am amazingly un-hungry! Love, Edwina”

“Well I am feeling like a new me!
I have visited Simply Healing every year for the last six years and it never ceases to amaze me.
The feeling of serenity from the moment you enter the house is amazing. Vivien’s love and healing shines through.
This is a Detox retreat and not really to be likened to a fluffy dressing gowned Spa. The purpose of such a retreat is to rid your body of toxins and rejuvenate your body inside and out. This begins with freshly made juices every 2 hours each made to provide different essential vitamins and minerals and for their antioxidant properties etc.
There are then many complimentary therapies to choose from. Some are of course included in your package and the rest are up to you but guidance is given if requested.
Many of the therapies work long after you leave the treatment room, such as the Detox Fitness Wrap which remains active for up to 15 hours (so best not to shower!) The therapists are trained to the highest standard and they are very aware of the body and its health or lack of.
There are many beautiful rooms and I have been lucky enough to stay in all of them from the Gold to the Blue and on my last visit the Orange Room.
It was once again the most amazing experience and a definite must for those interested in the best possible rejuvenation inside and out.”

Colonic Hydrotherapy at Simply Healing
“...Everyone should have one. I have increased energy levels, my immune system is far more effective, joint and muscle aches have mostly disappeared. My stomach is no longer bloated.
I nearly didn't go through with it (tube issues) - I am glad I did, the health benefits far outweigh the tube stigma and my male ego. The staff were friendly and professional and made me feel at ease. Don’t take my word for it, do your own research, this has been an effective health treatment for me...”

TIM WALLACE (May 2012)

“Dear Vivien, where can I start... what an amazing life changingly incredible stay! I have not stopped talking about you all and I'm now your biggest fan and salesperson for detox! I came to stay very overweight and miserable and left so positive and happy and 13lbs lighter!
A miracle in such a short time. You have such a magical home, it makes you feel loved and nurtured and with all your truly amazing therapists you offer something a world away from the commercial spas and detox places. Its a secret gem that you want to tell everyone about but also not tell everyone about, some people get it and some people don’t. I completely loved it, it’s now a place I will return to when I feel out of sync and in need of a service or MOT!
A huge big thank you to you all and I’ve made some amazing new friends too!!!
Huge hugs and love Vx”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you. Can’t tell you how much I needed this! Your lovely house, your lovely people. Was a caterpillar but with your cocoon left feeling a monarch butterfly!”

VP (April 2011)

“The greatest benefit juice fasting gave me was increased energy levels, rejuvenation and regeneration (as well as some gratefully received weight loss!) I wanted to rapidly repair the damage to myself from the past and allow my body to repair itself. I was able to be intensely nourished by the juices and my organs given a much needed rest from being overloaded and working overtime trying to correct and eliminate toxins.”

“Magic place, amazing people, 5 days I won’t forget, will see you all again! Keep up the great work guys. Many, many thanks.”

“Just want to say thank you for sorting me out - came broken and left fixed. Can’t thank you enough. I will be back”

“Magical, inspiring and enlightening, an amazing group of people to nurture and soothe. Vivien ...well, she has to be experienced to be believed”

“Wow! Feel fantastic what a great start Vivien. Just the tonic to get things moving, whole staff wonderful. See you all again soon. Love”

“Oh, words fail me, but will try to express ... The pampering, nurturing and camaraderie, the treatments, the lovely juices, the gorgeous rooms and location.
The experience was a total escape. I have a tear and a smile as I leave, but will be back. Xxxxxxxxx Thank you so much”

“Total relaxation - just what I needed. Lovely house, lovely people - the most wonderful treatments ever and the juices - just divine. Thank you all for making my stay perfect. I will definitely be back”

“Just so wonderful to step into a warm and kind environment. Came empty left energised after all the laughter and pampering. When I arrived, I started feeling very warm & secure. I have had wonderful treatments and feel better physically & emotionally. I have met some lovely people and will stay in touch with them”
