“…I have had the most amazing, rejuvenating and uplifting time.”
I have just spent five days doing a juicing retreat at Simply Healing and I have had the most amazing, rejuvenating and uplifting time. Regular and completely delicious juices throughout the day keep the hunger at bay topped off by stupendous and more-ish bowls of soup in the evening. Along with various cleansing therapies the detox process was expertly handled all round and I left feeling like a new woman! The therapists are all fantastic, as are the extraordinary team who run it all. You sense the calm, welcoming aura of the house as soon as you enter, and you feel immediately at home under the caring vigilance of the team. My room was warm, cosy and very pretty and the grounds and gardens are beautiful. I even swam every day in the lovely natural pool! There is a spiritual element to the retreat too with optional evening meditation sessions by the fire and healing therapies offered.
Thank you so much for a very special and memorable experience Vivian, Kate and Caz. I hope to be back.

“Healing Retreat of Excellence…”
What can I say? Vivien and Kate are just superb, everything you want in a healing retreat. Expertly devised and timed juices ..beautiful peaceful house and gardens in a stunning location. The treatments are second to none and professionally and holistically scheduled into your stay. Vivien is also there to guide you with your mental health issues, that we all have from time to time. Love them!

“Special Healing Retreat…”
@simplyhealingretreats .. mygotoplace..I’ve been going to this special healing retreat since my recovery from cancer. Vivienne, Kate and Caz do know it all; there is no escape ..They take you off all stimulants (the usual culprits 🤯, coffee, alcohol etc etc) Straight on to disciplined/timed juices in the dining room, country walks, colonic hydrotherapy, lymphatic drainage massage, deep tissue massage and reflexology and a one to one with Vivienne.. who gives you a mental health review, in her loving, no nonsense way .. for me this time it was alcohol and relationships .. and have since stopped drinking 🙂↔️.. It’s half an hour from Gatwick Airport .. she helps burnt out individuals .in fact, anyone, whose healing from this fast paced world of ours .. always meet wonderful people there too..And lovely to see my art work in the yoga/meditation studio 🙏🥰 Thank you 😘

“The best reset you will ever have in the most beautiful surroundings. Prepare to feel brand new”
A truly incredible rest and reset. Thank you Viv, Kate, Jo and Janine for your TLC. Beautiful treatments and delicious juices and soups – precisely the rejuvenation I needed. The yoga was fabulous. I’ve been lucky enough to visit before, and I will be back!

“EXQUISITE”
There is nothing like this detox and experience, coming from someone who has done almost every single one under the sun and stayed in the best medical spas. The juices are EXQUISITE. They have the program down pat. You are NEVER hungry (never thought I would say that from a juice cleanse). A couple of detox symptoms aside this is ease. Waking up in the country manor with the caring team, and wonderful guests will blow you away. You are held in this space by nature and Madame Viv. Truly life changing, and “Simply Healing”. I did not want to leave. It was the ultimate reset and you walk out shedding all the weight you weren’t comfortable with on your body. x.

“A warm welcoming detox retreat that truly works”
What can I say except THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Viv and all her team.
From the moment I walked through the door Vivien, Caz & Kate made me feel not just welcome but cacooned, like I had come to a place of kindness and healing. This is not a trendy spa retreat – this is detox and healing at its very best but with the added advantage of it being in total comfort and beautiful surroundings.
I arrived, exhausted, emotional raw and completely toxic and left 7 days later not only 4.5kg lighter but emotionally lighter.
What was it like: I went through all the stages of detox: headaches, flu like symptoms, breakouts and then like a light shone on me the mental fog lifted, the weight dropped and my energy levels returned.
Viv did some deep emotional healing and I enjoyed a range of treatments, including colonics which were all amazing but I would definitely recommend the drench & quench facial, the detox wrap and the reflexology.
The juices were beautiful, clearly made fresh and thick and filling I never felt hungry. The Psyllium & clay I wont lie is an acquired taste but does what it says on the tin. Stripping out the toxins.
My bedroom was my sanctuary and was exactly what I needed to relax see photos, bed & linen that you sink into and relax, a helpful desk for me to check emails. The en-suite was again lovely with a bath to soak or a shower to invigorate and that all important private toilet!
I was with 3 other guests when i arrived and then 2 others joined. The joy of Simply Healing is that everyone here is here for their own positive agenda so we laughed and listened to each others stories and just enjoyed the company whilst working on ourselves.
I will definitely come again.

“A sanctuary”
I arrived broken and defeated by life but I couldn’t have chosen a better place to be put back together again. Vivien and Kate welcomed me into the sanctuary that they have created at Alliblaster House which is the perfect environment to rest and reset. They are incredibly knowledgeable and I felt very safe in their hands as I was guided through the detox.
The juices and soups are tasty and the regime is created to ensure hunger is kept at bay. The treatments were some of the best I have had and all the therapists were friendly and supportive offering advice and tips about maintaining a healthier lifestyle going forward. In 7 days I lost 4.5 kilos and I am continuing to lose weight by sticking to the clean eating and meal times that we followed during the detox.
I would absolutely recommend Simply Healing and I will definitely return for ongoing maintenance of mind, body and spirit.
Thank you all for your kindness and support 💕

“Simply healing is simply first class”
I’m not one for writing reviews normally, but I felt this place was deserving of one.
I have done quite a few detoxes previously, but not for a couple of years, and this is due to the fact that they are rarely a pleasant experience, but you go for the result not the experience. Simply Healing is different, both the process and the result were a truly pleasant experience.
Previous detoxes have been hands-off, waterdown juices and very much a sausage factory enterprise, rather than the nurturing environment that you need as you detox. Vivien and her team make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive, the juices are varied (even tailored to you) and not watered down and you even get a proper hearty soup in the evening.
I was concerned that with concentrated juice and decent soups I wouldn’t lose the weight that I set out for, but I lost 8.5kgs on a 7-day juice detox program. These guys really know their stuff and its all the little details that accumulate to provide the result that only you have in your mind.
Genuinely a 5-star experience. Bravo!
