My name is Iride, I am holistic nutritionist and have been living a plant-based lifestyle for more than 3 years now.
When it all started?
In 2017 I felt low in energy and I had no idea what was happening to me. There wasn't a day in a week, that I didn't feel myself.
I started to look at different diets, adding to and changing my eating habits, I started to see nutritionists, followed some different diet protocols, but nothing worked for me until one day, I booked myself into a fully raw vegan retreat in Italy. I had no idea what to expect, but I was looking forward to give a go and try something new.
The first day I experienced bad detox symptoms. On day 2 I felt very sluggish. Day 3 my energy level went so high, that I thought I could walk back home to Scotland! Then I knew, I had found the answer! This new found energy lasted for 2 weeks after the detox and then, unfortunately, I was in the same place where I started....But the good part, I now knew how to pick myself up and I started to attend detox retreats regularly.
I was living a mega busy life running a stressful business, studying and endless goals and achievements. I felt I had no time to learn and integrate this new lifestyle into my current routines, and give my body and mind what it needed so badly, until one day in 2019....
At this time I started to feel very bloated, abdominal pain, no energy. After a lot of hospital appointments and checks, no one could tell me anything as to what was happening to me and I was given different painkillers and different antibiotics. Nothing helped. Fast forward to October 2020 when I ended up in the emergency department again and at this point they decided to do an ultrasound.
I will never forget the face of the nurse and her telling me that they had found 2 large tumours on my ovaries. Ovarian cancer stage 3, this was the diagnosis.
It was time to change! It was time to choose a new path of living.
I refused all medical treatments, surgery, chemo and all painkillers and started to detox my body. I was told by my oncologist, that I have 1 year to live and it turns out he was wrong! The deeper I researched and started to the detox, the healthier I felt. My energy levels increased to the highest level, I hadn't felt healthier and happier from what I started to experience in this journey.
I created my own little retreat for myself in the Highlands of Scotland. My new lifestyle and new self studies had started and I fell in love with the plant based lifestyle and my detox journey.
After 8 months and exploring different detox: fully raw, juice fasting, dry fasting, water fasting, all metastasis was cleared, and my CA125 results were stable and even dropping on some occasions. This was amazing for me to see how these changes in my diet and lifestyle had such an impact. I was learning so much about my body, about myself and with the changes, I naturally started to focus on how to live a healthier and happi life.
My retreats are all about helping you to find a better and happier you, using all the knowledge that I will share, and integrating it into your everyday living. I will never say that is easy, but what I will say is that it's worth it!
This journey is all about empowerment and creating a vibrant, informed, fulfilling life. Don't wait for a better time, just go and make this time for yourself xx
If you were always looking for a healthy body and mind, but didn't know where to start, detox is the answer.
I see detox as a way home, the way of creating the best version of ourselves.
80% of our immune system is located in our gut. Healthy gut, healthy us!
We all need a physical and mental detox at some point. During the detox, we are letting our body and mind to rest.
What benefits we are getting?
It helps to reduce inflammation, released toxins from the body, helps to get rid off bad habits, binge eating, stabilise a healthy weight and healthy relationship with the food, gives clear and glowing skin in the most natural way, also gives emotional balance, increases brain power, mental clarity.
Juicing is one of the easiest ways to feed ourselves with natural vitamins and minerals. When juicing, we're consuming more fruits and vegetables than we'd normally consume by eating them, hence when juicing we see greater results in a shorter period of time.
It helps to rest your body and mind, boost your immune system and most importantly, boost your energy to it's highest level!
This is the house where I put my soul and energy to create my retreats. A place where everyone is welcome, for those who need a small or big rest from the busy lives, for those looking for escapism, looking for direction, looking to clear their minds and reset themselve.
It is a house with very wild surroundings. We are close to the sea and mountains, the beautiful Gigaro beach and Gorges du Verdon a short trip away, with wine yards on our doorstep. It's our little place of peace.
With a garden full of a range of trees, plants and fruit, there's a place to find your own place of peace, whether that's a quiet spot in the shade of the gardens, or spending time in the Provence sunshine by the pool.
There are private or sharing bedrooms available with a shared bathroom, depending on your personal needs.
