Wellbeing Retreat In Koh Samui

So last month i decided, along with my wife, to take ourselves off and stay in a Wellness Retreat in Koh Samui, Thailand! The retreat was called New Body and Mind and my wife had stayed there a number of years ago!

She loved it the first time round and had been longing to go back there again...so she pursuaded me to go along with her this time and to do a Complete Detox and Cleanse program! The program was for a week and involved "Fasting" for 4 days as well as regular daily Colon Cleansing and a Liver flush.  my body was so in need of this detox as i had been suffering from some digestive issues for a while with some bloating and wind!

The retreat was very organic and simple, set amidst beautiful lush gardens right on the beach and our accommodation was a small cottage where we could listen to the sound of the waves and early morning bird song! Our days involved waking up at 5.30am and then going on an hour long walk through the local villages and back along coast. This was followed by a fresh green juice drink and then stretching and Yoga. Later our mornings were filled with infra red saunas and a colon cleanse, which although not the best experience, was in deed extremely beneficial to the body....i felt so "light" after each session!!!

The afternoons were filled with daily sporting activities, including Kayaking, Thai boxing and Volleyball and we even learnt how to do traditional Thai cooking. Also included was a daily hour and a half long massage which was absolutely blissful, overlooking the beach and the bay.

Supper consisted of another juice drink and lots more water and herbs to flush away all the toxins built up. The whole week was an amazing experience and very worth while and i would thoroughly recommend anyone wanting to lose weight and detox their body to go to New Body and Mind. The staff were so friendly and you actually felt as if you were part of a family!!!

We both came back feeling healthier and more energised along with a more peaceful and relaxed state of mind!!
