Our Approach
Your journey towardS health and vitality
During your stay you experience the healing power of a natural approach that addresses the underlying causes of psoriasis and arthritis: nutrition, stress and your surroundings. It is a complete package to help you reduce your symptoms and kick-start your journey towards healthy body and mind.
We start with an introductory conversation to understand your story and be able to provide a customized retreat experience.
We focus on small groups in large locations to assure personal attention as well as a sense of privacy and tranquility.
It takes time to get the busyness out of your system. We strongly recommend a 3-week stay for the best experience and results.
”Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food” Hippocrates
Arthritis and psoriasis are both inflammatory diseases. The most visible aspect of the inflammation is the inflamed skin or swollen and painful joints. However, often there is also an underlying invisible inflammation in the gut.
You can expect a high fiber, vegetable rich diet with enough Omega-3 fatty acids. Fresh, colorful and delicious food - customized to your dietary requirements and needs.
Our gut must be in balance for us to be healthy. We commence addressing it by serving the right nutritious whole food rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
To be able to create similar dishes at home, you can attend our cooking classes. You also get a prep guide with flavourful recipes that keep your meals nutritious, yet quick and easy.
