Let yourself be pampered and 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 focus on small groups in large locations to assure personal attention as well as a sense of privacy and tranquility. We start with an introductory conversation to understand your story and be able to provide a customized retreat experience.
Our aim is to inspire you to continue your journey at home towards a lifestyle that promotes habits that serve you well. You will leave our retreat with understanding and a set of tools, ready to be applied directly in your daily life. You can do this by yourself or we can connect you to a local specialist in the Netherlands for professional guidance.
