The art of healing through nutrition


Good food and nutritional expertise lies at the heart of everything we do. The planning and inspiration that goes into creating the perfect menu for each of our events is unparalleled. We want to empower you with the knowledge and tools to reclaim your health through simple and sustainable nutritional healing.

As we design a Reclaim Your Self event, we take into account the time of year and create seasonally appropriate menus using fresh, organic and local ingredients. The teachers and therapists have an input into the food we serve you, to enable you to get the best out of your classes and treatments.

What makes us special is that we use natural nutrition principles to create menus that re-balance the body by serving foods that support the body's natural process and rhythm.

Each and every meal is a delicious feast and our nutritionist carefully creates menus that work with the seasons. For instance, when spring arrives the body naturally wants to eliminate stored toxins which have built up over the winter months, so we serve you foods that encourage the body to detox and offer advice on naturopathic cleansing techniques. In winter the body is storing energy and it needs sustaining and warming foods - we would never ask you to do a detox in the winter, as this goes against the natural process of your body.

We also share our knowledge so you can continue to work with natural nutrition principles at home. We provide easy to follow recipes and our nutritionist runs workshops to explain how and why certain foods work well and shares some of the insights she has gained while on her journey mastering the art of natural nutrition. You can also have an individual session with our nutritionist, to give you an in-depth look into your own health picture. Our nutritionist will work with you to design a personal programme of nutritional healing for you.

What is natural nutrition?
Natural nutrition works on the principle that the body does not know how to work against us, it always does the best it can in any given situation and that healing of disease requires the removal of internally and externally generated stress.

Natural nutrition works by empowering you with knowledge and information so that you can see the connection between all your symptoms while knowing that your body is maintaining integrity at all times. By taking away fear and disconnection to your own body, this act of empowerment will inspire you to own your own healing process.

A natural nutritionist will give you sufficient information to be able to mechanically change your health picture immediately. With a change of diet and through using naturopathic techniques the body immediately feels less stressed and begins to let go. At the same time you can begin a journey to make sure these improvements are permanent.

Natural nutrition also recognizes the power of nature and its principles works to help you respond to natural influences. These major influences which cannot be ignored are able to produce more cleansing and change than any practitioner or supplementation. The influences referred to are moon phases, seasonal changes, equinoxes and solstices.
