Re-set your life with an online supported fast and detox for removing toxins and boosting energy, a wonderful way to rejuvinate after a hectic summer season in time to recharge & reset.
I will guide you through this detox and nutritionally supported fast to make this incredible healing journey easy for you to accomplish. Our program safely removes toxins out of the body, designed to cleanse parasites, candida, heavy metals, the lymphatics and of course the liver. And after fasting for just 3 days, stem cells are activated to help repair all types of problems from joint pain to chronic illness or post viral fatigue. As well as that you will be activating the recycling mechanism of your body to get rid of your old, damaged, inflamed and cancerous cells. This process of “self-eating” is crucial to slow down ageing and improve recovery and is known as autophagy.
We will start with a 3 day pre-cleanse of clean eating (raw & cooked vegan) with recipes supplied.
To lead us gently into a guided fast and cleanse for 4 days over the weekend, followed by 3 days of post-cleanse clean eating, with an easy to follow step by step downloadable guide (with all experience levels in mind).
Support is never far away with access to a Private Facebook group. Facebook participation is not mandatory (but is recommended for community vibes) and we are available via email for those that would prefer a social media detox.
All the supplies you need will be listed in the shopping list and guide which you will receive with plenty of time to prepare your environment for a calm transition. Recipes for green veggies juices and vegan broths will be provided as well as trusted sources for psyllium husk, bentonite clay, activated charcoal, supplemental vitamins/minerals and healing parasite cleanse herbs. Suggestions for daily health routines such as tongue scraping, oil pulling and skin brushing will be given as well as sauna, yoga and meditation. Colonic hydrotherapy is also strongly recommended on day 2 and day 4 (of the fasting days) and trusted and very experienced contacts in London (4 Balance & Health) and Ibiza (the amazing Anne-Marie in San Carlos) & now Palma, Mallorca will be recommended. If budget is an issue then daily organic coffee enemas will be recommended with guides & links to purchase kits, its really not that hard or scary we promise :) These coffee colonics will flood the body with antioxidants stimulating the bodies natural healing abilities.
1 hour Live Zoom call with expert facilitation, informative talks, group connection, and space for Q&A’s.
All sessions are recorded to accommodate different time zones and schedules.
This is more than just a detox protocol, this is a healing transformational process to help destress & re-balance your body nutritionally, physically, mentally and spiritually, helping your soul to shine and leaving you with new found tools to maintain your transformation.

YOUR HOST
Mays is a certified and registered Nutritionist trained to Masters level with years of experience in guiding detoxes and retreats. Mays will hold space for you throughout the detox inviting you to move into a safe, effective and therapeutic healing process.
Why is our Cleanse program superior to others available?
Cleansing the body in this modern toxin saturated world requires the right knowledge to be done safely and effectively. You will be surprised how, with our program, you do not feel hungry, and after the first 3 days you will be so full of energy you may not want to stop!
We suggest the use psyllium and clay to absorb and eliminate both the micro and macro toxins stuck in the body, herbs to loosen debris in the gut and to remove toxins in deeper tissues, and nutritional support to allow the body to do its own natural repairs. We provide you with bespoke anti-parasite cleansing herbs to supercharge the cells and cleanse the lymphatics, with added supplementation (to be purchased yourselves) of vitamin C, magnesium, turmeric and N-Acetyl Cysteine to cleanse the liver
We assure you that we have one of the best programs to safely and effectively remove toxins and rejuvenate, giving you the tools and education necessary to reset your life so you can feel this goodness in your everyday life.
Important Note:
The 4 day fasting period is quite involved and will require preparation of detox shakes, juices, broths and taking different supplements in 2 hour periods throughout each day so prepare to clear your diary and take time out of daily life to focus on your self nourishment and healing. Rest, relaxation, meditation & gentle exercise like yoga is recommended. Often fasting can release stuck emotions so allow space for things to develop and heal as required. See it as a home retreat environment taking time out of life to nourish yourself.
The pre and post cleanse will aid the fasting period to be as smooth as possible and if you can even pre and post cleanse for 7 days that would be even better :)

Registered Nutritionist & Naturopath, Yoga/Meditation Teacher, Retreat Leader
I passionately believe in the healing power of nature and now work with an integrative approach to nutrition and healthcare, incorporating the whole person and providing an overall holistic wellness offering. I believe that you must heal the mind alongside diet & lifestyle changes, you cannot fix one without the other. Through my experiences and studies I can help individuals heal holistically through one to one nutrition consultations, guided meditations, yoga lessons, pranayama or reiki healing.
My experiences and experimentations with different dietary models means that I can help both vegans and non-vegans alike make their way to optimum health and nutrition. I also work with clients to find and maintain optimal weight, healing their relationships with food and helping clients to see that weight loss does not need to include fad restrictive diets but more of a lifestyle change towards healthier eating & living.
There’s nothing I love more than sharing my knowledge and positive energy to help my clients achieve their goals and heal.
