Juice detox

Milestone detox gives you a very enjoyable experience whilst keeping you from the temptations of the outside! You are sent away with the tools to carry on At Home. My 2 day detox was packed full with everything I wanted! Walking along the Cotswold way and some yoga/Pilates and lots more. Very informative, enlightening talks and the most wonderful raw food cookery demonstrations that I used as soon as I got home! For me, I wanted a quick detox boost and needed a few more ideas.

An Amazingly Beautiful One Stop Shop

The advert is and website is a true reflection of Milestone. I had all the treatment on location, lymphatic massage, colonics, PEMF, Infared Sauna etc. All you need to take is yourself and your clothing, all prodcuts were given including a robe. Juices were made for you and workshops on hair and skin detox, with daily clay or wheatgrass face masks. Whether it is juicing or raw food. Whatever your needs they will work with you and get you on a path to wholeness. There is also pilates exercise at 8:00 in the morning half an hr and one hr sessions alternate days. There is also a gym session with personal trainer. Walks half an hr every other morning and two to three cotswold walks of the area 4.5 and 5.5 mile walks on alternate days. Amazing. The garden was beautiful, overlooking the steam train rail line. I enjoyed the swing and the out door trampoline. You can do additional treatments like hair, pedicure, manicure, other massages at an additional cost. There were salt baths alternate days of Epsom salt and Magnesium Flakes. The rooms are very lovely. I stayed in The Isbourne Room which has a shared wet room which is its only draw back especially if you want to stay in your room and you are on a juice diet. But there are several other bathrooms on the other side to meet those needs and you have access to the sauna at late night or early in the morning. It is the budget room, lots of storage, stunning view of garden and the streets on the other side. You have the privacy all by yourself at night, so I could play my music and rest assured I was not interrupting anyone, while there are treatments in progress, the area can be busy, but you can stay in your room if you desire. The wet room outside of treatment times is exclusive to you but during treatment its biggest draw back as stated above. After my colonic tretament I was advised to take more lineed tablets per day to increase my water absorption and bowle moments. I can say after 6 days I lose 11 pounds and my water level went up by over 7%. Thank you to every one, I would definitely recommend this palce and would go again. It was an amazing encounter, with personalised treatment.

Wonderful peaceful and nutritional retreat

This lived up to expectations. The premises were beautiful with tastefully decorated rooms. The juices were great tasting and Helena customised them for my particular health needs. At no point during my 4 day stay was I hungry. At the start I shared my goals which were met by the end of the stay.

Staff were very helpful and knowledgable too, running some of the workshops and treatments. Helena's workshops were very informative, I certainly learnt some new recipes and busted some misconceptions about food.

Jonathan took us for great walks and we had wonderful weather for them. The Cotswolds are truly beautiful.

My room was newly opened and in the annexe, the sauna and colonic clinic room were also in the annexe. However, access to the only bathroom in the annexe when colonics were taking place was an issue, as people's needs following colonic was urgent. So I felt I needed to keep it free and had to go over to the main house. Also people having used the sauna at the same time as the colonic clinic was in progress could find they needed to vacate the only bathroom, post sauna,if a colonic client needed the toilet urgently. This did not impact negatively on my stay but I would like the owners to be aware as others may not be as accommodating as me.

I would definitely return and am interested in the raw food weekends.

Lifechanging Experience

Mum and I came to Milestone Detox for the 'Raw Food Weekend' March 3rd-5th and it was a life changing experience for us. The combination of carefully prepared beautiful raw food, supplements and treatments to gently encourage our bodies to detox had a profound effect on us. I started to detox straight away, an experience I was unprepared for because of the dense headache and sickness that I felt, but it was sobering and liberating at the same time to realise that my body had been holding on to a toxic load that it could not get rid of. The detox process facilitated that release and I felt incredible, especially after the colonic.

As a healthy person with no issues at all, this was an important turning point for me: I came to Milestone looking for keys to support my general health and that of my family and I really did learn that my body needed help, along with the means to do so. Helena taught us about every meal we ate, starting with watching each meal being prepared by her in the kitchen, providing us with the recipes for all meals and detailed information about the ingredients. Talk about superfoods, this was the supercharged download to equip us for the rest of our lives! I cannot speak highly enough of this 'immersive' experience. The PEMF mat, the grounding sheets, Chi machine, Infra-Red Sauna, tongue scraping played their own part in our time apart to detox and recharge the batteries. My Mum has damaged nerves in the soles of her feet (from a bad sunburn years ago) and has always suffered stabbing pains through the night hours. No pain at all as she slept on the grounding sheet. Amazing. Also, her heavy medication requires her to also take daily Omeprazole (the prescription-only 'king of antacids'). On arrival at Milestone she was dismayed to realise it was not in her bag. The incredible thing is, she did not experience any acid reflux or heartburn at all while on the raw food diet. That is huge.

Helena and her team are friendly, professional and kind. They come around you to teach, inspire and gently guide you through a detox process. I can't speak highly enough of them.

The biggest surprise of all for us is that on our return home, coming out of the supported environment of Milestone Detox, we have never gone back to our old way of eating. We hoped to find a few keys and insights to live a more healthy life but came home totally empowered to make massive changes that we WANT to make. I'll be honest, I went to Milestone and in my heart said 'I do not want to give up coffee' because I love it and only drank it in moderation anyway. I can't explain this but just 3 days of Milestone affected a change in my body such that I totally lost the desire for caffeine. I just don't want to drink it. We bought decaffeinated tea, drink a little of it, but are so busy drinking our water and other interesting juices that the need for tea/coffee has all but gone.

Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to honour Milestone for a sea-change in the direction my family is going. We are all eating a nearly vegan diet, as much raw food as we can, love the raw recipes, are hanging around the gluten free and health sections in the supermarket, are daily making nut milk, oat milk, and getting excited when we discover a fab new recipe that we KNOW will do us good.

I would say that Milestone empowered me to understand my own body and the food I need to eat for life, literally to be full of LIFE. There's no way we could have achieved such a shift without the time at Milestone. We saved ferociously to be able to go, but the expense was worth every single penny. If I were you, I'd get booked in before there's no space left this year. That day is coming.

We feel immensely grateful for and empowered by the whole experience. Thank you Helena and Jonathan, God Bless You

There is no pressure to do everything but I'd really encourage you to try the things offered to gain the maximum benefit. I wanted to kick start a healthier lifestyle.

I felt pampered and relaxed by the end of my 2 days and was nearly 4lbs lighter. I never felt hungry and was fascinated by all the alternatives there are to various foods/drinks we take for granted. I ended up taking a juicer home with me and I have to say this has been my new best friend. I juice most days (replacing one meal with a filling, nutritious juice) and I even made my own almond milk (so easy). In fact the knowledge I came away with has really changed the way I eat (and even my family are adopting a few ideas). Quite an experience and I'd definitely go back.

Total t.l.c.

I arrived at milestone looking for a way to change the way I felt about myself, my lifestyle and diet. From the minute I arrived I was welcomed into a warm, open family - one which made the 3 days of detox much easier than anticipated.

Helena and her team have made the milestone experience informative and very special - it was hard work, but relaxing at the same time - and I came away with the feeling that, actually, I am worth the time and effort and that looking after myself shouldn't be bottom of the 'to do' list.

Pilates every morning, infrared saunas and other treatments and workshops break the day up - you won't feel bored - and they all contribute towards making you feel so much better at the end of your stay. The Pilates instructor was fantastic and tailored the workouts to our abilities and definitely pushed us to do that little bit more!

4 weeks later and I still lemonise in the morning and body brush every day, I've pretty much given up bread (thanks to the amazing recipe Helena sent me), rarely eat meat and I've barely touched coffee or alcohol, which is a miracle bearing in mind I was drinking about 6 coffees a day before I went to milestone.

Where to begin? In a nutshell (soaked of course) an awesome weekend, in a beautiful home, with an amazing host.

My friend and I spent a weekend with Helena and her team on a raw food weekend. She greeted us with a hug and made us feel we were important to her from the moment we arrived to the hugs we received when we left. Nothing was too much for her and her knowledge of the subject is inspiring. She made me a juice to get rid of my hayfever symptoms without question and it worked.

The demos were brilliant and what I particularly liked was the fact that her ethos was to empower us to make our own decisions on how to take this forward. She didn't judge or try to convert us. She tailored her teaching to what we needed and her enthusiasm was infectious.

The house and gardens were stunning and she'd thought of everything, the welcome baskets, you tube tutorials, DVDs, matching crockery, napkins holders, flowers on the table; everything to make the weekend beautiful.

The team that work with Helena are professional, equally as knowledgeable and fully on board with her ideology. You felt they wanted to be there and weren't just there for the money. The treatments we received (massage, exercise, irrigation, sauna) were wonderful. As mad as it sounds, I would have like the option to pay for a 2nd irrigation to save having to find a practitioner at home.

Over the 2 days, I lost 5lbs and 2 inches from my waist, I left full of knowledge and new ideas, I feel energised and ready to take on the world.

Energising weekend FULL of flavour

A friend and I went for a raw food weekend, which we immersed ourselves into with open minds. I have come away knowing that the food prepared over the weekend is the type of food I want to continue eating. I always add salt and lots of pepper to every cooked meal I eat and that is besides any sauces for flavour - I must find cooked food bland. I never once wanted to reach for the salt/pepper mill or thought about nandos sauce. The raw foods we ate were an explosion of flavour on my tastebuds!

The learning experience (and knowledge of our beautiful host Helena) with the food classes gave you the information you need and the confidence to try things at home. I am no cook by any means and I am not one to follow recipes, especially if they are long and drawn out so this was a breath of fresh air for me. I have already made some almond milk for my breakfasts and have had my first delivery of snowpeas and sunflower shoots - YUM! We even got to eat chocolate mousse. What I learned was there is a healthy option to every yummy treat.

Following our weekend, I feel cleaner, more energised and excited to try some new recipes (because lets face it, anyone can chop, soak, sprout and blend!)

I can thoroughly recommend Milestone Detox. It is a lovely house in beautiful countryside, and I attended a weekend there to learn how to prepare raw food, hands on. Before every meal, Helena showed us exactly how to prepare the food and then we got to eat it! I learned a lot and enjoyed the different recipes.

What stood out for me during the weekend was the exceptional care shown by Helena for her guests. I could not have been better looked after. She is a very kind person and did everything she could to make my stay as comfortable as possible.

Milestone Detox has an amazing number of different therapies to help its clients towards better health........colonics, infrared sauna, Pilates, lymphatic drainage massage, and many others. I really needed to stay for longer to have time to benefit from everything that was on offer. I shall definitely be going back at some time in the future for a longer stay, as this is the best detox holiday I have had yet. Very importantly for me, the beds were very comfortable and I slept well. I often suffer from insomnia, especially on my first night away from home, and nearly always have to take sleeping tablets. But I did not need to take them this time. And I was given a lovely large bright sunny room which was therapeutic in itself.

My fibromyalgia disappeared! I also lost ten pounds which is a fair amount for me seeing i am not large, and this despite the full strength juices, which were delicious!

From the personal hygene kit filled with great products and detox aides, Magnesium salts or Epsom salts for bath time... to the infrared sauna and PEMF mat, oh, and a few professional hydracolonics also included, which for me are way more effective than self administerd colonics. Also included was Pilates, with a very good teacher, a personal training session down at the local gym which i found refreshingly motivating, daily use of a Powerplate...i could go on...The area is stunning, and lovely Shelagh, who is a warm, upbeat part of the small team, took us on a mindfulness walk that was really special.

It was fascinating to watch Helena and her assistant Shelagh demonstrating some truly delicious dishes so much so that I'm hoping to return for this course very soon. I'd highly recommend it. The spa treatments take place in a separate clinic adjacent to the main house and all therapists were friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

My 7 day juice detox

In November 2015 I went to The Milestone Detox for my 7 day juice detox and it was for me a life changing experience. As well as the comfortable accommodation and the amazing welcome from Helena and all those involved at the centre there was lots to learn. The juices were tasty and nourishing and the information regarding lifestyle changes I needed certainly made me think. We started our day with Pilates and then were encouraged to take part in other treatments on offer and the sauna was great. There were walks to suit us and we visited a beautiful silk factory as well as being taught to make the juices and much more nutritional information. My whole way of eating has changed and my health has improved because of it. I highly recommend it.

The most transforming stay at The Milestone Detox

I visited The Milestone Detox early in February this year and I can honestly claim to have been transformed for life in the Cotswolds. The whole experience was so enlightening and informative. Helena has a wonderful way in which she shares her immense knowledge on detoxing that does not put you under pressure in any way at all, but only reinforces that you immediately want to follow her teachings – which are all for the better! I learnt so much about taking care of myself both from the inside and the outside and I now continue at home everything that I learned from Helena. The juices that we were given were simply delicious, and so nutritious – and now I cannot stop making them each day, I had to buy a juicer immediately! The treatments, sauna and exercise classes just brilliant and then there is all the information gathering in between!! I came away feeling happier, fitter and slimmer and now understand what I need to do to keep my body happy too!! I could not recommend Milestone Detox more highly, and I am happy for anyone to email me at julia@jsibun.co.uk if they would like any additional recommendation before making a booking to visit Milestone. Hooray for people like Helena and Sheila who are able to make us feel so welcome and at home, and are prepared to share so much wonderful knowledge to help us keep fit, very healthy and strong in life.

Took two day non residential juice detox, colonic washout and treatments on offer. Felt amazing after and learnt a great deal amongst lovely staff and relaxed friendly atmosphere. Helena who is in charge is very knowledgeable and has researched and sourced superb products. All hangs on Helena. Make sure you are clear what you are doing and when, organisation can slip.

Healthy Holiday (for a change!)

I recently completed a 5 day juice detox at Milestone and feel that it was definitely money well spent. The house is beautiful and very cosy although extremely spacious and I stayed in a very comfortable en-suite bedroom. Never having done a juice detox before, I didn't know what to expect or how I would feel. I can honestly say that I never felt hungry once as the huge variety of juices I was given obviously provided me with all the nourishment I needed. In addition to simply relaxing, I also went on some beautiful walks in the Cotswolds, did Pilates with a brilliant teacher every morning and had a variety of therapies throughout my stay. I also watched some really interesting and informative DVDs about juicing. Helena was a welcoming host and very eager to share her knowledge. I picked up many useful tips and have since made some tweaks to my diet - bought a spiraliser and a nutribullet! I felt very refreshed after my detox and would definitely return to Milestone to do another. Thoroughly recommended!

An inspirational detox

I attended a detox course in November2015 and found the experience truly inspirational so much so that I am going again in April 2016. All aspects of the course were absolutely excellent. I thoroughly recommend the experience.

Fabulous Detox. Highly recommend!

Milestone Detox is like a home away from home with the added benefit of having the fabulous Helena and her lovely husband Jonathan there to look after you. I enjoyed every day of my seven days there. Helena's programme made each moment a delight. From the amazing juices to the many treatments included in the detox price. The rooms are beautiful. The area around Milestone is outstanding and I enjoyed long walks every day, three of which Helena lead telling interesting stories about local landmarks. I was never once hungry and enjoyed the daily talks on nutrition. We had great fun figuring out what I could drink instead of milky coffee in the mornings and ended up with hot almond milk and maple syrup. I haven't drunk coffee since and LOVE my almond milk. Thanks Helena! Milestone Detox really helped set me on a new way of living. And it was so easy. Helena made it make sense. 11 months later I have lost 7 kgs, make hard core green green juices every day (something my taste buds couldn't manage at first but now love), make my own raw chocolate, eat a lot less meat, more raw food and spend many happy hours looking up fun vegetarian recipes on-line. Milestone Detox is not a normal run of the mill detox. It really is life changing and I gained two new fabulous friends in Helena and Jonathan. I can't wait to go again. Well done to both of you.

An exceptional, lifechanging experience

Milestone Detox is a very special experience .From the moment we arrived until the moment we left Helena and Jonathan took care of us. Their attention to detail, making sure that everything we needed for us to get the very best out of our time with them was arranged. From the right nutrition to detox to the right treatments to help us relax and rebalance , their thought-fullness and care was amazing . The whole atmosphere is full of peace, the team are all so loving and considerate and the place itself is beautiful. We left after our stay feeling completely rested, revitalised and looking a lot healthier than when we arrived. We also left with a lot more knowledge on how to maintain it. I can't recommend this beautiful place enough. It really is lifechanging.

Exactly what I needed...

I stayed in the Milestone detox for a week in December. From the moment I got there to the time I left it was an amazing time.

Helena and Jonathon took care of my every need and made sure I got the most out of my experience.

The house itself is extremely comfortable and to a very high standard (which most in the UK are not) and situated in the picturesque village of Whichcombe. The quality of juices and evening broth kept me full and I never felt hungry, even though I had mentally prepared myself for it!

There is a generous amount of treatments included in the package and I left feeling refreshed and revitalise.

I would highly recommend anyone to go to this magical place.

Excellent Detox

Our first visit was April 2015 for what was a transformational experience. It wasn't just a detox, it was an educational experience and the lessons we can carry forward into our lives forever to live a happier and healthier life. Thank you to The Milestone Detox Team... you were all awesome! We are now booked for a 2nd visit this year.

A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE

My 5 day detox at Milestone changed my life forever. The outstanding level of professional excellence, the luxurious accommodation and the wonderful surrounding area are matched by the variety in the programme and the effectiveness of the regime. As well as the physical, mental and emotional impact of the detox the level of information imparted, especially by Helena, created the will and motivation to follow through into a lifestyle change. That knowledge was and continues to be, empowering. The walks, the exercises and the documentaries ensured that I was never bored. It was amazing that drinking only juices and supplements never once left me feeling hungry or grumpy! The infra red sauna, power plate and massages simply enhanced the experience yet further. It's one of the best things I have ever done.
